You used to go there so many years ago Back in the day just going against the flow Then things all got weired And you couldn’t go Miles upstream where your instincts take you Gotta get there for life to start anew We got in your way As our progress tends to do But somebody did care Wanted you to get there So they built you a pass So that you could swim free The way that it should be Steps in the water or round stepping stones Some go in shoals and some go it alone And we watch and learn As we watch you grow And somebody did care Wanted you to get there So they built you a pass So that you could swim free The way that it should be Sometimes you gotta follow where you need to go Be one with nature and believe it so I think you’ll find That even in this world where it can seem so bad Somebody will think of even the smallest shad And they can be kind And so you’ll see they care Wanting you to get there So they built you a pass So that you could be where you should be But somebody did care Wanted you to get there So they built you a pass So that you could swim free The way that it should be You used to go there so many years ago Back in the day just going against the flow You can again You can again

about

Inspired by and written for the Unlocking the Severn Project. All proceeds will be donated to the project.

Unlocking the Severn was inspired by one of Britain's rarest fish, the twaite shad, which used to migrate up the River Severn until weirs were built in the mid 19th century blocking their annual migration. The project is building six fish passes at these barriers on the River Severn and River Teme allowing the fish to migrate further upstream as they used to do. This restores 158 miles of river habitat for not only shad, but also other important fish species including salmon and eel.

Search for the song on Spotify to hear my cover version of John Denver's Farewell Andromeda (Welcome to My Morning) too..

Unlocking the Severn Projectに触発され、そのために書かれました。収益はすべてプロジェクトに寄付されます。

セバーン川のロックを解除するのは、英国で最も希少な魚の1つであるトウェイトシャッドに触発されました。トウェイトシャッドは、19世紀半ばに堰が建設され、毎年の移動が妨げられるまで、セバーン川を上っていました。このプロジェクトでは、セバーン川とテム川のこれらの障壁に6つの魚道を建設し、以前と同じように魚がさらに上流に回遊できるようにします。これにより、シャッドだけでなく、サーモンやウナギなどの他の重要な魚種の158マイルの川の生息地が復元されます。

Spotifyで曲を検索して、ジョン・デンバーのFarewell Andromeda（Welcome to My Morning）のカバーバージョンも聴いてください。
