Caught unaware and so it is
Oh, when you barely know it is, but you know it is…
Wisdom is hardly a thief in the night
As long as it isn’t a sin to be right
Don’t think that you’re wrong but you might be
Hiding your fears and so it is
Nobody cares even though it is just ripples in the water of life
Tossed into the unknown until it turns into a tidal wave
Just like ripples in the water of life
You’re lost in a rhythm never known until it turns into a tidal wave
It’s just ripples in the water of life
You’re lost and gone and unknown until it turns into a tidal wave
When you’re not yourself
Well then, you’re someone else
There is much below the surface
Things we can not see
Understanding is another wave
And it’s washing over me
Like a stone dropped in the water
When you let it fall
How the ripples travel farther out
And it’s washing over me like a tidal wave…
I think I might have been around enough to know that
We take for granted all the treasures that we may have
A victim of a little thing called circumstances
Coincidental as I wonder what the chance if
I turn another corner and I might never know about you
When little things become a tempest in a teacup
All the trials and frustrations in between us
Too many days that I spent looking for a lost chord
Even with so many ways that I can fall short
Problems fade away, I can’t imagine life without you
Can’t help thinking ‘bout the meaning of life
When all of a sudden it comes into me just like another tidal wave
I can’t imagine all the wonderful things
Beauty and love come washing over me just like a tidal wave
You start with ripples in the water of life
All of a sudden it’s washing over me in power and the glory like a Tidal Wave…
Had to come back and give this another listen! Like ftlpope2 noted there is definitely a Beach Boys vibe going on here (think Pets), But I'm also feeling a lot of Yes, Close to the Edge era, especially in the vocals (huge compliment btw)!
Keep em coming my friend, we want more
Outstanding! This tune is superb and has all the necessary components to make it stand out. Great harmonies on this piece. I love the piano and the mix on this is crystal clear. One of the better tunes I have heard in awhile.
Welcome to Mix!
Makes me think of a cross between The Beach Boys and Supertramp - excellently done in true prog spirit with tons happening and as someone else said, more than 8 minutes long makes the genre. ftlpope
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful! What a great song to wake up to, sitting back, sipping away at a cup of java, staring out the window looking at the mountains and listening.
Bravo my friend
Gabriel
This song is like a Tidal Wave in the way it's produced! It just bowls me over with those great A capella vocals.....and it just keeps coming with something new introduced as it rolls along.......like a Tidal Wave. Very well done!

Wow. very refreshing sound, a bit of the old with enough you to make it new. So many enfluences heard hear it's a bit like getting a dose of my favorites with one artist.
Keep them coming.
