Winter
of the sea Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Cathedral bells ringing down, branches blooming all through town
And in my ears a steady ring kept me moving towards the spring
It was a long, long cold year, but I think it's all becoming clear
I thought it through, I think I want it too
When I saw you there upon your chair, in the light of winter's air
A pheasant's feather for your thoughts, I sent 'em shooting with your buck-shot
We listened for sounds out there, raised our knives out of fear
It was a long, long and cold year, but I think it's all becoming
I thought it through, I think I want it too
'Cause I saw you there upon your chair, in the light of winter's air
Stepped out through the ? nights, took care in the common light
Cathedral bells ringing down, branches blooming all through town
And in our ears a steady ring kept us moving towards the spring
It was a long, long cold year, but the thaw is finally hear
I thought it through, I'm sure I want it too
And I saw you there upon your chair, in the light of winter's air
I see you there upon your chair, in the light of winter's air
I see you there upon your chair, in the light of winter's air
Your emerald eyes and raven hair, in the light of winter's air
The song Winter by Of the Sea is a deeply introspective and reflective ballad that explores the emotions of someone who has gone through a difficult and lonely winter season.

In his ears, a steady ring keeps him moving forward towards the spring. He then reflects on how he saw someone upon a chair in the light of winter's air and realized he wants them in his life.
The suddenness of this realization is likened to the southern wind that blows in or a pheasant feather that is shot by the singer's buck-shot. The singer and the person he saw on the chair listen for sounds outside, raised their knives out of fear till they realize it was only silence. Winter by Of the Sea is a song that captures the longing for a new beginning after a long, cold winter. The lyrics speak to the idea of hope and perseverance that are required to get through a difficult season.

Stepped out through the ? nights, took care in the common light
I ventured out through dark, uncertain times, but was careful in the familiar light
Cathedral bells ringing down, branches blooming all through town
The sounds of the church chimes fill the air, and nature awakens as spring arrives
And in my ears a steady ring kept me moving towards the spring
Despite the difficulties, a constant reminder pushed me forward towards the new season
It was a long, long cold year, but I think it's all becoming clear
The past year was difficult, but things are starting to make sense
When I saw you there upon your chair, in the light of winter's air
In the cold, crisp air, I caught sight of you sitting there
Came sudden like a southern wind, like Santa Ana's blowin' in
A sudden change, like a strong gust of wind, swept over us
A pheasant's feather for your thoughts, I sent 'em shooting with your buck-shot
I offered you something to ponder, and it hit its mark
We listened for sounds out there, raised our knives out of fear
Feeling threatened, we were on alert and ready to protect ourselves
It was a long, long and cold year, but I think it's all becoming
Last year was arduous, but now things seem to be falling into place
And in our ears a steady ring kept us moving towards the spring
Together, we were spurred on towards the new season by a constant reminder
It was a long, long cold year, but the thaw is finally here
It took a while, but the cold winter is finally melting away
I see you there upon your chair, in the light of winter's air
I catch a glimpse of you sitting there in the clear, winter light
Your emerald eyes and raven hair, in the light of winter's air
Your striking features stand out in the winter landscape

If I were an indie game studio, developing a game, I would definitely hire this guy to compose the entire soundtrack of the game. Can you imagine an RPG with a soundtrack composed by this beast?
TokenTombstone
Yes that would be dope.
Andrea Semeraro
I always thought about that.

Every time I listen to him, a feeling of happiness, calm, serenity intoxicates me. His compositions are magnificent.
Each one of them seems to tell you a tale of ancient times, with magicians, troubadours, people sitting in a ring, with their attention focused on their music and unmistakable style.
Great composition, Ewan
