SotD - Colin Clyne
latest single from award winning
Scottish singer songwriter Colin
Clyne is out today. Have a listen...
Press Release
Aberdeen based Alt-Folk singer-songwriter Colin Clyne has a remarkable way of cutting straight
through to the heart of his listeners’ emotions. With a passion for songwriting, Clyne's story-like
lyrics and original melodies expose a truly sensitive artist whose unique vocals have the power to
provoke a profound response.
When asked about the story behind the new single Clyne said “...I’ve spent many years working on
boats. Where The Ships Go To Die was born from such a trip, where I happened across scores of
boats and vessels lying on beaches. Holes in their hulls, diesel spewing from their tanks, battered,
broken and abandoned. These ships had no future, no hope, devoid of the safety, strength,
buoyancy, independence and serenity we associate with ships. Friendship, family and love are also a
haven for the heart. If we don’t care for them, maintain them and respect them through the storms
of fragility of these unprecedented times they too may end up dead and abandoned on a beach like
those ships…”
