Oceans

Artist: Coldplay

Wait for your call, love

The call never came

Ready to fall, love

Ready to claim

I’m ready for it all, love

I’m ready for a pain

Meet under sun

Meet me again

In the rain

In the rain

In the rain

The rain

Behind the walls, love

I’m trying to change

And I’m ready for it all, love

I’m ready for a change

Meet under blue sky

Meet me again

In the rain

The rain, the rain

In the rain

The rain

Got to find yourself alone in this world

You’ve got to find yourself alone

Background

“Oceans” is a song by British alternative rock band Coldplay. It is the seventh track from their sixth studio album, “Ghost Stories.” The song is predominantly played with an acoustic guitar and a steady electronic drum beat, with a light orchestra accompanying the song towards the end. Its lyrics, which share the same motif as the rest of the songs featured on “Ghost Stories,” deal with a troubled relationship. There’s hardly a hook to be found, but it’s a lovely, slightly forlorn sway of a song, with an acoustic guitar anchoring Chris Martin’s meandering falsetto amidst some swirling atmospherics. It was first performed by the band during their appearance on BBC Radio 1’s “Live Lounge” program April 23, 2014, alongside another song “Magic.”
