Oh I beg you, Can I follow?
Oh I ask you, Why not always?
Be the ocean where I unravel,
Be my only, be the water where I'm wading.
You're my river running high,
Run deep run wild.
I, I follow, I follow you,
Deep sea baby, I follow you.
I, I follow, I follow you,
Don't come honey, I follow you.
He a message, I'm the runner.
He the rebel, I'm the daughter waiting for you.
You're my river running high,
Run deep run wild.
I, I follow, I follow you,
Deep sea baby, I follow you.
I, I follow, I follow you,
Don't Come honey, I follow you.
You're my river running high,
Run deep run wild.
I, I follow, I follow you,
Deep sea baby, I follow you.
I, I follow, I follow you,
Don't come honey, I follow you.
I, I follow, I follow you,
Deep sea baby, I follow you.
I, I follow, I follow you,
Don't come honey, I follow you.
| zitherica (Rijeka, Croatia) | Posted: Nov 13, 2012 - 02:15 Triggerfinger's cover is just soooo... better. And they arranged it in like 15 minutes. |

| anjo (Geneva, Switzerland) | Posted: Oct 05, 2012 - 01:05 I find RP should have a upper limit of 5 times a song passes during the last 30 days... This song is not bad, but quite tired of listening to it. |

| bh1 | Posted: Sep 24, 2012 - 21:47 Every once and awhile a song which is basically OK becomes memorable for being truly butchered. Looks like this is one of those times. About the only way I can imagine this song being treatd worse would be a rap version. |

So she's the rebel's daughter and she's waiting for, what? an ocean? Because her rebel father sent her? I mean, what?) ... dark boom baby Anyone got a razorblade? Good luck with your writing career :) |

PLEASE CHOOSE MINE!!! Paul Simon says he writes lyrics using combinations of words chosen to sound nice together and jibe with the rhythm, regardless of their meaning. He was addressing a specific question about the deep inner meaning of his line "The cross is in the ballpark..." It works for him, it might work for you! Or we could go back to stealing pick-a-nick baskets in Jellystone Park— you be BooBoo this time, |
| bh1 | Posted: Sep 03, 2012 - 12:10 Sorry, this is not working for me at all. It sounds like Japanese karaoke. Sort of too "hyper", almost annoying. Triggerfinger's version is much better, more melodic and better paced. The song itself is something of an elevator music tune, but I'd rather ride in the car with Triggerfinger playing. |

| WayUpNorth | Posted: Aug 28, 2012 - 07:50 oh - so - catchy! |
| Frater_Kork (Uppsala, Sweden) | Posted: Aug 28, 2012 - 07:49 "Deep sea baby" reminds me of the rather splendid movie Dagon, should have been a great end tune. |
| mkrueck (Germany) | Posted: Aug 26, 2012 - 04:30 cool! |
| milipili (by the Black Sea) | Posted: Aug 24, 2012 - 09:48 I've heard so many remixes and covers that the original actually sounds fresh now  —7— ps: Triggerfinger's version is really doing it for me too. |
| bluecshells | Posted: Aug 24, 2012 - 09:47 Thanks RP! |

| 1wolfy (Mission Viejo California) | Posted: Aug 06, 2012 - 11:50 Thought it was Petula Clark |
| Sloggydog (UK) | Posted: Aug 03, 2012 - 01:13 In 2 minds on this. I think there is something good here but unlike many others think the sound effects fail to blend into the song and I just have an underlying nagging doubt about any song that feels like it spent this long in production. Think I'll vote on the second listen. |
| Nuance (Winnipeg) | Posted: Jul 25, 2012 - 18:39 Gotta say I like both versions very much. I'm able to accept both as art. Completely different songs IMHO and well done either way. |
| twcarlin (too far, and not far enough) | Posted: Jul 25, 2012 - 18:39 I'm liking this more each time I hear it. |
| benelu | Posted: Jul 13, 2012 - 12:41 yeah...great sound effects! like the xx or fever ray. love it! |

| BLADERUNNER (Port City on the Cape Fear) | Posted: Jun 28, 2012 - 10:23 I recently posted a comment on the Triggerfinger version saying it was better, IMHO. well, after hearing this version, i now state that this is the superior version. but i still give both versions a 10. |
