Oceans

Hold on to the thread
The currents will shift
Glide me towards you know something's left
And we're all allowed to dream of the next
Of the next time we touch
You don't have to stray
Though oceans away
Waves roll in my thoughts
Hold tight the ring
The sea will rise
Please stand by the shore
Oh, I will be, I will be there once more

An incredible love song from one of history's
greatest bands, on one of history's greatest albums.
Ten changed me the very first time I heard it.
It literally changed me, my chemistry, how I look
at the world, how I love it, how I love people,
how I look upon my life and the tragedies and victories therein.
How many other albums have done that?
One? Two?
Eddie Vedder is from San Diego,
a city near and dear to my heart.
In this song the group captures so much of the essence
of the place; I almost didn't have to watch
the video to know what was in it.
When I finally did see it for the first time,
it was a simple confirmation
of what I already knew about it.
It was almost anticlimactic.
This is a love song, yes.
But it is also a challenge.
The sea will rise.
Hold tight the ring.
Let's dream of the next.
