about
Ocelot is back with yet another single. This time it is a maritime themed sea groove.
Simpukka is a song about longing to the sea, wanting to be with the sea and listening closely to the sea. The song introduces the idea of a dialogue with the shells and the tide.
The percussive yet melodic piano and the thick bass makes this a beachy groove that makes you want to dance, enjoy a mocktail and perhaps dream a little dream. Ocelot covets the notion of listening and grooving with each other – and the sea – simultaneously.
Tune in to Ocelot’s wavelength and listen.

Simpukka (lyrics)
Simpukka korvalla
Simpukka korvalla
Kuuletko sen?
Tunnetko sen?
Kuulen meren kutsuvan
tunnen meren puhuvan
kuulen meren kutsuvan
Syvänsinisen, aallon murtuvan, merisimpukan, pirstaloituvan
tunnen meren puhuvan
Aaltoja rannalla
simpukka korvalla
Kuulen sen
tunnen sen
Ja sä kuiskaat
kuuntele minua
Kuulen
Kuulen meren kutsuvan
Syvänsinisen, aallon murtuvan, merisimpukan, pirstaloituvan
Tunnen meren puhuvan
Syvänsinisen, aallon murtuvan, merisimpukan, pirstaloituvan
Kuulen meren kutsuvan
Syvänsinisen, aallon murtuvan, merisimpukan, pirstaloituvan
Tunnen meren puhuvan
Näen meren palavan
Syvänsinisen, aallon murtuvan, merisimpukan, pirstaloituvan
Tunnen veden kuohuvan
Syvänsinisen, aallon murtuvan, merisimpukan, pirstaloituvan
Näen meren kutsuvan
Syvänsinisen, aallon murtuvan, merisimpukan, pirstaloituvan
Tunnen meren puhuvan
