About the song: Save The Waves
Written in New Zealand in November 2004 [and now released on OP-ED: Environmental / Social / Political], ‘Save The Waves’ is an attempt to draw attention to coastlines worldwide, ravaged by development in all its various forms. Hopeful that the song would help raise awareness of endangered waves like the now destroyed ‘Harry's’ in Mexico, Daniel also wanted to highlight the tireless work done by organisations such as Save The Waves, Wildcoast and The Surfrider Foundation. |

Track 05: Save The Waves
Music & Lyrics by Daniel Gannaway/Apra © 2006
Another coastal gem
Somehow threatened
By development
A truly unique wave
Might no longer break
If we sit around and wait
'Cause every wave is unique
No two rides are the same yeah
'Cause every wave is unique
No two rides are the same
Save
Save the waves
Can we turn a blind eye
To some pipeline
With alternatives to try?
And that marina wall
No notification at all
Mother nature wasn't called
'Cause every wave is unique
No two rides are the same yeah
'Cause every wave is unique
No two rides are the same yeah
'Cause every wave is unique
No two rides are the same yeah
'Cause every wave is unique
No two rides are the same
Save
Save the waves
Save
Save
Save the waves
We should be concerned
As surfers we yearn
For every tube and turn
And a thing far worse
Than singing crowded verse
Would be no spots to surf
