Lyrics:
We spotted the ocean at the head of the trail
Where are we going, so far away
And somebody told me that this is the place
Where everything's better, everything's safe
Walk on the ocean
Step on the stones
Flesh becomes water
Wood becomes bone
And half and hour later we packed up our things
We said we'd send letters and all those little things
And they knew we were lying but they smiled just the same
It seemed they'd already forgotten we'd came
#ToadTheWetSprocket #WalkOnTheOcean #Vevo

My husband died of a sudden heart attack after a plane trip for business caused a blood clot to his heart. He died the day after Thanksgiving 2018.

Just out of collage, living with my future wife the most beautiful girl I have ever seen. Bought a brand new 93 Chevy 4X4 , we would wash it in the front yard together with this CD playing, this song was our favorite track. I lost her a couple years ago to a sudden heart attack and life just came to a stop for me. She gave me a son and the best years of my life and a truck that I refuse to part with. I miss you Sandra.

@scottrussell2281 7 лет назад

It's amazing how much emotion comes flooding back when I hear music from this era. I'm 53 and heard this today in a big store while shopping and it literally stopped me dead in my tracks. My son was 3 and my daughter wasn't born yet. My life was in such staggering transition. My (now ex) wife hated me, and I was trying to grow up and be responsible after years of being a wild free spirited idiot. I was fairly recently clean and sober (and stayed that way), and it seemed world was clearer, yet I was so disillusioned. That time seems like a lifetime behind me, but despite the disillusionment of that time, I remember it with such fondness. It's hard not to wish I could go back knowing what I know now. So much life wasted I wish I could go back and live to the fullest if given another chance.

@babesphoenixaz2205 7 лет назад

Some people go their entire lives without realizing what you have at age 53. Make the best of everything you have from today forward, enjoy life but make sure everything you do has value and is meaningful so that you never look back at 53 from your 60's or 70's and feel as you did about your 20's and early 30's.

I don't know if she will remember that day the older she gets, but I know that that day with the fog rolling in and the other little boy that kept bumping into me is ingrained like granite into my memory. This song totally reminds me of it even though written many years before I knew what I wanted. I dream now that everyone's dreams come true, time is fleeting but memories forever, love.

In 1995, this song woke me on my alarm to my final day as a high school student. The song was perfect for my mood; bittersweet. I had it in my head the entire day, knowing I would never see most of these people ever again ("we said we'd send letters, and all of those little things"). Almost 30 years later and its still reminds me of that bittersweet day. I connected with some old friends from HS. Found out some were dead and I just wonder about the rest. Life is really fleeting. We can't hold on to a time or era, its gone before you know it. Thank you TTWS for one of the best memories of my life.

I grew up listening to this song but only recently did it truly become so special to me. I went to Ireland and booked a tour by myself to visit the Giant’s Causeway up in Northern Ireland. I sat near this girl on the bus from Dublin who also came alone, she was from London and I America. The lyrics almost perfectly depict our situation. Once we reached the Causeway we spotted the ocean and walked among the ancient volcanic stones together. Laughed, told stories, shared our different experiences. We hiked to the edge of the cliffs and just stood in awe. After about an hour we got back onto the bus and began the long journey home in our respective seats. We finally arrived back in Dublin and as we got off the bus we quickly bid each other farewell and wished each other luck in the rest of our lives. Later I tried to search her up on social media to no avail as I’d only gotten her first name and we took no pictures together. Now when I hear this song I think of her and how eerily it encapsulates that day. We both wrote our names on the fence at the end of the cliffs. Hope you’re doing well Maude.

This band was hardly mentioned during that time, and not many people talk about them to this day. so yeah. they're definitely underrated, because not many people realize how good this band is.

@chpoof 4 года назад

I often hear comments about how the 80's was the last decade of really good music. What so many people forget is that there was a slew of excellent music from the early 90's that somehow got lost in the craziness that was the late 90's when our lives changed forever because of this thing called the Internet. Then 9/11 really changed things forever. From about 90 to 95, I was in audio heaven because of groups like Toad the Wet Sprocket, the Gin Blossoms, 10,000 Maniacs, R.E.M., the Indigo Girls... This song is an excellent example of what treasures the early 90's gave us.

@Nui. 4 года назад

I've often had the same debate with people, about when things hypothetically 'dropped off' with regard to great pop/rock music, and I think the truth lies closer to it slowly fading off over several years. As Mozzer said back in '87.... "The ashes of pop music are all around us if we will but see them." I agree in the sense that we could already see it was beginning to turn in on itself by the mid-late 80s, and nothing much new or groundbreaking was going on as there are (obviously) only so many chord/melodic structures and interesting lyrical topics to write about before it gets stale. So, although there wasn't a lot of boundary pushing going on, I think you're dead right in suggesting that there was still some fantastic music being written throughout the early-mid 90s.... and a lot coming from U.S bands at that.

I think what I miss most is just the lost art of songwriting. The 90's brought SO many talented singer/songwriters to us. These days, radio plays the same generic formula over and over. It sells. So, they keep making the same song. How I miss hearing a song and being moved by the words. The first two Counting Crows albums blew my mind, Alanis, Tori... People with something to say. They definitely inspired me to write songs very early on. I still play the Indigo Girls first album all the time. Such smart people with incredible harmony. Blood and Fire! OOF!

remember I broke my left arm in 1991. I was 3 years old but I remember it clear as day. My grandma asked me if I could get up on a chair and reach to turn off the radio. She was an elderly woman in her late 80s and couldn’t do it. I got up on the chair, the chair tilted back and I landed on my arm with all my weight. Come to think of it, this is the song that was playing on the radio at the time of the accident. I’m 100% certain of this. I think I must have a very photogenic memory because now that I think hard about it, the sound of it sounds just like it. Like having déjà vu all over again. My god.... has time gone by so fast?. I just turned 33 this month of December and it feels like that event at age 3 doesn’t fully demostraste 30 damn years transpired.

I blamed myself for years when I had the thought to go check on my Dad because he was in the garage late at night past his bed time, but I reassured myself everything was probably fine. I found him hanging in the garage the next morning. I felt like if I was there it would have made a difference and I would still have my best friend. I don't think he knew he was my best friend. You can't undo what's done, so no use to make yourself feel miserable. Besides, your Dad would would want you to be happy--not sad. He would want you to remember the times you did have together, not the moments apart. You didn't purposely not say goodbye. But, I get it, you miss your Dad. It will take awhile. Give yourself some time.

We were both new nurses working on the same floor. We connected instantly and developed a close friendship. I must have played this song on repeat a thousand times that summer.

I went to Camelot the next day, bought the cassette tape, and blasted it in my new Ford Ranger and driving back home for XMAS in Florida to see my parents. I was only 20 years old. Such great memories of friends that have moved on. Driving through my old neighborhood and the schools I went to since I was a child. These songs are not just old songs, but old memories that I love to visit at night alone. Reminds me of my roomates in the Army, jumping out of planes, and the nostalgia of slowly growing up in the military.

My heart nearly burst when I read that you were at Fort Bragg and 82 Airborne and your age. I hadn't read your name until after I'd read that much of what you'd written. For a second, a glimmer of hope shined for me. A young man I knew back then, a lifetime ago, was at Fort Bragg and 82 Airborne. It would seem around the same time as you were. We parted ways probably 30 years ago and I've waited all this time for him to come back. He said he would. I still have his "blood wings". In my mind I think I'd like to give them back to him if nothing else, but in my heart maybe I would just keep them for what is left of my life and keep on dreaming. Brian James Anderson is his name. (No relation between us. Just a cute coincidence.) Anyway, I just thought I had to say something. I wonder if you knew Brian?

I miss though having also bands like Toad the Wet Sprocket, the Cranberries, Collective Soul, Portishead, Live, etc and those did pretty much die with the 90s as did Grunge for the most part. I have thin hopes that maybe someday once again we'll see Travis Meeks touring with a new band for Days of the New, although it is doubtful.
