🎧 About the Single – “Drifting Above / A La Deriva”

🎶“Drifting Above / A La Deriva” is SailSki’s dual-lingual exploration of sound and emotion. Presented in two complete versions — one in English, one in Spanish — the album invites listeners to drift weightlessly through deep house grooves, airy atmospheres, and lyrics that capture the vastness of the sea and sky. In Drifting Above, the English lyrics evoke imagery of light, water, and infinite sky — a meditation on serenity and connection. In A La Deriva, the Spanish version delivers the same journey with its own warmth, intimacy, and flow, creating a mirror experience that feels familiar yet new. With pulsing basslines, shimmering textures, and emotive vocals, SailSki crafts a sonic experience that’s both physical and spiritual — music to move to, and music to dream with. 🌊🪈🎹

📝 Lyrics

Drifting Above

[Verse]
Drifting above the ocean – I want to be
Waves like whispers calling – serenity
Salt in the air is singing – a melody
Time feels like it’s dissolving – infinity

[Chorus]
I’m floating free
I’m floating high
A glimmer caught in the endless sky
The world below fades into blue
Drifting above
Just me and you

[Verse 2]
Glimmer of thoughts in silence – a memory
Clouds like a quilt are weaving – eternity
The sun paints gold on water – a quiet plea
The pull of the tide is speaking – it carries me

[Prechorus]
Every breath
Every beat
A rhythm soft beneath my feet

[Chorus]
I’m floating free
I’m floating high
A glimmer caught in the endless sky
The world below fades into blue
Drifting above
Just me and you

[Bridge]
Echoes of light surround me – I start to dream
The stars are close
They guide the stream
Rhythms of peace return me – I’m feeling free
The ocean hums
It knows my theme

A La Deriva

[Verso 1]
Flotando sobre el mar – yo quiero ir
Las olas me susurran – serenidad
La brisa trae canciones – melódicas
El tiempo se disuelve – en infinidad

[Coro]
Floto sin fin
Floto al volar
Un resplandor vislumbra el mar
El cielo azul, me envolverá  
A la deriva
Juntos, los dos

[Verso 2]
Destellos de la memoria – silencio fiel
Nubes tejen un manto – de eternidad
El sol dorando el agua – en su canción
Marea a la deriva – me llevará

[Pre-Coro]
Un respiro
Un latido
Ritmo suave de un suspiro

[Coro]
Floto sin fin
Floto al volar
Un resplandor vislumbra el mar
El cielo azul, me envolverá  
A la deriva
Juntos, los dos

[Puente]
Ecos de luz me envuelven – empiezo a soñar
Estrellas me guían  
Muestran mi destino
Ritmos de paz retornan – me hacen sentir
Que el océano
canta por mí

"I wanted to create a piece of music that floats — like waves, like clouds, like breath. By recording in both English and Spanish, I hoped to offer two windows into the same horizon: one universal feeling, expressed in two languages." – SailSki
