Day 23: A song that mentions a body of water (sort of)

I'm not actually sure this mentions a body of water, so maybe this is cheating, but I digress. I know, I know, Ocean is in the title, but he's referring to Ocean Avenue, not the ocean. Plus, it's not even the real name of the street, Ocean Boulevard is but this song doesn't ring the same way if it's called Ocean Boulevard. It does run along the ocean, but it's not actually referring to said ocean. Lots of talk of waves, too, but no actual mention of said body of water. It's very body of water adjacent.

But it still slaps.

Day 23: A song that mentions a body of water

River - Bishop Briggs


Shut your mouth, baby, stand and deliver
Holy hands, will they make me a sinner?
Like a river, like a river
Shut your mouth and run me like a river
Choke this love ′til the veins start to shiver
One last breath ′til the tears start to wither
Like a river, like a river

Shut your mouth and run me like a river

I don't expect anyone's going to click this, it's some northern Swedish melodic black metal.
But I like it. The lyrics are beautiful, even if most people (understandably) can't stomach growling 😅

Vintersorg - Döpt i en Jökelsjö
(Winter's Sorrow - Baptised in a Glacial Lake)

 
Day 23: A song that mentions a body of water

I have a shockingly low number of songs that mention bodies of water for some odd reason. That being said I love the older stuff by the Gorillaz.

All hail King Neptune and his water-breathers. No snail thing too quick for for his water-feeders.

Superfast Jellyfish- Gorillaz

 
Day 23: A song that mentions a body of water

I think I read years ago that the song was about the maritime shipping report. It mentions the Bay of Biscay and a couple of other bodies of water..

I think.

Blur- Tjis is A Low
