The Best Ocean themed songs?

You posted this thread twice in two different forums. I moved this thread from Nautical Nonsense and deleted the duplicate. As for the topic, I can't think of any ocean themed songs at the moment but will have a good think about it.
 
I used to be really into seapunk after it had already died. It was cool because I was into it at the same time my family took me took a beach for the first time, so I would listen to stuff like this while walking along the beach collecting sea glass. Then at night, I'd make my own seapunk art which has unfortunately been lost to time.
 
Thinking back to my surf rock and alt rock days, I really liked the band Swimming Tapes. All of their songs had that kind of beachy, ocean feel. Especially Passing Ships and Queen's Parade, from what I can remember. Honestly, just listen to this album of theirs. It's quite good. I also love the song Fish on The Sand, both the original by George Harrison, and the cover by Allah-Las. Speaking of Allah-Las, the song Fontaine off of their newest album gives me ocean vibes for whatever reason.

I haven't listened to the Our Brief Encounters EP by Blanket in a while, and I don't think it actually gives ocean vibes from what I remember, but it has an ocean on the album cover and that's close enough for me. Good ambient, prog rock, from what I can remember.
 
Azealia Banks has a bunch of ocean-themed songs under her mixtape/album Fantasea. I won't link any of her music as it has some vulgar language so please don't seek it out if you don't want to hear that. I first discovered her from the music video for her song Atlantis, which is one of the most popular examples of the Seapunk aesthetic. Below are some gifs from the music video.
