Drop in the ocean by Ron Pope

In 2006, Ron Pope hit single” Drop in the Ocean” was put online for public.  In 2009,  it was featured on shows like The Vampire Diaries, 90210 and So you think you can dance. His song hit the top 100 on itunes list and in all honesty, this song really deserves on the top 5 list for best songs of the year. It is a great song.

Basically the song goes through talking about this guy hoping and dreaming that he can get this girl, but sadly he states in the song that it’s like “wishing for rain as you stand in the desert”and what he is meaning to say about this is that his chances of getting with this girl are not that high, but still he thinks of this girl as his heaven.  If any music listeners favor music that comes from artists like Ed Sheeran or any band or musician that plays the type of music like this then they will definitely love this song.  It’s a sweet and loving slow song that can get to any  ones heart. Also,  The lyrics create a picture in your head and that’s what songs are suppose to do.  The song is pouring with feeling and it’s has a relaxing tone to it.  Going through the song, the listener can see that it has feeling and depth and all and all its just a really good song.  It’s well put together and no one can help themselves from not wanting to sing it.  Very well written song.

A drop in the ocean

A change in the weather

I was prayin’ that you and me might end up together

It’s like wishing for rain as I stand in the desert

But I’m holding you closer than most

Cause you are my heaven

I don’t want to waste the weekend

If you don’t love me, pretend

a few more hours

Then its time to go

And as my train moves down the east coast

I wonder how you keep warm

It’s too late to cry

Too broken to move on

 

And still I can’t let you be

Most nights I hardly sleep

Don’t seek what you don’t need from me

 

It’s just a drop in the ocean

A change in the weather

I was prayin’ that you and me might end up together

It’s like wishing for rain as I stand in the desert

But I’m holding you closer than most

Cause you are my heaven

 

Misplaced trust in old friends

Never counting regrets

By the grace of God, I do not rest at all

And New England as the leaves change

The last excuse that I’ll claim

I was a boy who loved a woman like a little girl

 

And still I can’t let you be

Most nights I hardly sleep

Don’t seek what you don’t need from me

 

It’s just a drop in the ocean

A change in the weather

I was prayin’ that you and me might end up together

It’s like wishing for rain as I stand in the desert

But I’m holding you closer than most

Cause you are my… heaven doesn’t seem far away anymore no no

Heaven doesn’t seem far away

Heaven doesn’t seem far away anymore no no

Heaven doesn’t seem far a way aaaahhhhhhh……!!!!!!

A drop in the ocean

A change in the weather

I was prayin’ that you and me might end up together

It’s like wishing for rain as I stand in the desert

But i’m holding you closer than most, cause you are my heaven

You are my heaven
