I want songs about the ocean because I am so miserable living inland. Please please to upload for me?

Here, I'll start you off:

Beautiful World: Colin Hay

My my my it’s a beautiful world
I like swimming in the sea
I like to go out beyond the white breakers
Where a man can still be free (or a woman if you are one)
I like swimming in the sea.

Depapepe - over the sea (http://www.sendspace.com/file/yq38jy)

Unrelatedly, but perhaps of interest (who knows): Foolish Fingers (http://www.last.fm/music/Algia+Hyena/Foolish+Fingers) & And Other Intestinal Parasites (http://www.last.fm/music/Algia+Hyena/And+Other+Intestinal+Parasites).

I fucking adore that there is a track called Danse Danse Macabre.

You need to listen to a couple of these because there are moments you may find ... familiar.

Ah! ♥ I love that Colin Hay song. And here's one that's not all about the sea, but - so beautiful! How could I resist?

Dante's Prayer by Loreena McKennit:


Cast your eyes on the ocean
Cast your soul to the sea
When the dark night seems endless
Please remember me

Um, possibly not the happiest song ever, but I like it - The Coast is Always Changing by Maximo Park here: hxxp://www.megaupload.com/?d=FPSJTIWG

Also Edge of the Ocean by Ivy here: hxxp://www.megaupload.com/?d=7A3055TG

And The Ocean by Alela Diane here: hxxp://www.megaupload.com/?d=KGD8BW33

Enjoy.

Ocean Soul by Nightwish


Walking the tideline
I hear your name
Is angels whispering
Something so beautiful it hurts

Long hours of loneliness
Between me and the sea

(Err, yes, this one is not so cheerful maybe?)

I'll stop spamming you soon, I promise...!

Valparaiso by Sting


Chase the dog star
Over the sea
Home where my true love is waiting for me
Rope the south wind
Canvas the stars
Harness the moonlight
So she can safely go
'Round the Cape Horn to Valparaiso

NOT COMPLAINING

:D

One more, then...

Life is Like a Boat by Rie Fu

And every time I see your face
The ocean heaves up to my heart
You make me wanna strain at the oars, and soon
I can see the shore

+ full lyrics + translation of the Japanese bits

Here's one of my aaaaabsolute favorite ocean-themed songs: Into the Ocean (http://www.box.net/shared/7sh5n7tvxb) by Blue October :D

Harbour by Vienna Teng: www.mediafire.com/?nnnzzxzy3jo

Sail your sea, meet your storm
All I want is to be your harbour
The light in me will guide you home
All I want is to be your harbour

I had a massive crush on a boy who loved the sea and sailing, and this song was my theme song for a long while. Boy moved away (twice) and this song still makes me think of him and wish. But it is also a pretty sea song that I love to sing along with.

I am also missing the sea, although I am technically not that far from the Atlantic Ocean. But it is not the same as the Pacific I grew up with. It has a different flavour and feel.

That Colin Hay song is beautiful -- thank you so much.

I hope you find your way back to the coast! I, too, hated living inland and was so happy to come home.
