This lens is dedicated to one of my favorite tracks out there today. It's not a new song, but I keep coming back to it time and time again on my iTunes playlists.

Hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

Ocean Breathes Salty Lyrics

Your body may be gone, I'm going to carry you in
In my head, in my heart, in my soul
And maybe we'll get lucky and we'll both live again
Well, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know
Don't think so
Well, that is that and this is this
You tell me what you want and I'll tell you what you get
You get away from me
You get away from me
Collected my belongings and I left the jail
Well, thanks for the time, I needed to think a spell
I don't think a while
I had to think a while
The ocean breathes salty, wont you carry it in?
In you head, in your mouth, in your soul
And maybe we'll get lucky and we'll both grow old
Well, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know
I hope so
Well, that is that and this is this
You tell me what you want and I'll tell you want you get
You get away from me
You get away from me
Collected my belongings and I left the jail
Well, thanks for the time, I needed to think a spell
I had to think a while
I had to think a while
Well, that is this and this is this
Will you tell me what you saw and I'll tell you what you missed
When the ocean met the sky
You missed when Time and Life shook hands and said goodbye
(You missed) When the earth folded in on itself
(You missed) And said "Good luck
For your sake I hope heaven and hell
(You missed) Are really there, but I wouldn't hold my breath"
(You missed) You wasted life, why wouldn't you waste death?
(You missed) You wasted life, when wouldn't you waste death?
The ocean breathes salty, wont you carry it in?
In your head, in your mouth, in your soul
The more we move ahead the more we're stuck in rewind
Well, I don't mind, I don't mind, how the hell could I mind?
Well, that is that and this is this
You tell me what you want and I'll tell you what you get
You get away from me
You get away from me
Well, that is that and this is this
Will you tell me what you saw and I'll tell you what you missed
When the ocean met the sky
You wasted life, why wouldn't you waste the afterlife?

Lemme Get an Encore: Modest Mouse
It's hard to know what to expect from a Modest Mouse concert. In the past, their live performances have ranged from so stoic that the band never acknowledges the audience, to so frantic that frontman Isaac Brock drunkenly cuts himself onstage.

REVIEW: Lobsterfest 2012, Day Two (Casa Cantina)
Vocalist Stephen Pence has a voice that resembles Modest Mouse's frontman Isaac Brock's, and it is pretty safe to say that the band draws some inspiration from Modest Mouse's earlier work. Lobsterfest draws to a close today with an enormous all-day ...
