Anyone in 2023 still loving this song as much as I?

[@niallmaca5670]

No am in 2024. It's class.

[@oskarssonhalldor320]

I just discovered that song 2024. It's Masterpiece.

[@DeathInSpace]

My God! 2024 here

[@debimmm]

Yes! love it whatever the year 🎉

[@MemskiBobSki]

Jimi Goodwin. Absolutely fantastic.

[@ziukh3164]

So, these guys are responsible for all the heartache I've been having? Hell of a song.

[@manusilv3894]

Right? Only few bands can do it

[@heloisaap.cantuschneiter623]

Muitas horas de replay ouvindo a mesma música. Sou viciada nela❤

[@ambroseaz]

Jimi's a criminally underrated bass player. Guy's got feel for days. This band should be so much bigger than they are.

[@kuronokei7821]

this song is haunting my mind throughout the years in a good way

[@kemikalrxn]

Exceptional song from an exceptionally underrated band. I really really miss them...

[@BowlandWalks]

Same. But good news, they're getting back together for a bit :-)

[@the0point]

Miss no more, they are reforming, so wish I was in UK to see them! And I miss them too.

[@jyames1]

New album dropping this year once this Covid bullshit fucks off

[@denisdonn]

@@jyames1 Second single Prisoners out on Friday (10/07)

[@furymittens1910]

New album September.

[@colinmoffat3215]

don’t care what anyone says doves are one of the best bands ever, not just in britain truly class group

[@dinogreece]

Damn right they are.

[@willmcmurray6084]

What a beautiful song , they were truly one of the best bands of the 90's/00's , they didn't get the credit they deserve, a tragedy in that respect, they're absolutely brilliant

[@clowninamicrowave]

I'm right with you there Will. Still hoping they may get back together, but it's becoming a very long 'hiatus'... :(

[@bazzbling1]

I remember saying to Jimi when he was 15 that he should be a lead vocalist and he shyly just laughed at me ha ha Nice one!

[@robertdarby2857]

This belter of a song should have more views

[@simplayer666]

PROPER MUSICIANS! -------------SHEER CLASS, THANKS DOVES!

[@allanthompson81]

Top performance quality vocals 10/10

[@jasonoldfield6512]

This version is better than the album version for me, can't believe the little amount of views it's had!

[@Hubbledriver]

Bump.

[@Mojo2727]

My God it takes an ocean of trust

[@FatihYldz93]

This song makes me want to go on a trip while it snows. Hoping to find someone whom I can travel with...

[@kevinwilliams1421]

Since losing me mam this songs means so much more to me..it makes me cry but the good memories always come up too.

[@Oldskoolride79]

For some strange reason i feel the need to drive a Ford Granada to Blackpool :)

[@janebaldwin8040]

+Oldskoolride79 Oh yes.

[@michaelconchuir6523]

great video that one guys.. #Granada

[@mikelawrence9781]

Oldskoolride79 lol

[@gordon4385]

Funny, I was thinking of a yellow Hummer to Hollywood..

[@octagoloaner]

most emotionally raw rustic version of this song those acoustics harmonise beautifully blown away

[@johnpett8333]

Depressing songs are powerful...they relate to the hardest parts of our lives, and the parts that most people don't want to face. Although this song isn't entirely depressing...the chorus starts off with a major chord, the realization that moving on is possible and doable...but holy crap is it difficult. That's what this song is about to me, about having your heart broken whether it be through breakup or death, wanting to move on and feel better....but coming to grips with the reality that it can seem daunting and impossible. Like how everything reminds you of those times, and you can't see how that will ever stop. You look at everything around you as a part of that decay, and not for what it is in the big picture.

[@peterjones4785]

Wow Sir! Nice words. 👍

[@jimmymcguire8217]

deep bro

[@danielr3522]

Beautifully said :-)

[@janjirasek7149]

9 years, damn. Still one of my favorite songs.

[@johnjames1303]

Pure class.Music for grown ups...I love it!!!

[@goaheadskinit]

This song never gets old.

[@babyrne78]

Come back guys, we need you!😢

[@charlie-uz6hf]

I love the acoustic version. Rocking the fuck out man.

[@Amalekites]

This is real music! 💗

[@billystar1306]

One of the best bands ever... Amazing composing and writing skills. Killer songs..

[@madxero]

Jeez, I could sit here and listen to there melodic music forever. I haven't had the privilege of ever seeing them live... beautiful

[@paddym27]

they are phenomenal live (i had the pleasure a couple of times). Good news for you is that rumour has it they will be announcing a tour on 3rd Dec 2018 (this coming Monday)

[@underwaterdick]

I really miss doves. Incredible band. I was truly obsessed as a teenager in 2005 onwards. Living in Inverness meant i didn't get to see them until years later. Whe I did, it was at Warrington Town Hall, the band played an entire gig pre-release of their album to a very small crowd and didnt talk much. Just incredible music, some of which we had never heard. Shortly after followed the Manchester Central gig, which was an incredible experience. Then a couple of weeks later I went to see them locally in Southampton. A totally mainstream undreatred band with a huge following. Music so very chilled out but very well composed at the same time.

[@neilk4862]

Spot on

[@Casaris_Official]

thats i call true music ❤

[@paulblower9514]

Not long discovered doves love them

[@chariti30]

WOW! As a leftie who was forced to learn how to play right handed guitar, I am THOROUGHLY impressed with the singer/ rhythm guitarist! It is extremely difficult to play a right handed guitar upside down. My hat is off to you, sir!

[@barryhardin9962]

As a lefty I have had several “righty’s “ but always strung them left. To just pick up a righty and inverse all the chords and bars is phenomenal!!

[@barryhardin9962]

Even when he plays his Fender P

[@Daviedots]

Seen doves bout 6 or 7 times live, always amazing, but this acoustic version is simply brilliant! 👍

[@janebaldwin8040]

Drove a '77 Triumph Dolly 1850 round most of the country in the early 90s. Happiest time of my life.

[@kevinwilliams1421]

Jane Baldwin I crashed my mums when I was 15 it was brown then scraped... she still holds it against me now

[@agex4ever]

one of the greatest and most underrated bands

[@jamesgreenwood2289]

And Jimi plays a right handed guitar, strung the right handed way, flipped upside down. Bonkers.

[@respawnus]

Still love this song like it was written yesterday

[@nderohan]

Most underrated band ever!

[@peterjones4785]

Acoustic ❤ Truly an amazing track.

[@edoardomustacchia466]

I hear a sound A sound above my head Distant sound of thunder Moving out on the moor Blackbirds flew in Into the cooling towers I'll pack my bags Thinking of one of those hours With you Waiting for you My god It takes an ocean of trust In the Kingdom of Rust I long to feel Some beauty in my heart As I go searching Right to the start The road back to Preston Was covered all in snow As I went looking For that stolen heart For you Waiting for you My god It takes an ocean of trust Takes an effort, it does My god It takes an ocean of trust It's in the Kingdom of Rust In the Kingdom of Rust I long to feel That wince in my heart As I went looking I couldn't stop Now I'm Waiting for you I know It takes an ocean of trust In the Kingdom of Rust

[@Noveltyuk]

Edoardo Mustacchia he sings "I long to feel that winter in my heart"

[@micktmusic]

You know they both know they absolutely nailed this performance 🎸🙌🏻

[@clarehughes7868]

2024 n they still fuckin amazing 😊

[@asaggu1173]

exceptional song period. Love from canada

[@davecollyer5243]

Will be playing this at my funeral

[@4444540]

SO happy Doves are coming back to us all.... YESSSSS! :) What a band... amazing songs with feeling, we all need more of that!

[@youngbairn]

Just chilling reading the comments. I love this band. Fucking magic.

[@martino9147]

I can see Jodrell Bank and Winter Hill from my bathroom window, which gives me a weird connection to these guys. Looking forward to seeing them at Bearded Theory later this year! X

[@cyrocezarteixeirahottum7106]

It just touches our soul. Simple and touching music and lyrics, and talk about real love.

[@tomasa-m5643]

Top Gear showed me this song, and I've loved it for a decade and more. That music video is absolutely beautiful. To see my home area represented so artistically, yet so realistically, touches me. It's my own little Déz Vu experience, driving in a car, with this on, driving past Saddleworth or on the country roads between East Lancashire and West Yorkshire, to Todmorden, or to Burnley, or to Colne.

[@BowlandWalks]

Love this acoustic version.

[@Alan-zi2rs]

The Doves sound beautiful....known this band since the beginning That's how it's done 👍🇬🇧👏👏👏👏🎸🎶🎶🎶

[@lucasbaesse8832]

we need you guys in BRAZIL !!

[@permaveg]

God they were good, I was fortunate enough to see them on their 'Kingdom of Rust' tour in 09 at Southampton and I travelled 80 miles to see them, it was well worth it.

[@louisesmith4373]

Get well soon

[@rngsharky5501]

Superb performance of a superb song. I knew that Jimi played his right handed bass upside down, I've just noticed in this video that he's playing his 6 string acoustic upside down as well! How?!!

[@trickster_qc]

I've been asking myself the same thing. I saw them in Montreal years ago and he blew my mind. Asked him about it on twitter but he simply reply with a wink emoji ahah

[@stephenk.4290]

I said this about Hanoi Rocks in the 80's... This is another band that is criminally neglected... so much more talent than their more successful peers... Doves and Gomez and Elbow... So incredible.

[@blines799]

Timeless band / timeless music. Hope the next Doves album is not too long away.

[@edwardthompson1160]

Great to hear those guitars sounding so good outside. Love it.

[@MrStrewtho]

The official video made me cry...... I got emotional : ( x

[@nantwiched]

I'm sure they will be back in the future. Jimi is well worth seeing solo / with his new band as some of the tracks are just like Doves classic tracks. Instant classics.

[@Pumpagroth]

Simply awesome. So much of their music is timeless. Thank God they were never really part of a 'scene' so never 'uncool' and could just keep on producing the music they wanted...we wanted...hope for more someday!

[@dizzylizzysunflower]

Sublime

[@MrLeopardprint]

They're back with a new album September 2020 rumoured to be rather good!

[@paulhurst8369]

This sounds so good! It's like a top studio session but it's outside with two acoustic guitars! Wonderful song

[@gordonwride_music]

Loved this song for so many years, I’m going to give it a go and hopefully do it justice 😮

[@davidcoxon4710]

Awesome. I love these guys. So down to earth. A brilliant performance too

[@fernandezriverasergio]

2024 ♥️ Nunca me cansaré de este tema, me motiva! Saludos desde 🇧🇴

[@piernobel]

[@stephenk.4290]

amazing band. Lost souls on headphones... lay down and drift!

[@grantkorpez6669]

Just amazing talent..

[@WassupFootballFinest]

Is it bad that all my favourite songs are pretty depressing

[@WhySoSerious55]

+MackAttack 27 I don't know the answer to that, but I have the same stance hah.

[@RecklessZOMBIE16]

+MackAttack 27 youre not alone :)

[@janebaldwin8040]

+MackAttack 27 Not depessing. Melancholic but UPLIFTING.

[@paulsimonwilkinson]

MackAttack 27 no mate, me too. i find happiness in the songs that mean something, generally they are pretty depressing :)

[@garrieread3714]

I’m with you on that
