Devin Townsend - Seventh Wave

The opening track from his album Ocean Machine: Biomech.

Copyright goes to HevyDevy Records, I do not own the material in the video

[spoken]
"O earth, what changes hast thou seen!
There where the long street roars, hath been
The stillness of the central sea.
The hills are shadows, and they flow
From form to form, and nothing stands;
Like clouds they shape themselves and go.
[/spoken]

Running away, running away
Running away forever
It was her only chance of finding home
Running away, running away
Running away together...
With only thoughts of finding home

I'll wait for the ocean to rise up
And meet me as it rose up before
(I'll know the time)
I'll wait for the ocean to rise up
And greet me as it rose up before
(I'll know the year)

Because you're never alone
...Even when you're alone
You're never alone...
Watch the seventh wave

Running away, running away
Running into the weather
With only thoughts of finding home
Running away, running away
Running away forever
I realize I'm on my own

On my way pass it on
On my way pass it on

I'll wait for the ocean to rise up
And meet me as it rose up before
(I'll know the time)
I'll wait for the ocean to rise up
And greet me as it rose up before

We're never alone
Even when you're alone
We're never alone... watch the ocean

4 people disliked this video.

I can think of no conclusions I can draw from this regarding their character or taste, and can only hope that they have since found a video more to their liking.

You can not die without having heard Devin Townsend.......... IMO the biggest genius in contemporary music. Unfortunately, many people will never hear him. You know..... DT's music is not (irony) as good as rap, pop, techno ......(Any rapper or Justin Bieber in this world have far more views than this) So guys...feel lucky for having the chance to appreciate this man...

I love all of Devin's albums (excluding the ambient ones), but I still think he's never topped Ocean Machine. Nothing beats it for pure emotion and atmosphere.

I wish I could join the Devin Townsend project. Biggest inspiration for me lately when it comes to music. So damn refreshing

The beginning sounds like someone talking about the end of dayz and the album cover looks like a spaceship coming out of the water...is devin tryin to tell/show us something?

[screechweasel]

@LightningRider97 Yes but a large part of the song can be played in drop c. You're definitely correct, but when you're playing power chords the CGC is all that really matters.

Beethoven had reason to be pissed off, Devin did not! Devin has had a pretty easy life if you ask me. I compare him more to Handel who was a major influence on Beethoven.
