Prior to his success as Aqualung, Hales was known as the lead singer of mid-1990s, London-based Britpop band Ruth. Ruth had a string of moderately successful hit singles, including "I Don't Know," "Valentine's Day," and "Fear of Flying," and one album, "Harrison," before changing their name in 2001 to The 45's. As The 45s, the band released two more singles and one posthumous album to little attention before splitting so Hales could focus on his new endeavor as Aqualung. Almost immediately after the band's split, "Strange and Beautiful" began climbing the British charts and gaining massive amounts of attention--a dramatic turnabout from the previous year. In 2005, Aqualung would even achieve elusive success in the United States, where they are best known for the song "Brighter Than Sunshine", which had considerable airplay and was used in the film A Lot Like Love and various television spots. He's also known to some for his song, "Easier to Lie", which was featured on the hit television show, Scrubs. His music also went on to feature in another hit television show the OC. His song, "Strange and Beautiful" was also featured on the hit show CSI. Later, the song "Something To Believe In" was also featured at the ending of an episode of CSI: Miami. It was also featured in the movie "Wicker Park". "The Lake" was also featured on the wildly popular television show Grey's Anatomy. Aqualung has also had songs featured on One Tree Hill in various seasons. In 2009, his song "Easier to Lie" was again featured on a television show, this time Lie To Me.
It has been written that Hales took the name "Aqualung" from a Jethro Tull album of the same name. However, he himself says he was not aware of this album, and that it was descriptive of the underwater feeling he felt listening to his debut album.
His debut single, "Strange and Beautiful (I'll Put a spell on You)", was released in the UK on the B-Unique label on September 16, 2002, and reached number 7 in the UK Top 40 and was used in the film Wicker Park.
The song "Something To Believe In" from the album "Memory Man" was used during the ending of the former ABC show Eli Stone premiered on Jan 31, 2008.
The song "Good Times Gonna Come" has recently been used on the show Skins on the British channel E4.
On April 20th, 2010 Aqualung released his 6th studio album Magnetic North (2010). The first single released is a song called "Fingertip".

Aqualung Lyrics
God and his priests and his kings
All were waiting
All will wait
As they go over
Held between heaven and hell
As they're dancing
As they dance
Over and over
Over
Cold
Cold
Crimson and bare as I stand
Yours completely
Yours
As we go over
Sing for the lion and lamb
Their hearts a-hunting
Still hearts hold
Ever and ever
Ever
Cold
Cold
God and his priests and his kings
Turn their faces
Even they feel the
Cold
What you are giving
Can't be forgotten
And never forsaken
What you are giving
Can't be forgotten
And never forsaken
What you are giving
Can't be forgotten
And never forsaken
Cold
All were waiting
All will wait
As they go over
Held between heaven and hell
As they're dancing
As they dance
Over and over
Over
Cold
Cold
Crimson and bare as I stand
Yours completely
Yours
As we go over
Sing for the lion and lamb
Their hearts a-hunting
Still hearts hold
Ever and ever
Ever
Cold
Cold
God and his priests and his kings
Turn their faces
Even they feel the
Cold
What you are giving
Can't be forgotten
And never forsaken
What you are giving
Can't be forgotten
And never forsaken
What you are giving
Can't be forgotten
And never forsaken
Cold

Held between heaven and hell
As they're dancing,
As they dance over and over

Cold
Cold
Crimson and bare as I stand
Yours completely,
Yours as we go over
Sing for the lion and lamb
Their hearts are hunting
Still hunts hope ever and ever
Ever
Cold
Cold
God and His priests and His kings
Turn their faces
Even they feel the cold
What you are given
Can't be forgotten
And never forsaken
What you are given
Can't be forgotten
And never forsaken
What you are given
Can't be forgotten
Cold

People can say what they want about the bath scene, coz that bath scene was something else. Two actors who didn’t even need to open their mouths to portray the absolute heartbreak of both characters. Watching your wife deteriorate and feeling like she chooses it instead of you. Feeling like you poisoned her and it’s all your own fault. Her, feeling all alone in the world. Rosalie her only Allie. The love of your life, the father of your child can barely stand to look at you and when he does it’s with shameful regret. I could feel that in one simple look through a mirror. That’s damn good acting.
