The music from Being As An Ocean is like therapy. First, it makes me cry. In fact, it makes me cry a lot. And then... one day when completely unexpected, it makes me smile.. like a feeling of bittersweet liberation. Thank you.
Not quite imo, this stuff is nice but nowhere near as emotionally driving or lyrically strong as Salute e Vita or Death's Great Black Wing... Definitely a different sound though so different tastes different people I guess
Pink & Red, Black & Blue Floating through the darkness, they seemed to Glow And fade away when morning came (OK) As though each of my problems would slip away, Dissolve Thorns, The powers that be Suddenly, I was alone, Blacktop I saw before me, a bright red light, and silently I stood Waiting for morning to come
Had the pleasure to open for them in France 🇫🇷 (Lyon) yesterday! One our favorite band, such amazing people 🔥♥️ This one has always been my favorite track! 🤘🏼
I love how the sound focuses a lot on the texture and ambiance as well as the melody. It's the kind of sound that really puts your head in the clouds but keeps you grounded at the same time
Pink and red is literally the calm before the storm that is black and blue if you think about it. Pink and red morning skies mean that there will be no storms during the day, but this song is about love gone wrong and changing, and black and blue skies are stormy skies...
Hansol tyler ross, the writer of the song mentioned in a behind the barricade podcast that there is a symbolism in the lyrics and title of this song that relates to the album art, i think thats it:)he said it isnt obvious
I love how they incorporated alan watts in this musical masterpiece. Hope they put his sound clips in more music. He was such an intelligent individual.
Have you ever heard that love is a metaphor? A metaphor for the taste of the bottom The fall to the floor I fall to the floor I remember me and you I remember what you did I remember being numb I remember feeling sick For the taste of the bottom, the fall to the floor Have you ever heard love is a metaphor for the way you failed me? And now I'm failing you (I want you to listen very, very carefully) Like the serpents tongue Like the storm that shakes me Like the hand that beats me Until I'm black and blue Like the autumn chill Like the love that failed me Let the earth remove me Black and blue Black and blue Have you ever heard that death is a metaphor? A metaphor for, "What if I'm not good enough? What if I'm not strong enough? What if I'm not kind enough for what happens next, for what happens then?" Like the serpents tongue Like the storm that shakes me Like the hand that beats me Until I'm black and blue Like the autumn chill Like the love that failed me Let the earth remove me Black and blue Black and blue Like the serpents tongue (Like the serpents tongue) Like the storm that shakes me (Like the storm that shakes me) Like the hand that beats me The hand that beats me black and blue Like the autumn chill (Like the autumn chill) Like the love Lo-ove, lo-ove Lo-o-ove Black and blue
Good morning Being as An Ocean. I need you all to know how much your music and lyrics and every single best and tone means to me. Seriously. I love y’all. Thank you for continuing to give me Hope to stay Alive.
Ths band leaves me in utter fucking AWE of how much beauty can come from a single song, let alone majority of their music. This band is deep on a whole other level, in the best of ways!! 😍🖤
I listened to this song on repeat when I'd walk to the library in AZ to fill out job applications for about 3 months.. Away from my other half.. Stuck in my own head without a working cell phone.. Sitting at rock bottom.. I appreciate the work and words placed into your new album. If not for you and two other bands I'd probably be dead right about now..
This song is just amazing and the voice of Tom incredible! I just love his voice and the text. Every time it shakes me and i get goose-pimpels every time :D I love it!!
Always heard this band's name, but never checked em out... Its really really good!!! Very post rock/La Dispute feel in the verses, guy is a very diverse singer!!!
Slight changes from the leaked version and I'm glad, because I've beaten that replay button to death on the leaked one. Interesting to compare each version and the differences. But I do love this song so much, it's beautiful as fuck
Me lembro de ouvir essa canção em dias em que eu estava muito mal, era como um bálsamo, felizmente estou bem melhor agora E essa canção me lembra que as tempestades e dias ruins passam
2020.. I thought it was the quest year of my life and ever since then just wish I could go back! Even though it was drug fueled, life was good and I miss it the most of all years of my life ... Well, tbh, starting in October of 2019 til about the end of December 2020 🤷🏾♀️💔💯💖❄️🙇🏾♀️💽🎵🎧😵
This helped me get past a very vampire-like history of a relationship I had with another person. I hope they're doing well but they sucked so much life out of me. My hope dwindled to nothing for the longer time and I finally sofa enough is enough and even OK has made a huge second step to being done with this pain and thought that they hold my heart. I have full control of my perception. Let go of pain and grab on to understanding and grace
Seriously this album is gonna be an introduction to a whole new world of Being as an Ocean, the other song previews are up on iTunes and sadly though about 6 tracks are instrumentals/interludes but they sound effective. Also "The Powers That Be" which is written in reverse is LEGITIMATELY REVERSED in the audio, I can't wait for this
Why do I have the flashing image of this song being played in the background at a poetry slam? while some hipster talks about how great the organic wheat grass shots are.
It makes me happy how sad this song makes me feel.
And this from Hansol PepeHands
Yep it's a paradox alright this song goes beyond feelings and emotions hitting you so hard that your spirit spills
This song is everything that went wrong with my relationships when i look back 😯 dammn
Stay strong
Mages dont cry
The music from Being As An Ocean is like therapy. First, it makes me cry. In fact, it makes me cry a lot. And then... one day when completely unexpected, it makes me smile.. like a feeling of bittersweet liberation. Thank you.
Oh, isn't it just beyond wondrous. So relatable. So much heart, soul and emotion. I am in love with this band and their meaning
that clean vocals tho just so good
So are distorted ones!
I just discovered this band about 2 days ago and I have to say never have my ears been graced with such beauty
Don't forget to listen to Dear G-d and How We Both Wondrously Perish. That's the good stuff.
Is it me or does this band sound softer and still retain all its beauty it had in its previous albums ?
the whole album is like this :)
A treat for my ears indeed
Not quite imo, this stuff is nice but nowhere near as emotionally driving or lyrically strong as Salute e Vita or Death's Great Black Wing... Definitely a different sound though so different tastes different people I guess
SamJC Drums agreed, different people have different tastes and nice drum covers there man!! You should make some more
Yes and no but I’m a fan of breakdowns bass drops but still really enjoy this.
Have you heard that love is a metaphor, for the way you failed me , now I'm failing you. 🖤🖤🔥🔥🔥
Whoyouare Will i want you to listen very, very carefully
1:16 hmm.. i wonder why an old sankta with gun-shaped wings dashing and gunning everyone down came across my mind..
I can't feel my body and my soul just smiled, holy shit.
What a purely beautiful comment, sir.
:)
This came at the most needed time in my entire life. Thank you guys so much.
how are you today ?
are you feeling better?
There will always a way...its not just a song and some tunes ...it help.
cringe
i'll probably never get tired of this song
I have the shirt of your profile pic. Nice!
Fell in love first 13 seconds I heard this band
i've been listening to being as an ocean for four and a half years, maybe more. this is straight up one of my favourite songs.
Pink & Red, Black & Blue
Floating through the darkness, they seemed to Glow
And fade away when morning came (OK)
As though each of my problems would slip away, Dissolve
Thorns, The powers that be
Suddenly, I was alone, Blacktop
I saw before me, a bright red light, and silently I stood
Waiting for morning to come
Had the pleasure to open for them in France 🇫🇷 (Lyon) yesterday! One our favorite band, such amazing people 🔥♥️ This one has always been my favorite track! 🤘🏼

Pink and red is literally the calm before the storm that is black and blue if you think about it. Pink and red morning skies mean that there will be no storms during the day, but this song is about love gone wrong and changing, and black and blue skies are stormy skies...
Reading this with the song in the background gave me chills. Beautiful.
Hansol tyler ross, the writer of the song mentioned in a behind the barricade podcast that there is a symbolism in the lyrics and title of this song that relates to the album art, i think thats it:)he said it isnt obvious
Haven't thought about it. Nice.
Not to be “that guy”, but the saying goes “Red sky at night, sailors delight. Red sky at morning, sailors take warning.” :-)
I love how they incorporated alan watts in this musical masterpiece. Hope they put his sound clips in more music. He was such an intelligent individual.
Scott McBriar an incredible speaker as well. Do you know where i can find the speech where he says that?
Already listened to the leaked version a million times but still made my day :3 can't wait to listen the rest of the album, so close!
This album has so many parts that hit you right in the feels. 2:15 is one of them...
I cannot express the love that I feel for them and their talent.. It's impossible
Have you ever heard that love is a metaphor?
A metaphor for the taste of the bottom
The fall to the floor
I fall to the floor
I remember me and you
I remember what you did
I remember being numb
I remember feeling sick
For the taste of the bottom, the fall to the floor
Have you ever heard love is a metaphor for the way you failed me?
And now I'm failing you
(I want you to listen very, very carefully)
Like the serpents tongue
Like the storm that shakes me
Like the hand that beats me
Until I'm black and blue
Like the autumn chill
Like the love that failed me
Let the earth remove me
Black and blue
Black and blue
Have you ever heard that death is a metaphor?
A metaphor for, "What if I'm not good enough?
What if I'm not strong enough?
What if I'm not kind enough for what happens next, for what happens then?"
Like the serpents tongue
Like the storm that shakes me
Like the hand that beats me
Until I'm black and blue
Like the autumn chill
Like the love that failed me
Let the earth remove me
Black and blue
Black and blue
Like the serpents tongue (Like the serpents tongue)
Like the storm that shakes me (Like the storm that shakes me)
Like the hand that beats me
The hand that beats me black and blue
Like the autumn chill (Like the autumn chill)
Like the love
Lo-ove, lo-ove
Lo-o-ove
Black and blue
Good morning Being as An Ocean. I need you all to know how much your music and lyrics and every single best and tone means to me. Seriously. I love y’all. Thank you for continuing to give me Hope to stay Alive.
Love that Alan Watts is in one of my favorite BAAO songs.
Damn, the world needs more music like this.
Five years of this art
Ths band leaves me in utter fucking AWE of how much beauty can come from a single song, let alone majority of their music. This band is deep on a whole other level, in the best of ways!! 😍🖤
I listened to this song on repeat when I'd walk to the library in AZ to fill out job applications for about 3 months.. Away from my other half.. Stuck in my own head without a working cell phone.. Sitting at rock bottom.. I appreciate the work and words placed into your new album. If not for you and two other bands I'd probably be dead right about now..
Stay here , n listening everyday ✨💛💛
Excellent song 🎶👍 and excellent band 🎶 I like it song👍❤
Two years later and it still feels like the first time I heard this song. Stunning.
Everything you guys release is gold
B A A O
💙💙💙
what kind of song is that? that is indescribable ... unbelievable! pure emotions
Everyone always talks about Joel but the real MVP of this band is Michael's voice.
Fucking love you guys. Thank you for everything, for every moment that you are with me with your music
Very beautiful song
This song is just amazing and the voice of Tom incredible! I just love his voice and the text. Every time it shakes me and i get goose-pimpels every time :D I love it!!
the vocal synth parts in 1:49 and 3:09 are different than the leaked version
are the same, but in a better quality
CRSTN They are different. The leaked version samples a Terror Jr. song, this has the same melody but is completely different.
BAAO said themselves that there are changes compared from the leaked version and this new one.
What sound of Terror Jr?
CRSTN the song is called 3 Strikes. BAAO sped up and altered it a bit in the original version.
So so beautiful
Goosebumbs all over my skin from the first time I've heard this masterpieace. Thank you for this beautiful song.
What a fucking masterpiece, amazing stuff. Looking forward to see you guys live again soon!
This song gives me chills, hell, this band gives me chills. I never get sick of listening to the awesomeness that is Being As An Ocean
a blessing
Always heard this band's name, but never checked em out... Its really really good!!! Very post rock/La Dispute feel in the verses, guy is a very diverse singer!!!
Every time I come across this song, it's just what I need in my life. It lines up in ways I can't explain.
hands down- My favorite song from this band
Great music. Seeing them end of this month London
I fell in love with this song when you guys played it on a show earlier this year. Absolutely amazing!
Slight changes from the leaked version and I'm glad, because I've beaten that replay button to death on the leaked one. Interesting to compare each version and the differences. But I do love this song so much, it's beautiful as fuck
F4LLEND4RK same here!
I love this new direction with their sound.
One of my favorite songs of all time
I love this song
Lol nothing but love to you kuwbara
Me lembro de ouvir essa canção em dias em que eu estava muito mal, era como um bálsamo, felizmente estou bem melhor agora
E essa canção me lembra que as tempestades e dias ruins passam
Omg this is one of the best song I've ever heard, well done
Alice ,How did you find this song?
Andre Cota I don' know, I was searching for new bands
Alice ,The Novelists are kind of new,have you heard them?
Andre Cota, No, i've never heard them
Alice ,look up their song 5:12 am,then listen to The lights, The fire. Hope you like them.
That's morse code for the letters BAAO which I can only assume is an acronym for being as an ocean lol
The brain on you
My favorite song. So nice...
2020.. I thought it was the quest year of my life and ever since then just wish I could go back! Even though it was drug fueled, life was good and I miss it the most of all years of my life ... Well, tbh, starting in October of 2019 til about the end of December 2020 🤷🏾♀️💔💯💖❄️🙇🏾♀️💽🎵🎧😵
Menyala abangku 🔥
This is my favorite song.
Ima need this on Spotify asap !!!!
the sound bring peace.
Can't stop listening to this.
03:15 ese sonido tan hermoso es legítimo de ellos, o se lo copiaron se otra canción?
Means more to me now than ever. Thanks BAAO.🖤🖤🖤💯
This song makes me feel so relaxing.
Best song of 2017......
This song is really amazing.. Congratulations Being as an ocean. Cant wait new album!
Good music To unwind and relax. Almost fell asleep listening to this. Very calming. Somewhat depressing though.
This helped me get past a very vampire-like history of a relationship I had with another person. I hope they're doing well but they sucked so much life out of me. My hope dwindled to nothing for the longer time and I finally sofa enough is enough and even OK has made a huge second step to being done with this pain and thought that they hold my heart. I have full control of my perception. Let go of pain and grab on to understanding and grace
I love you guys since 2012. Song is beautiful. I hope see you in Russia one day.
Seriously this album is gonna be an introduction to a whole new world of Being as an Ocean, the other song previews are up on iTunes and sadly though about 6 tracks are instrumentals/interludes but they sound effective. Also "The Powers That Be" which is written in reverse is LEGITIMATELY REVERSED in the audio, I can't wait for this
Chad M the audio is actually reversed!!! HOLY MOTHERFUCKING SHIT THAT IS FUCKING COOOOLLLL
TBH I'm really sad that 6 of them are instrumentals, ik they were just previews but I would at least like a few lines of vocals or something
the new album is out! check their FB page for link ;)
This should be way more views, such a good song!!
This song live . . . Gave me feelings
Unofficial version please!

Oh blue🌬️🌀❄️
Omg love you guys so much ❤️was so happy listening to this song

where are they? why don't they make more song like this?
Why do I have the flashing image of this song being played in the background at a poetry slam? while some hipster talks about how great the organic wheat grass shots are.
Great song! Just heard for the first time in december 2018. It's a song that I listen everyday :)
I´m so in love with this new album!
