"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 Rise performed by Doves
I have to agree. There is something quite inexplicable that happens to me when I hear it. It has happened perhaps for only three pieces of music in my life. That said, I have been searching for more for about two years now using modern tools like itunes genius, amazon recommendations and lists like this. I have found a lot of good music and spent hundreds of dollars but I am still searching.

------ About the song Ambition performed by Doves
I don't think this song is misleading in title, or anything.
I think it's straight to the point.
It's talking about how high a persons hopes will get when the opportunity of "Something as good.
Something new. Somebody good." comes up.
They get ideals and expectations filling their head, and once it comes to them, it doesn't turn out to be what the person thought, and is in a way their downfall. And somehow, people never learn, and continually hurt themselves. A faulty foundation. I think it's talking about that.
This song chokes me up, I adore it.

Another FINE song by the Doves!!! Man....I love this band!! Seriously. Great acoustics...a horn of some sort playing, some echoy vocals. Then the strings kick in and the chills happen up the back of my neck. Just superb!! Love every bit of it.

Just listen to the beat of this song. LOVE it. Such smooth almost dreamy vocals mixed with the coolness of the beat....great song!!! Some artists were just meant to be. Surprised they aren't bigger than they are. But glad they aren't at the same. Heard one of their songs while on hold with Wal-Mart the other day too...made me smile. Big!

The song played at the very end of this episode is a remixed version of "Proud" by Heather Small. The regular version of this song plays during the series's two-part pilot episode when Michael and Brian are on the roof of the hospital together

Wow....does it get better than this? How this band hasn't made it HUGE in the ears of everyone, I don't understand. I play this for my co-workers all the time....it's great!! They're basically forced to listen to Doves music all the time. I don't think they mind though. It's good for them.

Doves Rise | Reviewer: Steve
------ About the song Rise performed by Doves
Despit the fact that I consider myself a complete audio-phile, I have always scoffed at people that expressed such sentiments like music changing their lives, or giving their lives meaning. That said, I do experience a certain emotion at th sound of this song that I can't even put my finger on. All I know, is that I can't come close to getting tired of hearing it and it gets better every time I hear it. Although I can't say anything like "this song is the reason I'm alive now.." or "this song gives my life purpose..." the Doves' "Rise" has moved things inside of me whenever it plays. I like this band very much, I look forward to every new albumn.

------ About the song Pounding performed by Doves
What a most brilliant song. If this was written and performed by U2, this would have been a worldwide number one for the last 6 months (I do realise that this song is 5/6 years old!). How anyone cannot get emotionally aroused by this melody, must be soulless. One of the best songs in the last 20 years. Doves, you rule.

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.

------ 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.
