Doves are a rockband from Manchester, United Kingdom. They are known for their large, epicsound, which combines dovetailing guitar lines with driving percussion and a penchant for atmospherics. Originally formed in 1989 as Sub Sub, a dance act who coincided with the rise of the Hacienda and the ravescene from Manchester expanding outwards, they enjoyed moderate success for seven years, before suffering the disaster of their studio burning down, taking all their current recordings with them. The experience, tragedy and pressure of that would inspire their name-change, to Doves, and ultimately their first full-length album, "Lost Souls", released in April 2000.. Lost Souls was a dark, atmospheric effort, full of brooding keyboards and claustrophobic light grooves, yet charted at number 13, mainly due to the top 40 singles, "The Cedar Room", "Catch The Sun" and "The Man Who Told Everything".

There Goes The Fear Lyrics
Doves
You can't fool the fool, 'cause I know it in my head
I just want the people to get some before they're dead
You can take my body and dry it in the sun
Seeing vultures circle overhead
This is the home of the beautifully depressed
Life is just a moment that rushes all at once
Letting the vultures surround me when I'm dead
I am the lord of the beautifully depressed
Endlessly, cum for me
Faithfully, bend for me
Lifelessly, hang for me
Endlessly, endlessly
Push me to the limit
I ain't afraid to die
Drive me to the limit
I proudly pledge to die
I dispell the madness by forgetting all the rules
You say I follow in the footsteps of pre-existing fools
Begging vultures to bury off my head
This is the hard life of the beautifully depressed
Endlessly, cum for me
Faithfully, bend for me
Lifelessly, hang for me
Endlessly, endlessly
Push me to the limit
I ain't afraid to die
Look before you're in it
Are you afraid to die
Then join the beautifully depressed
The beautifully depressed...
