The German title "Naturträne" translates as "Tear of Nature" or "Natural Tear". Some phenomenal singing by Nina.

Of course tears count as water (as one of my selections is called "Tears").  Anything water-based counts, even contact solution (saline), but I challenge anyone to find a song about contact solution.

Looks like we've had some great selections so far.  I wasn't sure if this would be a difficult one or not, but it seems to be working out well.  (Well.  Get it?)

Nice topic. First one from me has Ian Gillan possibly going for a third poll appearance in a row. Previously nominated in the April Fools poll and then in the last one with Deep Purple, I have this different one from the duo of Gillan & Glover. Probably recorded on break from Richie Blackmore, er... Deep Purple, they collaborated on some non-Deep Purple type songs, including this one.

Gillan & Glover "Clouds and Rain"

Maybe someone should nominate this:



With a song like that, perhaps the band should be called Weeing.

This gives me the opportunity to bring up two further artists that I love big time and have never used in these polls - I'm pretty close to running out I guess but there's still something to be found.
Mice Parade - Waterslide (the search function tells me that in this forum they were only mentioned once by somebody else, twice by me, but in the youtube comments you read "prog" and "math rock"...)
Probably quite a bit better known is this one, Thomas Dolby - One Of Our Submarines, in a great 2012 live version (Lorenzo will call this guilty synth pop pleasure and of course it is, and originally from the early 80s; I'm guilty as ever).

Second from me is an artist I have nominated before, Mark Eitzel. While the "Southend on Sea" of the title is probably referencing the town, the song is full of water imagery, so hopefully this works.

Mark Eitzel "Southend on Sea"

Edit for a different video that should play for more of you.

Here's one from me, it is a Deep Purple track once again. No matter the fact that it is a cover, I believe it qualifies, off the band's self-titled third album.

^ The artist and title is in the post. It's Mark Eitzel -"Southend on Sea"

A Crimson Mellotron, that video is not working.

I do think it's helpful if people do type the names of both the artists and songs partially because the videos might not work or not work for some, and also that tit can help the OP in preparing the poll (easier to copy/paste).

Wonderful music! This young Turkish boy, stuck in the seventies, judging by the length of his hair, is talented, in my opinion he will give us satisfaction!


Historians get the true story of Handel's [sic] Water Music wrong. It is said that King George I asked Handel to provide music for his River Thames barge party, and the suite was the result. In reality, it was Boy George I (who also sported long hair) that asked DJ Handles to create music (Handles' Passing Water Music) to help with his urinary retention, but it worked far too well as he developed chronic urinary incontinence. A very pissed Boy George I later wrote a song about Handles, who George unfairly blamed for Handles' great success, called "Do You Really Want to Hurt Me (Do you Really Want to Make Me Pee)" which featured the lyrics:

"Do you really want to hurt me,
Do you really want to make me pee...
Come inside and catch my whizz
I've been piddling but believe me
If it's true you do not know
This boy wees without a reason
I'm prepared to let it go
If it's piss you want from me
Then feel my spray
Please take it away" (The UnCultured Club).
You just made that up...didn't you? Wink
Thank you for supporting independently produced music

I love a lot of Mark Eitzel’s music. My favourite albums are West (with Tuatara) and Ferryman (with Bernard Butler).

West is my favorite. I previously nominated "If You Have to Ask" in the male singer-songwriter poll, going way back. One of the earlier ones.

Deep Purple are on PA. Shouldn't this make them ineligible for this poll?

Anyway, now I'm getting lots of ideas for songs. Here's another one with "sea" in its title - "Toiler on the Sea" by the Stranglers:

  Could not resist the challenge.....  there are also some "saline," songs, but this one was pretty clever with the double meaning thing going on.
