Hold on to the thread
The currents will shift
Glide me towards you
Know something’s left
And we’re all allowed
To dream of the next
Of the next time we touch
You don’t have to stray
Though oceans away
Waves roll in my thoughts
Hold tight the ring
The sea will rise
Please stand by the shore
I will be
I will be there once more
The way he uses his voice as an instrument in this song rather than to get across an actual message adds this beautifully eerie ambiance to it. Truly astounding.
Hold on to the thread
The currents will shift
Guide me towards you
Know something's left
And we're all allowed to dream
Of the next time we touch..........
You don't have to stray
The oceans away
Waves roll in my thoughts
Hold tight the ring...
The sea will rise...
Please stand by the shore...
I will be...
I will be...
There once more.........
Oceans and Black are some really underrated songs I've ever heard. You can tell they put so much meaning and thought into those songs, overall Ten was a great album.
This song always reminds me. It was October 31st in Corpus Cristi Texas. I sat on the monkey bars, dressed as a Marine Corps Werewolf. Next to me, my first love, Amanda. We plotted our trick or treat course. I brought my tape player. We sat side by side, listening to Ten. I got my first kiss to Oceans, as that south Texas sun sank into Halloween night. I can relive that day anytime. It was...perfect.
almost 30 years later....still one of the most BEAUTIFUL songs ever put to airwaves. simply stunning! the image of the 2 older gentlemen fading away into a wave is just....emotional . in a great way....we will all fade away eventually. dust to dust.
wtf? I've bean a Pearl Jam fan since their first single "Alive" was just starting to get played on the radio. How am I just seeing this video for the first time now?
