"Renegade" by Doves

I will confess that while Doves have been around for decades now, they have not been on my radar...but this song...something about it...I just can't let it go. The seasoned, masterful vocal rendering a weary lyrical sense, the rich sound, the almost psychedelic feeling of swirling melody...

Far from the crazy scenes on pavements down below
Far from the hopes and dreams of crashing out too low
And you walk out that door then you’re walking out forever

And you ask yourself are you living in a dream?
Piccadilly Gardens selling dreams on giant screens
And as you make for the door this time you’re walking out
…out forever

So the rain falls down and nothing lasts forever…
If you could have only seen what I’ve seen …with your eyes
then you will know that everything expires….

Oh Renegade

Far above the mayhem where we’re told we live the dream
Piccadilly Gardens, the same old sorry scenes
As you walk out the door
Then your walking out, you’re out forever

So the rain falls down
And nothing, lasts forever
And If you could only see what I’ve seen…with your eyes
Then you’ll know that everything expires

Oh Renegade

Far from the hopes and dreams, of crashing out so low
Far from the hopes and dreams, of falling down below
And the rain falls down
But nothing ,last forever
And you know that everything expires….

Oh Renegade...
Oh Renegade
