Corinne Bailey RaeAbout
“The Sea” is the haunting title track from Corinne Bailey Rae’s sophomore studio album. Although the song is usually associated to her late husband Jason Rae who passed away in 2008, it was actually written about the death of her maternal grandfather in a tragic boating accident. According to Bailey...
The Sea Lyrics
[Verse 1:]
I never knew you were standing on the shore
It says everything
Explains everything
That from then on it couldn't be just like before
It says everything
Changes everything
So don't you stand there wishing your life would fade away
And don't you go round with anyone who makes you feel ashamed
[Chorus:]
Goodbye paradise
I hope there's something you could try
Goodbye
You're so changed that you'd give it all away
Goodbye
Goodbye
[Verse 2:]
I saw your face in the faded light
Said everything
Explained everything
It haunts all your days and it comes to you at night
You did everything
Blame anything
But don't you cut those ribbons to take away the pain
And don't you go round with that same old crowd
They make you feel ashamed
[Chorus:]
Goodbye paradise
I hope there's something you could try
Goodbye
You're so changed that you'd give it all away
Goodbye
Goodbye paradise
The sea
The majestic sea
Breaks everything
Crushes everything
Cleans everything
Takes everything
From me

What did Corinne Bailey Rae say about "The Sea"?
We recorded it in a barn near Scarborough in winter, very close to the sea itself. It was freezing cold, the wind was wild and the air was very different that night. And above us was an amazing sky full of stars as there were no street lights for miles. It’s a very special recording to me.
