1) The Horrors is a psychedelic/garage rock/post-punk band which formed in 2006 in Southend-on-Sea, Essex, England, United Kingdom. The band consists of Faris Badwan (vocals), Joshua Hayward (guitar), Tom Cowan (keyboards), Rhys Webb (bass) and Joseph Spurgeon (drums). The band has released four full-length albums: 2007's Strange House, 2009's Primary Colours, 2011's Skying and 2014's Luminous.
Formed by ace faces of the East London and Southend-on-Sea angular scene in 2006, The Horrors have released twelve singles, three albums, and an EP in the US. They have been featured on the front cover of the NME, despite their singles being so limited that they are now considered collector's items.
After releasing several singles they released their debut album, Strange House, in 2007. Strange House is primarily a garage rock album with elements of horror punk, and the album contains several of the Horrors' previous singles. They made a number of festival appearances throughout 2007 to support the album, including appearances at Glastonbury, Reading and Leeds, various Scandinavian festivals, the Summer Sonic Festival in Japan, and the Splendour in the Grass Festival in Australia. They have also supported the Arctic Monkeys.
The follow-up to Strange House, 2009's Primary Colours, marked a major change of direction away from garage rock to shoegaze and post-punk. The album was met with critical acclaim and was announced as one of the twelve albums shortlisted for the year's Mercury Prize award, along with being named the best album of 2009 by the NME. The Horrors took to the road to support the album, including slots at Reading and Leeds, Glastonbury, Hurricane Festival, T in the Park, the Underage Festival, and many others. In addition, the band opened for The Kills, Nine Inch Nails, and Placebo, and played a string of headline dates across America and Europe. The Horrors returned in 2011 with their third album, Skying, and were announced again for major festivals including Glastonbury and Reading/Leeds. In addition to this, the band are embarking on their largest headline UK tour to date, including a homecoming show in Southend-on-Sea.
2) A garage rock/punk band from Cedar Rapids, Iowa, which formed in 1997 and broke up in 2003. They released two albums, The Horrors (2000) and Vent (2003). Singer/guitarist Paul Cary recently released his debut album, Ghost of a Man, on Candy Dinner Records in 2010.
3) An American psychedelic rock group active in the 1960s, best known for their single "Briar Patch".

Oceans Burning
by The Horrors
In the orchard we see you once again
Listening only with the sunlight in your arms
It's a change to see you in my world again
Only visiting but happy anyway
It's a joy
To see you waiting there
Lit up, left glowing in the air
It's a joy
To know you're waiting there
Writing letters, left burning in the air
In the picture we see you once again
Still leaning with the sunlight on your arms
Then the life sent itself into the air
Until someone came upon the frozen stare
It's a joy
To see you waiting there
Lit up, left glowing in the air
It's a joy
To know you're waiting there
Writing letters, left burning in the air
Bringing all wonders to light
Bringing all wonders to light
Like an ocean
Life that overcomes
Like an ocean
Likely follows right behind
The only one
On a lonely ship, we are
Waking like an ocean which is sighing oh
Even when I told you were wrong
Turns out you were right all along
Hold me open when I am with you
Hold me open when I am with you
You know it's gone
You see me run
As if to hide
There on a lonely ship, filled full
Of an ocean which is burning oh
Melt together when I am with you
Held together when I am with you
We had it there
We had it there
I could have sworn
Turns out you were right all along
