Ocean (previously known as "Take Me Down To The Sea") is a nearly solved synth-pop song posted to WatZatSong by user Guglielm in 2014.

Background

On June 27th, 2014, the song was first uploaded to WatZatSong by user Guglielm, who stated in his post that the song was internally tagged as being created by "David Baron, Barron, Barren, Byron".

Discovery

On June 6th, 2024, YouTube user DavidBaronMusic commented on a reupload of another lost song that he was responsible for, called Joe Will Never Be The Same, confirming that he created the song while he was a music student to be played on WFMU, and it was played as a favor by his friend and DJ Bill Berger. He also confirmed that the song is called "Ocean" and that the song was recorded in 1986.

He is currently waiting for his Tascam 244 tape deck to be repaired before posting the full song, as it is the only way his master cassette will be playable so it can be ripped and uploaded online.

Lyrics

Presumed Lyrics You know you’ve got to believe me

I ain’t tellin’ no lies

Love ain’t a word on the bookshelf

That I pull out when I’m high

I see no reason to leave you

I’ll always be by your side

And never think of me, darling

As a short-lived prize

Sympathy is not for me

And I have not a jealousy

Take me down to the sea to stay (to stay)

We could live by the ocean

In a cottage no doubt

We could run by the moonlight

Makin’ music ourselves

And I’ll come home at night

And you’ll be there with me

Am I dreamin’ now

I just want you to see

(Synth Solo)

You know you’ve got to believe me

I ain’t tellin’ no lies

Love ain’t a word on the bookshelf

That I pull out when I’m high
