Water

by @blakewilliams

Liner Notes

First go this season. Went for a vibey play on the idea of someone being as essential (yet threatening) as water.

Lyrics

You be the water
I’m dipping my toe in
I’ll be the harbor
I’ll end where you begin

You’re pulling me harder
To shed this earthly skin
I’ll be the martyr
If only for one swim

You be the water
I’m floating when you’re near
I’ll paddle harder
To get where you can hear

I can’t see the bottom
But still I have no fear
I can’t see the bottom
Is there a bottom?

Love that ‘I’ll be the harbour/I’ll end where you begin’ couplet. Nice! Production is awesome, love your guitar tones - dripping with reverb in a highly appropriate way. Almost has a Bond theme languor to it. Brilliant vocal too 👏

I like the Water metaphor and the way you maintain the lyrical theme throughout. The music feels rich and satisfying…like a piece of fine chocolate!

The drums are tight. Vocals soulful. Guitar parts very tasteful. I like the bass tone. I'm now following. You should do air, fire, and earth!

Lush vibe here. Especially loving the light touch on drums, and the atmospherics of the keys. "Is there a bottom?" is a great close. Well sung, too (as always).

Amazing song. I want to buy your album and listen to the whole thing in one go on a road trip through the desert.

Wow, this thing makes such a strong statement. The sound pulls you in, paints some vivid images. You have some especially good lines in here too. I think my favorite line is "I'll be the harbor / I'll end where you begin."

Guitars are definitely making this feel ethereal and lonely. Great sound and performance all around. Works really well, love the metaphors.

The music feels desert-y to me, yet its about a (potentially) bottomless body of water. Either way, the total package conveys unexplored terrain.

Beautiful guitar tones on this. The feel of water is there throughout. The whole thing feels like waves lapping on the shore.

Nice sounds. Drums right off. Pull u in. Silky guitars and synths. Those high notes in the background. Yes. Lush. Super groovy. Great tune. Love it.
