    This song is a masterpiece. I don't usually listen to a sad song over and over again, but its beauty makes the sadness bearable. And the bitterness almost sweet. My father passed away a few days ago ; I'm 35 ; to me, On The Sea may be the song that captures the most powerfully the essence of remembering things we've lost and will never get back, AND at the same time, loving the feeling of the sun on our skin way too much to give up the fight.

    Lyrics
    Out on the sea we'd be forgiven
    Our bodies stopped the spirit leaving
    Wouldn't you like to know how far you've got left to go
    Somebody's child
    Nobody made you
    It's not what you stole, it's what they gave you
    In or out, you go
    In your silence, your soul
    Would you rather go unwilling?
    The heart is full and now it's spilling
    Barreling down the steps
    Only a moment left
    In hind of sight no peace of mind
    Where you begin and I'm defined
    Daughter of unconscious fate
    Time will tell, in spite of me
    In hind of sight no peace of mind
    Where it begins and we'll be fine
    Shadows bend and suddenly
    The world becomes
    And swallows me in, me in
    Whistle to a friend
    Gentle 'til the end
    Any way in a name
    She takes shape just the same

    Sometimes you happen upon a song that is so beautiful and special to you that you can't put it into words. That song would be this. I don't understand how this isn't one of the great albums/songs ever written. Absolutely fantastic. So beautiful it hurts. It's as if you looked the sun right in the face. Makes you a bit woozy but you don't care because you just got a huge dose of beautiful energy right in your eyes in a short period of time. Wonderful song. Wonderful album.

Obviously not always but for an ignorant person I’d say it’s the basis of criticism for older people. So let this person enjoy something beautiful without leaving some sarcastically vague nonsense.

    This song is heartbreaking and therapeutic. It made me reflect on the last time I saw my aunt before she died. I'll never forget because it was four days before Christmas. She had fallen prior and had gone in for a routine check up and they discovered that she had cancer. She hid this from us as it spread through her body. Despite being on her deathbed she was in good spirits and she was glowing like an angel. She smiled as hugged and kissed all of her family and friends for what would be the last time and she was at peace. I am incredibly grateful for the time we shared together. Rest in paradise auntie. 💗

The pain is unbearable but at least I know their pain is over and they can fly free. That's what this song exemplifies to me. Pain is necessary for the human soul, because after it's over there's a brighter light in the sky.

    Out on the sea we’d be forgiven
    Our bodies stopped the spirit living
    Wouldn’t you like to know how far you’ve got left to go
    Somebody’s child nobody made you
    It’s not what you stole it's what they gave you
    In or out you go
    In your silence your soul
    Would you rather go unwilling
    Your heart is full and now it's spilling
    Barreling down the steps
    Only a moment left
    In hind of sight no peace of mind
    Where you begin and I’m defined
    Daughter of unconscious fate
    Time will tell in spite of me
    In hind of sight no peace of mind
    Where it begins and we're defined
    Shadows bend and suddenly
    The world becomes and swallows me in
    Whistle to a friend gentle till the end
    Anyway in a name she takes shape just the same
