About White Town

"Black and White Town" is the lead single on Doves' third album, Some Cities. The single was released as a promo CD on 13 December 2004, and as a full single on 7 February 2005. The song scored the band their second Top 10 hit, charting at #6 on the UK Singles Chart. The atmospheric single is noted for its heavy piano and guitars played in unison, with Andy Williams' percussion maintaining a driving beat. The music video for "Black and White Town", directed by Lynne Ramsay, was filmed on the Summerston council estate in Glasgow. There also exists a "director's cut" of the video, featuring different footage, which can be found on the DVD in the limited edition box set version of the Some Cities album. The song was used prominently by the BBC during their coverage of the 2005 Six Nations rugby tournament. Not only was it used in the 2005 Six Nations championships, but it is still used in the BBC's coverage of all international rugby. It is also used for Sky's coverage of the UEFA Champions League, as well as being used in the video game FIFA 06 and BBC's Top Gear. more »

I can't understand 
After everything that we planned, 
How you could turn around to me and 
whisper goodbye. Well I've been dropped before 
But not so high off the floor 
And I just can't seem to pick myself up 
again. If it's something that I said 
That made you feel this way, 
Then I take back every word from the first 
hello, But most likely I know. 
Your parents said baby no 
And the boy you told your friends about 
just had to go. Well it's a white town 
with green trees. And nothing in love is free 
So if it's not worth fighting for It's worth nothing at all.
