Never said you said it sucked, just say it sucks if you don't like it. Or at very least say it's an approach to music you're not sure about. Because it IS music.

And drawing your attention to the beauty of the auditory experience that the sea has to offer is an equivalent to drawing attention (or pleasure) to the auditory experience that music has to offer. Really, if you can find beauty within sound, that is music. I'm very happy that you're able to find those sounds beautiful, but I really hope you can one day find them to be music.
