Swimming in the Flood by Passion Pit

Album: Manners
Year: 2008
Genre: IndiePop

Mood: Tranquility and peace

The one thing I like about indie produced songs is they have a very unique sound.  Swimming in the Flood is a very good example of that. At first listen, it seems like its another run-of-the-mill album track to fill up the roster of the compilation.  But once you get into the song, it proves itself worthy of attention.  It soothes you in a tranquil state of mind with its slow and mellow rhythm and cool vocals.  

Lyrics:
"Swimming In The Flood"
My eyes have once again been proven wrong
Your clouds, your blanket and my pity song
Hovering on your front lawn
Carry on until it's gone.

What can I do? 
The river's overrun
We're swimming in a flood, you know?
I thought I felt your touch
But the water's rising up 

Then I lie naked in a rampage 
In the flesh, face to face with the onset
I forget everything that's ever made me
Rise again
Now slowly leave my memory 

What can I do? 
The river's overrun
We're swimming in a flood, you know?
I thought I felt your touch
But the water's rising up
Now all my lovers raise their cups 

What can I do? 
The river's overrun?
We're swimming in a flood, you know
I thought I felt your touch
But the water's rising up 
Now all my lovers raise their cups
