Bodies of Water are a band from the Highland Park neighborhood of Los Angeles, California, signed to independent record label Secretly Canadian. The core group consists of married couple David and Meredith Metcalf. However, the band often plays LA shows with five or more additional musicians, such as horn players, an additional drummer, and strings. All members of the band sing, including players added for local shows.

Bodies of Water Ears Will Pop Eyes Will Blink I Heard It Sound
Standard Tuning
AmCDmF I heard it sound from the valleys low AmCDmF I heard it from mountaintops covered in snow AmCDmF I heard it rise from the oceans deep AmCDmF I heard it echo off canyon walls steep
Am What'd you hear? CF A beautiful sound Am How'd it sound? CF It sounded like this
(Beautiful sound) CAmDmG
AmC As it echoed in my ears DmF My face glistened damp with the sheen of my tears AmC As I drew near to your side DmF I knew it was useless to flee or to hide
AmCDmF There is a sound ringing out day and night AmCDmF It fills up each shadow on earth with its light AmCDmF I felt the sound fill my innards and limbs AmCDmF I felt it watching me think from within
Am What'd it see? CF Desire split in thirds Am How'd it feel? CF The strain was immense
CAm These are the times that test all our bonds DmG Our mutual will is all twisted and stretched CAm But still the sound, the notes and the chords DmG Reside in our chests where they've been deeply etched
AmC My soul and spirit are apart DmF My bones and my marrow, divided as well AmC And what the eye that sees me sees DmF Are pieces of body and fractions of self
