Falling between the energetic pop/rock of mod revival and the psychedelic experimentations of Traffic, Ocean Colour Scene came to be one of the leading bands of the traditionalist, post- OasisBritish rock of the mid-'90s. Although they had formed in the late '80s and had several hits during the height of Madchester in the early '90s, the band didn't earn a large following until 1996, when their second album, Moseley Shoals, became a multi-platinum success story in the U.K. Their ascent was greatly aided by Paul Wellerand Oasis' Noel Gallagher, both publicly praised Ocean Colour Scene for keeping the flame of real rock & roll burning during the '90s. And, according to one specific definition, they were right, since Ocean Colour Scene was nothing if not rock & roll traditionalists, drawing heavily from British Invasion pop, psychedelia, soul, R&B, and blues-rock to create a reverential homage to classic rock. Their devotion to trad rock may have earned them decidedly mixed reviews, but that was the very thing that earned them a sizable following.

July Lyrics
Ocean Colour Scene
Its warm outside
But I can hear the snow
Falling on my window
I had to go away
To somewhere deeper down
I know its my mistake
To take off out of this town
And june becomes july
This roads on fire
And my trains running slow
It rains against my window
I had to get away
To somewhere no-one knows
I know its my mistake
To take off now in this way
And june becomes july
The air is thin
When youre above the clouds
I see them from my window
Its strange to get away now
To somewhere no-one goes
I know its my mistake
But I dont even know now
And june becomes july
And june becomes july
