A New Shore Lyrics

Cover art for A New Shore lyrics by Steven Page

This is clearly referring to Steve leaving Barenaked Ladies, kind of as a response to BnL's "You Run Away". Especially with the line "This man's about to turn his whole life upside down", which alludes to the BnL song "Upside Down".

While i agree the song is about leaving BNL and starting again, i think its a stretch to assume that a specific couple of words refer to a song of the same name... Steve is too subtle for that.

He said in an interview that it was sort of a response to Upside Down. But there's probably more to it than that.
