about

This song was written after a cold morning swim in the bitter North Sea, while missing the warm rivers back home. I was thinking about how we all have moments where things seem harder for us than others, whether that's true or not... and how often, going out into nature can have a calming effect.

lyrics

Tangled vines, uneven pines,
Forests nowhere to see...
Boulders towered over, boulders towered over,
boulders tower over me in my dreams.

Sometimes, it seems harder.
It seems harder for me.
But, sometimes, it seems harder.
It seems harder for me than for you

I wake to many a bright and clear morning
Turned to another dark and dreary day.
Rain that’s more a drizzle, coldness with no hope of sun
So I bike down to the water,
Throw my worries in,
Leave 'em to the moaning of the sea.

Sometimes, it seems harder.
It seems harder for me.
And, sometimes, it seems harder.
It seems harder for me than for you.

The ocean, deep and wide,
tells me I can’t hide all these fears in the foam.
Waves tease, lick my feet.
Only fisherman out,
while I wish I were back home.

City, sleep.
And I'll sing my thoughts to the sea.

And sometimes, it seems harder,
It seems harder for me.
But, sometimes, it seems harder
It seems harder for you than for me.

Sinking away slowly, sinking away slowly
Sinking away, sinking away
With time, thoughts slip away
