LYRICS

The ocean looms
As we sit beneath the dam
A swirling doom
Over all we hold in hand

A loving gaze
The younger days
A fragile haze
For walls eventually give way

Spilling onto every surface
Water of our steady breath
Chaos pooling into purpose
The meaning of our heaviness

I'll be still
Slowly we'll return to ice
As eternity fills
I'll pretend it will suffice

I'll tell myself that you can stay
That your face won't age
That I'm not afraid
Though I know the way it goes

Oh it goes...
Oh it goes...

I want to listen to you carefully and intently before I look at your finger/fret positions afterwards. Maybe one day I'll get so listenable that I'll do a cover version of this song! Have you ever considered a tutorial/cover of where I end and you begin? Nobody in my op seems to really have nailed it on yt and maybe there is a way without a capo which I don't like too much.

[warrenmusic]

@csmsmith1 Thank you for the comment on my channel, so glad you like the song. For more, check out my soundcloud. I will think about WIEAYB, that's an interesting suggestion and you're not the first as of late to request it.

[xisfreedom]

i can tell the influence of Radiohead in your music. would i be wrong to observe that

the strumming looks very similar to the intro of jigsaw falling into place.

[warrenmusic]

@xisfreedom It's similar in that it's constant picking, however the picking pattern and rhythmic emphasis is different. I take it as a compliment, though. This past year, more than others, I'd say that my playing has been especially influenced by my old bandmates.

[warrenmusic]

You guys are all too kind, I'm really blown away that you guys would like one of mine so much. I'll share a studio version of this I'm working on soon because of all this love!

[LiamLamp815]

Never stop posting videos. I LOVE THEM ALL!

[MrMaceinyoface]

I fell asleep to this song. I swear I heard symphonies accompanying this.

[samrael]

Wow. Simply wow. Not only are you an amazing teacher, have great taste in music, but also you compose beatiful stuff. Don't know why but this music really reminds me of the ocean and the moon.

Congrats

[TiJayEve]

This is really grade A song writing. I can't think of a comment strong enough to convey how much I love this song, and that's not an understatement.

[csmsmith1]

Yes, I really loved your song... I already checked you others at soundcloud too. Don't like to compare you to anybody though - unless similarities are too blatant I don't do it! Best wishes for your music. In the meantime, I did a very simple version of WIEAYB... Bm, Gbm, Em7, Em something, A.... they're simple chords but they kills my fingers with the bars... :D

[fonem82]
