Just discovered Douglas Dare this past week as he was opening up for Fink on his North American tour... I was in awwww when the first chord played and I couldn't stop myself from wanting to hear more!! Great artist that I'm very happy to have discovered!!
Through blades of grass I saw you stand And lose balance But I could not, read your head So I sat, and waited And held my mouth So I could love you without distracting sounds I, I'd sail down the river Nile, Just to keep you alive and well I'm lost, within My world of sins With all you touch But I can not confess I, I'd sail down the river Nile, But the truth couldn't help you now Couldn't help you Couldn't help you now Couldn't help you Couldn't help you now Couldn't help you Couldn't help you now
Honestly shocked this guy isn't mainstream yet. Like, the quality and intricacy in his music is absolutely astounding. It's only a matter of time, really.
I watched iboy and listen to his song swim and now I can't stop. His music calms me. I got done with my essay less than a hour when it normally takes me 2 hours 😂
I don't understand why you're not more popular because you are literally amazing!!! I didn't even know about you but iBoy brought me here and I'm literally so thankful that I watched it! :D
That's not how it works. It depends on the artist and what he wants to do and a few other factors (I think the label plays a role in it? Erased Tapes seems a pretty cool one though). Just take a look around and you'll see a good bunch of artists who simply improved their style over time. Nils Frahm, Kendrick Lamar and Deadmau5 are such exemples in different genres of music. They do what they want to do and their fans love it. However if you want a recent group who went full commercial and mainstream just look at LeMaitre. What a shame... Then again maybe they were always on the edge to go this way, their music was always very easy to listen to and quite catchy, but there was substance behind it. But maybe I'm biased because I really didn't like Relativity 3 and their following songs.
Thanks for being awesome, this peice is so powerful and I stumbled upon it completely by chance. I’m very moved by the lyrics and videography , a true inspiration. I’m a pianist - singer songwriter , if you ever wanted to collaborate. It would be a honour to be in one of your pieces.
Gia Lisa Krahne oh thanks ! Really ! But I don't really understand what to buy exactly to have the totality of them. :x The most expensive I suppose ? (It's not disturbing, I think he deserves that, but just to know and have it !!!) Thank you again, and enjoy Douglas Dare's poetry.
Diss0lvant My pleasure :-) I wasn't sure either (also it's listed in pounds!); but I bought more expensive one. Was able to download into my itunes.... and read through poems while listening....
Hi doglous 👋 I'm from cg 🏫 clara grant I remember you from our school the school is getting ruder and some of us are getting nicer I'm in Yr 4 my brother is in Yr 6 now I hope you come back soon ❤️ from Aairah please reply
I am absolutely in love with this piece, and the rest of the album too. Would you mind if I use it in a video of mine? I will give full credit to you in the video and provide links to you and your album in the description. It's just a beautiful song that brings up many emotions I would like to put into picture.

Through blades of grass
I saw you stand
And lose balance
But I could not, read your head
So I sat, and waited
And held my mouth
So I could love you without distracting sounds
I, I'd sail down the river Nile,
Just to keep you alive and well
I'm lost, within
My world of sins
With all you touch
But I can not confess
I, I'd sail down the river Nile,
But the truth couldn't help you now
Couldn't help you
Couldn't help you now
Couldn't help you
Couldn't help you now
Couldn't help you
Couldn't help you now
what an underrated masterpiece, been with me all these years
Please produce more songs like this sir, it helps me my mental health keeps me going calms me.

when was great art ever mainstream? maybe back at the times of mozart, bach, schubert and so on
Mainstream nowadays is trash for more than 99% of music. Maybe except for the electronic genre's.
I watched iboy and listen to his song swim and now I can't stop. His music calms me. I got done with my essay less than a hour when it normally takes me 2 hours 😂
IT MAKES ME FEEL LIKE I WANNA JUMP FROM SOMEWHERE HIGH AND FLY AND NEVER GET DOWN.
Greetings from Sofia!
Awesome concert!!
I love this song so much. It hurts.
This might be one of the greatest songs I've heard in a while
I ALSO THING THE SAME WAY.
I don't understand why you're not more popular because you are literally amazing!!! I didn't even know about you but iBoy brought me here and I'm literally so thankful that I watched it! :D
Saw him perform this one evening on a piano in an open-air gig in Kathmandu. Absolutely magical!
One of the best music video I have ever seen.
Gdansk before Fink... it was amazing wonderfull etc. Thanks Douglas Dare.
This is incredibly good. I love the "Swim" song too. Found you by accident, and it made me happy. Great music!!!
I am in awe...enchanting music and am entranced by your voice DD!!
i love this so much!! thank u!!
how are you not more popular
Popularity = commercial. I would hate seeing Douglas Dare ruined by what the public thinks is "cool"

Popular? Being popular has little to do with good music. If he was popular I doubt you would getting music of this depth and quality.
you read my mind. This song is giving me the goosebumps
Ya i was literally thinking the same

This is beautiful, I love it.
Congratulations from Brazil! Your music saves me every day. I am very happy for your existence. You're special! ❤
