Stranded is the third album by the English rock band Roxy Music, released in late 1973. It reached number one on the UK album charts. The cover shows Bryan Ferry's then girlfriend and 1973 Playmate of the Year, Marilyn Cole. It was the first Roxy Music album on which Ferry was not the sole songwriter as multi-instrumentalist Andy Mackay and guitarist Phil Manzanera also contributed to the album. Though it was also the first without Brian Eno, who had left the group after For Your Pleasure, Eno nonetheless later rated it as Roxy Music's finest record. Despite this praise, the album only reached number 186 in the Top Pop Albums charts in the US.

As described in Allmusic:
"Stranded" has a gorgeous faux doo wop lilt, and an elegant, timeless piano that cascades from the ether as a nocturnal alto saxophone (Morrison) who announces a stolid yet world-weary vocal that unhurriedly moves along to a backing chorus. One can hear traces of The Platters' "Twilight Time" and The Penguins' "Earth Angel" in its grain.
In the lyrics of the song, the singer laments being confused and isolated in a modern world from which he feels disconnected:
''I’m stranded at the edge of the world ''It’s a world I don’t knowBC Music's reviewer Aaman Lamba notes: "Stranded" is a typical Morrison piece, dealing with being stranded on the shores of a new world, a world changed. A thoughtful piece, it features a saxophone section of some worth." (This was played by Morrison.)
''It's leaving me stranded ''In my own little island ''With my eyes open wide ''But I'm feeling strandedMorrison has frequently performed this song in his live concerts since releasing it.
