Thrice - Sea Change [Audio] 

Just throwing it out there, but I'd love to see them take on a film score. Can you imagine the sonic perfection?

My Dad passed away from cancer 4 years ago and this song came up on RU-vid and I balled. He loved the water and fishing. We lived on the bay of Galveston TX. I think about him every time I hear this song 💜

Thrice b-sides never disappoint.

This band makes my feels work

Dustin Kensrue, thanks for exist.

This is what TBEITBN was missing. Seems in the vein of Red Sky and Flags of Dawn in the best way. All these years, and Thrice still gives me chills.

Such a prolific band, never afraid to change direction to keep it interesting for themselves and always leave you wanting more. I've never been happier since they came back from their hiatus.

So brilliantly simple. Gorgeous. Love when Dustin does that lower husky vocal. So haunting. Reminds me of a cross of red sky and open water. Very 'water disc' .Thrice will always be the best 👌👌

underrated song by them... easily top 10 in my book.

The force is always so fucking strong with Thrice. I love you guys.

Lyrics: We scoff and roll our eyes Yeah, we've heard this all before in a different guise These shrill alarmist fears We don't deign to entertain them, covering our ears So where will we go when the waters threaten to wash us away? And all of our sons and our daughters wilt in the heat of the day? I feel the sun draw nearer, I feel the sea start to rise Who's looking back in the mirror? Why are they closing - Why are they closing their eyes? Now that heavy curtain sways And the man who stands behind tries to give his name So we ask ourselves, "Who stands to gain?" Soon our tired talking points are feeling awfully strained So where will we go when the waters threaten to wash us away? And all of our sons and our daughters wilt in the heat of the day? I feel the sun draw nearer, I feel the sea start to rise Who's looking back in the mirror? Why are they closing - Why are they closing their eyes? So where will we go when the waters threaten to wash us away? And all of our sons and our daughters wilt in the heat of the day? I feel the sun draw nearer, I feel the sea start to rise Who's looking back in the mirror? Why are they closing - Why are they closing their eyes? Why are we closing, why are we closing our eyes? Why are we closing, why are we closing our eyes? Why are we closing, why are we closing our eyes? Why are we closing, why are we closing our eyes?

Altough I've been listening to TBEITBN for a whole year now, I never knew this song existed. I'm listening to it right now for the 5th time now, and try not to fucking cry.

It has a very ocean-like atmosphere and sound by delivering the title of the song. That minimalistic repetition from 3:23 to the end is really soothing and blissful. Love it.

Love Thrice❤️

Thrice never ceases to amaze me. They're brilliant musicians

Hands down one of my favorites

Man, how does Dustin's singing voice get cooler and cooler album after album. Just turned 30 today, and it's crazy to think I first saw these fellas when I was 16 in Fort Worth. Rock on!

So glad this is going up online, and not just the Record Store Day release! Thank you!

Man... this is too beautiful. My heart feels heavy listening to this.

Hurricanes and fires all over. I’m in Oregon and smoke is all over. So relatable right now. Thank you thrice.

Sat in the ER waiting to find out the news, and I'm listening to this and watching all the sad people come in & out with their various issues. Brings tears to my eyes. Love one another!!!! I love you thrice wish this song would have been in the vinyl version I bought.

Gorgeous piece of work! Will always love Thrice!

Absolutely love this 110%

Such a bold song! I love this band, thank you Thrice! Dustin's lyrics have always challenged the beauty of complex ideas in simple or bold statements. This band continually brings humanity's good and evil to light and they do an amazing job to help alleviate and open eyes.

thrice, aka the greatest rock band

I just love this band so much. Always moving.

I just ... I have no words. To goosebumps.

Well, I know what I'll be almost instinctually hitting the 'replay' button to consistently for the next few days.

Super chill. Digging it.

This song is so serene.

Beautiful, as always.

uh.....we need an album of songs like this...make it happen!

this is perfect! thank you!

LOVE this song!

Why is this band so dam good and not insanely popular? 😆 Maybe it's the system

I love his voice so much, I wish I could sing like that. Great song!

Although I love TBEITBN, I can't get my head around how this didn't make the album. I'd go as far as saying it's my favourite track [that wasn't] on the album

This song would have fit nicely on the album between Whistleblower and Salt and Shadow.

So very good!

wow i just discovered this band and this is what i am searching for.

so effing good thank you thrice

perfect for this night

this song is so beautiful

perfection

Good song! I definitely get a bit more of his latest solo album on this song, but that was excellent, so i am happy.

These guys can do no wrong. So damn good.

Thrice! You've done it again!

Wonder why this song was not on the album...would have been one of the best of TBEITBN

I'm addicted to this song

awesome

gaaaaaawwwwwwd I loooove this band!

Increíble empecé a escuchar thrice hace poco y justo sacan una canción nueva :D

Time to see the big picture and time look up. Getting caught up in the divide and distractions won't do anybody any good "For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places."

You could slap this on the Water album and it'd fit in swell (pun)

Really cool to see how they've developed over the years

Hermoso

I hope you never stop................um period.........................................

This song is awesome. I understand why it was a b side though, has a different vibe than the rest of TBEITBN. Glad to finally be able to buy it though my local record store didn't have it!

hey before 1000 views!!! cool song btw :D

yay found a new song

Such an different song than what I would of expected. Really gentle and calming in the best way. Then the pickup towards the end. Love this song.

Reading the lyrics, seems like it has to do with global warming... but I know Dustin's lyrics can have multiple meanings.

fucking beautiful!!!

Good Stuff

❤

Fucking beautiful! I love the heavier stuff on TEIBTN, best album ever, but this is also a great Addition!

Definitely think this could've been placed on the album maybe just before salt and shadow

For me, there's a play on words here - sea change/see change. The refrain (why are they/we closing our eyes) might therefore be referring to our apprehension or ambivalence towards confronting problems that face our society (global warming) or ourselves as individuals...

I wonder where this would have gone on the album. I think the reason it ended up as a B-side is because its an album closer, much like Red Sky, but they chose Salt & Shadow because its was written with the phrase "To Be Everywhere Is To Be Nowhere" ingrained in it. Either way, phenomenal track.

I´m drinking. Viva Thrice!

first reminds me of pinback in such a good way

I swear something about the last couple seconds tells me it leads to a secret something...

Hey I'm early for once

Goosebumps along this song. AM04025122020 CAL LA time

Gorgeous. I think that TBEITBN, while fantastic, could've used more songs like this to break up the heaviness of the album overall.

So how did his vocals get raspy?

Reminds me of Bon Iver.

If Thrice and Switchfoot had a baby

Someone please direct me to a band with better lyrics. I can't find one.

it is definitely on their basic song list, but darn, don't they mandate even the simplest of songs to sound amazing?

simple chord progressions but so brilliantly addressed with instruments. Complexity within simplicity..... I still don't feel too well about whatever the hell is up with the effects on Dustin's vocals.... It feels like a pitch correction but with rasp. Maybe his vocals were compressed too much and seem inhuman..... idk. I love this song to bits, even if I slightly disagree with the meaning.

This is a great song but I can see why it became a B-Side, it's almost too reminscant of Dustin's solo work

what happened to the old thrice?

Took me an entire year to realise that this is Halo by Beyoncé. Still love it.

Not bad but I miss Dustin's older vocal style. This has more urgency to it though which was really lacking on Palms.

A lil too slick...

this shit sounds liike U2...

This is not the thrice I knew. Fucking music sucks today and so does this. Fuck computers and media.
