Sounds like he is singing "hicky hicky"

Can a lake be by the ocean tho? Lakes are usually FRESH water. Ocean's are SALTwater. Hmmm...:-O

HERE IT IS!!

Sure. If it's an isolated body of water.

I think it's a metaphor similar to "taking small steps at a time" though. Or, Maxwell has been spending a lot of time in a tourist resort that had a lake by the ocean.

Nice.

I like the newly developed husky tone in his upper register.

Is he licking frosting from his own hands with that ridiculouos title?

I saw that he was streaming the track live last night on Facebook. I chose not to listen. I just want to hear it all in full. The whole album, that's part 2 of an alleged trilogy that is taking way too long to put out. We'll be in WW4 by the time he releases part 3.

I respect dude full on, but his creative process is looooooonnnggg as hell.

My panties fell right off when I listened to this. Sadly, I was at work.

Didn't that just make your job easier?

this place man

Nice. Doesn't cover new ground, but it doesn't have to. It's a solid reminder of his earnest, classic talent -- and it certainly serves the purpose of making me want to hear the balance of the album.

I like Max but as far a covering new ground I'm. Not sure if he can.. Imo most of his releases sound the same. Embrya was probably the oddest album and over time has become my favorite.

mine too. it's such a different album. it sounds so unique. i just love it start to finish

I understand why you didn´t want to listen to it and rather wait for the album to drop but you missed out on a really good Q&A kind of interview with his fans.

The song, by the way, is the bomb!

I absolutely love it.

Can´t wait for the album to come out in July.

Ahhh...GOT'cha. I like it. Very nice song. Harks back 2 the "Fortunate" days a little. He's just gotta work out those damned apostrophes on the titles that make up this trilogy that's taking way 2 long 2 do. I mean, SERIOUSLY...Sade and Maxwell have GOT 2b the true SNAILS of the recording industry. Oh, and Kate Bush. I forGOT. :-p Nite!

^ And a certain Mr Archer.... aka King Snail!

Kind of similarly to nova, I took the 'lake by the ocean' metaphor as saying something like, "Let's just forget the big, wide world with all its turbulence, and focus on living in our own little world where the waters are calmer." I can relate to the plea - though it could be seen as a bit of a sad or even tragic sentiment too (i.e. aren't we all forced to swim in the ocean, whether we like it or not? and what's making the ocean so unbearably hard to swim in anyway?).

Could also be that his missus is suffering from moderate vaginal dryness. Or he himself is underperforming in the ejaculatory department. I'm just sayin'.

Either way, I like the track a lot. Nice to have him back at his dreamy best!

Hmmm, if the Q&A is after the track, I might go find it & watch that part.

He also, although very briefly, talks about the reason why he is a bit slow as far as his releases are concerned, and he talks about his inspiration (pain, breakups, loss etc.)

Really worth watching, and he seems to be very down to earth and humble, too. I really enjoyed watching it.

Good to see him back and look so healthy, determined and open.

Really nice artist and person, in my opinion.

The dude can phrase. That's a big thing lacking with newer Prince. Max need to teach skipper.

LOL! I like it TOO! Curious to hear what the album will sound like! I wasn't feelin' "Black Summers' Night" too much. <3
