The Waterboys — This is The Sea: This song (and the eponymous album) help me find purpose and beauty in the neap tides of life. It's insistent and gorgeous and grand. If you like Echo and the Bunnymen, Yeats, or The Secret of Roan Inish, you will like the Waterboys.

@jjpbaker had recommended Van Morrison's "Sweet Thing", which reminded of the greater-than-or-equal-to cover on Fisherman's Blues, another stupendous Waterboys album to love with all your heart. This one, though, this is the sea.
