I Just Need Myself by Ocean Colour Scene

"I Just Need Myself" is a rock song by Ocean Colour Scene (OCS). The song was released from their album North Atlantic Drift in 2003 and reached number 13 on the UK Singles Chart, making it the highest-charting Ocean Colour Scene song since "Profit in Peace" from 1999. The song also reached number 30 in Ireland, becoming the band's last single to reach the top 30 there. The song was originally going to be a blues-style song, but guitarist Steve Cradock came up with the opening riff and decided to use that instead. Lead singer Simon Fowler says the lyrics are about the first things people think about when their heads hit the pillows. A remix of the song is a B-side to the 2007 single, "I Told You So".
