The first track on Quadrophenia introduces its setting (Brighton), primary character (Jimmy), and mood (oceanic, amniotic, majestic). It does not, however, touch on the album’s later themes of youth alienation and counterculture.
It is the first of three songs on the album that prominently feature...
[Waves crashing throughout]
[Eerie sound effects throughout]
[Piano tinkling]
[Pete Townshend, whispering]
“I am the sea.”
[Roger Daltrey]
Forever, forever…
[French horn]
Is it me, for a moment?
Bellboy! Bellboy!
Love, reign o'er me…
Can you see the real me, can ya?
Can ya?
I Am the Sea was written by Pete Townshend.
I Am the Sea was produced by The Who & Kit Lambert.
The Who released I Am the Sea on Fri Oct 26 1973.
