"My theory on Manchester and why it produces the bands it
does is that because the world is willing to listen to
them, it gives the kids a confidence and and a belief that
what has happened before might happen again. It's something
to aim for."
- Jimi Goodwin (May 2000)
Doves, were quite literally formed out of the ashes of the
Madchester dance act, Sub Sub, when a fire at their Ancoats
studio, on the birthday of Andy and Jez Williams, destroyed
the material for their next album as well as their
equipment. The twins, with fellow bander member and
Manchester CIty fan, Jimi Goodwin, were inspired to return
as the highly acclaimed rock group they are today.
With help from Rob's Records, owned by Rob Gretton who died
only months later, the band took up residence i More...

------ About the song Willow's Song performed by Doves
i know that in a few remakes of the song
i think by Faith and the Muse and Sneaker Pimps - that the last to lines were left out because of the sexual implications - i don't we are as relaxed than those in the 70's.
SOMETHING SHOCKING.. I LINK IT TO SOMEONE SPECIAL!! | Reviewer: goahead and seize the day!

------ About the song Willow's Song performed by Doves
Heigh ho! Who is there?
No one but me, my dear.
Please come say, How do?
The things I'll give to you.
A stroke as gentle as a feather
I'll catch a rainbow from the sky
And tie the ends together.
Heigh ho! I am here
Am I not young and fair?
Please come say, How do?
The things I'll show to you.
Would you have a wond'rous sight
The midday sun at midnight?
Fair maid, white and red,
Comb you smooth and stroke your head
How a maid can milk a bull!
And every stroke a bucketful.
Word for word.
This song is one of the most erotic songs i have ever heard without being cheesy.
It is a song you can listen to or sing along with, but definitely once you interpret the portrayal any woman would be in agreement i am sure it is entrancing and brings out a femininity that has been hidden.
Taken form the film , (the origional) " wicker Man". (Edward Woodward in his younger days)I think you have to watch the film to fully understand the meaning of the song and how it is presented. A song i listen to at least once a day along with another track from the same film " Gently Johnny"

------ About the song Ambition performed by Doves
This is just what i THINK the song is about. The title "ambition" is kind of misleading. Being ambitious and driven is generally a good thing, but in this context it sounds like its describing people who can never be satisfied in a relationship. When they don't have "a love that's perfect" they go looking for "Somebody good, Somebody new." They know what they're looking for doesn't exist because "Ain't a love as perfect
Everybody knows it." They overlook and give up on what they have in the hopes of finding a fairytale love that doesn't exist. That's why "Ambition cuts us down."

------ About the song Ambition performed by Doves
I think what the song is saying is this;no matter how much that person loves you,ambition will always get in the way,you´ll always loose.This of course is not always the case but I think it was in this one(QAF 513).For me it´s not the lyrics that move me,it´s the actual music.I find it almost spiritual,church-like.It´s basically an instrumental piece.It stuck its fist in my stomach and twisted and twisted.I felt gutted after hearing it,still do everytime,don´t know if it´s due to the context of how I heard it for the first time,but the feeling has stuck.For me it´s a pesimistic song,a song about defeat.

I listen to it, and I love it, the music even the lyrics. But I don't get the story, if there is a story. What does it mean?

------ About the song Firesuite performed by Doves
This is one of the greatest songs I've ever heard. The mood is set perfectly, and although there are no lyrics, Jimi & the gang still convey their message.

Lİstening to it again and again
Makes me cry | Reviewer: Five
------ About the song M62 Song performed by Doves
I agree with the aforementioned review above. i first heard this track years ago and it always haunted it me. I forces one to recall numerous feelings, be them a found or lost true love, to the other extreme of drug use and all other feelings in between. The delivery of this track is incredible. Hear it once and it will stick forever in your mind. not many songs can do that, unless you like American Idol, then you are already to fargone for help. Please kill yourself oe shove a pencil in your eardrum and save us the time

With a driving drum beat, beautiful guitar work and lyrics that make you think of a perfect love this song is a perfect 10!
Amazing song. | Reviewer: Josh
------ About the song Willow's Song performed by Doves
This song is the kind of song that makes you feel good. It's not something you can really dance to or sing, but it gives off this sort of of melancholy ambience that really hooks you in. Great to listen to while smoking pot, if you're into that sort of thing.
such a good song | Reviewer: Holly

------ About the song One Of These Days performed by Doves
Not ever having heard any other Doves songs, this was the song that introduced me to the Doves. Immediately i purchased "Some Cities." The Doves strike me as a band with nothing to prove. They do what they do, and they do it well. "One of these days" is a song I wish i'd written, to say the least. It's a song that rushes you to the face of wrath, and freezes you there to stand by and observe, before turning elsewhere in search of an unfounded warmth. This song was not written, it was crafted.
It's a perfect example of why the Doves are so unique. Their sound finds that perfect blance between the humble band, and the sound that you come to realise is a mystery in progress. A mystery in disguise, and a mystery in the making, with a touch of nostalgia.
