Lyrics:
With the ocean in my eyes, feet in the sand
One last step and it’s goodbye to dry land
Feel the cold water flow, when I’ve never felt more alone
Everything transforms into something beautiful
Say everything transforms into something beautiful
Say everything transforms into something beautiful
Full moon fades out in the west, it’s time to take a deep breath
Get down beneath the wave out the other side
Get ready for the very next set, hear my heart beating out my chest
Everything transforms into something beautiful
Say everything transforms into something beautiful
Say everything transforms into something beautiful
See the fire of the sun fill the evening sky
When we get together guaranteed good times
Got a good thing going, there’s no denying
Baby do your thing, I’ll do mine
Baby do your thing, I’ll do mine
Baby do your thing, I’ll do mine
Surrounded by the sun and the ocean
Ain’t nothing like right here & right now
Tuned in to right here & right now
Feel so high right here besides you
I don’t ever want to come back down
Deep dark eyes to the skies, strong wings above the sand
One last leap and it’s goodbye to the sea and sand
Let your voice be a whispered prayer, let your love always be there
Let everything transform into something beautiful
Say everything transforms into something beautiful
Say everything transforms into something beautiful
Lord, I’ve see how you’ve grown, how you’ve never felt more at home
In skin all your own, yet so much like your mom
I watched since you’re a baby girl
You mean everything in this world
Everything transforms into something beautiful
Say everything transforms into something beautiful
Say everything transforms into something beautiful
About the Song:
The title track from The Ram’s upcoming album, this song is hypnotic, intimate, and seductive. Touched by the roots-groove of Leon Russell, the introspection of Leonard Cohen, the unique voice and vision of Tom Waits and the overall welcoming embrace of current day jam band/surf culture, The Ram’s new musical release reaches wide and unites all. In the artist’s own words: “Our ability to find beauty in the world around us is a gift. It's the very definition of art, and at the core of thinking that translates tragedy, pain, and loss into something that helps us grow. ‘Everything’ is a nod to this gift, written for those who see riches where others would only see nothing and the creator in every single one of us.”
About the Day
Days rarely get any better than these. It was a fine June Saturday in Carlsbad, California and it was a perfect way to say goodby to family, friends, and the band. In a few days I would be gone: flying off to Greece for the remainder of the month, then coming back stateside for a family reunion in Upstate New York.
My oldest just graduated Carlsbad High, kids were out in numbers, the summer was in full effect. Everyone was out in full force. To meet the crowd, we had a bunch of new material. We played 4 songs that we had never really played as arranged that night before, but we were feeling it. We had just finished programming the new Nord Stage 4 we picked up of the keyboard player, Mike Pritchard. Thus the reason why the keys sound like an interstellar spaceship.
