[Mosh]

I'm a bit confused. Is UO winning?

 

[Moon Child]

Like Golf, the lowest score wins.

So you're winning so far, Mosh.

 

[bearfan]

Exactly, Mosh is winning ... negative scores are good here .. you want the lowest score possible.

 

[Mosh]

Ah got it. Wasn't sure if those scores were negative. Well awesome then

 

[Moon Child]

I'm somehow in 2nd place so far? And we weren't sure if we did it right!

That is a fair point ... anyone else agree, it has Sea in the title, but not much else

Edit. Unless anyone disagrees, I think it stands, there are plenty of sails and rivers references in the song

Yeah it does have nautical themes - although most of it is symbolic..

"Like a river we will flow
On towards the sea we go"

"The sun don't shine
On the sea of madness
There ain't no wind to fill your sails"

etc
