the problem with live is: when they hit the part "i didn't notice" another guitar normally kicks in... but it doesn't here... It needs to pick up at that part, and it doesn't.
I tried like hell to get them to do this one in DC this year. They didn't, but i got to hang out with them, and they autographed my Cedar Room single cover. Pix on my myspace. (hexcalibur)
I see what you mean about this performance. His vocals are very strong now though in my opinion if you've seen one of their shows this year you'll know what i mean.
Best song, great band and what a live performance, definitely a spine shaker, just be careful everyone, ONE REPUBLIC will be learning the chords right now to bring out their next single. Sorry about mentioning them but just heard their McDonalds rip off of SEA SONG, F@CK ME!!. Guess it only goes to show how good these guys are...THANKS
c'mon now surely the smiths or joy division are the best bands to come out of manchester but doves are pretty close, the album lost souls is in my top ten of all time.
Exactly, couldn't agree more - innovative, creative, great sound and great musicians - everything that third rate bunch of glorified pub rockers Oasis aren't!
Doves chance of being the next big thing has come and gone, but I think they would be quite happy to remain the way they are, the best kept secret in the world.When you see this song live with a big jango hangin out yer mouth, there is no arctic monkeys, there is no Uk. All there is is music, Doves music.
Do you have any idea what you're talking about? Doves have become steadily more popular over the years, and recieved great press coverage from Some Cities (their latest album). With their next album, I'm sure do amazing.
I always wondered if it was about an ex-lover whom had comitted suicide... Coffins are commonly made from cedar wood and a coffin could be interpreted as a small room...
The part when Jimi sings "I'll be a shadow, in the cedar room. And leave just a memory, alone with you" could be part of the suicide note.
The rest of the lyrics could be about Jimi apologising for not noticing how miserable he'd made the suicide victim (by judging or ignoring them over the years).
@BinaryJustin Thats not right its about a room in a haunted house in the area near where the two bandmembers and twinbrothers andy and jez lived ,Andy called it the cedar room as the song title :D

I first heard this on Later with Jools Holland one Saturday night in 2000.
I couldnt believe how good it was, i had heard nothing like it before.
It went round my head for a week and I wondered if it really had been as good as Id heard.
I got the Lost Souls album a week later and couldnt stop listening to it.
9 years on and I can still put this on repeat for an hour. Its the best song Ive ever heard.
