Скачать или смотреть Sam Sachs - The Great Irony (Beach Version)

For my last night on Cape Cod, I decided to go to the beach and play a song I wrote a few months ago about the ocean. It seemed... fitting.

If you can't figure out why it's ironic, basically imagine dying of thirst while in the middle of the ocean.

I also apologize for the mistakes. All part of live performance?

Yes, there's sand in my keyboard now.

Lyrics:

Why do we
Watch the sea
Rise up from the ground,
Only to
Crash down?

In between
I can see
The machinery abound
Come to me
Gather round

The great irony of life is the ocean
The great messenger of strife and motion

I asked her please
To comfort me
And all I got
All I received
Was a guarantee
Of misery

We’ve felt rain fall from clouds, we’re ready
The fight has come upon us now, we’re angry

I begged her please
To harbor me
But no relief
She’d not concede
Oh will you cease
Our suffering

I don’t believe
Reality
It crumbles at the seams
Fills with leaks
Drowning me

It rises slowly
I can’t let go
It’s hard to forget everything I know
800 million
And yet it flows
