about

Ocean is about that feeling of being more comfortable where you are trapped...but also just wanting to run and never stop running.

lyrics

Shadow sits high upon a leafless tree
Singing so hauntingly the song that is inside of me
I thought to join him
Protected by his cage of branches
Inside the cage
Is the only place where I feel safe

You can hurt me
You can wish for suffering
To take me under
But it won't release you

I'm sick of trying to protect you and lately
I'm come to believe that I've got to sing to keep on singing

And I want to swim across the ocean
I might not even have to come up for air
And I've been pretending I wasn't choking
Pretending that I didn't care you left me there

To call the moon...
And hide from sun
And after losing track of one
To have to choose to fight or run
To hear the sea
But miss the sigh
To climb to the clouds
But miss the dying of the night

...

And I want to swim across the ocean
I might not even have to come up for air
I've been pretending I wasn't choking
Pretending I didn't care you left him there

I've been pretending you aren't broken
Pretending I didn't know you lost yourself there

about

Sara Riley Mattson Rapid City, South Dakota

I'm a lifelong musician. The daughter of a deep-thinking poet and a harmony-obsessed choral singer. I grew up on the music my parents grew up on:.Beach Boys, Beatles, Carole King, Paul Simon, Emmylou Harris, The Everly Brothers, and The Temptations. When you mix that with my classical piano and choral training I think you can hear where my style comes from. I like things that are fun & rewarding. ... more
