Walking barefoot on the shore
Hypnotized by the ocean roaring
Thoughts of you drifting in and out
Never fails to calm me down.

I still see your eyes where light hits the water
and I've never seen a color so beautiful
So Blue... Ocean Blue

I keep moving to the steady sounds and visions of you drifting in and out
Clouds mixing in with the sand and the sea
Sounds get carried on the ocean breeze.

I still hear your voice from across the horizon
And wasn't that you walking into the shadows?

In time I'll believe it was just an illusion
In time I'll believe it was only a dream...

I still see your eyes where light hits the water
And I've never seen a color so beautiful
I still hear your voice from across the horizon
And wasn't that you walking into the shadows?

In time I'll believe it was just an illusion
In time I'll believe it was only a dream
Till then I will breathe you in from the ocean
And walk with the waves rolling under my feet.

to play this after Madrugada really is blasphemy



Just got played now after John Mellencamp, and what do you know, it really worked!

The nice thing about PSD is that you get rewarded for your own good taste. It can't be a coincidence that my high ratings are the ones most likely to pop up. Even the ones that haven't been played in the general playlist for years. Like this gem.

Sounds like Enya.  I picture clouds, feathers, pillows, soft skin, flowers, smelly soaps...

Would be kind of nice as hangover music.

I know a lot of RP folks don't seem to like the downtempo stuff, but I can't get enough, and this is one of my very favorite songs from Delerium.

I think we just heard her clone, along with the Cocteau Twins on instrumentation. But, I've liked various bits of their output before, so this ain't half bad.

Arrgghhh.... whats next Enya?
Posted 17 years ago by OompahLoompah    [ Reply ]
This is quite nice. If you have heard Ulrich Schnauss's remixes of Rachel Gosswell's "Coastline" .. it's in the same vein. A very good one at that.

Oh really? When did William Orbit become a drummer? hehe.
Posted 18 years ago by davin    [ Reply ]
No doubt about it: the groove is a complete ripoff of Trois Gymnopédies by Erik Satie. Je pense qu'ils doivent trouver un moyen de laisser tomber ces personnes musicales du fin de siecle. Merde alors! Oh la vache! Ca va pas, non?

Not my fave Delerium tune, but loverly nevertheless.

haha I thought the vocals sounded a lot like the Cocteau Twins too. I like it...but I will admit the beat seems very familiar.

The album is pretty nice, buy it.

Does anybody else hear it? I hear echoes of the Alan Parson's Projects "Time" in there. Time goes by like a river to the sea

It's not a flaw, it's just a filter on the drums at the beginning of the song. Effects like that are common in electronic music. I own the album and love it. It takes a few listens for some of the songs because the beginnings are sometimes cheesy, but that and the new Conjure One albums are my favorite to albums date. ...and I don't like Enya, go figure. I guess if you are into the genre you can hear the difference. If you're not, it probably sounds the same.
