As an Early 90s baby, and listening to this band as a teen really made it hard for another band to match this unique sound sam has to offer

[riakun]

My coworker just introduced me to this and a few other songs, and I don't know how I managed to go 28 years without this beautiful music

Lyrics:
There is a house by the sea
Two jealous sisters, they're waiting for me
And one is laid on the floor
And one is changing the locks on the doors
And I've been buying the time on my knees
And I've been selling their blankets to bleed

Around the house by the sea
The scent of roses and raspberry leaves
And there is smoke in my clothes
Too much time with just smoke in my nose
And I've been making the meaning they lack
And I've been burning that book they come back to

There is a house by the sea
And an ocean between it and me
And like the shape of a wave
The jealous sisters will sing on my grave

And I've been living to run where they led
And I've been dying to rise from their bed
And I've been sparing my neck from their chain

And they've been changing the sound of my name
And I've been swimming to them in my sleep
And I've been dreaming our love and our freedom

[kerrythorn]

This is a song for a warm summer night, on the beach around a campfire with your friends.

[zoidbergtsar]

This is my favorite song. I keep coming back to it. There is so much depth in the lyrics and it's so we'll put together.

Left my diary in Homer Alaska in an abandoned cabin by the sea, where I wish I lived right now...<3

[SophieDulce]

This sounds very West African Influenced, the music from Mali. This is definitely African style guitar playing

[JManthegamerdude]

Silver sisters. This is no dream, it's a nightmare

[AncientCityMusic]

I don’t know why, but the beginning of this song reminds me of the beginning of the Pirates of the Caribbean ride at Disneyland, where you’re drifting through the reeds

[rileyarnason]
