Started working as a music writer as a side job while employed at a record shop, and for over 18 years I’ve contributed to music magazines, disc guide books, mooks, and web media. As a writer my main field is Western music, but as a listener for over 35 years, I always try to keep my curiosity alive with the motto “I like what I like.” I have experience playing in bands, where I was a bassist who handled songwriting and composition. Instruments I’ve played include bass, guitar, and piano. I began studying English in my mid-40s and continue to do so today.

From songs that straightforwardly sing about love in the present tense to those that deftly express complex romantic feelings, and even ones that reflect on past lovers—there are many types of songs that fall under the umbrella of love songs.

Seafret – Oceans

OceansSeafret

Many songs have been created that compare the sea to something else.

Among them, the one I’d like to introduce for its particularly romantic use of metaphor is “Oceans.” It’s a track released by the UK music duo Seafret.

The song portrays the emotional distance from an unrequited love as an ocean, and also sings of feelings that cannot be brought to the surface as if they lie beneath the water.

Coupled with the gentle vocals, it’s a song that will leave your chest aching when you listen.
