Product Description

"Wading in the Velvet Sea was among the first of the songs subsequently released on The Story of the Ghost to surface during the summer of 1997. In stark contrast to the funk sound which proliferated that year, Wading is an introspective anthemic tear-jerker in the style of Slave to the Traffic Light. The song swirls out of a half-speed Nitrous Oxide siren into a delicate piano melody, which gradually swells to an oceanic crescendo of soulful guitar licks.

Lyrically, the song carries the tone of a letter to a lost love, a message of hope for a brighter future. An account of a moment shared during a solitary trip to the coast. A moment which simultaneously captured the joy and sorrow of the past forgotten and the future lost. The title phrase, repeated incessantly throughout the soaring elegy to enduring emotion, captures the spirit of the waves. Cascading over and over against the edge of the earth; time leaks out, life leaks in, the moment ends.
