Story Behind The Song

Beach Maniac© was written by father and son Bill and Ryan Hurley while on vacation in Fort Myers Beach, Florida. Most of the song was written on the airplane heading to Florida. Watch the music video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mH7BgaE-dEs

Song Description

Beach Maniac captures that tropical feel and is sung from the perspective of a dreamer who comes to a revelation while "Shoveling Snow in the Cold Northern Blow" that his life is "Cloudy and Trite." Seeing a jet flying overhead, he visualizes himself "Grabbing a Ride in the Sky" and landing in "Paradise Space." This is the first release by the Beach Maniacs, a studio band you won't likely see on tour because they spend most of their time lounging on the beach in "A Life Filled with Naps." Why? Because, as they sing, "My Heart is at Ease With This Tropical Breeze; I'm Homeless But Living in Bliss."

Lyrics

I was shoveling snow
In the cold northern blow
When it all became so clear to me

That my life wasn't right
It was cloudy and trite
And I needed some new scenery

The skies opened up
A jet flying by
On its way to a bright warmer place

In my head I rose high
Grabbed a ride in the sky
And landed in paradise space

Now I'm a Beach Maniac
Insaniac
Soaking up the sand and the sun

I'm a Beach Maniac
No-brainiac
Worries disappear with the rum

I'm a Beach Maniac
Real zaniac
You can keep my ipad and phone

I'm a Beach Maniac
Burned front to back
Don't care if I ever go home

My whole life is new
The work world is through
Traded suit-ties for sandals and caps

Won't ever back
To a world dressed in black
Staying here in a life filled with naps

So don't call me back home
To that cold frosty dome
Just send money and throw me a kiss

'Cause my heart is at ease
With this tropical breeze
I'm homeless but living in bliss

'Cause I'm a Beach Maniac
Insaniac
Soaking up the sand and the sun

I'm a Beach Maniac
No-brainiac
Worries disappear with the rum

I'm a Beach Maniac
Real zaniac
You can keep my ipad and phone

I'm a Beach Maniac
Burned front to back
Don't care if I ever go home
Don't care if I ever go home
Don't care if I ever go home
