This album is simply wonderful. The music is very uplifting and very summery. The lyrics are interesting and the singer’s voice is really lovely. Although several singles were taken from this album, the rest of the album is just as good and the remaining tracks definitely aren’t just filler. In fact, one of my favourite songs from this album is ‘Beautiful Night’, which was never a single. I really liked this album, in fact, my only ‘complaint’ is that the lyrics weren’t in the sleeve notes – not that this is much of a problem as the songs are quite easy to understand.
Advantages: great easy listening Disadvantages: none
...of ?the lighthouse family?s music? Ocean drive is another excellent album of theirs. It must contain something good, as the Labour party have got a song from it for their 2001 election campaign (Lifted). But what other songs are there? In all there are 10 songs, which could be put on your CD player and left on repeat all day, and still you?d probably not get fed up with them. All the songs are catchy and sing able to.
Track 1 is Lifted, probably ... ...do this album): track 4, Ocean drive (the title song): track 5 The way you are: track 6, Keep remembering (another big hit for them): track 7, Sweetest operator: track 8, What could be better (and what could be better than listening to this album?): track 9, Beautiful night: and track 10, Goodbye to heartbreak. The album is upbeat and up lifting. An album you can sing along to, while working around the house, or just lazing in the garden ...

Advantages: Good uplifting music Disadvantages: No real distinction between tracks
...while. So Lighthouse family, Ocean Drive it was.
Now, some of you may not remember them, they are a pop duo from Newcastle, that released songs such as lifted and ocean drive and were at their peak 3-5 years ago, since then they have disappeared.
So, what about the music? Well, it is uplifting pop, not Steps, type pop, but original and melodic and Tunde’s vocals are excellent with a very distinctive smooth voice. This is relaxing music, not ... ...agree with that, but Ocean Drive is one of my all time favourite easy tracks and so pulls the album up. There are a few poor tracks on here, but nothing you would want to skip over.
Not a classic, but very good and most of all uplifting. ...

Reviews which might be of interest for "Ocean Drive - Lighthouse Family"
?High? is classic LighthouseFamily, great lyrics, upbeat, easy listening, relaxing and great song.
The genre of this song is rock/pop and is a medium pace beat
The lyrics where written by Paul Taylor, lead vocals: Tunde Baiyewu. Keyboards: Paul tucker, Martin Hayes, Peter Gordeno. Drums: Ben Hiller.
Personally I think this song is the kind of tune you would listen to when you need to just chill out and relax nothing could be more perfect then the LighthouseFamily.
?High? is available as a single CD, but I think it well worth in investing in LighthouseFamily ?Greatest Hits? which includes many more of the fabulous hits, ?Lifted?, ? OceanDrive?, ?Raincloud?, and ?Lost In Space? for example.
The single ?High? is available in every decent musical retailer, the greatest hits also.
?High? lyrics are:
