    taken from the album Time 'n' Place
    pre-order the Swimming/The Open Road 7": smarturl.it/the-open-road
    I was treading on the beach
    Summer underneath my feet
    Somewhere I'd never seen
    Mama led me by the hand
    'Til the grit stuck with the damp
    And the foam fizzed adrift
    When we both strode in
    I could feel the detritus lifting
    And I moved like I knew that I was free again
    Then before thinking I ventured out
    Swimming
    Across the sea
    The current battles way down below me
    Drifting
    But holding on
    I keep my head up to watch the shore
    After many years had passed
    Hoping I would find the path
    I arrived at the start
    In the shadow of a cliff
    Memories floating in the wind
    I squared up to the tide
    On my own this time
    I could feel the detritus lifting
    While a teardrop tickled as it ran away
    But it got lost in the wash I tossed
    Swimming
    Across the sea
    I get the feeling
    I always have been
    Swimming
    Across the sea
    The current battles way down below me
    Drifting
    But holding on
    I keep my head up to watch the shore

    Kero Kero Bonito is the only band I know whose able to perfectly capture the feeling of young adulthood angst in their music in such a creative and metaphorical way. The lyric, “I get the feeling I always have been swimming” just hits me right in my chest every time. This is probably one of their best songs in my opinion. The melody and lyrics are simple, yet their is so much depth within them.

    it's 1am- you're stressed out after a long day at work + personal issues that just keep piling up. came home, showered and got dressed in a tee and sweats. you drove around the neighbourhood, ordered your favourite childhood meal from the 24-h McDonalds drive-thru and parked your car near the beach. the same spot you always went to during your high school days with your pals and your high school sweetheart. you slowly remember all the good times you've had in your life. this song plays in the background while you sit and stare into the ocean with the 4am breeze by your side. no matter how tough things get, remember to sit and breathe. there are so many things to treasure and enjoy in life. breathe, you got this.
