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.

[@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

[@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.

[@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

[@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...

[@haileywells2189]

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

[@neverending9803]

[@nicolei-637]

Thank you!

[@nalisole]

thank you 🥺

[@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

[@Amber24426]

I still love this album 🧡😢

[@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'

[@mi-go4679]

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

[@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.

[@ironjohnlad]

wow 13 years ago and still beautiful

[@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.

[@unwell333]

This is actually unearthly. So beautiful,

[@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

[@DalasStudios]

You guys can't dislike this. If you dislike this you're just the biggest envious in the world, this is a nice song.

[@samanta784]

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

[@turdfacesaywhaaaa]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@waddlesleshay]

22 people don't understand how good this is.

[@debrunpandm]

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

[@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.

[@mrhatman22]

This is a fantastic version of an amazing song

[@dom0s]

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

[@songibeko8355]

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

[@warrenmulvey]

melancholic and masterful... beauty can take on many forms... this is one of them!

[@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.

[@stephendowling2453]

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

[@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

[@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!

[@Ashesashes9673]

Simply beautiful.

[@ricemilk3185]

WHAT A BEAUTY OF A SONG

[@amayacarrerasugarte5783]

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

[@SpiritualityRules]

I had a dream recently whereby myself and the lead singer were stood within a circle. I was pointing out the massive, deep circle of young people who were peacefully sitting on the grass, waiting patiently. I hope this proves to be a good omen for the band. :-)

[@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

[@junadia69]

“After silence, that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible is music” - Aldous Huxley

[@manof1000voices]

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

[@muir_kat]

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

[@prateek2829]

Timeless ❤

[@RichardBarnes12]

Two words. Simply stunning.

[@adamkhan9899]

i used to not like the album version of bible belt but after hearing this on npr and now on youtube i love both versions

[@larissachanelle]

Immediately brought me to tears.

[@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!

[@treeoftears]

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

[@BIDOSTUBE]

Great group great song,,,, they know how to dry ma tears from making a river...

[@AarynJensen]

my favorite feeling in life is finding new bands like this that are so flawlessly perfect its unbelievable

[@Plesterdog]

Wade through the rowan and the willow and the thousand-years of stunted oak. Far from the idlers and the imbeciles, and the petrol-pump and the pylons. Hear their songs of testimony, persuasion, exhortation and warning. Joyous and luminous. Sorrowful yet glorious. Soul-searching for their suppers. Sorting wheat from chaff. Moving the air about them. Stringing daisies on a chain. Like young Joshuas yowling at the stubborn walls of Jericho. World without end. Amen and Alleluia.

[@nanarockband]

I absolutely adore this song.

[@ssslcus82]

i think this is the best band ive heard for months! wow!

[@Nickelbackstar94]

Just so beautiful!

[@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.

[@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!!!

[@OrchestratedProdigy1]

if the entire world listened to music like this and smoked a blunt, there would be no war. just peace.

[@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!!!!

[@missmusiclover1610]

[@mae_youbeokay4]

[@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.

[@birdland]

Oh man these guys put on shows in the UK together with Johnny Flynn... I wish I still lived there just for that!

[@yugogin]

[@cloudhugger123]

[@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

[@jbrpfan]

[@PrimeMortimus]
