Ocean Avenue was Yellowcard 's breakthrough single. This song is the second single from '' Ocean Avenue '' and the third track. It is known for bringing them into the mainstream, as it received numerous spins on MTV and increasing radio airplay. Ocean Avenue is a street in Jacksonville , the band's formative stomping grounds, which they left behind when they moved to LA . According to former guitarist Ben Harper, ''Ocean Avenue'' is written about Jacksonville . "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, before we moved to California." {Link without Title} TRACK LISTING #Ocean Avenue #Way Away (Acoustic Version) #Firewater MUSIC VIDEO The music video portrays Yellowcard frontman Ryan Key facing fate in different ways and starting over again (very much like the 1998 German film Run Lola Run ). It had enough of a storyline to become a TRL favorite, reaching #1 on the countdown. The video also received 'Best Music Video' at the 2004 MTV2 Video Music Awards. The video contains an homage to Brand New 's video for Sic Transit Gloria... Glory Fades . The suitcase featured in the Ocean Avenue video has the same logo of a lamb on it as is featured in the Brand New video. This is because the videos were directed by Marc Webb, who used the lamb in his videos only to show that he directed them. The suitcase also features in the video to Rough Landing, Holly . |
