Official music video for Dry The River - "Gethsemane". The new album 'Alarms In The Heart' is out 25th August. Pre-order: iTunes: georiot.co/2mge Physical: www.musicglue.c...
It's rare that I identify so completely with a band and its music as I did with this one. It absolutely broke my heart when they decided to break up because it just wasn't sustainable to keep making music.
Still my favorite band. Been listening to them since they performed Bible Belt on Watch Listen Tell. Have all their albums in Apple Music. This is one of my favorite songs by them. ❤ So good!
The talent in this band is unreal. I heard the chambers and the valves and just fell in love with it and I foolishly thought "ah this will be their best song by a mile though, the rest won't be so good"
I don't think I've ever cried as much at a band's songs than I have with DTR. Unbelievably talented, it's not normal. Please announce a tour asap. I miss seeing you live - by far the best live band I've seen yet.
This band just keeps getting better and better. This is one of my favourites by Dry The River (so far!). I was at the barrier for their Reading Festival set and it was one of the greatest live performances I've ever seen. The vocals were even better live, as were the instruments. They deserve so much more recognition!
Незабываемая музыка, люблю вас и слушаю с амстердамской музыкальной прогулки в youtube. Не знаю, живы вы или нет, дружите или деретесь, оставили сцену молодыми или пятнистыми старцами. Вы добавили этому миру пространства, вечности и волшебства. Спасибо вам.
"It started with the moon that turned an inexpensive room into St. Peters. There’s a parabolic story, but it’s boring and it ends how you’d expect. Forever dressing down I’m like a stranger hanging round outside the kingdom hall. I’d ‘ve carried your wedding shawl, you could’ve said I was a school friend. And you drag your holy horse cart in the sky when I wake up they say it’s just the sun but I know that face. Excavating down you’d find the drowning and the drowned and then there’s us, babe. You could walk to our memorial, but it’s pourring and it ends how you’d expect. I dig your dresses out and hang ‘em round about the house and turn the lights down low. Now you’re everywhere I go looking faintly disappointed. And you drag your holy horse cart in the sky when I wake up they say it’s just the sun but I know that face. But the devil’s tricks just seem to sit so light on you. They’d never get the marionette this tight on you. In the parliamentary houses there’ll be talk of what this is with inexpert witnesses and evidence against us. But I’ll take my pound of substance from those insubstantial men. Whatever their arguments, I’ll prove your innocence. Drag your holy horse cart in the sky when I wake up, oh yeah. Testify allegiance with more puncture wounds than Jesus, oh yeah. Every statue’s weeping honey and it makes my sight go funny ‘cause I’m over sympathetic and I can’t control myself. Leave that painful memory in the garden of Gethsemane, oh yeah, oh yeah.”
I absolutely adore this song, and i'm really into music like this, and whenever i get my friends to listen to this, the don't really like it which i think is displeasing as the majority of the younger audience, end up listening to superficial stuff, instead of real music like this, so i'm glad i've gotten a good insight into good music
This is such a criminally underrated song that it hurts, under half a million views and I could swear with ease that at least a couple hundred are mine.
Dry the river just keeps delivering music with so much heart, one of my absolute favourite bands of all time. And on top of that they are amazing live performers. Just brilliant!

Dry The River - Gethsemane
Amazing new song from an amazing band. Seen them live several times (at huge festivals and small intimate venues), and they are always so good. They just keep getting better.
Dry the River, please please keep doing what you're doing. You are incredibly talented and I can't even put into words how grateful I am for your hauntingly beautiful music and lyrics. Love love love. X
man this song gets to me in a way i didn't think was possible-DTR always impresses and i'm still not disappointed. thanks for making this music. it's much different than everything else out there and it's so… reassuring?? i really don't know how to describe it.
I love everything about this song and video - from the lyrics and music down to the details such as Pete's gestures, the way Scott's hair looks like a shampoo commercial :D, the choice of clothes and location for the video, their visible exhaustion at the end since they'd just put 110% of themselves into the performance...Dry the River have outdone themselves again :)
Ser de México y creer que soy la única persona que conoce a Dry the river, de lo que se pierden. Son brillantes!, y se que no leerán mi mensaje o no lo entenderán pero espere demaciado por una canción de ustedes, los amo.
***** Dios. Enserio que me alegro de saber que por lo menos hay pocas personas que me entenderán ya que es feo que nos tachen de malos gustos sólo porque no concordamos en el mismo artista o grupo! gracias chicos! me acaban de alegrar el día
EPIC! I love this band and I'm liking the kind of new approach to this new album with it being slightly rockier than Shallow Bed. They are the masters of the crescendo!
Sério, é tão triste que uma banda tão incrível quanto essa tenha acabado, eles com certeza mereciam mais reconhecimento. Cada música me toca na alma e eu sou realmente grata por ter conhecido a banda ainda em atividade. Pena que eu não pude ter ido a uma apresentação ao vivo, tenho certeza que teria sido uma experiência fantástica...
Oh dear, oh dear, at last, a new album! I couldn't wait to hear something new, but at the same time I wondered if they could they get any better. They exceeded my expectations and hopes. Come to Poland, please! I missed your two concerts and still can't over that. Hearing you guys live is one of my biggest dreams.
Really love this new track...and I've gladly waited oh so long!! You mustn't rush quality. The new album launches on Aug.25. Already got mine pre-ordered. Can't hardly wait!!!
This band is so underrated it hurts
Word...
yes it's so sad they're such an amazing band
I cry
Keep supporting!
This is a band that should never been allowed to quit!!!!
It's rare that I identify so completely with a band and its music as I did with this one. It absolutely broke my heart when they decided to break up because it just wasn't sustainable to keep making music.
❤️
It gutted me when I heard that they broke up! At least I got to see them live once before doing so...
Same!! So sad
Saw them in DC and LA amazing
They weee one of my favourites as well ❤😢
This song and this band changed my life. Like, 6/7 years ago. And I'm here just right to tell this.
I keep coming back to them, as well.
Oh my God I finally found this song again after so many years. I couldn't be happier
Just remember that wanker Bass player ruined the band. He thought he was Jim Morrison.
This remains as one of the most beautiful songs I've heard
♥️
Still my favorite band. Been listening to them since they performed Bible Belt on Watch Listen Tell. Have all their albums in Apple Music. This is one of my favorite songs by them. ❤ So good!
I would cry if they got back together
same!
♥️
Dry The River simultaneously fill my heart and break it. I adore this.
😭
Please stay together. Your music brings so much joy to so many people. I am so heartbroken. :(
smurfinit48 peter is making music now you should check it out!
The talent in this band is unreal. I heard the chambers and the valves and just fell in love with it and I foolishly thought "ah this will be their best song by a mile though, the rest won't be so good"
I swear I revisit this song every few months.
I don't think I've ever cried as much at a band's songs than I have with DTR. Unbelievably talented, it's not normal. Please announce a tour asap. I miss seeing you live - by far the best live band I've seen yet.
Just bought my tickets for October!
Saw then in oxford on the eleventh, incredible! Well worth it, would go again.
Never heard anything like this before. Utterly amazing.
OH MY GOD ... this SONG is ...
I miss you so much! come back please
BEST UNDERRATED BAND EVER....GUYS YOU MAKE ME WANT TO STOP JAMMIN!
Without any doubt one of the best songs I have ever experienced. I'm at a loss as to why most people I know aren't even aware of it.
This band just keeps getting better and better. This is one of my favourites by Dry The River (so far!). I was at the barrier for their Reading Festival set and it was one of the greatest live performances I've ever seen. The vocals were even better live, as were the instruments. They deserve so much more recognition!
Every sentence in this song is like a poet in itself...one of my absolute favorite songs ever
What a crying shame this band is no longer together

This album always make think of fall. I love it.
"It started with the moon

Oh my the high quality of this song

If the rest of the album is anything like this song, I'll love it even more than Shallow Bed - something I would never have thought possible!
This is such a criminally underrated song that it hurts, under half a million views and I could swear with ease that at least a couple hundred are mine.
♥️
Amazing song and still great to listen to it 🎉❤
Dry the river just keeps delivering music with so much heart, one of my absolute favourite bands of all time. And on top of that they are amazing live performers. Just brilliant!
Beautiful songwriting combined with a perfect melody.
Well done gents!
Dry The River - Gethsemane Lyrics
Album: Alarms in the Heart
It started with the moon
That turned an inexpensive room
Into Saint Peter's
There's a parabolic story
But it's boring and it ends
How you'd expect
Forever dressing down
I'm like a stranger hanging round
Outside the Kingdom Hall
I'd have carried your wedding shawl
You could have said
I was a school friend
And you drag your holy horse-cart
In the sky. When I wake up
They say it's just the sun
But I know that face
Excavating down
You'd find the drowning
And the drowned
And then there's us babe
You could walk to our memorial
But its pouring
And it ends how you'd expect
I dig your dresses out and hang them
Roundabout the house
And turn the lights down low
Now you're everywhere I go
Looking faintly disappointed
And you drag your holy horse-cart
In the sky. When I wake up
They say it's just the sun
But I know that face
And the devil's tricks
Just seem to sit so light on you.
They'd never get the marionette
This tight on you
In the parliamentary houses
there'll be talk of what this is
With an expert witnesses
And evidence against us
But I'll take my pound of substance
From those insubstantial men
Whatever their arguments
I'll prove your innocence
Drag your holy horse-cart in the sky
When I wake up - oh yeah!
Testify allegiance
with more puncture wounds than Jesus
Oh yeah!
Every statue's weeping, honey
and it makes my sight go funny
Cuz I'm over sympathetic
And I can't control myself
Leave that painful memory
in the garden of gethsemane! Oh yeah!
Dry The River - Gethsemane
Best ever ! Great ! Please new Album!
The little breaks in this song, have a very National feel. I love it. Some of their best work. Ben Taylor will be very proud of his brother.
I'm pretty sure 40,000 of the current 47,181 views are mine. Can't wait for the new record!
no, theyre all mine :)
Why such an Amazing and Wonderful Band is so underrated, why?????
My god, I've died and gone to heaven. Thank you Dry The River.
After years, I can finally sigh relief. Such a beautiful band, I am looking so forward to their new album.
Can't stop listening to this song! It is amazing, as every Dry the River song ♥
This is an amazing song.
Epic comeback!!
Just sooo good !!? Thank God for Dry the River!?
agreed!
So glad I had the chance to see them live in Estonia a couple years ago
This is such a fantastic and beautiful song. Been listening to it for days.
Some fantastic song writing, but I miss the violin
goosebumps on my heart
Amazing new song from an amazing band. Seen them live several times (at huge festivals and small intimate venues), and they are always so good. They just keep getting better.
I've literally got tears in my eyes while listening. It sounds amazing!!
A perfect video to be added to my 'afternoon tea' playlist❤
Dry the River, please please keep doing what you're doing. You are incredibly talented and I can't even put into words how grateful I am for your hauntingly beautiful music and lyrics. Love love love. X

This band
finally, music I can actually enjoy, dry the river always delivers ;)
I love everything about this song and video - from the lyrics and music down to the details such as Pete's gestures, the way Scott's hair looks like a shampoo commercial :D, the choice of clothes and location for the video, their visible exhaustion at the end since they'd just put 110% of themselves into the performance...Dry the River have outdone themselves again :)
I remember when I found these guys like 4 or 5 years ago. I love their music too much.
One of the most beautiful songs iv'e come across.
Yeah!!!*-* the voice is amazing!
Only 269,000 views? BLASPHEMY
I know, they are too mainstream now... ;P

Really beautiful song, like so many of their other songs...really looking forward to later this month!

They know how to play their guitars and drums. That's rare with today's music.

Oh dear, oh dear, at last, a new album! I couldn't wait to hear something new, but at the same time I wondered if they could they get any better. They exceeded my expectations and hopes.
