Lyrics:
Sumri Hallar hausta fer
Heyri snjallir ýtar
Hafa fjallahnjúkarnir
Húfur mjalla hvítar
Girnast allar elfur skjól
Undir mjallar þaki
Þorir varla að sýna sól
Sig að fjallabaki
We cannot fight the tide
We feel the force of the waves
The outrage and vanities
Breaking on the shores
Of our dignity
Now we need to show the raw
Within, Without
The cracks in our armor
Just let them bleed out
Can we not double down,
Follow the crowd of insanity
Judging humanity as toxic and weak
Let it go
To the water
We shake with the power of our ancestors
Throw our futures into the ocean
Cast out anger
Cast out fear
Let the gods of the deep purest love appear
Throw our futures into the ocean
Artificial innocence
Despair borne dissonance
Hunting down anything
When we have everything
Logical trauma
Mothers, daughters
Throw your futures
Into the water
How can we reign in our insanities?
Labeling humanity as toxic and weak
Verður svalt pví veðri er bryett
Vina eins og geðið
Þar sem allt var áður heitt
Er nú kalt og freði

Once again, the artistic beauty of his mind shines through with another stellar composition

[@rachelmillsaps1301]

I don’t know if Chris Corner will see this or not. This is the most beautiful song I’ve ever heard. My jaw was on the floor the entire time. Absolutely stunning. What a masterpiece.

[@luceterna99]

he doesn't have bad song..............

[@Rob_Dekker]

You know what’s a crime, that IAMX or Chris Corner isn’t a household name. He’s super talented and I enjoy hearing his music a lot. I hate myself for missing out on his concert last year.

[@wizamoonstone]

He is sonn gonna tour Europe, in like 2 months, the tickets are available!

[@ProjectGnome1961]

I agree! Why do people know the Jonas Brothers but not IAMX?

These are the type of sounds that I love about IAMX. The ethereal, dark, melancholia. I am in love with this new song.

[@magistravitae6449]

Это настолько пронзительно, всеобъемлюще.. Потрясающая песня. Господи, до чего же талантлив. Люблю IAMX

[@vipxrshorts]

new favorite song.

[@sigmazay69]

I understand

[@Riekriek]

This is such a blend of raw beauty, ethereal beauty and connectivity, a secret sacred dream that I kept has now come true. Here the Icelandic language and English blend into one sea. What a powerful prayer this feels like, LET IT OUT to the waters.....Thank you Chris , IAM X and Hafdís . Lets reawake the whole world. Blessing and greetings from Norway

[@tehdii]

I salute you Christopher!

[@jennifergoatin3122]

we know that Chris makes masterpieces but this time you really outdid yourself, you can perfectly perceive the suffering in the singing and then the song left me speechless. Truly compliments also to the singer with whom you collaborated, at the moment I can't write anything else because I have to recover from this enchantment.....🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹,,,💯💯💯💯💯🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

"Judging humanity as toxic and weak... let it go... throw our futures into the ocean..." Fuuuuuuuuuck.....

[@MRb-om9jv]

So unreal beautiful music! I was floating alone in a river recently, lying on my back and admiring the sky... It was wonderful, the rest of the world seemed to disappear. This song gave me the same feeling... Thank you, IAMX!

[@JorgeSanchez-ps6zi]

Best IAMX song in years. I love all his music, but this one is a Masterpiece. 😮😮😮

[@avalanche8148]

Maybe actually his best...

[@thomasengstfeld3326]

Ich liebe diese Sounds. Seit ich durch Zufall in Namur in ihren Bann gezogen wurde. Chris ist ein Zauberer, ein Musiker, der mein musikalisches Leben bereichert hat, der mich glücklich macht. Danke.

[@marceltheisen957]

Ich habe ihn zum ersten Mal aufs Blackfield in Gelsenkirchen 2009 gehört,und er hat mich gefesselt

[@marceltheisen957]

Liebe es

[@weightlessinsun]

Beautiful. The Maestro has done it again. I listened for the first time with headphones...there is nothing quite like feeling an IAMX song in your brain.

[@njmochi2678]

нічого так не обожнюю як iamx, знайте це покровитель мого музичного смаку на всі 95 % з 2019 року по сьогодні ,серед всієї музики, що існує на цьому світі.

[@MarcLowe]

Two weeks ago I posted my initial impression of this track. I am commenting again because, you know, this is some serious voodoo... I mean that, of course, in the best possible way. There is something really, really special and powerful about this track. I keep coming back to it again and again. That line about the "power of our ancestors"... Perhaps the magic lies in this. Not only can I not stop listening to this track, both when at home and/or when walking through the streets of Tokyo with my "Audio Technica" earbuds in, but it also inspired me to create a new 10 minute-plus long electronica track entitled "The Tower," which became the title track of a solo LP I had been working on at that time. (Note that the track in question I wrote and recorded sounds nothing like "The Ocean," nor does it share the same theme lyrically, or at least not in any direct sort of way, but listening to this song really inspired me to do it, and that is part of its magic.) Just... Wow. Had to add a follow-up comment. I know I am repeating myself, but I will say it again: very special, this one (and I have been a fan of Chris' music for several years now and have heard most everything he has released as IAMX).

[@hannahdeards9652]

I am SO hyped for this one

[@Jane_Sevigne]

Such a beautiful song! 🌊🖤{X}

this song’s so good omg

[@nsbd90now]

Some google translate of the lyrics: Summer Hallar autumn leaves Hear smart taps Have the mountain hills Squirrels' hats are white Covet all eleven shelters Under a snowy roof Hardly dare to show sun Go to the back of the mountains It will be cool because of the weather Friends like mind Where everything used to be hot It's cold and peaceful now

[@akoo369]

Appreciated

[@beccyboocoobee590]

I know a lot of people are against ai so hopefully I don't upset anyone here, but I put it into chatgpt and asked for a translation, which I believe is probably a more accurate translation (but who am I to say lol) and this is what it gave me: Autumn's approach they call, Heed, all wise men, The mountain peaks Wear white snow hats. All the rivers desire shelter Under the snow's roof, The sun hardly dares to show itself From behind the mountains. (End part:) It becomes cold because the weather changes, Just like a friend's mood, Where everything was once warm, It's now cold and frozen. ❤❤❤

[@nsbd90now]

@@beccyboocoobee590 That is so cool! I'm glad you did that.

[@tehdii]

@@beccyboocoobee590 We are starting to enter the part of history where AI is no longer in hands of old people but is in hands of our children and all the crazy talk about it will end. I am no longer against AI but against people who will as always use it to make job less available and truth more desirable.

[@zhene_slovyan]

Integrating some Scandinavian epic melos into IAMXs' ethereal and rebellious Corners' voice and immersive electronics was definitely a great and harmonic idea.

[@nsbd90now]

Holy Moly! Now THAT is Chris Corner with more of the melodious writing and existential topics plus cool beats and a more standard song-crafting composition than in the recent modular synth, rather abstract, random-sounding explorations. I've been so curious as it seemed he was engaged in creative exploration recently, and how it would combine with his terrific "pop" song-writing skills. Whew! Can't wait to hear the rest of the record! This song is going to be on repeat for a while. Wish it was longer.

[@ivanovaden5769]

Wonderfully said!

[@Gorentaya]

You never disappoint with your new releases. Beautiful as always❤️

Fight the tide. Even if you cannot win. The ostinato piano at 3:10 is really beautiful. Vintage IAMX. Glad you still have the spark.

[@MarcLowe]

I listened to this via Apple Music this morning (Tokyo-time). Very simple, moody pulsating synth w/beats atop which Chris and Ms. Huld provide ethereal, emotional vocals. I agree that this one is very good indeed. Hypnotic and dreamlike.

[@nsbd90now]

The lyrics are SO POWERFUL with meaning and relevance and the gaze of an Artist upon these... volatile times... this could well be one of my favorite IAMX songs.

[@lokelani2341]

My god this is another level of IAMX
