With the release of their self-titled debut, The Ocean Blue quickly achieved widespread acclaim and radio & MTV airplay with top 10 Modern Rock/College Radio hits like "Between Something and Nothing", "Drifting, Falling", and "Vanity Fair". Followed by Cerulean, Beneath the Rhythm and Sound , and See The Ocean Blue, the band's fanbase grew with each release.
The band continued to several records, including 2000's Davy Jones Locker and 2004's Waterworks. In 2013, the band released their first full length record in a decade, Ultramarine, on Korda Records. In 2015, the band worked with Sire Records to reissue their first three albums on vinyl, and toured North America and South America, where some of their most passionate fans reside.
In 2019, the band returned with the beautifully powerful Kings and Queens / Knaves and Thieves, and has continued to tour for this release and the newly re-issued vinyl of See The Ocean Blue (2022) and Davy Jones Locker (2023).
This whole album Cerulean is full of beautifully crafted songs like this one. This really takes me back to college days when I used to drift off to sleep listening to this album nearly every night.
Это точно!
A esta banda lo escuche x primera ves en radio doble nueve fm lo escuche y me encanto hasta el dia d hoy 2024 tengo el cd saludos desde lima peru
cerulean?
Igual lo escuche 1ro en doble nueve y me compré el casete en la Villarreal (Av. Colmena), Excelente banda! Lo último que oí fue Kings and Queens,
I used to spend hours at music store listening stations, trying to find treasure I NEVER would have heard on the radio and The Ocean Blue were one of my greatest finds! Pure beauty and graceful melodies are to be found on every album they put out! Cherish them and always will!
My story exactly
It's funny how hard we had to work to find good music in the pre-digital days!
I only discovered them (purely by chance) over the weekend, on youtube - I am beyond peeved that I had not heard of them sooner! It seems incredible that in the late 80's and right through the 90's (my teens to 20's) I was always looking out for good bands and I never discovered them - gutted!
Where are you? I'm in the UK - I wonder if that is why. I don't remember ever hearing them on the radio and my friend's dad paid for MTV etc, so we used to watch regularly, so I really don't understand why I've never heard them before. I used to listen to John Peel on the radio and he introduced me to some belter tunes. Then, like you say, going into independent record shops, but they didn't have a listening facility, so I used to randomly buy records from this one tiny store which was probably only 12 feet by 10 feet square, but they crammed the records in, and almost everything they had was absolutely mint. That's how I first discovered the band Curve, I liked the cover of their single and just impulse-bought it. The guy who worked there knew his stuff and if you said you liked a certain band he could point you in the right direction of other things you'd probably like. He had no problem playing stuff for you, but I used to go in my college lunch hour because I went to college in a different town, so I had limited time. My goodness I'm writing a book on your comment, sorry I'll shut up now!
PS All that said, if this was first brought out in 2005 I'd not have stood a chance of hearing it, my son was 2 years old and I was crazy busy - i lost all spare time I used to have after work and at weekends to read books, write poetry, listen to music in abundance, it was mad, all gone in a flash. Wouldn't change it though, he's a brilliant young man, with very eclectic musical tastes, just like his mother!
@@zamaz99 not funny as we were limited to
Cerulean is worth listening to just for the drumming. Guy’s a beast.
Up there in quality with the likes of The Smiths, James, The La's etc, just surprisingly American. These guys should have reached the same dizzying heights, still timeless now.
Temazo, que suertudos q vieron a la banda aqui en Lima PERÚ 🇵🇪
Yo los vi en Barranco la primera vez que vinieron a Lima. El viejo teatro casi se viene abajo cuando tocaron esta. Fue un concierto tremendo. La nota nostalgica, al final: Dave Schelzel sacó la electroacústica y tocó Eyes without a face de Billy Idol. Casi lloro.
soy peruana, que bacán lo que viviste, definitivamente un clásico, esta obra trae muchos recuerdos.
En qué año fue ? Se que en Barranco vienen muchas bandas muy buenas pero que pasan desapercibidas ya que no hay difusión más que escuchar doble 9 ahí si uno puede enterarse.
@@Gabrielkgaray Fue en junio del 2006, en el ex teatro Rajatabla.
Que locaza tu experiencia , suerte la tuya
In the 90s, I soaked my brain with the sounds of: Ocean Blue, The Sundays, and Toad The Wet Sprocket. Great times....today I still give them plenty of play 😎.
Toad!
@@Porsche996driver - im a huge fan of Toad the Wet Sprocket....along with Roland Orzabal from Tears for Fears 😎
@@Porsche996driver Where does the band name come from, was it a comic strip or what ?
@@Retroscoop a monty python sketch i believe
Love that late 80's to early 90's alternative rock sound. So many underrated bands including this one.
Ohhh ok oo
Was just thinking about that right before reading your comment. That era was gold, and we were lucky and privileged to have experienced it.
American Brit 🙂Pop
I just saw these guys play last year at the ECHO PLEX in LOS ANGELES. They still sound AMAZING. It was a full house. Great show!
Fan since 1991... Amazing band and so humble!!
I loved this song so much! These guys were ALWAYS “in the pocket” and had some great grooves, just smooth and flow-y!
What a sublime teamwork, the delicate accents of the keyboards, the topnotch vocals, the bumblebeeing bass, the guitar bringing a fine solo, while the drummer is keeping everything without overdoing together... They deserved far better sales figures and 27 000 thumbs up by now...
+Benoit Vanhees You are not kidding Benoit - I couldn't have put it better myself. A criminally under-rated band. Love these guys!
Benoit Vanhees Well said.
They were amazing. This is one of their best tunes. The short instrumental break in the middle of the song it pure genius!
Will always love this band!
If these guys were born up the road from me in Manchester they would have been huge.
333DGK Totally. Sad that in the late 80's early 90's in america it was only hair metal dying out and grunge coming in. Then that stupid girl hippie rock. Totally obnoxious and is why many of us in america had to turn to the ROSES, happy mondays, and then finally blur and oasis. I didn't even know this band existed til the early 2000's. Fuck america is fucking stupid sometimes.
@@urwholefamilydied What do you mean by "girl hippie rock?" I remember a lot of angry punk/grunge girl bands, but I never thought of them as hippies... very much not. Can you give some examples? I know you wrote this 5 years ago, but if you come by this way I'd like to hear more about this. Hmm. Do you mean mean singers like Sarah McLaughlin? I wouldn't call her music rock, though. Does anyone else know what this means?
These guy are just so underated and great
Excellent drumming on this one. Very underrated band.
the most british sounding american band I've ever heard I think
Sounds straight out of the British baggy era
Yess!!!
Spot on.
Have you heard Riverside? Search them on UA-cam. You’ll enjoy them too, very British sounding and the melodies are phenomenal!
Lol totes. I love them forever.
1991 was one of the most amazing years for alternative music.
Dude I totally sported the Dave Schelzel haircut in high school, just bit longer though. I remember long trips listening to Ocean Blue back back when you needed a cassette adapter to play your CD walkman in the car.
These guys take back to boyhood. Where nothing mattered, life was one adventure after another. I would do anything to return to that time....perfect days spent with friends in an endless loop of days spent a drift, wandering, exploring, laughing, and spending time with friends and family with no conflicts, no arguments, just friendships and bliss.
and most important it were the people around you who were much wise and smart then any retarded today...
I loved this band from way back! The sound they produce gives them the knack of style and charisma they deserve. They are from Camp Hill,Pa which is only 2 1/2 hrs away from me which makes it even more awesome!
They are underrated and need to have more exposure.
That explains why I saw them at one of the first WHFS-ivals... that radio station was great at showcasing fantastic bands from the mid-Atlantic.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HFStival
Should have got more airplay here in the UK, they gave a nod to the British sound and deserved a nod in return.
We like the musician who can express themselves thru their "image," but thru their MUSIC.
Esta cancion me hace recordar a Yacana Bar en el centro de Lima.
Norma ya abrió el yakana 😍😍😍😍
Radio Doble 9, la radio rock en Lima. Por ellos tengo como vosotros ese fino gusto musical por el Indie Pop y todo el movimiento New Wave sea de la Costa Este u Oeste o de los Charts Británicos..
Esto escucha la gente linda del Peru!!!
Yo iba solo con mis cervezas acompañándome y después terminaba en Noctulus XD
Yo la escuche viendo *GRANDE PA*
hay muy buenos temas en esa serie!!! 90's
cerulean never gets old every time i play it i don't want it to end. great for painting, chores round the house, woodworking. love workin to this album
Beautiful song, amazing Amish Bowl cut circa 1990’s.
can listen to the Ocean blue every day~
First CD I bought.
Excelente banda, ojalá vuelvan pronto a Perú.
Sophia, I met your dad and the band at South Paws in Bklyn some years back I was thrilled! Former bass bass player here and I 'respect' your dad. Long live TOB. (-:
A sheer masterpiece.
The vocal and guitar harmonies found in this song are classic signatures of this timeless band.
Truly, they were singularly one-of-a-kind, and completely unmatched in their style, sound, and tone.
Magnificent...
Underrated, amazing band ...sigh...wish more people knew... I will keep spreading the word...
saw them in 93!!! wow~!~~~ great band!~!!!!
this song has a perfect intro, the base, the texture of the guitar, the drum cutting the first part ... AWSOME ! these guys have an incredible sense of sound
I just found this band by mistake, and I'm glad I did!
mcxandio me too! When they covered the smiths there is a light that never goes out
Your dad's basslines inspired me to grab my bass after a few months of not playing. So calm, yet powerful and goose bump inducing.
My favorite off of this album is 'I've Sung One Too Many Songs (For A Crowd That Didn't Want to Hear).' Glad I still have the cd!
man I can't believe I've never heard of this band. really good !
This is from 1992, From Cerulean album, what a masterpiece!
Pretty much anyone who's on Captured Tracks owes something to this band.
SE EXTRAÑA ESTA MÚSICA EN EL JACKANA CENTRO DE LIMA
Their best song. Ever.
Here is a band that sounds quite current. Thanks WB for posting these!!!
A friend of mine told me about this group now im hooked on them great vocals and music
Rob was one of my favorite drummers ever. Class.
This is one of my favorite songs of all time. Thank you.
+Lance Haynes Mine too - great vibe!
music is a real time machine.. it take u back to the time when u used to heard it many long time ago..
+nugraha mohamad It really is man! Music is a gift.
yes
They were fantastic in NYC late 80s with their headliner The Nightly Lemon Drops.
How this band does not have a stronger following, I have no idea.
I just love how unpretentious and devoid of irony they and their music are. They sincerely set out to make heartfelt, almost innocent pop beauty, and they succeeded. This music is the antidote to hipster music.
bricology... hipsters don’t listen to just one type of music. Ridiculous last sentence but the rest is spot on.
La tocaron en Arequipa, Perú. Que recuerdo para más genial y fui con mi esposa, un recuerdo aún más preciado. Thank you The Ocean Blue.
The band I was in from 1987-1991 used to cover this as well as "Between Something and Nothing" & "Drifting, falling" and were a real influence on our own writing. Great songs, Cerulean is still one of my fave records.
underrated band !
Quietly, almost elusively
Almost invisibly, I found that I
For a moment had slipped away
Ripped in two, then pasted back again
Then crumpled up inside, then tossed aside
You know that it feels so bad
Oh, Mercury
Oh, Mercury
Happened once and then it happened twice
And then it happened thrice and now a fourth
You know that? Did you know that?
Ripped in two, then pasted back again
Then crumpled up inside, then tossed aside
You know that it feels so bad
Oh, Mercury
Oh, Mercury
Quietly, almost elusively
Almost invisibly, I found that I
For a moment had slipped away
Ripped in two, then pasted back again
Then crumpled up inside, then tossed aside
You know that it feels so bad

Oh, Mercury
Oh, Mercury
Oh, Mercury
Oh, Mercury

Percy Alvarado C what does Mercury have to do with it? The planet or the metal? Help me understand.
Thanks
Incomparable melody that transcends time.
simply beautiful. they were robbed. .....cuz rap music has such depth. when i isten to ocean blue....I feel so wonderfully at peace. Like everthing is right with the world. thnx dudes.
i grew up in the next county from these guys. the same area where the great band LIVE germinated. and by germinated I mean, the ground was fertile for music. it still is. i love this music to this day. it never gets old. i do, but it doesn't.
got there cd...so lucky i am
Man I had totally forgotten about all of their seeming, brilliant, one hit wonder songs, it would seem, from their brilliant, ingenious, air waves shaking, new wave sounding, first album!!!!!@@@
One of the most under rated bands ever. Saw them live at Club Rio in Tempe AZ. when I was 22, and going to AZ. State U. Was sold right then and there, great live band!!
si bien soy ochentero , me la pasé muy bien a inicios de los noventa con esta banda , tiene ese clásico encanto inglés de las cosas. felizmente los vi en el Perú hace tres años suenan igual.
julio angel maguiña caycho Me parece que son estadounidenses.
yo descubri este tema cuando la oi en HieloBar, y la busque y realmente me encanto pero no sabia que fue al peru. saludos
I love The Ocean Blue! :) humble musicians who don't know how beautiful their songs are!
I am sure they do.
I was 13 when this record was released. It meant SO much to me. And it still is amazing!!!
Catherine Wheel brought me here and god damn this band is awesome as well.
My lovely ambience of 90's
I seen this song live in new Orleans. The best version ever
I was in a hard rock..semi metal band and we covered Drifting Falling..I have a recording of it somewhere.I have been into The Ocean BLue since their 1st release.They are releasing a new album soon! SWEET!
👋👋👋
I feel like singing "You gotta be crazy, you gotta have a real need...
"
This is a great song, but it ain't no DOGS !!!
I've always dug them.
those were the years when music can be very good and clean. minimalism is the best
The Ocean Blue .... For Our Brain
Fly with this song
This is one of my top ten favorite songs of all time. What does that say about me since it only has 87,000 views, lol. These guys were part of the madchester movement but got robbed since they were Americans. It's still great.
You asking what is says about you since it only has 87,000(at the time) and is your favorite song is your answer. Pretentious.
take me back to those happy days
What a great band that never got the notoriety it deserved. Glad I discovered them on You Tube....If these guys only knew these songs pulled me out of a time when I lost the love of my life. I will thank them on here and hope they will see.......
The Godfathers of Indie Rock....will always be my favorite group....
Perfect song just like many of their other ones... thanks Brown University Radio 95.5 WBRU "Your Alternative"
El 2020, contra toda pandemia o desastre mundial, seguimos escuchando hermosas melodías como estas para fortalecer nuestro espíritu.
Reminds me the song "Here's where the story ends" from The Sundays.
148 smart ones.. 1 person not so smart. I remember these guys from my radio station days. We got these guys to play at the Old Post Office. Great night that night. I wish they were still recording.
this band has been robbed. they play crap on the radio.....then when real music like this comes out they turn a deaf ear. too sad. oh well... its here for us, and thats good enuff. Its on my Hit list.
This is my wife's wake song on her alarm!
+Dan Burton Awesome!
Now its my ringtone !!!!
Your wife is a legend.
I first read this as her "wake" song--lol
As long as she doesn't become a ballarina out of control, everything is fine and dandy in the Burton house :0)))
this song became part of the soundtrack of my lifes movie
Beautiful mercury, beautiful tune. So underrated
wow!!!!!! muy buena canción!!! Me gusta.
Thanks for posting WRV.
Good luck with those who see the band today/ Suerte con quienes vean a la banda el día de hoy
like the song's atmosphere and the intro.
