Brady began performing as a hotel piano player in Donegal at the age of sixteen and graduated to being guitarist, during the 1960s, in two rhythm and blues bands: Rockhouse and the Cult. There followed a stint with the Johnstons as a guitarist and singer that ended in 1974, and a shorter one with Planxty that saw Brady touring extensively but recording no albums. In 1976, Brady recorded an album with Andy Irvine that he now regards as his best. Welcome Here Kind Stranger, released in 1978 was the summation of his interest in Irish music and was followed in 1981 by the appropriately named Hard Station, Brady's engagement with commercial rock.
Brady went on to record several other albums and collaborated with Bonnie Raitt and Richard Thompson. In 2006 he collaborated with Cara Dillon on the track "The Streets of Derry" from her album "After the Morning". He has also worked with Fiachra Trench.
Sea Of Love
Paul Brady Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Come with me
To the sea of love
Come with me my love
To the sea the sea of love
I wanna tell you how much I love you
That's the day I knew you were my pet
I wanna tell you how much I love you
Come with me
To the sea of love
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
To the sea of love
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
In Paul Brady's song "Sea of Love," the singer invites his love to join him in the "sea of love." With simple yet powerful language, the singer expresses the depth and intensity of his love. The first two lines of the song set the tone: "Come with me, to the sea of love." The metaphor of a sea of love suggests an almost overwhelming abundance of emotion, and the invitation to join the singer in that sea implies a sense of trust and shared vulnerability.
The second stanza reinforces this idea, as the singer reminisces about the day when he first met his love: "Do you remember when we met? That's the day I knew you were my pet." The use of the word "pet" is a bit unusual – it implies ownership, but also affection – and it reinforces the idea that the singer and his love are deeply connected to each other. Additionally, the repetition of this stanza (which is also the chorus) underscores the idea that the singer's love is not fleeting or temporary, but rather a constant and enduring force.
