Freedive by Lowland Hum
As a part of the Podsongs podcast, we recently had the pleasure of interviewing the writer, free-diver and rock and roll enthusiast James Nestor (author of Deep and Breath). This song was written after and inspired by our conversation. You can hear the conversation wherever you listen to podcasts and the song here of course.

Lyrics
From the surface where
Light meets water
Breathe in, push down
To the deep where I’m
Just creature
Just bone, Just flesh
Just blood, Just breath
What’s a tear that falls
Underwater
Just you, just me
What is weightlessness
With a stranger
Two hearts, one sea
Where I come from
We don’t deserve your trust
What we’re made of
We couldn’t earn your love
Like a spring from the center of the ocean
Breathe in, push down
There’s a gaze that can cut through my commotion
Breathe in, push down
What are words when two are
Beholding
Just you, just me
When the tear and wave are
Communing
Just salt, just sea
Where I come from
We don’t deserve your trust
What we’re made of
We couldn’t earn your love
Where I come from
We use our power strength to crush
What would happen
If we received your trust?
All my days I dream of
Returning
Breathe in, push down
To the deep where I am
Just creature
Just bone, just flesh
Just blood, just breath
