Songfacts®:

• Low comprises husband and wife Alan Sparhawk (guitar and vocals) and Mimi Parker (drums and vocals). The couple live in the port city of Duluth, on the north shore of Lake Superior. This song is a tribute to living by the water.
  
  Alan Sparhawk told Uncut magazine: "Where we live in Duluth, Lake Superior is big enough that there's a disappearing horizon, as if it was an ocean. It's weird. I like the idea of the unknown."
• Low recorded the song for Hey What, their 13th full-length album. Frequent Bon Iver collaborator BJ Burton produced the song. He has also worked with Eminem ("Fall"), Taylor Swift ("Closure") and Kacey Musgraves ("Justified").
• Multidisciplinary artist Dorian Wood, who identifies as non-binary, directed and stars in the song's elegant music video. The clip shows Wood modeling in front of a Zoom class that sketches them. The artist said it was inspired by their personal experience posing for virtual drawing classes during lockdown.
  
  "I borrowed a friend's empty guest room and twice a week I would set up my laptop and lights and pose for three hours at a time," Wood said. "During these long stretches of time, I'd lose myself in thought while delivering poses that best showcased all this fat brown beauty.
  
  In my mind, I traveled to places and memories, and in the case of 'Disappearing,' I not only visited the ocean in my mind, I became it."
