The Tides is about a storm at sea and the battles that have taken place across centuries between sailors and the elements. I wrote the song shortly after a big storm (by UK standards!!) which got me thinking about how a life at sea must come with an acceptance of this eternal battle and that, especially in the past, there was no guarantee you would return.
