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:
“Everything” 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 Live Video:
As with previous shows, I’m going to release a song a week until the complete show is uploaded and archived on Substack. This concert is being released in support of the new single “Perpetual Change” (released on November 8, 2024). We started video taping and recording our live shows consistently in 2023, when I took over the live sound. Prior to that the recording sound quality was a bit spotty.
