Dive
The Soft Cavalry Lyrics
Water's deep
It's not safe
To dive
Water's deep
It's not safe
To dive
The fishing lines
Get all untangled
Silently glide by
Without a care
Water's clear
No one's askin' why
Water's clear
No one's askin' why
Silver linings
And cloud formations
An act of God by the great tornado
Quietly away from us
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh
Revelations of rain and shadows
Mysteries of the great unknown
We head to the shore
Coral blue sweep
That line the oceans
Enchanted worlds hidden from the surface
If only we did take
The time to look
Water's deep
Dive
Water's deep
Dive
Dive
Dive
Dive

The band consists of Steve Clarke and Rachel Goswell.
In 2014, Steve was stuck. Divorced since 2011, the intervening three years had been, “a haze,” he admits. Since the late nineties he’d played bass and sung backing vocals in bands (both studio and live) and sessions, while also working as a tour-manager. His new assignees were reformed Home Counties faves Slowdive.

“I was hungover in the back of my van trying to work out how I was going to fit all the band’s gear into this confined space whilst I still had all of mine from the show that I’d played in London the night before,” he recalls. “The second of two sold-out shows at Hammersmith Apollo with David Brent!”
On that industrial site in Reading, Steve was introduced to Rachel. A year later, they were living together in Devon, before marrying in 2018. Rachel not only, “turned my world upside-down,” but unwittingly provided, “the catalyst,” for The Soft Cavalry. “I’d always had ideas but never felt that anything I had to say was worthy of anyone’s attention, let alone my own,” he says. “I wish that I could have done this fifteen years ago but, in reality, I simply couldn’t have. But I’m not one to overly wallow. I’d rather plough the various levels of confusion into songs.”
The Soft Cavalry became something of a conversation, even couple’s therapy. Steve, says Rachel, “is always writing, his head always full of lyrics.” Rachel, says Steve, “reins me in when I get obsessed. She’s a good editor. She says my songs can still work without sections of words, that leaving spaces is OK.”
