Welcome to Chillers, the ongoing series where we take a look at songs that give me goosebumps. Bi-weekly posting will be done on WordPress with a cross post to Bluesky.

A local Ohio hidden gem of a talent, Jeff Klemm has the vocal chops to carve out his own path in the music industry. Ocean Meets the Sky allows him to show off both his emotional range and the lyrical strength that runs through his album Burying the Shadows.

This is a love song wrapped in soaring highs and despairing lows—the vulnerability of love laid bare. References to cloudy thoughts, crashing waves, and love’s piercing rays highlight the duality of affection and uncertainty.

It’s a song that captures the way love can both calm and consume, a balancing act between hope and heartbreak.
