Shearwater - The Snow Leopard
hauntingly beautiful introduction to the song, credits to Jonathan Meiburg who provides the vocals. it makes you feel empty yet full? i could just lie back and let this song wash over me, like the incoming tide rushing upon the beach and receding gently.

the way is to climb
the way is to lie still
and let the moon do its work on your body

Shearwater - Leviathan, Bound
yet another emotive song, it seems as if the melodies are reaching into the crevices of your body, resonating very gently through you.

it's really hard to describe their kind of sound (once you listen you'll find that it is pretty much different) and my words may not do justice to their songs. so it's best if you listen to the songs for yourself. an awesome band with a good outing at experimenting with a unique but wonderful sound that grows on you the more you listen to them.
