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.

Lonely Girl
Oceanlab Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Listening to my heart beat
Wondering how to say it
Playing over one track
Wanting you to come back
Want to have you here
Lying on a cold sheet
Drive down to the river
Nightlight is reflecting
Somehow I'm expecting
Your voice in my ear
I wish that I could tell you
I wish that I could tell you
I wish that I could tell you
All the things that you do
Come back 'cause I'm gonna be a lonely girl again
Come back 'cause I'm gonna be a lonely girl
Come back 'cause I'm gonna be a lonely girl again
Come back 'cause I'm gonna be a lonely girl
Lying in the long grass
Watching as the clouds pass
Hands held in silence
Your arms right around me
Feeling glad you found me
Feeling like I'm home
Wish you would remember
April to September
Wanting to be near me
Waiting for the sunrise
Staring into my eyes
You and I alone
I wish that I could tell you
I wish that I could tell you
I wish that I could tell you
All the things that you do
Come back 'cause I'm gonna be a lonely girl again
Come back 'cause I'm gonna be a lonely girl
Come back 'cause I'm gonna be a lonely girl again
Come back 'cause I'm gonna be a lonely girl
Lie back in my own dream
Playback on a big screen
You and me together
Why give up a love found
Wish that I could write down
What you mean to me
I wish that I could tell you
I wish that I could tell you
I wish that I could tell you
All the things that you do
Come back 'cause I'm gonna be a lonely girl again
Come back 'cause I'm gonna be a lonely girl
Come back 'cause I'm gonna be a lonely girl again
Come back 'cause I'm gonna be a lonely girl
(So lonely, so lonely, so lonely, so lonely)
Was it so wrong
You know you said you loved me
Could it be so easy
Just to walk away
Was it so wrong
You know you said you loved me
Could it be so easy
Just to walk away
The lyrics to Oceanlab's song "Lonely Girl" describe the feelings of a girl who is missing someone she loves and wants them to come back to her. The song starts with the girl staring at the top sheet and listening to her own heartbeat as she tries to figure out how to express her emotions. She then drives down to the river where she's expecting to hear the person's voice in her ear. She wishes she could tell them how much they mean to her and how much she misses them. She knows that she will be a lonely girl again if they don't come back.
In the next verse, the girl is lying in the long grass with the person she loves as they watch the clouds pass. She feels glad that he found her and feels like she's home when she's with him. She wishes he could remember the time they spent together from April to September and that he wanted to be near her. She stares into his eyes as they are alone together. The feeling of loneliness is repeated in the chorus along with a refrain begging the person to come back. The song ends with the girl wondering how the person could walk away so easily after saying they loved her.
Overall, "Lonely Girl" is a powerful song about love and loss. The lyrics convey the deep emotions that come with missing someone and the desire to have them come back. The song is a reminder that true love is worth fighting for and that when someone walks away, it can be hard to let go.

Why can't Above and Beyond make more music like this with OceanLab?!?! They're just perfect for each other!!
@razor282
Justine's voice is an absolute opiate. What a bass line too. I could listen non stop and have been for 6 hrs.
@paulgeorge3615
Old and good A&B! Never forget!
@DarianZG
Big fan of A&B and Oceanlab, this track just reinforced why I love them so much. Seeing A&B live have always been some of the best events I've ever been to. Always surrounded with close friends throughout the raucous night, no regrets, and just aimless bliss.
@unavailableuser32615
I felt in love with Hardstyle music back in the days but I came back to hear this epic Trance music that I used to listen before that. It's so nostalgic.
