Sea Legs is an alternative/indie rock band from New South Wales, Australia. Formed in 2011, its members are Byron Knighton vocals and guitar, Eli Milojkovic on bass and backup vocals, Tim Andrews on keyboards, guitar and vocals, and Jacob Borg on the drums.

On Nov. 9, 2018, Sea Legs released their debut single 'Head In The Sand.' The overall tone of the song has the folk-rock sound of Wilco with Beatles-esque harmonies in the chorus. The single was featured in BBC's "Introducing West Yorkshire" and created a buzz in Leeds and other parts of Europe.

In terms of sound, I can definitely detect the influences of The Beatles and the indie/folk-rock vibe. I can also hear traces of Bob Dylan and Paul McCartney's Wings, more specifically during the chorus of 'Band On The Run.'

Lyrically, the song is about being so distant that you feel as though you're truly alone, so alone that you don't notice when others are around. There's being alone in the sense that you feel like you don't have anyone, then there's being alone in the sense that you isolate yourself from everyone and hole yourself up from the outside world. You will do just about anything to pass the time as long as socializing with others isn't involved, even if it includes reading a book about something like cacti.

"I've had my head in the sand. Not to sound dramatic, but I think I might be losing it. Your problem with your head in your hands is that you can't really see what's going on around you."

The artist's mind is so focused on something else that they're not able to appreciate or recognize the world around them. They're afraid that because they've become so unattached from the rest of the world they might be losing their mind trying to figure out what's running through their head.

"You've been buying books about cacti just to try and make the hours pass by. There's a war going on in your head but don't be a hero, let me jump in and save you."

Looking at the lyrics, I would say this is from both a personal and outside looking in point of view. The artist is talking about being detached themselves as well as somebody who is a friend or significant other. It's also possible that the song is based on personal experience where the writer was either the one experiencing or the one who knew and helped someone these feelings.

What I find interesting is that there is more than one point of view. I really enjoyed this song. Normally, I'm not a fan of folk-rock, but I do like the Beatles and this song. I can relate. I know what it's like to want to sink into isolation and not have any contact with anyone. Constantly thinking and having things fly around your head that you want to figure things out yourself before you're able to talk about it with someone else. I also know what it's like to be concerned for others who are in that dark place, I recommend this band to anyone one whos a fan of music from the mid-1960s to the late 1980s.

'Head in The Sand' by Sea Legs is now available on Spotify and Apple Music.
