Lyrics
If you're fond of sand dunes and salty air
Quaint little villages here and there
[Instrumental Break]
If you're fond of sand dunes and salty air
Quaint little villages here and there
If you're fond of sand dunes and salty air
Quaint little villages here and there
If you're fond of sand dunes and salty air
Quaint little villages here and there
If you're fond of sand dunes
If you're fond of sand dunes
If you're fond of sand dunes
If you're fond of sand dunes
[Instrumental Break]
If you're fond of sand dunes and salty air
Quaint little villages here and there
If you're fond of sand dunes and salty air
Quaint little villages here and there
If you're fond of sand dunes and salty air
Quaint little villages here and there
If you're fond of sand dunes and salty air
Quaint little villages here and there
I’ve been searching for this song for ages. I heard it almost 20 years ago, it’s melody ingrained in my head but not the title. You can’t imagine the relief I feel right now
Another as cool as this is Slip Into Something More Comfortable - Kinobe.
I had the same thing happen except I found it after 4 years. I'm glad you have rediscovered it after so long! It's a truly beautiful song that pulls all of those feelings out :)
@@SoFkwHat80 dam
I had the same with Lovely Head by Goldfrapp. Man i was so chuffed when I found it.
Aw man. Like you've taken your first breath right...
It was 2002 when I discovered this song and Groove Armada, my then girlfriend and I were into them. This moment in time was for me a new beginning in my life, a rebirth almost. This song reminds me of that feeling I had back then. She died of breast cancer at 56…Mandy you pulled me out of that hole I was in. Thank you.
Amazing comment. Nothing like crying in public, on a Monday morning, in the break room at work. And nothing like reading the comments of strangers to take you there. And(!!!) there's nothing like this song. This hook is a complete experience. You use your ears, heart and soul. I can't help feeling like it's up above and on into that plane of...just above music. It's obviously music, it's Groove Armada, but it's a tiny bit more, than just that.
I was always an insomniac and back in the 90s I'd stay up all night watching Open University. They used to play this music during the intermissions. I assumed it was a piece of stock music written for just that purpose. Then one day, I saw a die hard film. In the basement at the airport there was a gramaphone playing. Recognising it as the sample used in this track I rushed over to my mothers house and played it for her on the piano to find out what it was. She recognised it but all she could tell me was "It's about the seaside but I can't remember the lyrics" I then put all of these details on a DIY forum in the vague hope that someone would know what I'm talking about. Finally after more than a decade of searching, someone answered my prayers and told me that the record playing in Die Hard was "Old Cape Cod" by Patsi Paige and this was used as a sample on the track "At the River" by Groove Armada.
Beautiful ❤️❤️
😢. Hope your life is happy This music brought me back too
@@anna-mariapontonio3220 yes, I’m happy, thank you.
My husband and I fell in love with this song when it was the track on an M&S advert. Whenever it played on the TV we would just stop whatever we were doing and just listen to it. I hunted for it in secret and eventually found it. I played it for him as a surprise on Christmas morning and am in tears writing this as he passed away nearly eight years ago. This track just popped up on KZhead after something else I was watching. Once again I just stopped and listened to it. It's nice to know that so many other people have been touched by it as we were ❤
I can feel you on that one.... my wife passed 3+ years ago. may they rest in peace and wait for us. best wishes and deep hugs.
Got goose bumps reading your post. 💖 I heard this song for the first time today.. I can see why we all love it ...
♥️
The poignant reminder that...we are all just passing through. Thank you
My hubby and I loved it too. He passed away 16 months ago, aged 44.
I’m 70 years old and have just found this song and it is truly magical.
And just think you were four when Patti Page sang the original
kzhead.info/sun/lJdtm62DjZuamIE/bejne.html
That is truly amazing
We are both jodies so i felt the need to reply, This song reminds me of my mother and the magic I feel when listening to it makes me feel whole again. ❤
This isn't just a spliff, this is an M&S spliff, rolled to perfection with care using only the finest ingredients.
hahaaaaaaaaaaaa...lmao ,mate I literally just saw the commercial and fought of this song.
@@raymondchisiuc3330 I was in primary school and it was ALWAYS on itv1
5star comment sir!
Comedy genius my friend. Laughed my boll8cks off.
“Vegan pigs in blankets”
"If you're fond of sand dunes and salty air, Quaint little villages here and there." Very emotional song. So many pleasant memories. Thank you very much.
Whatever its beautiful.
22 years ago, my father went on a business trip to California and drove along the coast from San Diego to San Francisco. Before completing the journey though, he stopped by Monterey and entered a music shop where this song was playing. Every time he told me this story, he always emphasized how it felt like he was “levitating” while walking through the store’s shelves. I was born a few years later and the same Vertigo copy he bought that day still makes up an essential part of my life. I hope to be able to travel to California someday and do the exact same thing...
What a story mark!
California is such a beautiful state and yes I feel the same way when I drive up the coast on the 1 and looking at the sea it’s such a beautiful feeling so peaceful.
Listen to Ivy Edge of the ocean it also does it to me
This song is mystical, magical and an amazingly inspired force.
I drove San Fran to LA one year, stopping at Hearst Castle. Monterey was amazing (aquarium especially), but the place had such a chilled vibe it was great.
This song reminds me of when my grandparents would take me to the seaside for the day, driving there, walking down the pier, eating fish and chips and just having a good time, the car journey home, everything. You don't realize how fondly you'll look back at each little moment of that day. They both passed and the memory feels so far away but this song brings it closer. ♥
"In 1998, a sample of Patti Page's recording of "Old Cape Cod" formed the basis of Groove Armada's 1998 UK hit "At the River". The lines "If you're fond of sand dunes and salty air, / Quaint little villages here and there..." sung in Page's multi-tracked close-harmony, are repeated over and over, with the addition of synthesizer bass, slowed-down drums and a bluesy trombone solo to produce a chill-out track. "
And they called it "At the river" & not "At the beach" *facepalm*
@@MGrayl-ib5foYeah...salty rivers? 🤦♂️
My daughter introduced me to this song as we drove through Ireland on vacation. It’s absolutely mesmerizing and has ingrained itself in my memory forever ❤
And a perfect spot to discover this tune - such beautiful country.
chillest track in the history of chill
1,000%
Come back
You're right it's so chill
We dont search for old songs, we search for old memories
True!
Hit
We got to the tent too late at V2000 to get inside, when these gods of trip-hop & other Grooves played, so we reclined resplendently on the grass outside. It was all the more transcendental for it. We weren't being jostled, no edging yourself into a small space trying to find one of your own, that horn player melted my head from 5 metres away through a tarpaulin. 22 years on, it still melts my head. Thanks for the memories Groove Armada. I love youse.
This song takes me to a different place. Something about the chord arrangements, melody...lyrics. Beautiful.
+CaliKim29 Garden & Home DIY try the original old cape cod
Does this place involve sand dunes and salty air? Quaint little villages, here and there?
Same. In a beach watching the sunset.
Same over here. I used to listen to this song 4/5 years over and over and over again. It really takes u differend places.
CaliKim29 Garden & Home DIY if u mean Christmas then yes me too
After struggling with depression for 6 years and still to this day, this song was the only thing that has ever made me happy 😊 👍🏻
Don't be depressed, when this song came out back in 97, I was on my 4th year in state prison, I heard it in the joint.
Te entiendo 💜
Same here. This music changed my life
This is one of the best house tracks of all time.
There's no excuse claiming to be depressed, especially if you were lucky enough to be born in a 1st world country.
My favorite song of all time and has been since I was 16. That’s 20 years ago. This one will be played at my funeral (if only someone remembers this comment).
Yes, resonating with that. To me it's one of my Good Songs for the End of the World ✨
Mee too
I so want this to be the last song I ever hear @AnthonyLavall
You alive or dead Anthony ?
@@RaviSingh-cr9mo sorry to keep you waiting a day! Had you worried I am sure. I'm still going but thanks for asking. Check in with me again in another 10 years.
Used to listen to this with my grandmother, whilst driving between her home and mine, about 12 years ago. I will forever remember the warm sun through the windscreen and the safety I felt
Isn't love great?
The ULTIMATE chill-out ANTHEM.
I saw this music video many, many years ago, when I was a teenager and it stuck with me, but I could never remember the correct lyrics, even though I had the melody in my head - very frustrating! Today I was sitting at a restaurant and this song came up! The music was familiar at first and when I heard the lyrics I couldn't believe it - I've been searching for this song for almost two decades. Even though it's not very polite, I immediately pulled my phone out and entered the lyrics, so I won't forgot again and here I am! I'm so happy and nostalgic right now ☺
That's awesome lol. Same sort of thing has happened to me, I'd be at work listening to the radio which plays the same songs basically every single day, but everyone once in a blue moon a song I've been searching for for years will come on, I'd immediately open Shazam on my phone and capture the song. Such a satisfying moment 😁 to find this song though I just searched on KZhead "marks and spencers advert" 🤣
Yeah remember it for my hours commute to my work on a coach! 1998, I think..xxxx
@@elsden722 I haven't heard this song since it came out in 1999. Such a smooth piece of ark, great times
I first heard this on an album called Chilled Ibiza over 20 years ago (I think), and for me it perfectly encapsulated the whole Mediterranean summer holiday feeling. It's fantastic and still feels the same today.
Thank you . Haved been trying to find in my CD collection.
This song is played in the movie “About Time” and the scene where they’re playing tennis by the beach and the afternoon sun shining makes the perfect setting for the theme of this song.
I’ve seen that movie and love this song and don’t remember it from that movie. Maybe Mandela effect 🤷♀️
The movie is exactly how I found out about the song all those years ago. Can’t believe that was 10 years ago already
About 20 years ago (at least) we went on holiday to the Norfolk Broads (for non-UK readers, that's an area of waterways in the east of England) and took an evening's cruise on a Mississippi-style paddle steamer. While we were on the journey this song played on the ship's PA system, and I remember thinking how soothing and relaxing it was. I've been looking for it ever since, and I've finally found it!
My opinion - one of the greatest down tempo tracks of all time. Can’t put my finger on the why what or how but great all the same. All thanks to Groove Armada ……
2020 and this is still a masterpiece.
"Masterpiece"? lol ok
Totally awesome
@@vyrnmn isn't it cool how art is completely subjective
soy MEXICANO
Do this again in 2021? It’s almost here !
I am feeling so sorry coming across this song for the first time. Played it about 10 times in a row. It is not only fricking great, it's not only great stuff to play at a hot sunset at the beach with a bear and your love close, it's also the stuff of dreams and the subconscious. I'm slightly lost for words, sorry. Thanks a bunch Groove Armada.
Watch out for those bears though.
Very well stated.✌
Can you tell me where the beach is I love chilling with lazy bear's 🤣
the bear is also entranced, do not worry
Forger the bears, listen to the full length track...
Heard this for the first time yesterday and was instantly obsessed. Spending summers with my wife in Cape Cod for years, I sent her the link saying "This reminds me of you and me in Provincetown". I just found out today that the sample is from Patti Page - Old Cape Cod from 1957! After going down a rabbit hole of listening to more Groove Armada I am now a huge fan. Thanks GA for a masterpiece . I'll be playing this all summer long.
Check out more Patti Page if you do not know her work.
2022 and this is still gorgeous, contemporary and timeless 💜
It is wonderful when you discover something as beautiful as this.

Fabric That's a coincidence. It's the same thing *I* said when I met your wife, too! 😮
Just did, here at the end of 2019,,, glad I did too
@@comanchio1976 That's a coincidence. It's the same thing I said when I found out she liked it in the but.
You need to check out edge hill by groove armada
I just discovered this song and was reminded that no matter how old we become, there's ALWAYS new "experiences" to be had. Absolutely gorgeous song. Holy shit, I need to play this on-repeat for a few hours!!!
Tune and vocals thanks to Patti Page, she deserves credit. I love this rendition of her song "Old Cape Cod".
Epic sample! Brava Patti Page!
This is what happens when you’re music gets recycled after being so old no one cares. His music will be the same an someday.
kzhead.info/sun/e7hrkdNoqZWuonk/bejne.html
THANK YOU! Patti Page 👏🏼 ❤ & the actual songwriters - not these folks!- - otherwise this recycling would never exist.
@@virghammer1 And so many people would NEVER have heard either of that song or of her if it hadn't been this song.
I was sat on a beach in Menorca at six o'clock one morning! Beach totally deserted! I was in a world of my own! Total bliss! Ahhh😎💕
For 22 years I was searching for this song. Heard it on the radio one summer morning, enjoying my slumber before getting up. Finally The chorus has been stuck on my mind all these years. Quaint, blissful memories... now on repeat for the foreseeable future.
Reminds me of my lost years wandering around the beaches of Cornwall and UK wonderfully tune that's ingrained in my memory but for the life of me didn't know the name of tune or group. Great times
As an individual fond of both sand dunes, and salty air I very much appreciate this song!
Quaint little feelings....
@@Gravitron89me too!
Light one with me. Let's get back to that era when everything seemed to be possible. I think it still is if we stick and act together. Love you all! Take care of your mental health, don't believe everything you hear from mainstream. I'm sharing my positive thoughts with all of you!
Go Mojo, loads more of us out there... Having a great life..
love you
I woke a few months ago with this tune in my head and couldn’t get the lyrics no matter how hard I tried and couldn’t find the title. So I called my friends and would hum the tune but no one knew it. It bothered me so much! What if I never figure it out? Then today on the last song on the playlist of my Pilates class there it was. I feel like my purpose in life is complete…. Thanks…ahhhh that feels so good
Just found this song after having a breakdown. Really helped me. Edit 1 year later: Can't thank you enough for all the support guys. 💕 I'm much better now. It's insane how much can change within a year.
Patti Page - Old Cape Cod - source
Same, years prior. Cheers!
Hope all is well with you now, keep strong mate. Dave
Its certainly relaxing isn't it?
Hope you are better now friend.
What is it I love about this tune so much? The vocal that reminds me of when I lived in North Wales? That trombone that arouses some deep emotion from this cold, old, hard heart of mine or that laid back beat that's in no hurry to go anywhere? Probably a combination of all those things. 🙂❤
Heard this last time in kusadasi Turkey 15years ago but on the program loaded in paradise brought it all back home a mint song love love
Listening to this during the corona outbreak wondering how it's gonna change our world
same here
Me too ✌❤
It's all a Scamdemic stop letting them control you
It’s crazy how it’s been a year..
This too passed 🎉❤
I discovered this song in 2020, and it was part of the collection of chill music that got me through that stressful year. Tonight I was watching Die Hard 2 and heard "Old Cape Cod" playing on that old record and my mind exploded.
Patti Page's vocals are definitely what makes this track work.
This isn't a just a song. This is a smooth, groovy, eargasmic M&S song
Nice reference!!!
Goosebumps!! One of the best chill out songs ever!
A hypnotically haunting melody that gets stuck in your head and just won't leave - and to think, just 2 lines of lyrics make you want for more yet you're satisfied - "If you're fond of sand dunes and salty air, Quaint little villages here and there"
The vision of Margot Robbie playing tennis in slow-mo is a nice accompaniment to this song
I came from there too.
Probably my favourite "post club chill out" tune ever. Always makes everyone smile.
And Chicane!! kzhead.info/sun/qKd-fpiHenxmd4E/bejne.html
아마 내가 이 곡을 처음 들었을 때가 학교 방학 때였나 주말이었나? 아마도 대학생 때, 햇빛이 많이 내리는 따뜻한 날 낮에 일어났는데, 방문을 열고 나왔을 때 엄마는 부엌에서 요리를 하고 있었고 엄마가 틀어 놓은 라디오에서 이 노래가 나오고 있었음. 그 때 처음 듣고 Groove Armada에 완전 빠져버렸다. 그때의 그 풍경도 잊혀지지 않음. 그 라디오 프로그램이 뭐였는지는 모르겠지만 Groove Armada를 만나게 해줘서 항상 감사하고 있음.
I am 3.7 billion years old, and this is the best song I've ever heard.
0:44 Goosebums-Attack !!! Everytime I listen to this amazing trumpet solo ...

The first electric song my mum ever showed me I will never forget 🤞❤️🔥
Ultimate summer song
Reminds me of driving to green acres haven holiday park in 2008, my dad played this constantly. Would give anything to go back and re-live it.
Yo me pregunto , cómo puede haber personas que tengan tanta sensibilidad y creatividad para hacer hacer canciones tan buenas .
Sat in the garden in middle England on a warm summers evening, chilled beverage, nothing to do and this playing away in the background.
Played this to my late father when first released and less than two bars in into the track he said Nancy Sinatra old cape cod. Miss you dad
England is magic. Los Beatles en sus genes.
Stunningly beautiful 💚💚💚✊
I can’t tell you how much I love this tune…I’m seeing these in November and it’s an actual dream! If they play this I may well die.🥰🥰🥰
This song is emotional from 1998❤
Plenty of fantastic beaches where I live in Australia, but when I hear this, I always long for a place I have never been, the Hamptons. Must be Patty's American accent, the way she sings 'doons '.
i will never get tired of this song
ellen maloney never ever
Patti Page - Old Cape Cod
It's probably the greatest chillout tune ever made - never get tired of hearing / playing this out
As a Metalhead, I'm not ashamed to say I always loved this track. The arrangement is sublime. It really does chill me out. It's music like this and I Monster: Daydream in Blue that are the reason you don't need to take drugs, kids. Get your high from listening to the music. I've never taken drugs in my life. Music gives me my highs, lows and in-betweens. However, when I first heard At the River, I kept wondering "well, go on then, what if I am fond of sand dunes and salty air - what are you going to suggest ? Oh, nothing !".
Then I heard Patti Page and got my answer. Groove Armada then won my approval as one of my favourite chillin' songs.
Ahhhh, I´m getting goosebumbs absolutely everywhere, thank you for surprising an old geezer like me who swears there is nothing like the 80´ies. I´m just melting.
Goosebumps every time. Peace and tranquility, there is no song as perfect as this 😍
There isn't much more perfect in life than listening to this song while driving on the scenic road between Pensacola Beach and Navarre Beach, Florida.
If you like this song, you have dope taste in music!
This song was nostalgic when it came out. But you didn’t know what you were feeling nostalgia for.. 27 years later, the nostalgia is for the person I was when I first heard this song.
I remember 1st hearing this tune as the sun rised over the giza pyramids, perfect end too the best ever new year party 2000
That sounds sick.
That would be amazing
envy
My parents were there. Not where you were, but at the Pyramids for the Millennium.
I was there. Jean Michelle Jarre was awesome!
It’s just something about this tune that moves my soul. Takes me back to a fun, carefree time of my life.
Me too! 😎
Siento que recuerdo,una rica y nostálgica cachita! gracias GA
Thumbs up if your here from clarksons farm season 3!
Yes!!
*Snakeoil salesmen from Fallout voice* You sir. Are a Scholar and and a Gentleman🙂
Rediscovered this track which has been on my playlist for years😅
Yes, and me!
Windows open, sunshine, ocean breeze gently blowing through the house, looking forward to a family BBQ in the summer sun with drinks in hand. Thank you lord.
Over 2 years since I first heard this music and it still has the power to take me straight back to breakfast time in a beautiful dinning room in a Polish hotel. Brilliant music, happy memories!!
Discovering back this song after a few years without a listening put a BIG SMILE in my face in a bad day... :O) Merci Groove Armada !
Some songs really bring you back, one more time, to some easier days seen through a mist of rain and kaleidoscope of colours. This is one of these songs, no doubt about it.
Once you've heard this song it's hard to walk onto a beach in summer without of hearing it in your head
Can't stop crying
Did the tears dry?
@@Gravitron89 They never do
Dont worry some tears are never meant to stop. 49 years later loss and bereavement I've got over but still happy to know that certain things still turn on the waterworks. 49 years later.
@@n1ira hey I hope you're actually okay. Take some time for yourself and don't take life too seriously. All the best
Same here. Nostalgic tune when music was great and trip-hop reigned supreme.
One of the best songs.
best song for vacations
Yeah this song...this song right here takes me back into a beautiful carefree time drinks, drugs, beaches, girlfriends, feeling young and feeling like life was great! This song makes me pine in longing and kills me with nostalgia.
Drugs? Pathetic.
I feel you minds eye. Pieter, you're a peanut.
You're pathetic
drugs - don't knock em till ye tried em
Magic mushrooms are underrated. Well, I wouldn't know. I better not....I guess...
This isn't just any chill this is M&S chill
+Jose Paz marks and spencer, it's a British store
+Rowan Thomas hi
+Rowan Thomas what's old M&S doing in reference to galactic Groove Armada?
Brilliant !! haha
Alexander Punj Best use of music in advertising I've ever seen. Hearing this and seeing food = instant hunger. Genius
One of the greatest if not THE greatest chill out tune of all times.You can never get bored of this song.Reminds me of my first holiday away with the lads …Timeless classic
Jeremy Clarkson brought me here
Anybody remember the Chilled Spirit compilation CD back in 2001? I remember seeing those ads on TV back in the day, hearing the little snippit of this song, & thinking: I've GOT to get that album! Glad I did. Had some other great songs by Moby, The Orb, Robert Miles...great album.
Yes!! Moby! Another great artist to listen to in the summer. Can't wait for winter to be over
Ya i love that comp.
음 행복했던 시절들을 회상하게 만드는 향수 같은 노래여서, 계속 듣게 되는 고런
행복한 분위기의 노래는 아닌데 신기하네용
혹시 라디오를 좋아하셨나요?ㅎ 저에겐 젊고 행복했던 시절에 많이 들었던 라디오의 오프닝...
Still sounds perfect in 2023
This was my bosses morning "migrane" cure. Bless her for introducing me to Groove Armada
This is a special song so well produced the video is futuristic and fun in a way that you can feel a sense of inner longing for peace tranquility that we all have. The moog synth is f-ing amazing. What a treasure for me to find I’m addicted it’s like a drug can’t stop replaying it.
Sitting on a cliff in Bali, watching the waves swell and crash.. and from deep within the memory banks, this song came into my head
South Bali? I know It very well. I love this song to, since 1998.
Oh, how I love this music! I love it, love it, love it from the very fisrt sound I heard it back in 1998 or so. Instant love.
우와 너무너무 좋아했던 곡
One of the best songs to come out of the 90's.
Pure magic. I was lucky enough to catch this at their Beatherder headlining set a few years back - nothing comes close to that night.
Oh my what a tune....just want to curl up and listen to this all day....so soothing❤
This......this has to be one of the most bizarre, most wonderful, most enjoyable songs..........EVER!!
What IS it about this song?! Transports me to somewhere l've never been, if that makes any sense. Powerful.
Patti Page's singing doesn't hurt either.
Made all the better by the trombone, surely the campest of all the instruments.
Kinda blows the mind that they could sample some verses of the retro song _Old Cape Cod_ by Patti Page (a 1950s chart-topping singer from Oklahoma) and end up with such a beloved result. You never know. Best part for me: the deep, fat, juicy, funk-infused synth notes that jump in now and again.
I love how they are elegantly cynical about future tech, and also, I am so aware of metaverse is a thing nowadays. how advanced Groove armada was! impressive.
