Lyrics:
some summer you have planned for me / look at all these tourists as they flock to the sea / getting in the water like it’s nothing but it’s not without a consequence / I hear it comes quite naturally but that description doesn’t fit with me / not going over, never going under / not without a consequence / the narrows, the river empty into the sea / some summer you have planned for me, emptied into the sea / such a good man, had a good job / I’d take up swimming for the patriarch /now dispersed so casually like sediment into the sea / the swollen moon all flushed with red / one eclipse away from the Bay of the Dead / it ain’t right I’m telling you / it’s more than coincidence / one stroke at a time on my way back to land / it’s better for me with my feet in the sand / some summer you have planned for me, emptied into the sea

Release cyclist and then you can call the album Triathlon.

[@no1u521]

Underrated

[@ZPiiLe1]

Lmao

[@slimjong-un5743]

This probably planned already

[@alheofl8070]

I wouldn’t have any problem if this album were the soundtrack of my life

[@Aaron-fb6mb]

On god. It really has been lately

[@DirectorHMAN]

It is for me. 😢

[@vxel]

listening to this song while reading their genius annotations and processing the details of them scattering patrick’s father’s ashes into the sea next to the beach genuinely made me cry. this song is essentially a eulogy for patrick’s father and it’s so beautiful and yet so somber. this album is actually too good.

[@adem1068]

Alaina Moore @Tennisinc : This song describes the day Patrick and I scattered his father’s ashes at sea. It was a perfect summer afternoon. People were swimming and surfing off the beach. It was an odd juxtaposition. For some reason I couldn’t stop thinking about the fact that I hadn’t learned to swim.

[@gabrielborjas7923]

i was looking for this comment

[@fraankhanon]

your music is so beautiful

[@MirandaAndUh]

This song is the perfect encapsulation of being somewhere beautiful while wracked with a deep, personal melancholy.

[@Not-Ap]

Well it's about death and reflections on the loss of a loved one so that would be accurate.

[@chandoodles]

All rise for the national anthem.

[@soFallenfilms]

Beautiful song. Her voice kinda resembles Gwen Stefani from the No Doubt years.

[@Wykydtronx4055x]

her voice is like no other person ever!!

[@leah8jean]

my dad said the same thing!

[@linnabahsnyder8359]

Hehe, but better sounding.

[@etiennebisilliatdonnet5928]

There is much more delicacy in her voice than in Gwen's.

[@gummyboots]

Only really in this song specifically, I don’t really hear it in any of their other stuff.

[@jeremyjones2361]

I cry for the nostalgia of summers that haven't even happened yet and lovers I haven't even met...

[@buttnhole1]

Especially for those that I will never meet.

[@tomcruise1492]

we have runner and swimmer, now we only need "climber " and " flyer" to have the full set

[@ulrichwolfgang1824]

Then something spacey like "Teleporter" ?

Then Descender, Tumbler, Limper, And Crawler

[@XsNiPeRPi3z]

i love their uniqueness; their look combined with the interesting mixing and chord progressions makes for very memorable music

[@olliej.2776]

I've had this on repeat all day. It just got late and I can't play music out loud because my family's asleep in bed. So I put my earphones in and transcended into the next dimension, because it was the first time I could hear the bass properly. Tennis is incredible.

[@Fstop313]

Oh so we're doing all the sports today

[@superawesomecaptainmcfluff9506]

you made my day 10000x better. I'm listening to these on class

[@lotusauer4785]

Perfect way to end a night

[@glennjoselane1690]

This entire album is a masterpiece and will soon become legendary.

[@nicksmith2190]

It should except most will not hear it.. bc most people do not know what good music is anymore .. most people only know the so called music artist that the Kardashians are temporary having sex with..
