ok but why are there so many songs about the ocean

[scruffy_pockets]

like i get it, teh ocean is big and mysterious and all that, but do we really need another song comparing love to waves or using seagulls as a metaphor for freedom? its not like we’re all out there sailing every weekend half the time i feel like these songs are written by people who’ve seen the ocean twice in their life and just googled 'cool water adjectives.'

maybe im just salty (lol) because i grew up landlocked and the closest thing we had was a muddy lake with too many geese. but seriously, cant we branch out a little? whats wrong with songs about prairies or parking lots or something equally poetic but less cliché? anyway, djs, if you’re taking requests, how about some tracks that ditch the ocean vibes and go for something less wet unless its a really good ocean song, i guess.

It's because the ocean is very beautiful. It's that part of nature which can never be fully explored completely. There's so much to sing about it by any artist.
