This is pure, uncomplicated love, expressed in lyrics and sweet guitar strumming.
When I heard this song for the first time, I knew I appreciated the beauty of its simplicity, but the more I listen, the more I appreciate its incredible depth.
100 Watt Horse simply slayed the love song, with “If I Were An Ocean”. What else can I say? The song speaks for itself.
“And if I were an ocean,
I’d be warmer than a bathtub
and you might come and swim beneath my waves
and if you fell asleep inside your boat, I’d steer you safely home
And if I were forest
I would grow the tallest trees
that you might come and climb them if you please
and you could build a house in which to stay
and never go away
And if I were a cloud
I would gather all the rain and take it somewhere far, far away
you’d never have to see a rainy day, again
no
and if I were a flower, I’d be prettiest of all
that you might come and pick me from the ground
you’d look at me and place me in your ear
and I’d be happy there
Cause if I were an ocean
I’d be warmer than a bathtub and you might come and swim beneath my waves
and if you fell asleep inside your boat, I’d steer you safely home
Yes, I’d steer you safely home”
100 Watt Horse is new to me and this song was shared by my savvy music friend who heard them recently. After trying to do some digging into where they play and what is up, I found that they have a new EP that is about to be released. This recent discovery of their music is the perfect timing to discover more. YAY! So check out their facebook page if you want to be the first to hear more.
George Pettis is just a part of 100 Watt Horse and I wish I could tell you all the others, but I was weary of information digging (Santa Claus,The Easter Bunny, Pocahontas and Roger Rabbit is what I found….ha ha ha) well and this….
