The sea seldom gets the credit it deserves in music. Twangy guitars have never told you anything about the sea, nor have close harmonies. Debussy's La Mer may have captured a little of the mystery of the oceans, but none of their power. You've got 1.3x10⁹ km³ of saltwater rushing about the surface of this planet. That's 1.3x10²¹ litres of water, weighing approximately 1.33x10¹⁸ tonnes. Where does that get the credit it deserves?
