    This brings back memories of all my hours virtual scuba diving on the Wii, with Hayley's hauntingly beautiful voice setting the mood. Endless Ocean is a beautiful game which, in all honesty, is probably what drove me to try real scuba (best decision I ever made). And I think Hayley Westenra's talent really brought it all together.

      this is the one song I ALWAYS listened to, drove my brother crazy XD
      it was especially beautiful when the dolphins called as well. Too bad I could never get past the Atoll...

      Ivy Kowalis the second game, Endless Ocean: Blue World (which is not only better than the first, but is easily the best game I have ever played) honestly helped me realize I could go into biology as a career. I've always been into it, but the Endless Ocean games really progressed that decision (granted I'm still a teenager but it's good knowing what I'd like to do)

    • @TotalPirateLuvva
      @TotalPirateLuvva 7 лет назад +1

      Yeah, Endless Ocean is what got me interested in scuba, and probably a big part of why I'm as interested as I am in marine biology. I agree that Blue World is better than the original, probably one of the best games if not the best I've ever played. The only thing I prefer about the original is the soundtrack

    The water's wide, I cannot get over
    And neither have I wings to fly
    Give me a boat that'll carry two
    And both shall row, my love and I
    Where love is planted oh there it grows
    It grows and blossoms like a rose
    It has a sweet and pleasant smell
    No flower on earth can it excel
    The ship there is and she sails the sea
    She's loaded deep as deep can be
    But not so deep as the love I'm in
    I know not if I sink or swim
    Oh, love is gentle, love is kind
    The sweetest flower when first it's new
    But love grows old and waxes cold
    And fades away like morning dew

    Every time I seat to listen to another song by this wonderful child of God, I am even more spellbound. She follows, somehow, the road open by Enya, Loreena MacKenitt. Though, yet, she has the advantage of being younger, and youth is Beauty... Wonderful, a song for leading us through heaven. Excellent. The lyrics are also a deep thing to ponder. Well done, Hayley Westenra!

    I think that the Japanese, whom we, in the Canadian navy, loved & admired so much, are affectionately connected to Hayley. We had good times in Sasebo & Yokosuka in the '50s. I never once heard a negative word spoken against the good people of Japan. And we were, after all, strangers there. Some were so attached to Sasebo that they talked of it, years later, as though it were in a dream.

      @vyneaofficial 8 лет назад +6

      +Maria L The game is lovely. The game is about a diver and a woman on a ship, who lost her father to the sea long ago. If you play, the story is actually quite emotional and complex. If you sit in the chair on the deck at night-time, you can see the sea and any land that might be behind you, and this song begins to play. It is actually a very deep emotional game, but it is mostly designed to show you the beauty of the ocean, and the beauty of the whole natural world.I think that I see this song as the sad one of the group. Play the game before you comment next time is all I'm trying to say. You clearly haven't.

    I've changed my mind about this track, by the way. The original album track does indeed sound as though it's been pitch corrected (I have the album), though for no good reason. Also, it is an anomaly on the album it was released on. I've noticed that the same album's international release didn't have the track included, probably because it couldn't have pitch correction on any tracks to be eligible for a certain award.

    There is no distance, no sea, just a longing to be. Don't you remember Wordsworth's writing that being born is but a forgetting and "Trailing clouds of glory do we come." And when we've crossed Tennyson's "bar," we'll see at last the one we cherish most of all.
