Cover art for Captain Nemo lyrics by Sarah Brightman

This song is amazing. The singer is a woman who has fallen in love with a magical shape shifting whale creature. In human form, the whale creature is something like an English Aquaman. He was born in the sea and has come to shore and fallen in love with a woman. Alas, they must part, because he can't live long on land. Society is against their love and the police are coming in boats to try to stop Captain Nemo from returning to the sea. They want to do experiments on him and punish him for loving Sarah Brightman. But they will fail, because Captain Nemo's shape shifting powers make it impossible to distinguish him from other whales, and also he can swim deeper than their best police submarines.
