"Little Richie"
(How can we know Love when we were never shown it?)
Little Richie was the runt of the litter, given a thick hide by father and brothers. Identified more with his sisters and mother, always felt a bit different from the others. A loving marriage from the outside, but oh, how ferociously he'd hit her. Richie stood by the bleach white bedside. Ma held his face in her hands while he cried:
"Hush, now, precious lamb, everything will be alright. I know how it looks but I swear he's a good man. Oh baby, G-d has a much bigger plan. I have my family, I have my health, and I'm quite content with that."
"How can you say this time that it'll be alright? How can you still look in his eyes and see the love of your life?"
(He works all things for good! In the end, it's Love that wins!) Love was his inclination. Belief, his dearest passion. A beautiful escape from resentment, fear of the next crushing blow. (How can we know Love when were never shown it?) He'd wait on his lonesome for that blue hair in her station wagon. Attending those Baptist services alone, in the house of the Lord, he found purpose and a home. Richie stood on a chair, peeked over the pulpit, reminded himself and the beloved, not lacking in youthful wit:
"This is what's promised: He works all things for good! In the end, it's Love that wins!"
How are we to know how to Love when every attempt is met with the back of a hand? It would only be Love to mend the damned, who never grew to know compassion. Just another unfortunate, beaten sense-less by his ol' man.
"How can you say this time that it'll be alright? How can you still look in his eyes and see the love of your life? (He works all things for good! In the end, it's Love that wins!) An heirloom passed down before its day, legacy came violently to rip innocence away. - Hudba
I love how BAAO isn't afraid to try new sounds. They will forever be my favorite band.
This is great. I love the the lyrics. Can't stop singing "How can you say this time that it'll be alright? How can you still look in his eyes and see the love of your life?"
"It would only be Love to mend the damned,
Who never grew to know compassion."
I'm gonna get a tattoo that says that on my right arm. This song is fucking awesome. So many feels.
Oh my god. I can't wait for the rest of this album. This is so beautiful.
MusicControlsMyLife1 omg youre everyhwere haha
+Jay I guess music really does control her life haha
Heck yes! Good structure! Great lyrics! Such a good vibe! I'll see y'all at Warped Orlando!
Tyler Savino see you there too!
Queso con panocha 😏
Tyler Savino yo i was there too
khe? :v
Sounds fresh! liking the new sound!
It seems like they'll be taking a different approach to their style with each album. That gets me hyped af. This album will kill
This album represents a whole other level of song writing and production that you have come to anticipate from BAAO albums, but then it still boggles your mind how they just keep making great music!
Being As An Ocean's lyrics are simply astonishing. They always make me go on an inner journey. Can't wait until June. I like their new vocal style and new sounds btw.
God, it's perfect.
I love this, a new sound Being As An Ocean is using. I meant Joel in September and he was so sweet and humble. Can't wait for the new album and to see these guys at Warped Tour!
Listening to this song it brought me to tears. This is exactly why BAAO is my favorite band. I have never felt so connected with lyrics. Can't wait for the ablum!
being as an ocean are honestly my favorite band, they're music is so beautiful and meaningful. i love them so much.
Can't stop listening to it !
Listening to their songs gets me high.
They have this tune thats so melodic yet hardcore, you just tend to float in each lines of their song every verse, every word, ever strum, and become a being as an ocean.
IN LOVE WHIT EVERY SINGLE SONG OF BAAO.... Just my favourite band 💜💜💜
I have no comment on how amazing this is.
Being As An Ocean is one of those bands that puts out music that takes about 15 listens to really let it sink in and start enjoying.
Like I said on Facebook I'll say here , you guys and dance gavin dance will forever be my cherished bands , I love how each album you release focuses on a different element of the band , even if it's not intentional , 1st album = amazingly unique hardcore guitar. 2nd= beautiful spoken word and lovely ambience , now this , jazzy af and it seems more based on your vocals .. Amazing
Album came out this morning and I can't stop listening. Awesome stuff guys! It's like they combine my 3 favorite genres of music and make it work. Outstanding.
I love how their lyrics and sound give me chills all the time! haha so good!!
A friend just recommended these guys to me today and in just a few hours I've played almost all of their songs on repeat and really felt so emotional through the whole thing. The lyrics are all amazing and thought provoking and I love it. That's a rare quality these days. I'm very excited to hear more from them.
Love the song, the structure, the lyrics, and the production.

Even if being as an ocean is not my usual genre I really really love the writing, it's impressive how good their lyrics are. I'm kind of trying to widen my musical tastes and it's impossible not to see how good and passionate these guys are. Do you have other similar groups that you think I should check out?

Hunter Evans "Being As An Ocean isn't a "Christian" band, it's just a band. We are Christian guys who love doing what we do and I write lyrics that talk about and sometimes to G-d because I am passionate about G-d and my own personal beliefs. We, as people, have never been huge fans of religion either. It was never about religion in the first place. Religion is man-made, G-d is Love." -Joel, BAAO
💞💞💞💞!!!
