No. 499 - "Drifting, Falling" by The Ocean Blue -- third single off Hershey, PA band's debut self-titled album is a modern rock classic from 1990
Chart Status - peaked at No. 10 on Billboard's Modern Rock Tracks.
PCI - little to none. The band toured relentlessly through 1994 and continue to play shows and intermittenly release EPs through their website, http://www.theoceanblue.com/. Many are surprised to learn the band is not English, despite the clear influences of the Smiths, New Order, and Echo & the Bunnymen. The thing about this song is that its simple melody and lilting vocal line gets me everytime. Perfect slice of alterna-pop.
