lyrics

I was born on a good ship
Loose lips sink flagships
Left alone and the sea is calm
High tide and no storms

They tell me that the river’s too deep
And it’s much too wide
You can’t get across to the other side

I got a lover way over there by the mountainside
(Hold her in my arms just a-one more time)
And I can hear her calling to me
(Just like I did before)
I can hear her calling to me
(The sea’s been sailing a good ship)
She’s calling my name

Sailing home on a good ship
(I’ve been sailing a good ship)
The sea is too cold and it’s much too wide
(Much too wide)

(Sailing home on a good ship)
High tide and no storms

I was born on a good ship
Much too wide
Loose lips sink flask hips
But it’s much too wide

Sludge, Shoegaze, Atmospheric, Heavy Metal, Alt-metal, you name it. This album has it all, and it is perfect. It came out during a rough time period of my life and others lives too. It's been the soundtrack for all of my pain. Thank you Hum tawper

everything is alive
by Slowdive

Shoegaze ist die Kunst des Dröhnens, doch „Everything Is Alive“ setzt diese Elemente nur sparsam ein. Statt Hall- und Zerr-Sounds aufzutürmen, schäumt die Musik in feinen Bläschen über. https://tortue.substack.com/i/140348114/slowdive-everything-is-alive-dead-oceans Daniel Welsch
