"Edge of the Ocean" is a song by the American band Ivy for their third studio album, Long Distance (2000). Lead singer Dominique Durand wrote the song with band members Adam Schlesinger and Andy Chase, who both produced it. It was released as the album's lead single in the United States in June 2001, through Nettwerk. Various physical singles were distributed throughout the following year, in addition to an adult alternative airplay release in the US. The song is an electronic-inspired trip hop pop ballad with minimal and simplistic lyrics. Durand's vocals were described as childlike and compared to those of Karen Carpenter. American musician Michael Hampton, a member of Durand and Chase's other band Paco, contributes to the track's instrumentation.
"Edge of the Ocean" has received generally positive reviews from music critics, who called it a highlight from Long Distance. Following Schlesinger's death in 2020, the song was revisited by critics and frequently labeled as one of his finest works. It became Ivy's only single to chart, reaching number 160 on the UK Singles Chart and number 86 in Scotland. An accompanying music video for "Edge of the Ocean" was released in 2001 and directed by Schlesinger. It features Ivy relaxing at the beach and singing along to the song. "Edge of the Ocean" was featured in various television advertising campaigns, including for Holland America in 2002 and American Airlines in 2011, and has since been referred to as Ivy's signature song.
Background and release
Following the release of their second studio album, Apartment Life, in 1997, Ivy was dropped from their record label Atlantic, and signed to 550 Music.{{cite magazine |title=Billboard Bits: Ivy, Backstreet Boys, Company Flow |url=https://www.billboard.com/articles/news/80554/billboard-bits-ivy-backstreet-boys-company-flow |access-date=January 18, 2021 |magazine=Billboard |date=February 20, 2001 |archive-date=October 5, 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171005063311/http://www.billboard.com/articles/news/80554/billboard-bits-ivy-backstreet-boys-company-flow |url-status=live }} Around the same time, the band's New York City recording studio burned down and was replaced with a new one, founded by Schlesinger and other member Andy Chase.{{cite magazine |last1=Verna |first1=Paul |title=Pro Audio: With a Neve 8068, The Place Upgrades To The Stratosphere |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=9AwEAAAAMBAJ |magazine=Billboard |date=June 19, 1999 |volume=111 |issue=25 |page=46 |access-date=January 18, 2021 |issn=0006-2510 |archive-date=April 22, 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170422122744/https://books.google.com/books?id=9AwEAAAAMBAJ |url-status=live }}{{cite news |last1=Rabid |first1=Jack |title=Ivy – Long Distance |url=https://www.allmusic.com/album/long-distance-mw0000589695 |access-date=January 18, 2021 |publisher=AllMusic |archive-date=October 21, 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171021112114/https://www.allmusic.com/album/long-distance-mw0000589695 |url-status=live }} After reissuing Apartment Life, member Adam Schlesinger released his second studio album with American band Fountains of Wayne, Utopia Parkway (1999). The album commercially underperformed, resulting in a second release from Atlantic and Schlesinger resuming work with Ivy.{{cite news |last1=Holmes |first1=Dave |title=Adam Schlesinger Fully Understood How – and Why – to Write a Pop Song |url=https://www.esquire.com/entertainment/music/a32012344/adam-schlesinger-dead-obit-tribute-fountains-of-wayne-songs/ |access-date=January 17, 2021 |work=Esquire |date=April 2, 2020 |archive-date=September 24, 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200924155309/https://www.esquire.com/entertainment/music/a32012344/adam-schlesinger-dead-obit-tribute-fountains-of-wayne-songs/ |url-status=live }}
"Edge of the Ocean" first appeared on Long Distance, as the album's third track, which was initially released in Japan on November 8, 2000.{{cite AV media notes |title=Long Distance |others=Ivy |year=2000 |type=liner notes |edition=Promotional cassette |location=Japan |publisher=East West Japan |id=AMCY-7210 }}{{cite web |title=Ivy – ロング・ディスタンス |url=https://wmg.jp/ivy/discography/1928/ |publisher=Warner Music Japan |access-date=January 18, 2021 |language=Japanese |archive-date=September 3, 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190903215203/https://wmg.jp/ivy/discography/1928/ |url-status=live }} It also appears on a Nettwerk-sponsored sampler album that was handed out during Coldplay's Parachutes Tour concert series in 2001. The song was written by Schlesinger, Chase, and Durand, while the production was handled by the latter two artists. Ivy recorded the song at Stratosphere Sound in New York City while mastering occurred at nearby Sony Music Studios and was handled by Vlado Meller. Schlesinger and Chase both are credited as mixers on the song and, additionally, Chase engineered the track with assistance from Geoff Sanoff.{{cite AV media notes |title=Long Distance |others=Ivy |year=2000 |type=liner notes |edition=CD |location=Japan |publisher=East West Japan |id=AMCY-7210 }}
Chosen as the album's lead single in the United States, "Edge of the Ocean" was released in various formats as a single.{{cite news |last1=Moss |first1=Corey |title=They Might Be Produced by Fountains of Wayne |url=http://www.mtv.com/news/1442757/they-might-be-produced-by-fountains-of-wayne/ |access-date=January 18, 2021 |publisher=MTV |date=April 12, 2001 |archive-date=January 18, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210118192305/http://www.mtv.com/news/1442757/they-might-be-produced-by-fountains-of-wayne/ |url-status=dead }} In June 2001, when Ivy's cover of the Blow Monkeys' "Digging Your Scene" was sent to US modern rock radio stations as a single, "Edge of the Ocean" and Long Distance track "Disappointed" were distributed to adult alternative radio stations in the US for airplay. The US then received a limited edition, individually numbered 10" vinyl release, which occurred on July 10, 2001. It features an alternate version of "Hideaway" as the B-side and their previously unreleased cover of Steely Dan's "Only a Fool Would Say That" (1972). An extended play for "Edge of the Ocean" was distributed in the United Kingdom and released by Nettwerk. The promotional version was released in 2001, while the commercial versions were released on May 27, 2002 on 12" vinyl and compact discs; it features the Alpha's 'On the Beach' Mix, DuoTone Mix, Analog Bronca Mix, and album versions of "Edge of the Ocean" in two different orders, depending on the release. Also in 2002, the Filterheadz Dub Mix of the song was released as a 12" promotional single in the UK. Nettwerk digitally released the EP and Filterheadz Dub Mix to music retailers on July 19, 2011.{{cite news |title=Ivy – Edge of the Ocean (Digital Download – Nettwerk) |url=https://www.allmusic.com/album/release/edge-of-the-ocean-mr0003883610 |access-date=January 18, 2021 |publisher=AllMusic |archive-date=January 18, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210118192306/https://www.allmusic.com/album/release/edge-of-the-ocean-mr0003883610 |url-status=live }}{{cite news |title=Ivy – Edge of the Ocean [Filterheadz Dub Mix] (Digital Download – Nettwerk) |url=https://www.allmusic.com/album/release/edge-of-the-ocean-filterheadz-dub-mix-mr0003880281 |access-date=January 18, 2021 |publisher=AllMusic |archive-date=January 18, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210118192320/https://www.allmusic.com/album/release/edge-of-the-ocean-filterheadz-dub-mix-mr0003880281 |url-status=live }}
Composition and lyrics
Musically, "Edge of the Ocean" is a "shimmering [and] contemporary" electronic-inspired trip hop pop ballad.{{cite news |last1=Tannenbaum |first1=Rob |title=Adam Schlesinger's 30 Essential Songs |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/02/arts/music/adam-schlesinger-songs.html |access-date=January 17, 2021 |work=The New York Times |date=April 2, 2020 |archive-date=December 29, 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201229093451/https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/02/arts/music/adam-schlesinger-songs.html |url-status=live }}{{cite news |last1=Dix |first1=Noel |title=Ivy – Long Distance |url=http://exclaim.ca/music/article/ivy-long_distance |access-date=January 17, 2021 |work=Exclaim! |date=August 31, 2001 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160124112234/http://exclaim.ca/music/article/ivy-long_distance |archive-date=January 24, 2016}} In a 2011 interview with Magnet, Chase explained that the song balances "between the uplifting music and the bittersweet lyric," which he stated was also his preferred musical style.{{cite news |last1=Adams |first1=Sam |title=Q&A with Ivy |url=http://magnetmagazine.com/2011/09/26/qa-with-ivy/ |access-date=January 17, 2021 |work=Magnet |date=September 26, 2011 |archive-date=January 9, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210109225943/http://magnetmagazine.com/2011/09/26/qa-with-ivy/ |url-status=live }} He continued, saying that while writing the song, they tried "to go 100 percent" with creating a lyrical balance that "[came] from a specific place and yet remain[ed] general, even vague, enough that they can apply to anyone". In his weekly musical column, Bradford Brady from Star-News called Durand's vocals "haunting" and compared them to American singer Karen Carpenter.{{cite journal |last1=Brady |first1=Bradford |title=Music: Lynyrd Skynyrd needles Neil Young |journal=Star-News |date=February 27, 2003 |page=46 |url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1454&dat=20030227&id=DrgsAAAAIBAJ&sjid=gh8EAAAAIBAJ&pg=3712,3003807&hl=en |issn=1937-4100}} Chuck Campbell, writing for the same publication, called the chorus shimmering and described Durand's vocals as childlike.{{cite journal |last1=Campbell |first1=Chuck |title=Ivy's latest, Long Distance |journal=Star-News |date=August 20, 2001 |page=127 |url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1454&dat=20010820&id=nqY0AAAAIBAJ&pg=6854,4260772&hl=en |issn=1937-4100 |access-date=January 18, 2021 |archive-date=January 18, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210118192320/https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1454&dat=20010820&id=nqY0AAAAIBAJ&pg=6854%2C4260772&hl=en |url-status=live }} Tom Topkoff from Hybrid magazine referred to "Edge of the Ocean" as a "captivating and escapist tune" that sets the album's tone.{{cite news |last1=Topkoff |first1=Tom |title=Ivy – Long Distance |url=http://www.hybridmagazine.com/reviews/1001/ivy.shtml |access-date=January 17, 2021 |work=Hybrid |archive-date=January 11, 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170111081551/http://www.hybridmagazine.com/reviews/1001/ivy.shtml |url-status=live }}
According to its sheet music, "Edge of the Ocean" is set in the time signature of common time, and has a moderate tempo of 96 beats per minute. The song is composed in the key of D-flat major and it follows the setup of an instrumental intro, followed by two verses, each succeeded by a chorus and another intro. The first verse begins using the chord progressions of G♭–E♭m–D♭–G♭, which are replicated during the other verses and choruses; during the pre-chorus and bridge, the progressions transition to a E♭m–D♭–G♭–G♭ structure.{{cite book |last1=Chase |first1=Andy |last2=Durand |first2=Dominique |last3=Schlesinger |first3=Adam |authorlink1=Andy Chase |authorlink3=Adam Schlesinger |title=Edge Of The Ocean: Sheet Music, Lyrics by Ivy |date=2001 |publisher=Nettwerk}} American musicians Jeremy Freeman and fellow Paco member Michael Hampton are credited with providing additional loops and sounds to the song. The lyrics to "Edge of the Ocean" are rather simple, and were described as romantic.{{cite web |last1=Baron |first1=Lena |title=Roswell Soundtrack |url=http://www.crashdown.com/music/soundtrack.php |website=Crashdown |access-date=January 18, 2021 |archive-date=April 22, 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160422090418/http://www.crashdown.com/music/soundtrack.php |url-status=live }} Durand opens the song explaining: "There's a place I dream about / Where the sun never goes out"; the chorus contains more minimalistic lyrics, with Durand harmonizing to "sha la la la la la la" repeatedly.
Reception and promotion

"Edge of the Ocean" has received generally favorable reviews from music critics. Noel Dix from Exclaim liked it and album tracks "Worry About You" and "While We're in Love" for "com[ing] across as genuine rather than a pop band trying to cross over to the electronic scene". A reviewer from Resonance magazine provided a positive review of the song, calling it "a cool summer song", while a critic from The Boston Globe labeled it as a gem on Long Distance.{{cite journal |title=Long Distance – Ivy |journal=Resonance |date=2001 |issue=32 |page=60 |issn=1352-772X }}{{cite news |title=CD Pick: Ivy – Long Distance |url=https://www.newspapers.com/image/442171971/ |access-date=February 21, 2021 |work=The Boston Globe |date=January 3, 2002 |page=100 |via=Newspapers.com}} In 2014, Mashable featured "Edge of the Ocean" on a list of "21 Songs to Help You Keep Calm".{{cite web |last1=Finnegan |first1=Connor |title=21 Songs to Help You Keep Calm |url=https://mashable.com/2014/06/23/music-monday-keep-calm-spotify-playlist/ |publisher=Mashable |access-date=January 17, 2021 |date=June 23, 2014 |archive-date=October 20, 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201020154038/https://mashable.com/2014/06/23/music-monday-keep-calm-spotify-playlist/ |url-status=live }} An AllMusic critic awarded the song 2.5 out of 5 stars in 2001.{{cite news |title=Ivy – Edge of the Ocean |url=https://www.allmusic.com/album/edge-of-the-ocean-mw0000532096 |access-date=January 17, 2021 |publisher=AllMusic |archive-date=May 9, 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130509160948/http://www.allmusic.com/album/edge-of-the-ocean-mw0000532096 |url-status=live }} In a negative review, a critic from Alternative Press grouped "Edge of the Ocean" with the tracks that are "improbably edgeless, all love-me-do/love-me-don't plaints that evaporate on impact" on Long Distance.{{cite journal |title=Long Distance Review |journal=Alternative Press |date=September 2001 |page=91 |issn=1065-1667}} Following Schlesinger's death in 2020, several critics re-analyzed his discography retrospectively. Rob Tannenbaum from The New York Times compiled a list of his 30 most essential songs; "Edge of the Ocean" was Schlesinger's only Ivy song to appear on the list, and Tannenbaum described it as a highlight on Long Distance.
Following the song's release in the United Kingdom in 2002, "Edge of the Ocean" became the group's first and only single to reach the Official Charts Company's UK Singles Chart. For the issue dated June 15, 2002, the song entered the chart at number 160 and fell off the following week.{{cite web|title=I Am Arrows – Laura Izibor|url=http://zobbel.de/cluk/CLUK_I.HTM|publisher=The Official Charts Company|access-date=May 4, 2016|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160303210145/http://zobbel.de/cluk/CLUK_I.HTM|archive-date=March 3, 2016}} It also charted in Scotland in August 2008, debuting at number 86.

He explained: "At our level, this commercial can mean the difference between making our next album or not. Now, maybe there's people who look at us and that as a sellout. But I pose the question, would you rather hear another Ivy record or never hear another record again but we won't do any commercials?"{{cite web |title=October 2002 Interview with Ivy |url=http://www.indiespinzone.com/bands/ivy.html |website=SpinZone |access-date=January 18, 2021 |date=October 2002 |archive-date=January 11, 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170111094211/http://www.indiespinzone.com/bands/ivy.html |url-status=live }}
An accompanying music video for "Edge of the Ocean" was filmed and directed by Schlesinger. It was released in 2001 and was the second video developed for Long Distance, after the release of "Lucy Doesn't Love You" in 2000.{{cite web |title=Videos |url=http://thebandivy.com/videos/ |publisher=Ivy |access-date=January 18, 2021 |archive-date=June 8, 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200608160422/http://thebandivy.com/videos/ |url-status=live }} The "Edge of the Ocean" clip features the usage of the shorter Duotone Mix, as opposed to the album version. The video begins with Durand casually walking around a sandy beach and occasionally lip syncing to the song. Location shots of nearby boats, cliffs and landscape are interwoven with scenes of Durand, Schlesinger, and Chase adventuring oceanside.{{cite AV media |people=Schlesinger, Adam (director) |date=2001 |title=Edge of the Ocean |medium=Music video |location=United States }}
