The name Seafret, as well as being a pun on the guitar fret board, is also a local term for the two boys; it applies to the rolling mists that come in off the North Sea during summer. Now living in London, the sea is what the duo miss the most.
First meeting at an open mic night around 2011, the two had distinctly different levels of experience. Though a few years younger, Harry Draper was an experienced local musician; Jack Sedman, meanwhile, had quite literally only just discovered his voice.
Seafret released their debut EP 'Give Me Something' on Sweet Jane Recordings on September 21st 2014. The ‘Give Me Something’ EP features five tracks, ‘Give Me Something’, ‘Explosion’, ‘Play With Guns’, ‘Did We Miss The Morning’ and an acoustic version of ‘Give Me Something’ that bookends the EP.

Be There
Seafret Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It feels like I'm drowning and I don't want to come up for air
I lost everything, I threw myself in and you took me where no one was there
Well you can take what you need, take the air that I breathe and I'll give away all that I own
Whatever I lose, is put back by you in a way that you'll never know
'Cause I can't be without you
I'll be there if you're ever alone
Together, we can grow old
I can't leave you
I can't leave you, no
There's no air around me, when we get this close but there's no where I want to go
You keep it a secret if you feel the same and leave me dying to know
'Cause I can't be without you
I'll be there when you need me most
I'll be there if you're ever alone
Together, we can grow old
I can't leave you
I can't leave you
You're my way out
You're my way through
And I can't, I can't
Be without you
You're my way out
You're my way through
And I can't
Be without you
So be there when I need you most
Be there, whenever I'm alone
Together, will we grow old
I can't leave you
I can't leave you
I'll be there when you need me most
I'll be there if you're ever alone
Together, we can grow old
I can't leave you
I can't leave you, no
