Oceans Will Rise
Oceans Will Rise is the third and final album by Montreal band The Stills, released August 19, 2008.
In late 2007, Toronto-based record label Arts & Crafts signed the band to a worldwide recording deal. Once again working with producer Gus van Go, The Stills' new material, beginning with the anthemic lead single, "Being Here", conveys a rejuvenated, reinvigorated sense of being.
According to vocalist Tim Fletcher, the group felt "a raw energy of inspiration" during the new album's recording efforts that was absent in previous sessions. Two tracks, "Being Here" and "Rooibos/Palm Wine Drinkard", were first available for download via Spin magazine's website.
Oceans Will Rise was awarded a Juno Award for 'Alternative Album of the Year' during the 2009 Juno Awards Gala on March 28, 2009.
The track "Everything I Build" was featured in the 2009 ABC television series Defying Gravity episode "Rubicon". The track "I'm With You" was featured in an Alexander Keith's beer commercial in Canada.

Being Here
by: StillsWe ride through
These plains of hurt
Through the Southern breathing rock
On a rail road of knots
And theres blood on the lines
Of every page I turn
When the ones you love
Are the ones you burn
Being here
Being here
Oh oh
Being here
Some one singing songs
About a girl I hurt
I've been everywhere enough
I've been torn apart by the world
But theres apples in the trees
And diamonds in the earth
I've been losing my mind
Somehow it can't get worse
Being here
Being here
Oh oh
Being here
And the wind is blown and cold
And I can't escape the tears
One for every broken bone
And a hundred for all the years
Being here
Being here
Oh oh
Being here
Being here
Being here
Oh oh
