On That Note: If Everybody Had an Ocean

[cyclones500]

Welcome to “On That Note,” CF's weekly hub for music fanatics, hosted by @MeanDean, @CycloneRulzzz and me, cyclones500.

In this segment, we explore songs that pertain to bodies of water.

Reference may be specific (such as Mississippi River, Atlantic Ocean, Amazon) or general (lake, sea, stream, pond, et al.). We prefer tracks with a waterway as a major element of the storyline or theme, but we’ll accept isolated lyrical references (and song titles, of course).

If the reference in your example isn't immediately obvious, post the lyric(s).

• In case you missed it — Last week’s OTN: Oh Say, Can You See, My Eyes

A couple of my selections, to get things flowing:

If everybody had an ocean








River mentioned and title name is proper name of a river

“The river flows, it flows to the sea … Wherever that river goes that's where I want to be … Flow river flow, let your waters wash down"

 

[Cydar]

You run like river, on like a sea
You run like a river runs to the sea

In 1814 we took a little trip
Along with Colonel Jackson down the mighty Mississip

“Seven Chinese brothers swallowing the ocean”

(Also fits last week’s OTN -- “This mellow, sweet, short-haired boy”)

I'm a cork on the ocean...

Not until the end (staring at a lake)



..'Heaven's golden shore, we'll lay our heads'...
