The group's initial success was aided in part by popular trance musicians remixing their original work. The first single to be released in 2001 was the song "Clear Blue Water" which was remixed by several artists, but the most successful remix was done by Ferry Corsten. The second single "Sky Falls Down" was released in 2002 and remixed by Armin van Buuren. The third single "Beautiful Together" was released in 2003 and was remixed by Seraque, Silvester and Signum. The single that is considered to be their break-through track is "Satellite" their fourth single which was released in 2004.
On 24 August 2007 "Breaking Ties" (Above & Beyond's Analog Haven Mix), was featured on TATW #178. Audio footage of "Breaking Ties" started to surface on YouTube around October 2007. On 1 November 2007, Miracle also appeared on YouTube. Although this was given as the title on the Above & Beyond official forum, at the time the title was unconfirmed.
McGuinness and Siljamäki of OceanLab discussed the album during an interview in Riga, Latvia: We've been experimenting with a completely new sound - one of the tracks we're working on right now features a 56 piece mouse choir. We went diving in Formentera too to record some noises from the dolphins.
On 14 March 2008, "Sirens of the Sea" (Above & Beyond Club Mix) premiered on TATW #207. It was presented as one of the new singles for the upcoming album. Prior to this, "Sirens of the Sea" (Kyau & Albert Remix) was released on Above and Beyond's Anjunabeats Volume 3.
On 7 April 2008, the single "Sirens of the Sea" was released. New remixes by Sonorous, Cosmic Gate, as well as the Kyau & Albert remix were included. Also included was a .WAV file of Maor Levi's remix of "Sirens of the Sea".
On 10 June 2008, OceanLab's debut album - Sirens of the Sea - was announced on the Anjunabeats website with a release date of 21 July 2008. The single, "Miracle", appeared a week earlier on 14 July 2008. Included in the single are Above and Beyond's Club Mix of tracks, as well as remixes by Martin Roth, Michael Cassette and Fletch. The "Sirens of the Sea Remixed" album released in 2009 includes the most successful remixes of OceanLab's three most popular tracks that had only been released as singles - Satellite, Sky Falls Down and Clear Blue Water.
On 30 January 2014, McGuinness and Siljamäki confirmed via Reddit that the artist name OceanLab would no longer be used on future productions, with Justine Suissa now being identified as a part of Above & Beyond.
On 26 September 2015, however, Above & Beyond featured a new surprise Oceanlab production at ABGT150 in Sydney, Australia. The title of this new trance single is Another Chance.

Come Home
Oceanlab Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Not just walk through, and leave me here
You leave a note and think that it's a clean break
No more heartache, you made that clear
I wish that I could back track
Stop time and turn the clocks back
Unpack your bag whilst waving the flag
Come home
You know I didn't mean to say the things I said
Come home
Don't leave me here with all these thoughts inside my head
Come home
You know I didn't mean to say the things I said
Come home
Don't leave me here with all these thoughts inside my head
Rewind the lines and find the hidden meanings
Ten more screenings, of our last fight
Sitting alone and knowing that I need you
As I remember, our first night
I wish that I could back track
Stop time and turn the clocks back
Unpack your bag whilst waving the flag
To keep you close to me
Come home
You know I didn't mean to say the things I said
Come home
Don't leave me here with all these thoughts inside my head
Come home
You know I didn't mean to say the things I said
Come home
Don't leave me here with all these thoughts inside my head
Running away from the truth this time
And I wish that you knew what you left behind
When you were running away
And you left me out of my mind
Running away from the truth this time
And I wish that you knew what you left behind
When you were running away
And you left me out of my mind
Come home
You know I didn't mean to say the things I said
Come home
Don't leave me here with all these thoughts inside my head
Come home
You know I didn't mean to say the things I said
Come home
Don't leave me here with all these thoughts inside my head
Come home
You know I didn't mean to say the things I said
Come home
Don't leave me here with all these thoughts inside my head
Come home
You know I didn't mean to say the things I said
Come home
Don't leave me here with all these thoughts inside my head
The lyrics of Oceanlab's "Come Home" describe a bittersweet plea for forgiveness and a desire for the return of a loved one. The singer is remorseful for having said hurtful things and wishes they could go back in time to fix their mistakes. They long for the return of their partner and express their sadness and loneliness without them. The lyrics are filled with regret and convey the idea that communication is key in any relationship.
The lines "Not just walk through, and leave me here / You leave a note and think that it's a clean break / No more heartache, you made that clear" portray the abrupt and painfulness of a breakup. The phrase "Come home" is repeated throughout the song as a plea for the person to return and work through their issues.
The verses of the song reference the couple's past fights and the deep connection they once had, while the choruses express the hope that their love can be salvaged. The song is not just about heartbreak and loss, but also about the power of second chances and reconciliation.
Line by Line Meaning
I don't know why you feel we can't just talk through
I don't understand why we can't have an open conversation
Not just walk through, and leave me here
Instead of just walking out on me
You leave a note and think that it's a clean break
You wrote me a note and thought it would be enough to end things
No more heartache, you made that clear
You made it clear that you wanted to end things and not cause any more pain
I wish that I could back track
I really wish I could go back in time
Stop time and turn the clocks back
If only I could freeze time and go back to a happier time
Unpack your bag whilst waving the flag
I would do anything to convince you to stay
To keep you close to me
I want to keep you in my life
Come home
Please come back
You know I didn't mean to say the things I said
I said some hurtful things, but I didn't mean them
Don't leave me here with all these thoughts inside my head
I can't handle the thought of you being gone, please come back
Rewind the lines and find the hidden meanings
If I could go back and analyze our conversations, I might find some clues
Ten more screenings, of our last fight
I keep replaying our last fight over and over
Sitting alone and knowing that I need you
I am sitting here alone, realizing that I can't live without you
As I remember, our first night
Going back to the beginning, when everything was perfect
Running away from the truth this time
You left because you didn't want to face the reality of our situation
And I wish that you knew what you left behind
I want you to realize what you are giving up by leaving
When you were running away
You left in a hurry, without thinking things through
And you left me out of my mind
Your departure has driven me to madness
