The name Seafret, as well as being a pun on the guitar fret board, is also a local term for the two boys; it applies to the rolling mists that come in off the North Sea during summer. Now living in London, the sea is what the duo miss the most.
First meeting at an open mic night around 2011, the two had distinctly different levels of experience. Though a few years younger, Harry Draper was an experienced local musician; Jack Sedman, meanwhile, had quite literally only just discovered his voice.
Seafret released their debut EP 'Give Me Something' on Sweet Jane Recordings on September 21st 2014. The ‘Give Me Something’ EP features five tracks, ‘Give Me Something’, ‘Explosion’, ‘Play With Guns’, ‘Did We Miss The Morning’ and an acoustic version of ‘Give Me Something’ that bookends the EP.

Oceans
Seafret Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yeah I want you
And nothing comes close
To the way that I need you
I wish I can feel your skin
And I want you
From somewhere within
Between me and you once again
We hide our emotions
Under the surface and tryin' to pretend
But it feels like there's oceans
Between you and me
I want you
And I always will
I wish I was worth
But I know what you deserve
You know I'd rather drown
Than to go on without you
But you're pulling me down
It feels like there's oceans
Between you and me once again
We hide our emotions
Under the surface and try to pretend
But it feels like there's oceans
Between you and me
I want you
I want you
And always will
It feels like there's oceans
Between you and me
The lyrics of Seafret's song Oceans express the intense longing and deep emotional connection between two people. The singer expresses his desire for the person he loves, emphasizing that nothing else comes close to the way he needs them. He longs to feel their skin, and to have them close to him, but it feels like there is a vast distance between them that cannot be bridged. They hide their emotions under the surface and try to pretend that everything is okay, but the singer cannot escape the feeling that there are oceans between him and his loved one.
The singer acknowledges that he may not be worthy of the person he loves, but he cannot help his unwavering feelings for them. He would rather drown than to live without them, but he feels like they are pulling him down instead of bringing him closer. Despite these challenges, the singer remains determined to hold onto his love for this person, saying that he always will.
Overall, the song explores the profound emotional connection that can exist between two people, even when there are challenges and distances that stand between them. The lyrics touch on themes of longing, desire, and the struggle to communicate and connect with those we care about deeply.

Sara Lopes Essa banda é ótima , musicas Indie em geral são maravilhosas ! , Pena que não são muito reconhecidos por boa parte das pessoas de meu convívio , eles me chamam de sentimental , de melancolico ... Pra mim eu só estou escutando algo que realmente vale a pena , algo que me faça sentir o que está sendo transmitido para o meu coração e isso é muito gratificante . Bandas como seafret , kodaline , sleeping at last , the kents que tem uma música que eu amo , chamada "something about her" ... depois dá uma olhada ... Música Indie é MT bom ♥️

Son increíbles, y esta canción me eriza piel. Porque se la dedique a alguien :') Los amo Seafret <3
im confused
I've had writer's block for the longest time now. Then I say Seafret and said, "Oh yeah! I remember them! I used to listen to them all the time when I would write." I clicked on Oceans and as soon as I heard the first note my writer's block just ended in a snap. Like seriously, I just want to write rn. So thank you, Seafret, for helping me get out of my that!
