About Oceans

"Oceans" is a song by English rock band Morning Runner and was featured on their debut album, Wilderness Is Paradise Now. It was released on 14 August 2006 and was the band's final single (see 2006 in British music). The song enjoyed some success on the radio, being made single of the week by Colin and Edith on BBC Radio 1 on 19 June 2006. In spite of this, it subsequently failed to gain enough airplay, and was reduced by the label from a CD and vinyl release to merely a vinyl release. The B-side planned to be on the CD version of the single, "When Your Watch Stops", was however still made available for download. The music video for the single was shot in early June in New York City.

Catch your breath,
Paddle to the shore,
Let the sunset,
She won't see him no more,
Asleep in the archways,
With wisemen and tramps,
Thinking about letters, lights and tramps.

If you turn back the clocks,
You'll fall asleep in the Ocean.

But it's gone just for a minute,
And i was away just for a minute,
The stars exploded,
Man you should have seen it
