'Shoreline' by Ted Stanley is a Conversation Between Mother Earth & Father Sky

Ted Stanley’s musical storytelling takes us listeners into a realm of remembrance. ‘Shoreline’ sings a love story of the entwined twins, nature and spirit, and the life that happens between them. When did the pain arise? Where did the storm brew? When did the connection start cracking? Amidst the beauty, joy, and physical intimacy? Stanley, in his latest release ‘Shoreline’, asks the questions that carry the answers symbolically. Why did we become who we are now? The answers to the chaos, the answer to the distrophy that lives somewhere deep and forgotten within us.

The song is an emotional outburst of grief, poetically crafted, and sung with a heavy heart. “The warnings came too soft for us to hear. We thought we had more time, we thought more years.” These lines are such an honest realisation of reality in each of our lives. “Your path led where the sirens scream so loud, while mine was lifted by some distant cloud.” The disconnect, the unawareness around it, the blindsight that leads to it when discomforts are ignored for little comforts. Ted puts light in the shadows of life that slowly makes its way between the twins, casting darkness over the world. How the small, unaware things lead to the bigger problems.

The crisis humanity faces today is a result of the little unseen things, unnoticed attentions, and ignorance. Ted Stanley’s ‘Shoreline’ is a parabolic attempt to bring to light the disconnection within each of us, to reconnect with the shadows, and to accept that love that forever lingers between everything. His story tells us to remember to walk closer to our shoreline to a’void’ the space that comes from distance.
