QOTSA - I Sat By The Ocean (Live On Letterman)

[klasse]

Mindblowing. The most important rock band in the last 20 years.

[hainesbros]

The bass in this album fucking blows my mind.

[tootired]

This one is quickly becoming my favorite song from this band!!

[DasKochbuchlein]

new favourite drummer... he hits his drumkit so fucking tight and powerful and his groove on 'I appear missing' blew my mind. he´s machine

[jtucker]

Josh is really amazing, he really is a genius and his vocal range is effortless!! The whole band are such talented musicians!! They are really something special, I can see why Dave was drawn to them way back when.

[darrenb]

10 years on and this still rocks like not much else

[sbark]

Josh Homme has always put together great musicians for the many iterations of QOTSA, but this is the tightest (and coolest) yet - poised for world domination!

[medzik]

wow, its been 6 yrs already when like clockwork came out... time flies ;_;

LYRICS

I sat by the ocean
And drank a potion, baby, to erase you
Face down in the Boulevard
Yet I couldn't face you
There ain’t no use in crying
It doesn't change anything, so baby, what good does it do?
Your friends, they all sympathize
Maybe, I don’t need them to

Imagined I'd be your one and only
Instead of the lonely one
You, me and a lie
Silence is closer, we’re passing ships in the night

There’s nowhere to run away, said
"Boy, if you want love, you’ll have to go and find it with someone new
Do you know who you really are?
Are you sure it’s really you?"
Lies are a funny thing
They slip through your fingertips
Because they never happened to you
Time wounds all the heals as we fade out of view

Imagined I'd be your one and only
Instead of the lonely one
You, me and a lie
Silence is closer, we’re passing ships in the night
You, me and a lie
Silence is closer, we’re passing ships in the night
End to the night, left with nowhere to hide

Closer and closer, we’re crashing ships in the night

One of my favorites to play on bass! Love it! Great bass line and fun!

[MydirtyRat]

If I hadn't heard the acoustic version of this first, not sure I'd like it as much.

[logannewell]

I just saw them live in Fort Lauderdale about a month ago - best show I’ve ever seen

[ConservativeHippie]

Josh Homme’s passion is *outstanding* 🙏🏽💯

[cmcontracts]

I stumbled across this ., now listen to it almost every day and gets better every time .
Just quality

[stephenmark]

A great song which never got much airplay on our stations. It has quickly become one of my favorites.

[gmjunky]

As simple as it may be I love the slide guitar in this.

[Tarrrmo]

Amazing bass line.
Couple of chills experienced.

[tracevicente]

And they are all together super tight on tour in 2023! Such talent!

[salfuerte]

Musically, one of the tightest bands you'll eve hear. Josh Homme is a rock god.
