Honestly, why this song did not make them mega-stars is beyond me. Incredible lyrics and music. Perfection.

Its awesome but really more of a B-side and more for the true Ocean Blue fan. It just seems a bit variable in its tempo for what "pop" demanded at the time. The sax sounds great and all the elements are present. The constant flow I believe is lacking for the masses. If that makes sense. Listen to Ballerina and Between.Something and Nothing. Then come back to this and I think youll understand my point.

Yeah I met them and always love them. I think they didn’t get enough air play which is often the case. I was a DJ for 12 years, by invitation. It’s amazing how much music does not get exposed to the public but I think it is dependent upon that unfortunately. They were sweet guys. They have a special vibe may not be appreciated by everyone. I think you have to have a certain musical sensitivity to be hip to these guys

I bought their albums and it was much slower than their more popular tracks. I bought a few albums and it was ok. I guess I was looking for more of an upbeat album like these hits of theirs. And yes I was surprised to when I found out they were from Hershey Pennsylvania. Still an excellent band. I appreciate the slower stuff as I have gotten older (50).

@frankpalomino - The Ocean Blue never became mega stars, because most of our country and Europe are into that garbage, POS hip-hop music that goes around. The boys at Ocean blue never wanted to sell out to mainstream. They kept true to themselves…. And that’s to create beautiful lyrics and music like this

GREAT band who never got the recognition they deserved.

Although I wouldn't say I'm a huge fan of this band, this one song is such a pure distillation of a certain feeling many of us had around the late 80s/early 90s; a melancholy, dreaming, Kids in the Hall, kind of feeling. It's absolutely beautiful.

Their debut album is one of those rare works that is "all killer, no filler" - there's not a weak spot on that whole disc. Every song is absolutely beautiful, and the entire thing meshes perfectly. And much like my fellow GenX'ers who became fans when this was released, this track evokes some very distinct memories - as does the entire album.

Cerulean was an even better album from start to finish, as I didn't discover them until that point, for whatever reason. The third album was the pinnacle of that time period, and then it all shifted gears when they left Sire. Still, I just got a ticket to see them at a small live music venue here in town, and I'm stoked as I've never gotten to see them all these years...

One word to describe this band: "smooth" I can't believe i haven't heard them until now.

This song is playing right now on the radio!!! I was like, "omygosh, this is Ocean Blue!" Seriously only the second time ever I've heard the radio play an Ocean Blue song. This band is so under-rated.

The nostalgia of my youth... A wonderful trip back in time.

I am crying.. I’ve felt so isolated and alone for so many years..such a chance finding this beautiful band.. nothing more to say but I hope they’re still producing the music and lyrics that truly shine such a light on being human after all x

I owned this album on cassette tape track and played them non stop in my 1979 Jeep CJ-7. There were only 6 or 7 regular T.V. stations, no internet, no social media, just bright blue skies.

Straight outta Hershey, PA.! Wonderful debut album; David Schelzel said in an interview (KEXP radio) that he can't listen to it, hearing only its flaws. But if there are flaws, then they're so interesting it doesn't matter to fans all over the world, which is why Schelzel and Co. still tour and create new music today.

Seen this video on MTV in early 90's and been looking for it since then. Great saxophone part!

This is the nostalgic sound that I miss. I heard this on Kroq, Los Angeles. I get an English Beat vibe from this band.

I was 10 years old when this came out. Now 43 years old and it is still in my playlist. I love the whole tune and the sax is so catchy.

God, this song still sounds so good. Just gonna turn it up and let it waaaash over me.

KROQ played this song quite a bit through 1990. Kevin & Bean and Jed the Fish in the afternoon. Sounded just like early ‘80s Haircut 100 to me. The lead guy really has the Morrisey bounce going there. What a cool band and great song. Hershey is kind of an odd town, the huge chocolate company is totally reclusive and private. Very British style band for sure.

On the first day of high school (1989) the background music was in my dad's car. Beautiful melody and poignant for a scared girl.

this is truly one of the greats who didn't get enough glory .fairly magical sound as good if not better than alot of bands of that era. this stuff was simply sensual brilliant and cool
