I’m loving Blue October’s “Into the Ocean”. It reminds me, by its quasi-Oriental feel, of Incubus’s “Aqueous Transmission”—perhaps why they both make aquatic references. The lyrics aren’t the most meaningful (I think) but they are surely un-lewd.
Introduced by my brother, Imran.
I want to swim away but don’t know how
Sometimes it feels just like I’m falling in the ocean
Let the waves up take me down
Let the hurricane set in motion… yeah
Let the rain of what I feel right now…come down
Let the rain come down
Listen:
Another song that’s on repeat mode is Mat Kearney’s “Nothing Left to Lose”. Mat has a voice akin to Chris Martin’s, especially when he does those falsetto parts.
Introduced by my friend, Affandy.
Come on and we’ll sing, like we were free
Push the pedal down watch the world around fly by us
Come on and we’ll try, one last time
I’m off the floor one more time to find you
And here we go there’s nothing left to choose
And here we go there’s nothing left to lose
Listen:
The last song I want to feature is The Kink’s “Waterloo Sunset”. 1967 hit. Very quaint. Try to look for the videos on YouTube.
Introduced by Virgin Radio.
Dirty old river, must you keep rolling, flowing into the night.
People so busy, make me feel dizzy, taxi lights shine so bright.
But I don’t, need no friends.
As long as I gaze on, Waterloo sunset, I am in Paradise.
