Lyrics:
I started to run along the shore
I wasn't tired yet so I ran some more
The sun was bright so I turned away,
But there was a sand castle in my way
So I ran right through, I tore it down
The sand castle's broken on the ground
The kid who built it wasn't there,
But I kept on running 'cause I thought he'd care

I started thinking, wondering why
I didn't want to see that poor kid cry
The water was cool, the breeze was blue
I was already running, might as well continue
The day was nice, it's good to share
Drinks with ice, sand in my hair
Sitting on the beach I could show you where
I started running - all the way down there

Pineapple fruits and coconuts
Little kids eating in little huts
One umbrella beside the chair
Drinks with ice, sand in my hair
The broken sand castle was still there
Kid started crying but I didn't care
Taking a break from running on the shore
So that maybe later I can run some more

Sam Bennett gave feedback to Benci for “The Beaches”:
This is cool.

Did you add another percussive guitar part behind the chords? Or did you just implement the percussive strumming in the original track?

I can't tell because the recording's really lo-fi, which isn't a bad thing at all. I think it suits your style.

This is very gloomy beach-house style and I like it a lot.

Benci  Good ear! I have a "percussive-guitar" track underneath the original track, but both tracks have rhythmic and percussive elements, more or less. Thank you very much for commenting, I really appreciate it.

M|O|O|N (Stephen Gilarde) gave feedback to Benci for “The Beaches”:
The recording is god-awful, which you must know, but the actual tune, and your voice, is pretty good. I'm sure it would sound great with a proper go in a proper studio.

If you're ever in Massachusetts, give me a shout (reddit: sicilianhotdog) and you can swing by my studio and I'll record you free.

Truly curious to hear it.

The Problem We All Live With gave feedback to Benci for “The Beaches”:
This is a nice fun song. Don't know what you are recording this through, but if you are going to record a whole album (which I hope you do, because you have the potential to and because writing music is just a great experience) you either get some nice equipment or work on your production. Really like the reverb on the lead guitar riff that comes in at the end. Looking forward to more.

Benci  Thanks a lot for the support. You're right. Good news is, I am looking into investing in a better mic and I'm thinking I'll get rid of the cheap, little guitar that I used in this recording.  (May 05, 2011, 04:14 PDT)

Bojko gave feedback to Benci for “The Beaches”:
This is good rocking shit I like it a lot good vocal and voice the guitar rhythm is solid and kind of far away and erie (which works well), the riffs are real good....this is catchy and definitely get's stuck in your head (the vocal melody)...for an early version this is really good, good stuff man
