The track is an instrumental jam around this cool bass line that served as the main foundation for the whole track. The vocals are all samples arranged in different formats to fill out the fact that I'm friggin useless at writing lyrics !!!🤨

Verse

It’s been so very long 
At this place
I got the bus
Like all those years ago
It seems so odd
There’s no one that I know
I feel a sense of longing
Of how things used to be

Verse

I remember now
There were good times
Your smile lit up the room
Melted my heart away
When I left
I promised I’d be back
I did not come, not sure why
Didn’t come, can’t think why.

(Review by Indieoclock magazine)

The talented singer and songwriter Paul Cogley has just released his powerful new album, a record full of quality and emotion.
The Silent Sea is the name of the new album by the brilliant and super talented Paul Cogley, with 8 tracks, the surprising work leaves us impacted with a dreampop of quality and charisma.
The first track already shows what the album is about, a well-structured dreampop, full of energy, bringing an 80s sound with shoegaze, a song that immediately invites us to listen to the rest of the album, a sensational song that shows the size of this songwriter's talent and how good this album will be.
The second song, Searching For Signals, is intense, reflective, the kind that takes us out of our chaotic routine and makes us dive into each section, with a perfect and psychedelic instrumental that makes us get in touch with our feelings and leaves us floating with what really matters: our feelings that keep us connected to ourselves and good things. The third track is Lost at Sea, a strong instrumental that leaves us excited and levitating. This instrumental is hard to find these days. It is well-constructed, full of intensity, intimate, psychedelic and charged with energy, with a striking and powerful guitar. This track is captivating and delightful. The fourth song is mesmerizing, even romantic, beautiful, and the kind that makes us dive into our emotions again. This work captivated us. It is a work of art of contemporary dreampop. Without further spoilers, you need to check out the rest of the album, which has power, intensity and quality. An album that allows us to travel and live a little for ourselves amidst the well-planned sounds that guide our thoughts. We love this album. The Silent Sea is a cry from the heart, a desperate cry for all to see and hear. Just look at the playlist... Lies, Searching For Signals, Lost At Sea, The Eye I Eyed, The Dream Of White Horses, Analog Child, Time To Go and Moments, each a death rattle of various aspects of a very unfulfilling existence that prioritizes quantity over quality, how lost we as a human race have become, misinformation and what it all means for our souls!
