These guys know how to put emotion into their lyrics, Joel and Michael in their vocals and the rest of the band doing what they do best, playing their instruments with passion. Man, this band has something that's missing in the music nowadays. I love the whole album, but specially I love how powerful the lyrics and melodies are in this one.
+sam garcia Yes they are, but the band is not if that makes sense. They stated in an interview that they wanted to convey their feelings and morals etc. and not the bible, they are not spreading christianity in that sense. Their morals are christian tho so you decide for yourself how to interpret this. In short; the members (at least some) are religious, but the band is not i guess
This was the first song I heard from them. I'm a huge music fan so I listen to A LOT of music. Ranging from everything from Rap, Metal, EDM, Pop, Punk and everything in between. But this song. Damn. It just hits me really hard. I've never ever cried so much listening to any song before. It just connects so well to being so far from home and missing all your family and friends. The lyrics work so well with the tone of the music. The way these guys balance between screaming, clean vocals and the talking vocals are perfect. And to back that up, the melodic guitars and perfectly timed beats of the drums. It truly gives you a mix of awe, calm and longing. Nicely done. Thank you for this!
The amount of emotion put in every scream... I love this band, they share a unique sound and have so much meaning. You guys are really talented, keep doing what you guys do best! (:
BAAO are really so good at filling their songs with emotion. This one gets me every time. Watching my best friends graduate yesterday was amazing but really difficult since two of them passed away. The grad class of 2014 is missing some really good people.
No matter the time we spend apart, I know it’s not always easy to show it, but please believe that I carry you in my heart 😔 Always reminds me of my daughter
my cousin passed away a month ago. every time i play this song i get really depressed but at the same time it make me feel somewhat happy that my cousin isnt suffering anymore. RIP :'(
Amount to the future, drowning in a festivity of busy bodies where living a dream has you ready to vouch for the same as an equal port to leaving but not worth enough to change!
Is that every day I'm drowning in a sea Of faces that I miss so desperately With each flashing countenance A torrent of emotion, joy, and memories The people I've grown to love so deeply Throughout the years I've chosen a big family And the weight of their absence Has brought me more than once to tears I wake from sleep violently Only to witness those lives and faces Disappear slowly behind me (I'm drowning) Again I'm pulled back into deep waters Washed further away from my sisters and brothers Am I truly living a dream When the only time I spend with you is in my sleep? How am I to stay the course, to remain bold When all those my heart longs for Remain firmly anchored at home Am I truly living a dream When the only time I spend with you is in my sleep?
+Danish Mikhail I know right, I wish the entire song was like that. I'm not a fan of spoken word, so it saddens me that the beginning and the chorus are so beautiful, because the spoken word parts just kills it for me.
Emilis J I can so deny that. Both albums are phenomenal. I've pretty much had this album on solid repeat for near a month. L'exquisite doleur, this track, the poets cry for more, grace teach us what we lack, etc. So many great songs. The albums are different and this one shows a lot of growth and a different approach to their music. It's okay to prefer one album over the other, but to act like one is a better work of art is a bit silly. Both are extremely talented.

+TheWhiteWalters ggm8 thank you for explaining good person :)
sam garcia no probs, sorry if it was confusing
TheWhiteWalters ggm8 nah I got It lol
The middle clean vocals are the best, in my opinion.
Melodic Poetcore.
I miss this BAAO soooo much, came here after new album((((
Dude I'm healing alot right now and this song is fucking spot on dude
No matter the time we’ve spent apart, I know it’s not always easy to show it, but please believe that I carried you in my heart 😞
Such a beautiful song 🥲
And a beautiful band
Listening to Being As An Ocean feels like coming home, ugh, I can't wait to see them the third time in June.

Do you feel this song right now? 2021. Missing dear friends.
So much raw emotion, it's perfect.
The chorus hits so hard. The emotions I feel are unexplainable🖤🤟🏽
this album is really just blowing me away. It has exceeded all expectations i had, i really love this so so so much
The amount of emotion put in every scream... I love this band, they share a unique sound and have so much meaning. You guys are really talented, keep doing what you guys do best! (:
going through my old favorites playlist. so much nostalgia
BAAO are really so good at filling their songs with emotion. This one gets me every time. Watching my best friends graduate yesterday was amazing but really difficult since two of them passed away. The grad class of 2014 is missing some really good people.
favorite song by baao, probably fav of all time
Amazing life, amazing Love!
No matter the time we spent apart, I know it’s not always easy to show it, but please believe that I carried you in my heart 😔
What a solid song
Love the song. I just wish that the chorus repeated in the end
Someone6070 haha i think the same :3
I think the way they only play it one, made it so special
@@rittis013 its like getting blue balls but in a musical sense
This is one of my Alltime Favourites 😍
The chorus is one of the best things i have ever Heard in my life ❤️
right in the feels
No matter the time we spend apart, I know it’s not always easy to show it, but please believe that I carry you in my heart 😔
Always reminds me of my daughter
I love the whole song but seriously.....DAT ENDING!!
I have seen you in my sleep
We were laughing, crying, joking
The way it used to be
I love the intro and chorus
This entire album is just fucking incredible.
First discovered BAAO off of a video by Impericon interviewing Of Mice & Men and had this song playing in the background cx love this song ;-; 💕
haha same here
same🙌
Absolutly perfect . Keep up the amazing work. You can tell when a band loves what their doing! ♡♡♡♥
I'm in love with this album
This song and those feels though
My wife made me love this band thank you honey 🖤🌹♥️
timetowaste lol
my cousin passed away a month ago. every time i play this song i get really depressed but at the same time it make me feel somewhat happy that my cousin isnt suffering anymore. RIP :'(
Such a song that only brings me the sweetest of memories.
this song really deserves a video
I always pictured this being a live footage/ tour montage video. Mostly, because a huge part of the song is about isolation and touring.
To go any farther, we must endure further pains
Being as an Ocean are amazing live!
Really amazing job on this new album, this song is by far my favorite.. the intro is simply... wow.
Really wish they were going to Warped Tour this year.
They are..?
Stephen Kay my comment was posted a year ago. They were not going to Warped last year.
...?
DindaluLP My bad
Rip warped tour
It’s my ex boyfriends 16th anniversary of his death today I feel like this song was written for us. RIP
Am I truly living a dream, if the only time I spend with you is in my sleep?
I heard this in an Of Mice & Men interview.
Same
can i have a link?
Kati Morado I heard it in an All Time Low one.
I heard it in a CTE interview from an Impericon interview.
Bethany Francia its probably just an Impericon thing because their interview with Architects has it as well
To you my friend Jeremy.
The feels this song gives me.. This song is so perfect
This song is a fucking classic
I love it how it goes from song that you would hear at aeropostale then it shifts to song you would hear at Hot Topic
Amount to the future, drowning in a festivity of busy bodies where living a dream has you ready to vouch for the same as an equal port to leaving but not worth enough to change!
Love From SIngapore

THE SONG
Is that every day I'm drowning in a sea
Of faces that I miss so desperately
With each flashing countenance
A torrent of emotion, joy, and memories
The people I've grown to love so deeply
Throughout the years
I've chosen a big family
And the weight of their absence
Has brought me more than once to tears
I wake from sleep violently
Only to witness those lives and faces
Disappear slowly behind me
(I'm drowning)
Again I'm pulled back into deep waters
Washed further away from my sisters and brothers
Am I truly living a dream
When the only time I spend with you is in my sleep?
How am I to stay the course, to remain bold
When all those my heart longs for
Remain firmly anchored at home
Am I truly living a dream
When the only time I spend with you is in my sleep?
Nate Searcy its in the description...
Impericon brought me here

does anyone know of any songs that is similar to the part at 1:25?
+Danish Mikhail I know right, I wish the entire song was like that. I'm not a fan of spoken word, so it saddens me that the beginning and the chorus are so beautiful, because the spoken word parts just kills it for me.
Lisent to Emarosa.
they're really great but it just doesn't hit the spot
2:51 adrian!?
intro vocals resemble the killers so much
chinchillasaur I got a young the giant vibe from them at the begining
Are the vocals in the beginning the rhythm guitarist? They sound different to his other parts on the album.
It is Joel's voc
Royce Barritt Really? Sounds different to normal.
Yeah, I'm familiar with Joel's singing voice but this sounds different. I think it is him though.
Yeah :)
It's Randy marsh singing here.
You know if you keep the arrow at 125 press play at 247 and the chourus should repeat in time haha your welcome!
Does the intro remind anybody of Too Close To Touch at all?
💞
♥
🌹
Anyone else think the guitarist sounds like Patrick stump?
😭
hi 2019 people
dang Chelsea grin interview brought me here #fuckyeahh
Michael McGough should drop that guitar and this band and join The band Polyphia as their vocalist.
please see yourself to a different page , your obviously in the wrong place
Sounds like
HIM - Baby Join Me In Death
please see yourself to a different page , your obviously in the wrong place
cool song but such a waste of a solid chorus. they should have at least thrown it in at the end too or something imo
Hell yea
Could be, but not every song has to be:
Verse 1, Chorus, Verse 2,Chorus,Verse 3 or something similar.
But yeah, the chorus is wonderful.
Totally agree with you
Seriously
Solid? This chorus is one of the best things i have ever Heard in my life
the only time I spend with you is in my sleep.
начало крутое
Replay
soy la única que habla español :'v like si viste mi comentario aunque lo dudo hahaha
Si eres la unica, nadie mas habla español
no
+Peculiar Entertainment Haha si Losse y es aun mas kuul encontrar ah alguien que escucha esa canción xd
They call it poetcore *****
Only good song from the new album
I respectfully disagree.
GibsonLesPaul2000
That's ok. Dear G-d was a lot better album though, You can't deny that.
Emilis J
I can so deny that. Both albums are phenomenal. I've pretty much had this album on solid repeat for near a month. L'exquisite doleur, this track, the poets cry for more, grace teach us what we lack, etc. So many great songs.

This clean vocalist is really going to waste in this band.
This band is god tier so what are you on about?
Bro, how? It's beautiful :)
He's saying he isn't used enough
Kind of wish there was less talking.
OrangeCounty92 I think the lyrics in this song are wonderful spoken or not, though.
OrangeCounty92 Especially when that chorus is gold.
