“Wash Me Away” by Old Sea Brigade – A Song Review

    There are only a limited number of artist who can consistently master a vocalization style fittingly described as “calmed power,” where the vocals are simultaneously warming and invigorating. Atlanta-based singer/songwriter Ben Cramer is one. He performs under the moniker Old Sea Brigade.

     Our current Old Sea Brigade obsession is “Wash Me Away.”


Lyrics of “Wash Me Away” by Old Sea Brigade
When I wake up
Will I find that the diggings of this excavation
Have come to haunt me

We'll hurry on down the line
Where our minds won't get caught
Some love that came
And fucked my piece of mind

Twenty years down the road, we'll grow old and say
That the light of the day was so ordinary
Then my ship set sail from a storm-ridden bay
Holy water come and wash, wash me away

Will you wait up
Can you carry my mind, as far as you can
Maybe for the weekend
It's sitting on a lot of dust
Waiting on a good reason
To come back home
I'm beside myself again

Twenty years down the road, we'll grow old and say
That the light of the day was so ordinary
Then my ship set sail from a storm-ridden bay
Holy water come and wash, wash me away
[Repeat]
