“She’s Like the Sea” by House of Light

“She’s Like the Sea” by House of Light

The first song of the day is “She’s Like the Sea” (from the album Nervous Systems) by House of Light. For fans of the band, it’s a familiar sound: an outstanding, dreamy shoegaze vibe that sneaks into the listener’s thoughts and takes them away from everyday life for a few minutes. 
The song’s theme revolves around a relationship characterised by its slow, calming, and cleansing effect. The lyrics paint a picture of a relationship where the person acts like the sea - she comes slowly and soothingly, cleansing and clearing the mind. The fear of loneliness, a part of human existence, is expressed through the song’s slow tempo, highlighting that uncertainties and doubts are unhelpful. 
Overall, the song conveys a message of emotional depth, healing, and determination, reinforced by the recurring metaphor of the sea. The musical execution is very dreamy, almost psychedelic. The vocals match the mood, creating an overall impression that exudes calmness yet emotional depth. “She’s Like the Sea” is an older work (2017) by the band but still holds a magical effect.
