Out of here
We're out of here
Along with fear
There goes the fear again
There goes the fear

And cars speed fast
Out of here
And life goes past
Again so near
There goes the fear again
There goes the fear

Close your brown eyes
And lay down next to me
Close your eyes, lay down
'Cause there goes the fear
Let it go

You turn around and life's passed you by
You look to ones you love
to ask them why?
You look to those you love
to justify
You turned around and life's
passed you by
Passed you by, again

And late last night
Makes up her mind
Another fight
Left behind
There goes the fear again, let it go
There goes the fear

Close your brown eyes
And lay down next to me
Close your eyes, lay down
'Cause there goes the fear
Let it go

You turn around and life's
passed you by
You look to ones you love
to ask them why?
You look to those you love
to justify, why?
You turned around and life's
passed you by

Think of me when you're coming down
But don't look back when leaving town
Think of me when he's calling out
But don't look back when leaving town
Think of me when you close your eyes
But don't look back when you break all ties
Think of me when you're coming down
But don't look back when leaving town today

There goes the fear again, let it go
There goes the fear, let it go

Think of me when you close your eyes
But don't look back when you break all ties
Think of me when you're coming down
But don't look back when leaving town today

Another band I didn't know about til RP (still wish the logo was RP as it's more recognizable in a split second than the headphones are) Pretty decent. Nice break between the corny big band music I have to keep skipping as it interrupts the background music vibe.

This song always makes me think of Gomez's song Hamoa Beach.

The Brazilian styled ending just doesn't go with the main part of the song at all.  It's got a completely different vibe.

It is a good album, although I like their debut, "Lost Souls", better. Or maybe I just haven't given enough listen to this one.

Btw RP Introduced me to this Band in 2002 and I immediately bought their CD. I'm surprised they didn't make it big, I really thought it was the most original sound I had heard in a while, probably since Radiohead, certainly since Coldplay. I know the lyrics are super Christian... but whatevs.

There was a big pause there Bill.... I'm not sure if I like it better that way or not. This just doesn't seem to segue...........

Remember back in the AM days, when the DJ would talk over, or just fade out the last 20 seconds of a song?  I wish you would do that with this song!  Better yet, the last minute.

Some music videos enhance the song. This is one of those times. I already liked the song, but after seeing the video... I flipping loved it. I'd highly recommend people check it out. It certainly "explains" the ending a little, kinda, maybe, perhaps, sorta...

I really like these guys...but I don't know that I like their music as a whole enough to purchase an album...like somebody once said on this site (can't remember who or when), "I don't know that I'd buy an album full of 7's." I certainly enjoy almost everything I've heard from The Doves, but usually an album has to be full of 8's and above for my picky self to spend money on it. That way I'm more confident that I'll still dig the CD many years down the road. As a result, I've rarely sold/given away any of my music. May not work for everyone, but it works for me. Oh, and I believe that squeeky instrument sound is the "cuica."

This album in particular gives me good vibes. I 'm dissapointed that their new one hasn't caught on with me.

This post is a sad commentary of our times. To have this song (which I gave a generous 5) be someone's favorite song of 2002 tells us how little good new music is out there. How would this song rate if it came out in 1993? 1969? It wouldn't even be in the top 100. No offense to IndiEric intended, but his post bums me out....
I dunno. It seems kinda odd to me that you would assume that everyone likes what you like and then be bummed out to find out otherwise. There's a whole lotta stuff that came out in 1969 and 1993 that plenty of people love, but I think it stinks. It seems to me that there's always stuff that I like a lot, stuff that's merely okay, and stuff that (to me) is crap. Same as it ever was.

The Doves' 2002 album repeatedly shows up on critics' Top 20 albums of the year lists. These are people who have been reviewing music for quite some time, and in all genres. It's also on my list. Could this mean there were slim pickings in 2002? I don't think so...2002 also saw the release of Beck: Sea Change, Coldplay: A Rush of Blood to the Head, Michelle Shocked: Deep Natural, Wilco: Yankee Hotel Foxtrot, Neko Case: Blacklisted, and Gomez: In Our Gun, among others. As I've said before, people tend to suffer from the 'locality effect'...2002 is still too close to the present to offer any perspective. I'll wager any amount you'd like that in 30 years you'll look back on the 00's fondly and reminisce the way you do now over 1969. Still an excellent tune, and album, in my book.

Perhaps the post you responded to, together with your own, are really just testaments to how greatly musical tastes can vary. It's not as though there's any rational standard for "good new music" by which you or anyone else can measure a given song or band. Sorry you're bummed, but I think you'll be okay.
