about

This track celebrates the migration of the European eel and calls for the removal of all artificial barriers which keep the eels from completing their epic journey from their spawning grounds in the Sargasso Sea to the rivers of Europe. Eel populations have declined by more than 90% in the past three decades - they really need our help!

lyrics

Larvae adrift from the South
Ride the Gulf Stream waters
Northward bound
Trusting the ancient currents.
​
Glass eels greeting the coast
Follow the call upstream
As elvers they greet the river
See what their parents have seen.
​
      Smash the dam and break the barrier!
      Eels must swim from sea to source!
      As they've always done before!
​
      A spawning migration
      A river running free
      A dark stormy night
      When the silver eels seek the sea
      Like stars in the sky
      Let the journey begin!
​
      Smash the dam and break the barrier!
      Eels must swim from source to sea!
      As they've always done before!
​
Years of golden river dawns
A home for yellow eels
Rest among the roots of trees
'Til one day they dream of the sea.
​
South through a dark ocean
Like stars in the night
The eternal cycle
Spawn in a seagrass dawn.
​
       Smash the dam and break the barrier!
       Eels must swim from sea to source!
       As they've always done before!

Are ya fuckin' ready 'cos eels are! Eels are!
