About Pounding

"Pounding" is the second single from Doves' second studio album The Last Broadcast. The single was released on 22 July 2002 in the UK on CD, DVD and 10" vinyl, reaching #21 on the UK Singles Chart. A single was also released for the song in Australia, and an EP was released in Japan on 17 July 2002 to coincide with Doves' 2002 Japan tour dates. The music video was directed by Julian House and Julian Gibbs at Intro, the same team that directed the band's previous video "There Goes the Fear. " The B-side "Willow's Song" is found on the Japanese EP as the full-length version. Here it includes the 'false start' and runs 4:20. The version of the song found on the next single "Caught by the River" is an 'edit' which cuts out the intro and runs 3:58. The track was used in Mike Taylor's part in Skate More, a skateboarding video released by DVS Shoes in 2005. The track was used in the 2010 Winter Olympics With Glowing Hearts advertisement campaign in Vancouver. An instrumental version is also played regularly in the Manchester City stadium before football matches. more »

I can't stand by 
And see you destroyed 
I can't be here 
And watch you burn up 
Lie for the moment 
And lie as a decoy 
So does it matter 
If I give in easy? 
So why 
Is it so hard to get by? 

[Chorus]
And I say 
We so down 
But it's now or never baby 
We don't mind 
If this don't last forever 
See the light 
But it won't last forever 
Seize the time 
Cause it's now or never baby 

Let's leave at sunrise 
Let's live by the ocean 
I don't mind 
If we never come home at all 
Steal the morning 
So set in motion 
In and out of love 
And institutions 
Cause I know 
This can't last for long 

[Chorus]

So why 
Is it so hard to get by? 
And I say

We so down 
But this can't last forever 
We don't mind 
Cause it's now or never baby
