The Sea
Description
The Sea was composed and sung by HAEVN, a Dutch music duo centered in Amsterdam. The duo consists of singer/songwriter Marijn van der Meer and film music composer Jorrit Kleijnen. In an interview with Genius Music, Jorrit stated that the duo "often quote the subject of water. [...] [They] find water and the sea are a nice metaphor for what we can not fathom. When you are at sea, you feel that your head is empty, but at the same time, it is such a powerful and great thing that you can not comprehend [it]. It is both liberating and intimidating. [They] tried to capture that in the lyrics and music of The Sea.' " We see here in HAEVN's piece that the ocean and the emotions connected to this vast body of water is the root of inspiration for the duo's album Eyes Closed. This album draws the feelings of the push and pull within the ocean currents and reflects them upon the turmoil of love. As Marjin states in a later interview, " 'You just feel with this music that you jump into the deep!' "
