Caught by the River
2002 single by Doves
"Caught by the River" is the third single from English rock band Doves' second studio album, The Last Broadcast (2002). The single was released on 14 October 2002 in the UK and charted at number 29 on the UK Singles Chart. The music video was directed by David Mould.
An unknown quantity of the limited CD version (HVN126CDS, with fold-out poster insert) were mispressed and excluded the enhanced video track (even though the video track is listed on the CD sleeve) and contained only the 3 audio tracks. The B-side "Willow's Song" cuts out the intro and runs for 3:58.

The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jun 8, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q3663809. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2002.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
