Body of water
A body of water or waterbody (often spelled water body) is any significant accumulation of water, generally on a planet's surface. The term most often refers to oceans, seas, and lakes, but it includes smaller pools of water such as ponds, wetlands, or more rarely, puddles. A body of water does not have to be still or contained; Rivers, streams, canals, and other geographical features where water moves from one place to another are also considered bodies of water.
Most are naturally occurring geographical features, but some are artificial. There are types that can be either. For example, most reservoirs are created by engineering dams, but some natural lakes are used as reservoirs. Similarly, most harbors are naturally occurring bays, but some harbors have been created through construction.
Bodies of water that are navigable are known as waterways. Some bodies of water collect and move water, such as rivers and streams, and others primarily hold water, such as lakes and oceans.
Bodies of Water
Bodies of Water is a band from the Highland Park neighborhood of Los Angeles, California, signed to independent record label Secretly Canadian. The core group consists of married couple David and Meredith Metcalf. However, the band often plays LA shows with five or more additional musicians, such as horn players, an additional drummer, and strings. All members of the band sing, including players added for local shows.
Bodies of Water's first EP and album was reviewed favorably by music critics such as Pitchfork Media and Rolling Stone magazine's New Music blog. Critics often compare their music to that of Ennio Morricone, Arcade Fire, The Mamas & the Papas, and label-mate Danielson. In interviews, the band lists gospel groups and Tropicalia musicians among its influences.
Bodies of Water's first full-length album Ears Will Pop & Eyes Will Blink was originally released on Bodies of Water's own Thousand Tongues label, and was only available in a few stores, at live shows, or directly from the band via their website. After Secretly Canadian signed Bodies of Water, the label re-released the album nationally on January 22, 2008.

I Guess I'll Forget The Sound I Guess I Guess
by: Bodies Of WaterDear when i touch your face (ahhh ahhh)
I can no longer hear (ahhh ahhh)
The sound of a million hearts
beating together as one
And when the night is done (ahhh ahhh)
And when the dawn has come (ahhh ahhh)
I will take the daylight on
My cheeks will dry off in the sun
Though my heart once was broke it's been mended
And the sting of the fracture has ended
But still the sound of the hearts that are breaking
and boots that are knocking pervades
Before the day that i first touched your face
or the roar of these things filled my ears
Then i embraced you and we (?)
to just hear our breath as we breathe
Up till that day i would hear them
And the sound as they broke, it was fearsome
that was until your arms opened up wide and the
treasure therein was made mine
There is a noise that is taking the place in the hollow
of my inner ear
It is a whole that's the sum of its parts, a white
noise sure as the sun
Now that I've found you dear
The light has lost to me you see
And now that I've touched your face
The noise strays from memory
I guess I'll forget the sound, I guess, I guess
My cheeks will dry off in the sun, the sun
