Grouper - Heavy water / I'd rather be sleeping

This feeling doesnt go away
I feel it moving through me
I want a love I had inside
Want to feel it moving through me

In dreams I'm moving through heavy water the love is enormous its lifting me up
I'd rather be sleeping I'd rather fall in to tidal waves and go where the deepest currents go.

I opened a mirror up and saw a true love
I let it separate in two the water rising up over my head

In dreams I'm moving through heavy water the love is enormous its lifting me up
I'd rather be sleeping I'd rather fall in to tidal waves and go where the deepest currents go.

^Have this playing on a loop. It's all you need.

Also heartedly support the suggestion of Bobby Darrin's "Above the Sea". Perfect sea cruise music imho.

Songs about bodies of water ... (Started by peepee in August 2009)

haha

Fleetwood Mac: 'Sara'
Guys and Dolls Soundtrack: 'Sit Down, You're Rocking The Boat'
Smoke City: 'Underwater Love'
Justin Timberlake: 'Cry Me A River'
Robert Johnson, Led Zeppelin, etc: 'Travelling Riverside Blues'

and a couple I always associate with boats, but which on close inspection appear shipless:
Led Zeppelin: 'Immigrant Song'
KLF: 'America: What Time Is Love'
Duran Duran: 'Rio'

The Fugs - Wide Wide River.

I assure you, people will love it.

Nick Drake - River Man

Celine Dion - My Heart Will Go On

Groove Armada's "At the River" is still a good lazy jam despite its creators being huge cocks.

"Possum Kingdom", Toadies

I have songs.

Grouper - Heavy water / I'd rather be sleeping

I feel it moving through me
I want a love I had inside

Surprised that (British) Sea Power never came up:

Fear of Drowning
Salty Water
Heavenly Waters

... and too many others to go on about, honestly. Their soundtrack for "From the Sea to the Land Beyond" is lovely.

all the love for British Sea Power (in combination with Disco Elysium OST (game).
it is really hard to get 'Whirling in Rags' out of my head.

...which is a good sign.
