“Swim Good” is one of our favorite Frank Ocean songs. Among the many stand out lines on this track, our favorite is “I’ma try to swim from something bigger than me…” As both surfers and musicians, this feeling is what keeps us coming back to the water and the studio. We’re fighting against the currents and tides to create a better world, not just for ourselves but for those around us. We sing because HOPE DESERVES AN ANTHEM, and reminders like this one from Frank Ocean serve as the fuel we need from time to time to keep fighting, to keep singing and to keep swimming. We’ve recorded a collection of songs written by a diverse group of songwriters. Different nationalities. Different ethnicities. Different backgrounds. Different understandings of the world. Even if we can’t be in the same room, it’s still our job to bring people together. —

Lyrics: That’s a pretty big trunk on my Lincoln town car, ain’t it? Big enough to take these broken hearts and put ’em in it Now I’m driving ’round on the boulevard, trunk bleeding And every time the cops pull me over, they never see them And I’ve got this black suit on Roaming around like I’m ready for a funeral Five more miles ’til the road runs out I’m about to drive in the ocean I’ma try to swim from something bigger than me Kick off my shoes and swim good, and swim good Take off this suit and swim good, and swim good, good Got some pretty good beats on this 808 CD, yeah Memory seats I’m sitting on stay heated I woulda put tints on my windows but what’s the difference If I feel like a Ghost, no Swayze, ever since I lost my baby I’ve had this black suit on Roaming around like I’m ready for a funeral One more mile ’til the road runs out I’m about to drive in the ocean I’ma try to swim from something bigger than me Kick off my shoes and swim good, and swim good Take off this suit and swim good, and swim good, good I’m going off, don’t try stopping me I’m going off, don’t try saving No flares, no vest, and no fear Waves are washing me (out) I’m about to drive in the ocean I’ma try to swim from something bigger than me Kick off my shoes and swim good, and swim good Take off this suit and swim good, and swim good, good
