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
Doves are an English indie rock band, formed in Manchester in 1998. The band is composed of twin brothers Jez (guitar, vocals) and Andy Williams (drums, vocals), and Jimi Goodwin (lead vocals, bass, guitar). Additionally, the band employs Martin Rebelski, as a touring and session musician on keyboards. The band released five studio albums between 2000 and 2020, three of which reached #1 on the UK album charts. A compilation album, The Places Between: The Best of Doves, was released in April 2010.
Doves went on hiatus in 2010. During this time, Goodwin released his first solo album, Odludek (2014), while the Williams brothers regrouped as Black Rivers. In December 2018, Doves announced they were ending their hiatus by performing for the Teenage Cancer Trust at London's Royal Albert Hall on 29 March 2019. Further festivals, including some dates with Noel Gallagher, were subsequently announced. The band released two new songs: "Carousels" and "Prisoners", in June and July 2020 respectively. Their fifth studio album The Universal Want was released in September 2020.
The list: Porcupine Tree, Catherine Wheel, Belly, Doves... a few others - bands that the muggles are unaware of - don't tell them!

I've heard very little from Doves...but based on this song I think I should correct that fact.
All three albums are AWESOME....
go in chronological order and you can pretend you found them when they were new and hip
:)
something new for the commute random play shuffle
The melancholy Melotron in a minor key... sigh.
Very touching video to go with this song too.
I really love it when that ragged guitar suddenly comes jangling in...

Outstanding 'stop you in your tracks ' tune
I know they are deemed to be miserable but if you lived in Manchester you would be. I tried it for a few years. Decided there was a lot of merit in being a soft, shandy-drinking southerner! Plus Boddingtons! Please god NO.
this whole album is awesome, John 24. love it.

LOL, like on here when people moan about the lyrics of Everything But The Girl - 'Missing' on here, & how deserts don't miss the rain. You just imagine that they would do, when you come from a place where it p!sses down all the time...

How can you put so much beauty in sadness?
Sadness is part of the package. If it didn't have the capacity to be so beautiful, then nor would happiness (whatever that is)
