Peter Liddle doesn't get enough praise for his lyrics. The man is a genius

[@ShirleyBrian]

I'm still so grateful I got to hear this masterpiece live a couple years ago, before they broke up... What a band!

[@wazzereightyseven]

So envious!! X

[@J3llyForMyB3lly]

For me they're the beatles of 2012. Such a warm sound they've got!

[@joeconrad3092]

@@wazzereightyseven 100!!!

[@monclivie]

I had luck to see two of their concerts in one day. That was one of the best festival experiences.

[@ZamWeazle]

​@@monclivie My sister said they were incredible live and everyone that heard them were totally blown away!! Yet soooo many mediocre bands /acts are still performing, churning out such boring empty music. I know music is subjective but I just can't understand the music industry/people's brains lol

[@isaalvagadaffimachmudiisa7983]

I came here after 10 years after suddenly remembered it, still a good song :)

[@SttarMaker0000]

Me too.

[@jrai102]

Such an underrated band. They deserve more exposure. Their music is just too good to be unheard by the rest of the world.

[@wildsoundscivilised]

Completely agreed! Shallow Bed is such an amazing album from start to finish.

[@jrai102]

Wild Sounds Civilised Definitely agree with you. Also, one of my favourite bands.

[@StrangeAttractor]

yeah I don't get why they're not bigger.. miles better than other brits like mumford, could be jeff buckley's long lost little brother on vocals... very powerrful album, still playing it weekly and the new one should be a highlight of the year

[@jrai102]

David Wall No bias at all, definitely Dry the River are much better than the bands that are popular today. I've been listening to their album for a while now. Can't get enough of them. Hopefully, in the long run they receive more exposure for their work. They truly deserve it.

[@cristian.ilie.018]

This is Great indeed !!!

[@Soilwar]

One of the best songs I've ever heard.

[@Frutigerate]

yes same!

[@SttarMaker0000]

Yes

[@sigridtang4440]

I waited by your bedside And didn't close my eyes all night I named you like a prayer It's anybody's guess how The angel of doubt came down And crept into your bed But after we danced to the shipping forecast The words escaped your mouth "I know it's gotta stop love, but I don't know how" Now the stairs forget your shoes And the gate don't creak for want of you But the jury's out on me We're wise beyond our years But we're good at bad ideas, my love Or so it seems to be Shine a little light Don't wrestle with the night Don't think about the future now I know it's gotta stop love but I don't know how My little one My kettle drum I know I had a message at the start My babel tongue My come-undone I know I had a message at the start My prison kiss My dying wish I know I had a message at the start? But it up and abandoned us, when we were sleeping in our beds It's anybody's guess how the angel of doubt laid down Sand beneath our house I know it's gotta stop love, but I don't know how

[@MargheritaDaisy]

I miss you guys everyday, with all my heart! still my favorite band in 2022!

[@maliha_abroad]

The immense joy I had experienced the first time I discovered their music is incomparable. They were and forever will be my favorite band of all time. Not a single artist writes the type of songs they do. Not even close. God I miss em soo much. My playlist just isn't the same anymore. I'll forever miss their genre of songs.

[@carabusviolaceus9166]

I hear you. I only just found out they'd split. Totally gutted.

[@zakixbox]

Try Poets of the fall. Trust me ;-)

[@carabusviolaceus9166]

Just been giving them a listen. They aren't really similar to DTR, but fair do's - they do sound pretty good! Nice call.

[@zakixbox]

Happy that you had enjoyed POTF... ''Cradled in love'' is my favorite song of this band ^^

[@neverending9803]

Maliha Sultana I discovered them yesterday. I feel the same joy as you felt and it's one of the best feelings ever. they are amazing

[@Rab_1967]

I can't believe DTR has split! My life won't be the same without them. Gutted

[@thereadingsylph]

You all saved my life and made it so much better, miss you always

[@annetteperks]

I saw you guys in B'ham a few years ago absolutely fantastic it was my birthday treat from my family as I am or was a big fan. Fantastic evening and I love the music so much it is in my head every day and I wish you still produced. Missing your sound so very much xxxxx

[@mitchelluk1445]

kept hearing this tune on the radio in work, kept humming it for weeks till i finally found out who sung it, its so catchy and just sounds perfect

[@ericthebmo3433]

Found these guys a few months ago, their songs are lovely. It's a shame they're no longer together

[@rebel32degrees]

SHALLOW BED! Can't believe I am just now hearing about these guys in the US. I like.

[@azur_playspiggy5312]

Incredible that i had never heard of them till now. Brilliant and beautiful.

[@valeriemarin546]

thank you to this band even a decade later, the best album i've ever heard

[@syncgel]

Omg I have being looking for this music forever a could not find solely because I could remember only the melody, but nothing of the lyrics ❤

[@smartin5888]

I really miss this band😭

[@squirtle_of_lime5390]

I wish this band would come back, so much

[@SuperbFairy]

I miss these guys

[@TigerPrawn_]

Thank you to an acquaintance of mine who recommended this bands to me!

[@kebl2268]

The Acoustic version is just as good if not better. This is band is too good to stay underrated!!!

[@smarta800]

I can't get this out of my head.

[@Hidantehreapah76]

I swear, when I first heard his voice, I felt like crying....it's so beautiful. :')

[@lbertrand1]

First saw this band at Leeds Festival 2011 and was blown away by them - simply amazing live - such a unique sound, great harmonies, lyrics and energy - the more you listen, the more they suck you in. Intelligent musicians with a bit of gravitas (makes a nice change). Just got my tickets for Leeds 2012, if they are not there I want my money back!!!!!!

[@he2q12]

This music video is truly a form of art. I keep getting back to watch it every other month or so I just can't get it out of my head and I'm not complaining about it I really love everything about this

[@aliceydwi]

this song actually gives me SHIVERS every time i listen to it. there are no words that express my love for this song, and this band.

[@RockTransistor]

I love dry the river! Their music is so special!

[@AmericanMysticDegenerate]

This was my most listened to song of 2022 apparently (and my most listened to band). Surprisingly, I've only listened to it 57 times this year

[@saintstigma]

It still gives me chills. It's such a shame that this marvelous band had to split up.

[@planetwave]

real music you do still exist... *sheds a tear*

[@ElectroThePhoenix]

I love this video almost as much as I love the song... which is saying something as it was easily my most played song of 2011

[@DunnThatProductions]

Followed these guys for the last year or so, seeing how far this song has come since then is amazing. Best song of 2012 by a long way.

[@hughesshanna1995]

i love this song, but the violin hit me as AMAZIN!!!!! and the bigger dude doing almost perfect karate moves was surprising...love it!!!

[@bashfacemcgee]

Looked this guys up in preparation for Reading Festival and fell in love. They were a highlight of the weekend. My god Scott is beautiful too...

[@MrLittleRedMan11]

One of the best songs to be released this year. Can't help but have chills towards the end.

[@stephencabasag]

I used to skip this music video ad back then, but look at me now and lovin' it :( whyyyyy

[@angelsfalldown]

I heard this on indie radio today and I instantly had to share it with everyone I knew... This is an amazing piece of music,...

[@thegumik]

i can't discribe with words how powerfull this song is. this is music.

[@Ekko505]

Saw them in Nijmegen (Netherlands) a few months ago and I can honestly say that it was one of the best gigs I've ever been to (and I've been to a lot of concerts). Dry the River sound as amazing live as they sound on record. SO GOOD.

[@sizzlewackosnap]

I'm going to see these guys live at the Cedar Cultural Club in Minneapolis on Saturday. Should be a great show!

[@SUPERsmallSAUL13]

i could listen to this song for hours

[@LadyJammyDodgers]

tuuuuuuuune, replay over and over

[@xxxRosexxx2]

I'm just absolutley in love with this band! seeing them live 2 times maybe 3 so far, cannot wait!

[@MrLittleRedMan11]

In love. Just stumbled across this and it's now my favourite song of 2012. It's just simply genius!

[@he2q12]

I can't get this song out of my head but I'm not complaining!

[@coreybandrowsky8752]

Been one of my favorite songs for around ten years 👏

[@therhapsodist976]

I miss this Band.

[@Frutigerate]

one of my favourite songs by far!

[@xElleRyuzaki]

this song is just amazing.. no words enough to explain the feeling ..

[@peterbarzilay1083]

Ik zag deze band bij RTV Rijnmond, ons aller fijne regionale zender. Ik heb gekeken, ik heb geluisterd, en ik heb een oordeel geveld. Lekker meeslepende muziek, fijn zangwerk, te hoog voor mij om mee te kunnen zingen. Ik ben op zoek gegaan in de platenzaak en gevonden.

[@oliviarossi5131]

To some, this music is beautiful and enchanting. Just because you hold a high disregard toward it, that does not mean you have to be completely insensitive towards the artists and, consequently, their listeners.

[@LarryS378]

I prefer definately. And I DEFINATELY prefer being 'someone who listens to this type of music'

[@55was]

I love that band so much as teen years ago and I am happy that I found them again.

[@richiwolfman]

Se me eriza la piel solo de escucharlos, magnifica canción!. gracias.

[@samanthacesario9471]

chills every time

[@uzpunk]

I've never heard just like this so incredible....

[@lbertrand1]

That's great news! Thanks soooooo much for letting me know.

[@lilycarter6949]

Their hair is fabulous. ♥ I love them. Especially Jon.

[@StratocastRS]

I remember first hearing this song. Found it on KZbin, then forgot about for a year. Heard it when it first came out...then forgot about it. Recently I was listening to the Rhythm Kings and I remembered this song. Couldnt recall the band or song. About 20 minutes of intense thinking...Found it.. HERE I AM!!!!

[@emmaseay9679]

it's been 4 years since I last heard this song, and I still know all the words 💕

[@forloveoffur]

Their voices are magical...

[@iraleecantellia]

I'm glad I got to see them while they're still opening for people. Next time they're in town they'll probably play First Ave, and after that I won't be able to afford the tickets.

[@lbertrand1]

Saw them at Leeds Festival last weekend - sorry Foo Fighters and Kasabian and all the other Big Names, they topped it for me, simply brilliant, wow - vocals, lyrics, musicianship, energy, they have it all. Thanks, Guys for bringing me back to life. Lots more visits 'up north PLEASE!!!!

[@jgocobachi]

Definitely a great song! Stuck in my head all day today...I was just in the Apple store today looking at iPods and noticed the video of this song. I got hooked totally overlooking the technology. I am now officially a new fan!!!

[@reh1959]

Just can't get enough of this song.

[@vanf906]

One of the best bands I've listened to this year! Hope to see them next year in Lollapalooza! COME TO BRAZIIIIIIlL

[@danielalisova1889]

Prague fell in love with your "dryness" . I hope we´ll see you soon in here.

[@NellCarts]

[@Heatherosie]

This is BEAUTIFUL! I really want these guys to tour the southeast so I can see them! So excited for their album, Shallow Bed to come out in a few weeks. It's going to be amazing. I love them!

[@Heatherosie]

I am so happy I found these guys! They have quickly become one of my favorite bands of all time. I heard about them on the Sony College Marketing Facebook page. I've actually found a lot of great music on there! I highly recommend it!

[@Ebeneeza]

Just amazing, this will kill the charts. So proud of you lads.

[@ajmacleod89]

I was searching for a band to fall in love with... Now I've found it!!! 😍

[@TheFrejaLouise]

If I could only listen to one song ever again, this would be it!

[@stephenmackley1517]

Erm, is that Kate Micucci? What a video! You guys are amazing. More music please. Please!

[@MsVanilla45]

[@jpmwood]

Clearly the best song from the album.

[@agitsuu]

Kto z Polski i nie może doczekać się Dry The River na Openerze ? Woohoo!

[@McLarenKeith]

Seeing them at Reading fest on Saturday for the first time, CANNOT WAIT!!!

[@Leotique]

[@capocchione]

Saw you at Roskilde 2012. One of the best concerts there...
