    Words that form a sentence
    Words that form a phrase
    In a poem or a letter
    Could not convey the meaning
    Of what this man has done
    In a painting
    On canvas
    As the colors fading
    They dictate my mood
    Can you see me
    Are you near me
    I find myself on canvas
    I find myself on stage
    Can you see me
    Are you near me
    And I long to know you're real
    And I long for you to be part of me
    I long to know you're real
    And I long for you to be a part of me
    In the fading twilight
    I sit and stare at her
    In all her beauty
    Her beauty
    You know I have to wonder
    Why all great men must die
    And leave their treasure
    They leave their treasure

    Saw them at Mississippi Nights (St. Louis) in 1990! They opened for The Mighty Lemon Drops and killed! They played their entire debut album and then showered the crowd with Hershey candy bars. What a fantastic sound. So clean but full. Every instrument is perfectly balanced--Schelzel's voice, the chiming guitar, the steady bass, the piano slipping in and out, and I love the cymbal bell work. Damn, so great to slip into this song again.

    Like Book of Love, this band was one of the best things to come out of Pennsylvania. Oddly, the PA band everyone seems to remember from the 80s is The Hooters who had the one hit "And We Danced". Tragic. Especially considering the numerous hits that Ocean Blue and Book of Love had all over the place on college radio. IF only the mainstream radio stations outside of PA had found these bands.... Regardless, we're all blessed now thanks to TH-cam.

    The drumming in this song is sooooo damned efficient, putting little accents where needed, like raisins in a bread. No need for complicated 7/6th shuffle movements combined with Creole traditional music drumming like Jeff Porcaro of Toto fame would have proposed. This song just needed a strong, simple beating, with lots of caresses of the cymbals on the right spots. And those delicate extra's by the keyboards, ohhh oh again so to the point. No unnecessary Wakeman-tralala, just art deco-ish, simple notes for the right atmosphere... Wow !

    Saw this band at the Vegas venue called Calamity janes back in the late 89's. During the break sat and drank with the lead singer, very cool guy . Totally expected them to be a huge band. Best wishes for the journey they took.

    There's a certain beauty ,elegance and power that encapsulates this song. It's been 30+ years since this came out. Still holds up against anything currently released. This song, could be released now...and it would be huge. The guitar work is superb, the drumming is precise and strong. Also, the production of this song, is simply superb. An under appreciated gem.

    A classic of that pivotal late 80s/early 90s sound. I remember this hit the airwaves not long after the Bunnymen broke up and the guitar riff, particularly the solo was just what us indie college kids needed to help us think of what Will Sergeant would be playing if the Bunnymen were still around. That is said as a compliment to this band. I cannot recall ever hearing a weak song from them. I read years ago that the lead singer became a lawyer after they disbanded. And this is EXACTLY how indie college kids looked around that time.

      This was played a decent bit on MTV around '88/'89 and I loved it, but it was mining the earlier territory of the Smiths/EchoBunnymen, etc., and grunge was about to be heavily pushed by the music industry as you probably know. We can look back on this now and appreciate its awesome timelessness.

      3 albums, Beneath the Rhythm and Sound was also on Sire before they got dropped. Then they signed to Mercury and released "See The Ocean Blue" which was a more rough and tumble sound, but still poppy (the song Slide was very much their old sound still). They continued to release good stuff, Davy Jones' Locker, Waterworks, Ultramarine, and the newest one is Kings and Queens / Knaves and Thieves. Still good stuff.

    God, what memories. Was listening to new music and heard this the very day I heard Toad The Wet Sprocket. That whole era was so distinct. The Sundays, Echo and The Bunnymen, The Church, The Cure. There was a mystery and a magic to the vibe that has not been duplicated. It was around this time that I discovered Acid House and Trance and I never looked back. But this was one of those last conventional bands I recall loving.

    In other songs, you may find guitar passages that are louder, softer, faster, slower, grittier, smoother, nicer, or nastier, but you may not find one that is sweeter in tone than this one, or more in keeping with the vibe of the song. This is near perfection.

    Heard this on Sirius First Wave the other day and was blown away - and amazed I never heard of them - I'm am an 80's music freak :) it sounds to me more early 80's new wave and was again surprised this was released in the late 80's - awesome tune with great melodies - it almost sounds like a mix between the psychedelic furs and Ultravox - downloaded the whole album today - it's really good! But this track is really a stand out.

    One of the best songs and music video ever invented!! I don’t understand why The Ocean blue is so underrated they were actually pioneers of a new music style in the 90’s in fact they inaugurated the 90’s decade of music by introducing 90’s new wave rock style!
