2:16 "he used to talk to me all the time... sometimes it (???)
3:55 no idea... but the person speaking sounds on the verge of tears, and it sounds heartbreaking.
4:04 "I just gave up... I just gave up."
No reason really for trying to decipher these samples, just for fun. They really intrigue me, though... They add so much more to the song, somehow. It's like they are a part of the story that the song is telling.
I love that this song is like the definition of an atmospheric song; it's very reminiscient of the sea. And it does seem to tell a story, one that's told simply through the notes and the atmosphere of the song and not through words. I love it so much.
I also like to think of the samples as like a fuzzy flashback in a movie or something. Sort of like when a character sees something that sparks an image in their mind that flashes onscreen for like 2 seconds... It's very unclear but appears to have a lot of meaning. That's how it seems to me with this song, sometimes.

It's a great film and I agree they add a lot to the song.
