about

This song was originally from another project, but never used. The song is about a son who sings to his father, who died at sea before he was born. I wanted a sea shanty feel, and the hand claps are kinda inspired by a song by Tom Waits on the "Black Rider" album.

lyrics

Set myself by the ocean
But never when waters are tame
And although I did not know you
Still I carry your name

I come here when the wild winds blow
Feel that you're closer to me
When the storm comes on the horizon
I see you caught in the wild wild sea

And they'll sing and they'll sing
Of the storm it did bring
To and end for you early I know
And I'll try to be strong
But know all along
How much I miss you so
