Ocean of Love (Version 1)

from one: walk with me by Simon Dwight

/

about

'Ocean of Love' originates from an idea, or rather a vision, I had whilst sat watching the Atlantic Ocean from the cliffs overlooking Ilfracombe Bay in my home county of Devon. Just along from the Valley of the Rocks.

The night was drawing in and the world was preparing for it's hibernation until dawn.

Love was ending in me.. again. A new day needed to dawn and a new way of looking at life and creating a future was necessary. This time I would hear the deeper call and try to answer it.

The lyrics flowed freely and this tune was part of what occurred within that night.

This song is hopeful, yet tinged with sadness, at a love coming to an end. It echoes the ancient belief that the Ocean is an image of a greater, deeper love. A love that is ' wide, long, deep and high' spoken of by St. Peter in his letter to the Ephesians.

This is Version 1 of the completed recording of 'Ocean', it has a central drum track. Version 3 will be released in the future, that version features panned drums and backwards guitar - the mix is entirely different.

lyrics

Ocean of Love

As you see the land end
Your eyes will be amazed
By the sight that opens before them
As they focus on the view,
And the waves, and the sand
Will unroll their majesty
Like carpet at your feet
Waiting, inviting you to come
And take a step.

You will hear the sea in your ears
As waves crash and roll
Splash and turn, ocean burn
Piercing your heart
And capturing your soul
So you will feel the ice cold
Hand of refreshing water
Echo in the cavern of your mind.

chorus
And if you will, you can walk with me
Through the memory into the future
Walking, talking, trying to understand
All the things around, that trap and bind.
And each evening end, you can return
To the place where the heart is refreshed
To the clean pure scent of the great,
The unstoppable, steadfast ocean of love.
