Burgh Island Lyrics

Lyric discussion by Scott1976 

Cover art for Burgh Island lyrics by Ben Howard

For me it's about not wanting to or being honest about being scared to show your true thoughts and a lot to do with that awkward and frustrating realism of always walking away from a moment or memory where you (insert afterthought) wished you'd just been honest and gone all in!

A lot of ego involved too, but as always his words leave you wondering if he knew what he was doing and he'd hoped you would think that. Very few song/lyrics have ever made me replay over and over so I could work them out. The very fact this was one of a very limited few over the last few years proves this guy's telnet!

Well done that man, plus her voice is mesmerising! :)
