"Versus the Ocean" stands for the many things we as people will face, whether they be expected or unexpected. There are so many things about the ocean that we don't know or understand, much like life. The possibilities are endless.

In life, at one point or another everyone will face some sort of adversity. In every new situation that comes along there can be many difficult experiences that follow. Every time you go through a new experience it's almost like dreaming. Your emotions get deeply involved in something that you are so unfamiliar with, that it feels like you are living through them in an altered state of mind. Versus the Ocean's debut full length album "If Only You Knew..." sends a clear message; keep your head above water, move forward, and grow stronger... Because the only other option is to be washed away into an ocean so vast it's nearly impossible to get out.

We do this for the pure love of people. Everyone goes through personal struggle, and if we can touch just a few of them with our music and help them grow stronger, then everything we've worked for is worth every single sacrifice that we've had to make to be in this band.
