Ocean Avenue is my favorite album! I bought it and love every song!
" 1. Way Away - This is their first single, and is a great song to kick off the CD. Its slightly harder sounding then previous songs, but its one of my favorites. It tells how the band moved out to California from the Jacksonville Fl. to provide more oppertunity for the band. Great lyrics throughout the whole song, and cd.
2. Breathing - Another slightly harder sound, but again, its awsome! The chorus will get stuck in your head for days (Thats a good thing!)
3. Ocean Avenue - This is one of the bst songs on the CD. It tells how the writer misses a former relationship. Again, the chorus is just amazing.
4. Empty Apartment - In this song you hear about a lost friend. Great Lyrics.
5. Life of a Salesman - About one of the band member's father. Not personally one of my favorites, but there are no bad songs on this cd.
6. Only One - Key, the song writer, talks about a recent break up. I can really relate to this song, and I'm willing to bet that almost everyone else can too. It's very heart felt.
7. Miles Apart - Key looks back on how he and his friends were seperated for a while after highschool. The violin is pretty cool on this song.
8. Twentythree - This song is incredible! Changing singers for the only song, this song is all about growing up and maturing in a way. Its awsome. Very catchy. One of the best on the CD.
9. View From Heaven - Done in a country style, this song is suprisingly catchy! The violin really adds to the country sound of course. The background vocals, done by the bass player, Alex's, sister Aliqia. Her voice really just sets off the song. It fits perfectly.
10. Inside Out - I don't have much to say about this song. Its probably my least favorite. I don't know why. Its not bad at all, just not as good as any of the others, thought the part where Key sings "The two of us" has a good sound to it.
11. Believe - Inspired by 9/11, this is a sentimental song, and you can almost feel the emotion. Its inspiring. I really like the lyrics on this song. Good melody too.
12. One Year, Six Months - This song is a good one. It slows down the pace of Ocean Ave. It really flows and has a good rhythm. Good song over all.
13. Back Home - This song tells us how maybe the east coast wasn't all that bad in reality. "Sometimes when you've gone out to do what you want to do, you miss what you left - home, security, friends, family, safety," explains Key. "We wanted to end the record with that kind of reflection." "

that's an overview I got from amazon.com
