about
I wrote this song while out at sea for a week and a half on the most awe-inspiring life changing voyages I’ve ever been on. I realize that most people will never experience the depths and breadth of the ocean, which covers most of the earth’s surface, provides 80% of the world’s oxygen, and is by far the most important aspect of our planet with respect to climate and biology. It’s arguably the most fascinating and beautiful part of planet earth and has always been my first love. From surfing, to fishing, to diving, it has provided so much and been a centerpiece for me and my family’s lives. From the largest creatures to the smallest, it is constantly awe inspiring. It contains and preserves so many clues to our recent past, ancient history, and origins from a cultural, biological, and geological perspective. All of the beauty and appreciation for all that the ocean provides us can’t be wrapped up in a song, but hopefully it encourages young ones to take the first steps, get out there, and explore the deep blue.
lyrics
Deep down in the sea where the eyes can’t see,
Where the light only comes from the little plankton,
And the lantern fish come to the surface,
Where the stars reflect and you make a wish!
Deep down in the dark in the great abyss
Lurks a giant squid, an invertebrate
And in the old sea tales meets the great sperm whale
Who holds its breath and fights to the death!
In the deep blue sea,
There is life miles down.
Creatures big and small,
On the benthic wall.
In the deep blue sea
Life is happening.
As the sea mounts boil,
Davey Jones cracks a smile.
Heave, Ho, Heave, Ho, Heave, Ho, Heave Ho!
Out in the pelagic open sea
The swell rocks us gently to sleep,
And in the morn’ we rise and shine.
Sea turtles wave hi as we pass them by.
Out in the pelagic open water
There are birds that glide and some that hover,
never touch the ground and make me wonder
If they ever land upon sand
On the open sea
There are treasures you seek,
An abundance of wealth, past the
Continental shelf.
On The open sea
is where I’ll be.
If I leave no trace,
It’s cause I’m finally free…
Out in the wild open sea
There will always be new mysteries,
Like fossilized megalodon teeth,
the ghost of Edward Teach,
But you’ll have to leave the port
In order to see for yourself.
