Stealing Oceans “Blueprint” Launches Today
From the ranks of Nashville Unsigned’s Class 5, Stealing Oceans is back! They return bearing gifts of big beats and truthful lyrics that blast love and positivity with the release of “Blueprint”. The single marks the first release from Stealing Oceans’ new EP “Let The Kids Play” (launching early 2018).
Frontman Brian Thompson explains, “Blueprint is about the journey and the internal struggle one goes through to be happy and fulfilled. It’s about conditioning your mind to be grateful every day you wake up. It is common for people to think they need to be doing something else in order to seek the happiness they are striving for, but when you stop and look around, you realize that you’re in the moment, alive and breathing and that’s something to be grateful for!”
Brian inspires us by pwning the struggles in his life. Battling the age old vices of alcohol and depression, Brian has succeeded in turning the broken pieces into something positive. Often times people are distracted by the worries and stresses of everyday life and forget to simply LIVE in the moment. Like the delicate kiss of the wind, a spontaneous trip, or a one man dance party, “Blueprint” reminds us of the joys the small things can offer.
May I Borrow Your Blueprint?
No two lives will travel the same path. Every individual’s road to happiness is custom cut and altogether unique. Stealing Oceans reminds us that attempting to carbon copy another’s journey to success leads to nowhere. But there are some tools that are helpful for everyone. One such tool is gratitude. Recognizing and celebrating all the small things we are given each day will give rise to a lighter soul. By attempting to swerve the burden of yesterday and the fear of tomorrow we are left well equipped to truly experience today. And today is all we ever have. SKIRRT! Hey, Pain, you can’t sit with us.
That Band Tho!
Stealing Oceans is made up of front man Brian Thompson, Ryan Swinehart (saxophone), Pat Graves (bass), David Martin (Drums), and Sam Woods (Guitar). Combining unique elements of Jazz, Soul, and Hip Hop, Stealing Oceans claim their lane in the industry. The band collectively creates one of the most interactive shows Nashville Unsigned has witnessed. Demanding the energy levels akin to bands such as Cage The Elephant, Awolnation, and Colony House, Stealing Oceans delivers something truly special at their concerts. Joining the audience from the stage, singing from a head stand or the shoulders of a bandmate, and a backflipping bassist are just some of the unforgettable hype the audience experiences. Each time we’ve caught a live performance we have been left in show shock ( NU Glossary term).
