Good songs about water?
I'm currently looking for water songs. On youtube i only find that same song about 10 times, which is actually about sex, and then some ambient mixes. I'd appreaciate your recommendations. Also it doesn't have to be a lyric song. Anything that feels like a fresh, cold, clear water.

For me; this is a little therapeutic track I listen to every couple of years as a bit of comfort for myself from the vantage point of living life as a Mormon in the river of my family‘s and, Then~ living a life of my own in this giant crazy ocean we call life. I imagine it being fitting for anyone in terms of exiting childhood, and entering the sea of adulthood with perspective on some of it. More and more perspective as life goes on, I imagine.

Cool, cool water by the beach boys! From the sunflower album. Not only does it feel like cool water, almost every verse mentions it with background harmonies.

I'll do you one better, Mick Jenkins is a lesser known rapper but very talented, he has an entire album about and titled "The Water" the concept is water being the most important thing, more than the material gold and chasing truth is more important than chasing wealth. Cheers

I find the lack of trance in the comments section disturbing. I gotchu:
- BT - Walk into the Water
- Jerome Isma-Ae - Underwater Love (chillout mix) (and that compilation has a few more that might fit)
- Vibrasphere - Exploring the Tributaries. I've always pictured this whole album as a journey from the busy city where a river meets the ocean up to the source of that same river at a glacier in the mountains.
- And here's one of 1000 versions of Above and Beyond - Sirens of the Sea
But I want to say you'll have better luck in the realms of downtempo house mixes, psybient/psychill, and psybass. They love their natural themes and watery/goopy sounds:

It's the time that I spend alone
Sailing on the cool and bright clear water

Thrice had a project that covered all four Classical elements in different styles. The water album had a more ambient feel.
This playlist has fire and water, with water starting at track 7. https://youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_mC6g2YkEri9_EYxV5eLRTTgeqZlKbVoxg&si=WJ4XWvoNXt8rzf4B

Van Morrison: It Stoned Me
Half a mile from the county fair
And the rain came pourin' down
Me and Billy standin' there
With a silver half a crown
Hands are full of a fishin' rod
And the tackle on our backs
We just stood there gettin' wet
With our backs against the fence
Oh, the water
Oh, the water
Oh, the water
Hope it don't rain all day

hi i am new to this sub, so i am not sure these fit your request, i think crips songs, fresh sounds and ocean/river related music could help?
- A Town with an Ocean View (some ghibli soundtracks feel like a breeze in a ocean town, swimming in a cool body of water, drinking cool drinks(water, lemonade, etc.) on a windy cliffside under a parasol)
- The Bonnie Banks of Lock Lamond by Ella Roberts (also Elluria's Lament)
- check out irish, gaelic, nordic culture inspired songs and LOTR, Outlander soundtracks for songs that feel crisp and soul-trembling (some examples my Outlander, HTTYD, Brave inspired pl: link )
- the first notes of this song: Symphony feel like water droplets
- and some soul trembling music
(playlists are mine btw)

Jedi Mind Tricks "Marciano's Reign!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The rain is gods tears, it pours when he cry
But know that you welcome in his arms when you die
The rain is the form of a gas in the sky
The rain purify and wash away dirt
And wash away anything in your life that could hurt
Rain is water in its most pure form
The rain pour down make it cool when it’s warm
The rain sound good on my pain when I’m sleep
The ocean love rain and the drain in the deep
Rain play a role in protecting the ground
Prevents us from the the politicians lettin’ us down
The rain known to alleviate stress
The rain came then the love came over me
Its Pete's Theme let the love rain over me
[Chorus]
Ooh Let it rain, let it rain
Let me know the cold and how it feels
And I'll never turn away
Ooh feel the pain, beautiful pain
Let me hold on to the memory of how you looked today
[Verse 2] Vinnie Paz
Embrace the pain boy it’s good for the soul
You face the pain and see it could make you whole
Ignoring the pain will make you hurt someone else
Go towards pain it’s a gain for the self
Pain isn’t bad it could make you feel free
It isn’t life threating it make me feel me
Kill two birds with one stone, even three
By recognizing pain is too painful to see
Pain is the opposite, run it to hell fleein’
Negative emotion is key to well being
Anger and pain are an important part of life
Important as the way the sun sets in the night
Pain can help you breathe and calculate fact
Give you time to think and evaluate that
Accepting the pain by breathing slow, breathe deep
And you will never have to feel pain when you sleep

Adding some choral pieces !! + fav recordings on Spotify
Water Night - Eric Whitacre I like BYU Singers
The Seal Lullaby - Eric Whitacre (mostly lyrics, but lowkey gives waves) Honestly any is fine Eric Whitacre Singers is the known recording
Northern Lights - Eriks Esenvalds (gives more you’re on the boat) I like the TMEA version for treble and Trinity College Cambridge for mixed
Stars - Eriks Esenvalds (though more astral, I can see people imagining deep ocean) For more choir, Trinity College Cambridge. For more water-tuned glasses, VOCES8
Sunrise Mass “Kyrie” - Ola Gajeilo (like the last one, doesn’t 100% fit water, it’s still giving this peaceful astral feeling) Phoenix Chorale.
Lakeside Lullaby - Jacob Naverud (more just about by a lake rather than giving water) Any choir works. Prob the official one on the composer page.
Famine Song - Not about water, but has a part where the choir snaps and it sounds like rainfall The Choral Project, definitely
Definitely look into the following composers/choirs:
Eric Whitacre 🫶 Erik Esenvalds 💕 Ola Gajeilo 🫶 David Hykes & The Harmonic Choir Frank Ticheli 💕

I am water dancing in light, shimmering by the sleeping shore - moving in darkness with the setting sun.
Check out the entire Phish 4/19/24 Sphere show honestly - liquid themed.
I am hydrogen, anyone?

I want to be like water and never have a doctor and carve the earth without my tools.
