"Ocean Avenue" is a song by American pop punk band Yellowcard. "Ocean Avenue" was released to radio on December 16, 2003.[2] It was released in February 2004 as the second single from the album Ocean Avenue. The song is notable for having launched the band into the mainstream, receiving numerous spins on MTV and heavy crossover airplay on alternative and mainstream radio. It was certified {{nowrap|2x Platinum}} by the RIAA.

The title and lyrics refer to a street in Jacksonville, Florida, the band's original stomping grounds.[3] The street is in close proximity to the band's high school, the Douglas Anderson School of the Arts,[4] as well as another street mentioned in the song, Cherry Street, in Neptune Beach.

The song was featured on the Much Music compilation album Big Shiny Tunes 9, and was also featured in Off The Rails.

Background

According to former guitarist Ben Harper, "Ocean Avenue" is written about Long Beach, CA. "It’s this place where we used to hang out in LB. Instead of talking about a girl, it’s talking about a scene and a feeling that we want to get back to: hanging out and writing, when we moved to California."[5]

Track listing

  1. "Ocean Avenue" – 3:18
  2. "Way Away" (Acoustic Version) – 3:47
  3. "Firewater" – 3:27

Music video

The music video depicts frontman Ryan Key facing his fate in different ways before starting over again using a time loop device (similar to that of the film Run Lola Run), each scenario beginning with Key waking face down on the sidewalk surrounded by broken glass, and ending with his fateful encounter with a 1969 Ford Mustang Mach 1. The video became a TRL favorite, reaching number 1 on the countdown, and later received the MTV2 Award at the 2004 MTV Video Music Awards.[6]

The briefcase featured in the video features adorned with a lamb symbol, the same symbol featured in the video for Brand New's "Sic Transit Gloria... Glory Fades". Both videos were directed by Marc Webb, who used the lamb as his trademark. The briefcase appeared again in video for Yellowcard's "Rough Landing, Holly", also directed by Webb.

This was the last music video to feature Alex Lewis as the band's bassist.
