Not when AHEAD TO THE SEA are entering the stage!
This is the new band of the Singer of Across the Border (RIP)!
Riverdance on Speed, with hard Guitars and a great Rhythm-Section, spiced with some cool Dub, the spirit and sound of Punk and some hot Ska Beats. That is their sound and they call it: Folk Punk.
Great Lyrics about Unfairness, Fight and Love, Happiness and Pain without beeing a teacher.
The heart is on the left side...!
A Must have for fans of The Pogues or newer bands like Flogging Molly!

Ahead To The Sea Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
"their form of protest"
No I could not believe my ears "protest",
For me they are just stupid I confess
I guess
Refrain:
I gonna shout a loud a big "Fuck You"
Shout
Each single voice for this party
Makes their idea presentable, I guess
And raises their self-confidence,
Their violence, brings a swing to the right, a repress
I guess
Refrain
The song "Shout" by Ahead To The Sea talks about the frustration towards the National Party and their voters. The lyrics start off by referring to a radio segment where a reader talks about their form of protest. The lead singer then expresses disbelief that their form of protest is actually protesting, and goes on to say that they are just stupid. The repetition of the word "guess" after each verse shows a sense of uncertainty and confusion towards the situation.
The frustration of the singer comes from how he thinks each single vote for the National Party makes their ideas seem more presentable and raises their self-confidence. The violence that comes with the party brings a swing towards the right and represses the freedom of expression. The chorus "I gonna shout a loud a big "F*** You" to the National Party and their voters too" is a direct expression of the singer's anger and disgust towards the National Party and its supporters.
Overall, the song is a call to action for people to speak up against wrong ideologies and government policies. The use of profanity in the chorus highlights the urgency and passion of the message.
