Lyrics Out on the sea we'd be forgiven Our bodies stopped the spirit leaving Wouldn't you like to know how far you've got left to go Somebody's child Nobody made you It's not what you stole, it's what they gave you In or out, you go In your silence, your soul Would you rather go unwilling? The heart is full and now it's spilling Barreling down the steps Only a moment left In hind of sight no peace of mind Where you begin and I'm defined Daughter of unconscious fate Time will tell, in spite of me In hind of sight no peace of mind Where it begins and we'll be fine Shadows bend and suddenly The world becomes And swallows me in, me in Whistle to a friend Gentle 'til the end Any way in a name She takes shape just the same Source: Lyric find
This song is a masterpiece. I don't usually listen to a sad song over and over again, but its beauty makes the sadness bearable. And the bitterness almost sweet. My father passed away a few days ago ; I'm 35 ; to me, On The Sea may be the song that captures the most powerfully the essence of remembering things we've lost and will never get back, AND at the same time, loving the feeling of the sun on our skin way too much to give up the fight.
omg I was listening to this song at 1am and fell down a hole of thoughts like these, lol. Like this song is something else - out of this world.. it's even a waltz!!
God ive been having this recently. And its like ur nostalgic for something u never had, or never existed in. Its an intense yearning, a memory with no concrete form. This song is one of those for me too.
Sometimes you happen upon a song that is so beautiful and special to you that you can't put it into words. That song would be this. I don't understand how this isn't one of the great albums/songs ever written. Absolutely fantastic. So beautiful it hurts. It's as if you looked the sun right in the face. Makes you a bit woozy but you don't care because you just got a huge dose of beautiful energy right in your eyes in a short period of time. Wonderful song. Wonderful album.
That's so true oh my god. I love it. This song and this album just remind me a lot of memories and make me create a lote of wonderful pictures of my life. I don't know how to describe it, it's so amazing.
I might have cried like a baby for the past two hours whilst listening to this song. Hands down, the best song ever made. It's a song I'll take to the grave. True art.
i said the exact same thing about taking this song to my grave. true art. the band and this song is the best thing that i stumbled upon. i saw them at pappy & harriets this year, and it was the best concert i ever went to.
Out on the sea we’d be forgiven Our bodies stopped the spirit living Wouldn’t you like to know how far you’ve got left to go Somebody’s child nobody made you It’s not what you stole it's what they gave you In or out you go In your silence your soul Would you rather go unwilling Your heart is full and now it's spilling Barreling down the steps Only a moment left In hind of sight no peace of mind Where you begin and I’m defined Daughter of unconscious fate Time will tell in spite of me In hind of sight no peace of mind Where it begins and we're defined Shadows bend and suddenly The world becomes and swallows me in Whistle to a friend gentle till the end Anyway in a name she takes shape just the same
@@buckybeach9798 if you weren’t being completely genuine, which I honestly doubt you were, then just know it’s people like you who discourage people from just being wrapped up in a moment and enjoying themselves ….you’ll be 52 before you know it..I don’t understand what this generations deal is with older people, like I am 34 and yesterday I was 16, you definitely do not stay young forever….so to like patronize someone for listening to this or perhaps in this case the most recent generation before this one (I say this because since my early 20s I’ve listened to beach house…they’ve been around a minute) is kind of ridiculous….especially since it’s kind of a common thing for people from prior generations to not really understand or enjoy music from younger generations. Obviously not always but for an ignorant person I’d say it’s the basis of criticism for older people. So let this person enjoy something beautiful without leaving some sarcastically vague nonsense. To Tim Hopwood, I’ve felt that too, especially that last vocal solo at the end, so much impact
I first listened to this song about 2 years ago after a pretty hard break up. Now, im with this Amazing guy who cares so much for me as much as i do him, never did i think id listen to this song in a different light. Funny how music can be the same but mean something else now. ❤
I'm a musician and i've listened to a lot of music in my life, but since I discovered Beach House, almost nothing else matters now. So many good songs, it's spiritual.
If you like this song, I highly recommend Jamison Faulkner - i want to tell you something! I wrote the song about my grandfather who recently passed@@MrHPrimera
This song is heartbreaking and therapeutic. It made me reflect on the last time I saw my aunt before she died. I'll never forget because it was four days before Christmas. She had fallen prior and had gone in for a routine check up and they discovered that she had cancer. She hid this from us as it spread through her body. Despite being on her deathbed she was in good spirits and she was glowing like an angel. She smiled as hugged and kissed all of her family and friends for what would be the last time and she was at peace. I am incredibly grateful for the time we shared together. Rest in paradise auntie. 💗
I’m so sorry! I hope you feel better!❤️What may surprise you is that you are going to meet your aunt again!

Wow you guys really are the special chosen elite. Different people have different tastes in music. Besides, this is still pop music and also a pretty popular band. I love beach house's music too, but don't feel all high and mighty just because you like a band your friends don't know.
This is the most beautiful song that I’ve ever heard in my entire life. I can’t put in words how it makes me feel. All I know is that the melody is simply the greatest. The voice, the lyrics is something that makes the experience magical. Everything is perfect. Everything. Everything...

My mother (without my knowing) added this to footage of us driving away from the green hills of Scotland that she had taken. We had just said goodbye to her father the day before. She told me she heard it playing from my room and liked it, but it wasn't until she actually listened to it, that the song became strangely poignant to her; and it has greatly affected how I hear this song in a strangely beautiful way.
Skeptic Cat I want them to stay how that are. It would be a sad day when beach house becomes overrated on the radio and 13 years are dancing to it on TikTok
@@collinjames6855 What's with the gate keeping? what if they were played on the radio and used on TikTok? would that make their songs suddenly sound bad? Popular doesn't make it bad, no need to be so contrarian.
I just lost my best friend. They called me and said that they loved me one last time, before they hung up. I'm listening to this song on repeat, just bawling my eyes out. I miss them so much already. Gods, why does this world have to be so cruel.
Every positive comment on this song is beautifully said. Truly, truly one of the most moving songs I've ever heard. People have described Beach House's music as making them depressed and happy at the same time. That's very accurate but for me I can imagine that Beach House music is what is going to be played in my mind as I am dying and making that final transition to wherever.....
This song is way too overlooked by many. It's definitely one of their best songs, and their top 3 songs on the Bloom for sure, it's a true masterpiece!
I came hear looking for a Beatles song about like being at sea (octopus garden) don’t you just love it when you stumble on something so musically magical that everyone else seems to know about apart from yourself
Thank you for that comment. As a CNA it's difficult when I get attached to my residents (I'm a Pisces ♓ so it's an instant connection) I help them for a while then they pass away.... The pain is unbearable but at least I know their pain is over and they can fly free. That's what this song exemplifies to me. Pain is necessary for the human soul, because after it's over there's a brighter light in the sky. Thank you a million times over🌈

Listening to this thinking about my dog...my baby Doodle has congestive heart failure. Barreling down the steps and gentle til the end gets me every time.
I think this is my favourite song of Beach House. 'Myth' & ''Other People' from Bloom and 'Walk in the Park' & 'Used to Be' from Teen Dream are temporary faves :) Props to Beach House for making this amazing music..
@@TheFederer0808 Nothing changed. Their newer material is pretty great too, but the whole album was introduced to me in a rather turbulent time, giving the music a special connotation to me. Hard to top that. :-)
This reminds me of when I was 24 and l woke up and decided to live in San Fran, just packed up one day and left for a year. 🥰. I’m 33 living in Toronto now and in such a totally different place. It’s funny how music brings you back to a specific place in your thoughts & in your heart that you can even remember the scent in the air. 💛💚 sending everyone and everything love. ☮️
It finally hit. I escaped my abusers, I have my own place. I shopped for groceries on my own for the first time. I just put them in my fridge. It’s finally hitting me. I’m free from her. I’m free from him. I’m free from their hands and punches and licks and tugs. I’m finally free. I’m finally free. It’s 2/22/2022 and I’m finally free. I can’t believe I survived to see it. I can’t believe I actually did it. I’m so thankful. This song came on in my playlist as it finally hit me. I’m free. I’m alive. And I’m finally feeling happy. Oh my gosh. I’m so happy
Congratulations, can only imagine this life will just keep getting better. I think I am going through what you gone through this last month quite closely. I’m tripping, it’s good😅. 3/12/23
the past summer i stayed at my grandparent's house at the beach and i would take walks on the beach at night. i would listen to this song and just stare at the moon with the water washing over my feet. it was just the moon, the ocean, beach house, and i. i felt so truly happy to be alive that i started crying. thank you beach house, for making such beautiful music
This song got me through my depression when my friend had a serious stroke and brain trauma, he was never able to walk. He was left partially paralyzed, though, this song made me forget about the bad things in life... Thank you Beach House, this song is the most beautiful song to remember the good things in life.
When I first heard this on the Lotto ad on tv I thought it may have been a song from New Zealand's Shona Laing. So on some more researching I ended up here. Such a sweet song. Congrats Beach House you really got a winner here.
All the songs of Beach house are to die for. There isn't any single song that isn't worthy of keeping it in your play list and listening to it for three times a day.
Somone suggested we play this at my mother's funeral. It was the most beautiful, perfect song. That was 8 years ago (somehow). I listen once a year, every January on her anniversary, and just let it all out. I'm very grateful to have found this song when I did.

Wow, just wow. On The Sea has to rank as one of the most beautiful songs ever written, and Beach House as the most under-rated band of all time. I am so impressed I'm at a loss for words.
This song would fit perfectly during a montage in a pivotal episode of a TV show that's usually a comedy but it surprises you with a really emotional story arc in the last season.
Una de las canciones más hermosas que escuché en mi vida. Me produce una extraña sensación de querer llorar de tanta belleza. Devoción eterna a Victoria Legrand.
this song doesn’t remind me love, it reminds me that that life takes its course, and you can choose to either stay behind with your troubles or move beyond them and grow
This song. This song right here. Beach House, Alex and Victoria, I hope you realize what you’ve given to us. To me. This song in particular has comforted me and saved me more than I’d like to admit. Beach House is such a personal sound for me. “Gentle til’ the end.” Thank you.
A lot of people describe this song as sad, and I dont feel it that way. Maybe it is, but it makes me feel something so different. I dont know how to put it. I feel joy, i feel hope, Its one of the most beautiful things ive ever heard
It is sad, i always come here when i want to kill myself, i tell myself that i can cry as much as i want while i listen to the song, in the end of the song you can confuse the beat with your heartbeat, so you are still alive, and you go on. Its sad but also all the things you said
If I had a motto that encapsulated what I wanted to strive for as a human being, it would no doubt be "gentle 'til the end." Something about that line profoundly implies compassion despite mortality.
This song literally makes me wanna die, not in a bad way, but more like I'm just so at peace with myself and everything in this world, this universe that dying would almost be graceful and beautiful to this amazing song.... sorry that's the shrooms talking
this, used to be the only song in Bloom that I always skip. then about 2 years later I sudeenly understand something in this song for no reason. now this may be my most favorite in Bloom , Unbelievable
Exact same. I overlooked it at first. Returned to them a few years later only to discover this song is literally one of my favorite songs of all time. Definitely my favorite on the album and I love every song.
I love music of all genres, any language. I usually go through the comments posted, I always find people loving a song or hating it. But this is one song where all the comments are only praises. I've never seen this happen on youtube before.
WOW! So true?! Hadn’t noticed the phenomenon you pointed out that’s happening right here in the comments section bcuz BEACH HOUSE has the extraordinary ability to use their music, and talents to reach out to ppl of all ages, and in every level of society to sublimely encourage ppl in the right direction whether it’s a new beginning or healing from a sad ending by giving them a sense of wellbeing, as well as a peaceful and healthy prospective to forge ahead especially knowing there’s still a lotta good ppl left in the world who’s desires are to see others do well... ....so thank’s to each one of the Beach House musicians for using your extraordinary talents to encourage ppl, and that’s Christlike...💓 “Encourage one another.” 🎶☮️🕊
This song gives you memories that you've never had. It takes you into an adventure, it makes you feel at home. It's a very strange but at the same time beautiful feeling. It makes you feel nostalgic. Other bands make music. Beach House creates something completely different, like out of this world. This song makes you transcend from this world. It's like this song was a bug, some glitch that makes you see and feel very special things. It just doesn't fit with anything else, it's unique. This song can be the key. Maybe is the door to another reality.
The best song of Beach House's career--their greatest, most emotional moment. Victoria Legrand's soaring vocals and stunning, sublime soundscapes (Victoria Legrand's carnival organ, Alex Scally's guitar, and Joe Cueto's viola a miniature orchestra conducting a waltz for the end of the world).
Maybe its the calm and stady beat below the whole song.. maybe the keys or her voice. or all together maybe, but, to me its like being clueless, like a newborn, and get told all life secrets wile being on someone's chest, in a worm lovely hug that somehow has the taste of not being eternal. Can't hold tears every damn time i really can't find good images to express what i feel about it.
On The Sea is a beautiful piece of music, and the lyrics are comforting, & soothing to the soul, and deep like oceans, and souls, both are vast, & deep with no limits to their depth, beauty, and mysteries, altho if you delve too deep you’re likely to find grief where once there was peace....🌊💖💜💙💔🕊
Jackie, I miss you so much.Thank you for our memories. Thankfully I have music like this to keep me sane. if you come back from Spain I'll be here for you. XXX
I recently lost my mom, dad, wife, girlfriend, best friend, and dog, all on the same day. This song got me through that incredibly tough time. Beach House is the best.
