Of course The Last Broadcast was one the most stirring guitar albums released in eons. Of course 'There Goes The Fear' was a beautiful chart shagging monster of a single. But now we have 'Pounding'.

I could use words like euphoric, joyous, exhilarating, beautiful, affecting, stirring, heart-breaking, and tender to describe this song. But you've heard it all before.

This is simply a wonderful record to catch the moment. I could be glib and call it an anthem, but it's so much more than a simplistic tune that middle aged men sing along to in pubs. From Jimi Goodwin's anguished, yet triumphant vocals, to the incessant cacophony of the drums, and perhaps best of all the gliding chiming guitar of the last 45 seconds.

Forget everything else. This is the single of the year.

Doves - Pounding

God this is a fucking boring song.
Boring band too.

Doves - Pounding

the most bleedin' obvious single on the album but it still think 'there goes the fear' is better.

Doves - Pounding

and you are a boring man - you are obviously a tasteless lover of cheeky girls. Doves are pure talent...


doves - pounding

what a record still love it as much as when i first heard it even to this day.....a timeless classic


Um...

.... just had a listen, now, five years on.

it's a shame how music disappeared. As in, it is actually sad how our music has been subverted by untold meaningless babble.

Oh well :(
