Music Discovery: Edge of the Ocean

Title: Edge of the Ocean

Artist: Ivy

Album: Long Distance

I fell in love with this song the very first time I heard it on Grey’s Anatomy Season 1, but never looked it up until recently. And I was much rewarded by one of the most beautiful songs I possess. Edge of the Ocean is a soulful, dreamy, melancholy Lo-Fi treat. Though I first heard it on Grey’s Anatomy, I kept thinking that it surely should have been used as a song in an episode of Lost, in one of the montages, as the lyrics fit it perfectly. I can listen to it again and again, and not get tired of it.

There’s a place I dream about
Where the sun never goes out.
And the sky is deep and blue.
Won’t you take me there with you.

Ohhh, we can begin again.
Shed our skin, let the sun shine in.
At the edge of the ocean
We can start over again.

There’s a world I’ve always known
Somewhere far away from home.
When I close my eyes I see
All the space and mystery.

Ohhh, we can begin again.
Shed our skin, let the sun shine in.
At the edge of the ocean
We can start over again.

I’m A Believer

Love. Amour. Pyaar. Ai. No matter what language, what culture, the L word dominates our thinking, our lives, the media. Finding (and keeping) love, is the universal theme that connects humankind.

It might be partly the fault of media, that we have been absorbed into the myth of “love”. It begins with fairytales as a kid, when the Prince falls in love with the beautiful princess, and they live happily ever after. Then the movies, songs, which all seem to speak of this. Love has a powerful grip on the human imagination and consciousness, to the point where we almost seem obsessed with it.
