Edge of the Ocean

About Edge of the Ocean

"Edge of the Ocean" is a song by American indie rock band Ivy. It was released as the third and final single from their third studio album, Long Distance (2000). It was made available as a CD single, 10", and 12" single in the United States on July 10, 2001, before being reissued internationally on May 27, 2002. "Edge of the Ocean" was released alongside Ivy's other single, "Disappointed", on the same day. The track was written by Dominique Durand, Adam Schlesinger and Andy Chase, while production was handled by the latter two. The track received general acclaim from music critics who highlighted it as a "standout" track. Stylistically different from Ivy's previous material, "Edge of the Ocean" is an indie pop and trip hop song with "romantic" lyrics. The song was featured on the soundtracks for several films, including Angel Eyes and Shallow Hal. The single was subsequently considered their signature song, including by Ivy themselves. A music video was filmed for "Edge of the Ocean" in 2001, featuring lead singer Durand walking around the beach with her bandmates. more »
