Composition
Musically, "Pure Shores" is an electronic pop song, which is set in an ambient style. According to Musicnotes.com, which was published by Hal Leonard Corporation, the song is in the key Db Major. Lyrically, the song talks about being in a relaxing place and a place one can call their own, as it says in the lyrics "Take me somewhere I can breathe, I've got so much to see, This is where I want to be, In a place I can call mine."
Cameron Adams from Herald Sun classified it as "futuristic dream-pop". NME compared the song to Madonna's album Ray of Light, saying " is an inane enough confection of bleeps and fieldmouse rhythms which sounds so close to Madonna that it's almost indistinguishable." New Zealand Herald described the song's composition as "high-lustre" and a "dreampop single". Nigel Packer from BBC Music had said the song used "its deep sea bass and dolphin splash keyboards " The song was described saying "Opening with producer William Orbit's faraway beeps and summery guitar which create a blistering waterfront atmosphere." The song has also been a subject for being a symbolism to water. It was said; "In the splendid 'Pure Shores', self-realization is compared to emerging from water. The places Lewis visited before were harsh and grueling (desert), messy and dirty (the moor), and unwelcoming and manipulative (the door.) The ocean is inviting and individual in its beauty." The Herald Sun described the song as "relaxing". On June 24, 2012, the song's producer William Orbit released the instrumental version of the song on the internet.

Famous quotes containing the word composition:
“When I think of God, when I think of him as existent, and when I believe him to be existent, my idea of him neither increases nor diminishes. But as it is certain there is a great difference betwixt the simple conception of the existence of an object, and the belief of it, and as this difference lies not in the parts or composition of the idea which we conceive; it follows, that it must lie in the manner in which we conceive it.”
—David Hume (1711–1776)
“Boswell, when he speaks of his Life of Johnson, calls it my magnum opus, but it may more properly be called his opera, for it is truly a composition founded on a true story, in which there is a hero with a number of subordinate characters, and an alternate succession of recitative and airs of various tone and effect, all however in delightful animation.”
—James Boswell (1740–1795)
“I live in the angle of a leaden wall, into whose composition was poured a little alloy of bell-metal. Often, in the repose of my mid-day, there reaches my ears a confused tintinnabulum from without. It is the noise of my contemporaries.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
