WLT - Dry The River - Bible Belt

[@sierraandthestorm]

after all these years i still come back to listen to this. so peaceful yet full of so many different emotions. absolute love.

[@SuperLovellie]

I totally know what you mean. It's one of my all-time favorite songs

[@ryanjacob6559]

They're not exactly in my top bands, but gaddamn Shallow Bed is really up there in my favorite albums. This song still slaps until now

[@kerm52]

Sameeeee

[@zachlaney-clark8061]

Same! I’ve been enjoying this video for probably a decade now!! Amazingly beautiful

[@TheBrich91]

I come back to this song when things are confusing or tough. As said, so many different emotions. Each time I have come back to listen over the years I reflect back to the other points in my life when I would play this song. It really is a lovely rendition of this song.

[@hayleyanderson1360]

Anyone still come back to this song? I must be at least a thousand plays by myself. This’ll have a place in my heart forever.

[@TheBrich91]

Still coming back.

[@sterlingsubs]

As it should! ONe of the most beautiful songs ever recorded.

[@HewwoKewsey]

11 years ago?? This is still one of my favorite songs. Have all their albums. Love them so much

[@noahmarshall5616]

Where has the time gone

[@KetanParmarr]

Peter Liddle was with me 10 years ago at Delhi and we watched Manganiyar Seduction together at NH7 Weekender. I went there alone from Mumbai. I still can't forget that experience. I never imagined such a talented musician would just stand beside me and enjoy a beautiful musical performance together as if we were friends. I have a photograph saved somewhere with him. I will never forget it.

[@gabriellebuck111]

Almost 2024 and I still come back to this song

[@ZuotangZhang]

They are not simply singing; but they are talking to your heart. Beautiful in deed.

[@bethanyedwards958]

Sublime... Somehow captures all the depth of the human experience

[@SweeeeetTea]

I have no idea why this video popped up on my homepage after all of this time, but I am glad it did because I still adore this

[@DigvalleyMusic]

Same.

[@TheTomito44]

I listen to this every morning when I go to work, and every time I feel like crying

[@Kaazikin]

Well the good thing is you don't have to work now! #covid

[@keotte5234]

Damn this was 9 years ago...

[@LIFEHAZARD56]

His voice stirs emotions in me, its frail and beautiful, like he is about to burst out in tears and a something made of glass is quivering when he sings, ready to break if he sings louder

[@chloewells4385]

My dad was asking me what kind of music I listen to. I was especially insecure at the time and valued the time I spent alone with my music, but I decided to show him this band. He was interested and looked them up. Annnnnnnd he told me they had split four days prior. After that I was sad and didn't listen to them for a while. I'm glad to be listening again. This is beautiful!

[@IAmRedherrings]

Whale Oh Whale he is solo now!!! 'PD Liddle'

[@stephendowling2453]

Was ill in hospital when i heard this. Got me through some Tough Times X

[@johnmacbegins]

every time I listen to these amazing musicians, I can't believe I live on a planet with incredible people such as these on it.

[@ittah2762]

I have been following Dry The River at festivals and everything since 2010, still as amazing now as they were back then. This is still one of my fave videos of them!

[@chuckkent1005]

Agghhh this is incredible. The slow build gives me shivers again and again. I love it.

[@IAmRedherrings]

GUYS!!! Peter has started a solo project 'PD liddle', go find his new EP!!!

[@nicolei-637]

Thank you!

[@nalisole]

[@ironjohnlad]

[@haileywells2189]

This band seems to speak to me. I'm so disappointed that they've split. They're wonderful.

[@mi-go4679]

God. So many memories. Hits my heart like a fucking sledge hammer.

[@Amber24426]

I still love this album 🧡😢

[@hayami7]

A few weeks ago I was bored by the music I was listening too, struggling to find something fresh and new. Thank god for this channel! Acoustic versions are always more soulful I find

[@samanta784]

This song makes me wanna live and see the good things in life..

[@rockerdancsi]

This is so beautiful. It is sung with the sorrow of an aging blues artist but with the sweetness of a small child. I am in awe.

[@unwell333]

This is actually unearthly. So beautiful,

[@songibeko8355]

2020 Christmas wish would be for these dudes to get back together make some more music.💯

[@mrhatman22]

This is a fantastic version of an amazing song

[@DigvalleyMusic]

Back again. Watched them cancel a gig in a rainstorm in Norway. Only to play an acoustic gig in the sound tent where the rain and wind was faced the other way. Everybody cried and it was the best day/gig ever.

[@aseycay42]

I cannot express how much I love this "striped" down version of Bible belt. It is such a beautiful song and so nicely sung.

[@amayacarrerasugarte5783]

You guys are simply the best! As much as I hear your acoustic versions, the more I like each song! AWESOME!

[@breannalee4112]

This made me find and fall in love with DTR, and I got to drive 3 hours to Seattle to watch them play in 2014 🤍

[@AlyshaKatexo]

LYRICS: Lo and behold! Your mother is drinking again This might be the coldest winter since records began You were a low moon, steady with wintry calm Leading the children softly across the farm Each morning you'd march your sisters like soldiers to school Cause lo and behold! Your father had drunk all the fuel You were a low moon, steady with wintry calm Somewhere inside the fire of your youth went dark But you swear blind there is no weight in the water pail You say "My love, you take the cards that you're dealt Cause there's no guiding light arching a line to Bethlehem If it's dark outside you light the fire yourself" Darling when the ice caps melt When the devil's in the bible belt Don't cower in your bed I'll be on the 5:45 You can meet me at the railway line And don't look so scared Cause we've been through worse than this before we could talk The trick of it is, don't be afraid any more

[@27valerie05]

I came across this band by chance a few months ago and this was the first song I ever heard from them. Their music grabbed my heart and havent let it go since then. Their songs are so touching that I even cried while listening to some of them. This band became something special for me. I saw them performing live two weeks ago and I still have goose bumps when I think about it. I hope there will be many many more albums by this incredible band in the future. Keep up the good work, guys!

[@brittanyhatley1356]

After I listened to this song one time, all I could do is stare at the wall for ten minutes, unable to really focus on anything, object or thought. I found some sort of inner serenity after listening to this music. It spoke to me.

[@fauxhaus]

reading ur post as i listened to the song, i could not help putting myself in your place and wept. My heart goes out to you and those this tragedy touched.

[@Jenbouf]

This is one of the best songs I have ever heard. Its heart aching yet beautiful, the voices are amazing sends shivers through my spine! This song can make me cry or fall asleep, it's just stunning, one of the most under rated bands ever!

[@turdfacesaywhaaaa]

In my entire life i've never heard a voice like his. Heartbreaking.

[@yugogin]

BEST PERFORMANCE BY DTR without a doubt. i think you guys should do more stuff like this :] Much Love x

[@Phonosheet]

This is so good, look at how human beings can do beautiful and 'simple' things! Everything is not dead, I have faith again. Thanxxx!!!

[@theaholmvaaga]

i wonder how many times i have watched this video. the lyrics, the melody, and the way their voices are always on the breaking point makes this song probably the best song i've heard this year. holy fuck, words can not explain how beautiful this song is. please come to norway

[@iwjtermors]

i just wanted to say i shared this on my facebook page because i absolutely adored it, and i got reactions along the lines of 'gorgeous, thank you for making my day, thank you for introducing me to dry the river' etcetera, so basically, you are amazing and keep doing what you guys do.

[@treeoftears]

If this whole 'watch listen tell' playlist was available as a downloadable album, I'd buy it in a heartbeat.

[@BrittanytheBrave]

I could listen to these harmonies every minute of every day, I swear. So excited for "Shallow Bed" to get to the US in April!!!!

[@redflare100]

What a beautiful melody and such wonderful harmonies!

[@warrenmulvey]

Beautiful and affecting, poignant and entrancing... pure class. ...aaaannnnd loving the watch listen tell channel... artistically done!

[@Chris4rmnz]

I first heard about this band almost a year ago in the Guardians "new band of the day" and I still return to the same songs when I need a tonic. Their music makes me feel so good over and over

[@muir_kat]

Brought tears to my eyes!!! And the ending was powerful~loved it -Katie

[@prateek2829]

Timeless ❤

[@BenjaminCoblentz]

just came across your music on itunes radio today and decided to pick up your album - you guys are really great - thanks for sharing!

[@micah960]

I love different stuff like this. I swear a new rapper singing the same exact way as everyone else comes out everyday, but these guys are a jem.

[@manof1000voices]

The wind and birds make this song perfectly ethereal, it's absolutely beautiful

[@debrunpandm]

I loose Hope in the music world when DJ Tiesto comes on the radio... This Channel is rekindling that Hope :)

[@Ashesashes9673]

Simply beautiful.

[@Kristy9794]

All I have to say it, thank you Matthew for breaking your arm. Because this is the most beautiful song I have ever heard in my entire life.

[@solodolo666]

[@clicktrackheart]

[@amethystXatmosphere]

i love it when people make faces and squint when they sing. conveys so much emotion. love love love

[@SpiritualityRules]

i only came across this band yesterday. Although there are many great young bands that deserve recognition for their creativity, this band certainly grabs one's attention. Absolutely beautiful. :-)

[@Redcorduroymonkey]

It puts you in a happy relaxed mood that I could stay in forever

[@TommWayfarer]

Is like a memory of the fleet foxes in hands of a new generation

[@thesmiths94]

there can be so much more feeling in one song than in a thousand words

[@TheEnglishElmo]

Gorgeous song, and the story told is heartbreaking and full of hope for something better all at the same time. A band to watch.

[@headlinegirlx]

I love this! We need more of this in the world.

[@dom0s]

This guy looks like one of the only guitarists of youtube who doesn't use a pick. New favourite band :).

[@drytheriverofficial]
