KT Tunstall - Silent Sea Lyrics






I was happy in my harbour
When you cut me loose
Floating on an ocean
And confused
Winds are whipping waves up
Like sky scrapers
And the harder they hit me
The less I seem to bruise

Oh when I
Find the controls
I'll go where I like
I'll know where I want to be
But maybe for now
I'll stay right here
On a silent sea
On a silent sea

    Ditto! She speaks to my soul..

    One of the best songs on her whole album

  8. M.... T....

    I LOVE this whole album

  9. i.... ....

    Most of her songs don't work for me at all, too happy-sounding, but somehow this one got me addicted. Any recommendations for artists/songs with similar mood?

    i.... ....

    iampalmmute julien baker

    i.... ....

    Do you know through the dark by kt also?

    i.... ....

    Florence +the Machine

  10. T.... C....

    Ahhh these chord progressions!!!!

  11. a.... ....

    Gosh, this is so stunning...

  12. C.... D....

    I like how the song switches time signatures, first in 5/8 in the verses then in 6/8 in the bridge, then back to 5/8. It feels like the irregular but constant waving of an ocean.

    C.... D....

    5/4 and 6/4

  13. R.... F....

    This is one of the best songs off the Eye to the Telescope album IMO.

    R.... F....

    This, Under the Weather, and Universe & U

  14. R.... F....

    This song has such a great sound.

  15. S.... H....

    I am sitting in a closet with the door shut drinking and pretending I'm you.

  16. p.... ....

    I was happy watching Dead of Summer, until they screwed Aimee, and made her out to be Lizzy Borden. Shame on the writers of that show for taking away one of my fave characters.

  17. M.... W....

    I had a dream last night of being in the sea at night time, looking for a harbour and have sang this song all day in my head since. Gives me shivers every time, one of my all time favorite songs.

  18. K.... S....

    It makes me want to travel through Europe (only if I were younger)

  19. p.... ....

    I have no regrets about buying this album. One of the all-time great mermaid songs!

    p.... ....

    the secretto life is having no regrets ....mr

  20. M.... C....

    Nearly 10 years since this album came out. People are still here, listening to this.... It's a weird feeling. I wonder if it'll ever be forgotten?

    M.... C....

    It'd be a crime to forget KT!!!

    M.... C....

    Still here 3 years later.

    M.... C....

    15 years later

  21. T.... ....

    Ladys, I'm Single.

  22. a.... g....

    I want to sing this as a lullaby to my kids when I have them :)

  23. A.... M....

    4 people have mud in their ears

    This song is perfect

  24. M.... R....

    One of those songs I heard years ago, on a sunny afternoon in some bar somewhere in the Highlands in summer 2005, and never knew who it was (and stupidly didn't ask). Thought I was destined never to find out until I heard it on heavy rotation at my hotel recently, stuck some of the lyrics into google and was surprised to find who it was. Awesome, awesome song.

  25. T.... ....

    <3 how u can hardly c the dislike bar :P

    T.... ....

    Hardly any of her songs have many dislikes ;)

  26. j.... ....

    First heard it at Panera bread

  27. a.... ....

    I love this song, it gives me the feeling of trying to find myself..

  28. C.... ....

    there are many many amazing singers, bands that i love.
    but kt tunstall has been my first, and will always remain to be my truly favorite of all time, her songs are all poetry.

  29. A.... D....

    I don't comprehend this song like a love song... I have it like a moment in lifa that you are completely exauted, sick of living the same kind of life you don't like. And suddenly you feel like doing something good, but you have no idea about how to begin.

  30. A.... D....

    "And the harder they hit me, the less I seam to bruise." I'll tattoo it on my forehead.

  31. h.... ....

    playing on repeat <3

  32. R.... ....

    My favourite song in the world, thank's KT ...

  33. O.... C....

    -Raises Hand- Guilty Of Abusing The Replay Button.

    O.... C....

    Right click the video -> loop ;)

  34. t.... ....

    Best song ever!!!

  35. m.... ....

    this is like my favorite song of hers. KT is amazing and its sad that not a lot of people know about her because she's fantastic and one of the best singers ever

  36. N.... L....

    This song will forever be my favorite of hers

  37. p.... ....

    I love this song its my fave KT song. Kt Tunstall rules. I love you KT

  38. R.... E....

    I don't see how you could ever define this as 4/4, since the whole band is playing a distinct 3/4 timing. (bass and guitar particularly clear, but vocals and drums as well)

  39. a.... L....

    I Love You KT!!! you are the best!!

  40. A.... D....

    Listen to Dolores O'Riordan if you don't ;)

  41. T.... H....

    Totally agreed!

  42. c.... ....

    I always thought that it was in 5/4, then switches to 3/4 at the chorus...but I suppose it could be 4/4 depending on how you look at it.

    I love this song...it's so calm...

    c.... ....

    For what I can hear it's a 6/8 that sometimes becomes a 5/4

    c.... ....

    You are right, its 5.4 then 3.4 at chorus,

  43. F.... E....

    Love this song
