Sea of Love (Phil Phillips cover)

Cat Power

Come with me
My love
To the sea
The sea of love

I wanna tell you
How much
I love you

Do you remember
When we met
That's the day
I knew you were my pet

I wanna tell you
How much
I love you

Come with me
My love
To the sea
The sea of love

I wanna tell you
How much
I love you

    General CommentI feel that this song is about being truly in love after you have been with someone for a while. The end of the third verse is actually "I knew you were my pet" not "I knew you were mine"., if you listen to the original by Phil Phillips and this one the lyrics are exactly the same, I only say this because not all of the covers on the cover record are exact covers.

    General CommentI wish this song made me happy: But it doesnt.
    Theres just too many negative connotations with love. For me anywway.
    When you are in love with someone who will never love you back... I guess every love song is sad.

    General Commenta lot of the songs in the movie Juno are simply mediocre..its just a bunch of kids with a tape recorder that put funny lil lyrics together and made a soundtrack...i thank goodness for this beautiful song for being included...i totally teared up when it came on..it was perfect... and its one of those songs that makes u want to have a special someone to dedicate it too..just angelic..beautiful..

    General Commentspecial.k makes me feel significantly more lonely than I did before, but I can see how that completely defines this song.

    Bottom line: It's beautiful.

    I've listened to the original by Phil Phillips and many other versions, but this is by far my favorite. There's something about a female voice with those simple lyrics that makes it that much more powerful. Maybe it's just me...
