Hi everyone,

After some 'heavy'songs I thought it is time for a summer song, on an island, a sax and a steelband and me with a Cuba Libre. what more do you want? Oh yes, a song!
Here it is: The Ocean, https://soundcloud.com/user-296497130/the-ocean

The lyrics are just what they are. No hidden layers or something like that. The first version was from 2017, but this one has changed a bit.
I hope you like it, but please tell me if and what can be done better.

Hans

The ocean    
(c) HwBerkhout, feb 2017/ may 2022

Verse 1
I came looking for my brother
Always drinking in his favourite pub
Must bring him home soon
before he ends up in a tub

Verse 2
But there was that lovely lady
laughing friendly to me
So I forgot my brother
When she came sitting next to me

Chorus 1
So we went to the ocean, yeah
She came along with me!
We took the car of my brother, yooh
He did not disagree

Sub chorus
We took a ride to the ocean
And we dived into the sea

Verse 3
I told her, she would love it,
If we first go for a swim
Then dry-up in the sunshine
For us that's where we begin

Chorus 1 + 2:
It felt like a party, yeah
The waves weren't so rough
We drank Cuba Libre, yooh
Now I'm deeply in love

Bridge
Oh, what happened to me?
I woke up with a shock,
in that pub, in my bar chair...
She stared at me with a grin
And I? I started to stu-stu-stutter
But then she said: "care for a swim"?
