Amen Dunes - Miki Dora (Official Music Video) 

3 years later, this song is still like a religious experience. The single of 2018.

This man singlehandedly saved my life.

This guy is stupidly underrated. What a great songwriter.

"They come out of nowhere, instantaneously materialize and just as quickly they break and vanish. Chasing after such fleeting mirages is a complete waste of time. That is what I choose to do with my life." ~ Miki Dora

Aging like a fine wine... Incredible music

This dude is the most original thing I have heard in years. Amazing. Everything about this is shimmering and sad.

Come on, this song... it is absolute beauty... youth is gone, we all are just memories.

Thank you. This song has been helping lately. Haven’t seen my daughter in over a year. I have been fighting a custody battle. I cry everyday. This song has brought out the better cries. Thank you so much.

Cant stop listening to this....its climbed inside me. So good.....

Miki Dora was arguably the most gifted and innovative surfer of his generation and the foremost opponent of surfing’s commercialization. He was also a lifelong criminal and retrograde: a true embodiment of the distorted male psyche. He was a living contradiction; both a symbol of free-living and inspiration, and of the false heroics American culture has always celebrated. With lyrics of regret and redemption at the end of one’s youth, the song is about Dora, and myself, but ultimately it is a reflection on all manifestations of mythical heroic maleness and its illusions. - Amen Dunes, Instagram

I was stunned by this man’s voice and the multitude of emotions it conveys from the minute I stumbled upon this tune. Pure talent.

Wow, his attitude, the song, everything - he's stronger than ever!

I found him a few days ago. Blue Rose was my first experience. Then onto the rest,promptly downloaded all of it. Blown away! Can NOT stop listening. LOVE him. Resonates with every fiber of my being. I think I'm in love. 😊

oooo this is probably gonna be my most played album this summer. Loved his last two records.

the most repeated 2018 song in my playlist so far. magic coming out of simple lyrics.

the subtle nod to the beach boys' sound in the harmony of the last chorus is gold

Pieces of Her played this song and introduced me to this awesome songwriter! Can’t wait to dive into his other works!

The fluctuations in his voice add a lot. This is A+ work!

here in 2024 and this song has become my favorite. such a unique sound and voice

Just came here to say this is the my SONG OF THE DECADE.

I heart music. Always a new wormhole to go down.

just found this dude today now im listening to all his albums this is so good

Getting on fine Catch the next wave Get the mood right Darken the way Coasting all day Coasting all day The way you're going We know what you'll say The waves are gone The waves are gone The waves are gone Said man I'll go Pride destroyed me man Til it took ahold of me And I feel it when I cry I can feel it in my dreams Miki Dora Taking your time Waves are gone Waves are gone 1963 We were up on North Beach And you're copping all my tricks, man But you don't do it like me Sitting on the pier Sipping on my beer I come upon a vision When Mary comes to me Silver golden waves And chills that keep me clear You all recall my name But don't mean a thing to me Miki it's all fine Catch the next wave Miki Dora Darken the waves The waves they are gone The waves they all gone The waves are gone The waves are gone Pride destroyed me man And I didn't know the deal Said I'm gonna cry Scaring the devil in me Shouldn't have gone Shouldn't have gone But didn't I discover the difference It didn't come to me Give nothing, take Slid along the wave Could not suffer existence It wasn't meant to be Getting on fine Rolling on me Still enough time To roll around with me Roll around with me Roll around with me Roll around with me Roll around with me Roll around with me Roll around with me Roll around with me

Here after pieces of her on Netflix!

in case anyone was wondering, he's running on 8th av

reading all for a few perfect waves at the moment. And I LOVE this track so much - Amen Brother.

This will be one of the most hidden gems of the 10s. Long after there are best of decade compilations shown in media, this will be under the radar which makes me sad but hey! At least I found it 😊

so good it keeps popping up in my brain. It was one of my 'Tracks of the Year' on WPKN Radio the year it came out.

working backward from Blue Rose to find this other gem. singer gets a lot of deserved credit, but i love these grooves the bass player is laying down. props to this band as a whole for providing some top notch work.

New favorite song 1/22/2021 🤙🏾

I've been closing DJ sets with this gem of a jam... Loop the end to.. "roll around with me". Thanks Damon. Shit is hot!

haven't heard an album this good for a long time. can't stop listening for months now. I remember the same mood in summer 2011 when I discovered destroyer with genius Kaputt. but that time i found love and this summer i lost and with the help of this album i returned my loved one.

❤️ This! Only discovered him now.....Amazing!

Wow...just wow....I'm so very delighted with this artist ....my new favorite ! Thanks Amen Dunes you RAWK and I'm loving it !!!!! 🎶✝🎶

love love love love love love it

God damn this is good

possibly the best song I've ever heard..

I'm going to go skiing to this

Still underrated, amen dunes deserves all the attention

This is such a good TUNE

Good job, Amen Dunes!

Es perfecto, lo mejor que le pasó a mis oídos el verano pasado

Mind blowing song and video!!!!!! Hot hot hot

This video is criminally under viewed

love amen dunes

After 45 seconds, i was concerned they were just going to have that boy running non stop for 5 mins and that would be the video ^_^

Recently discovered this song via playlist PJ Harvey put on Spotify, seriously addicted.

God damn, I think this band is my new addiction.

Song of the decade.

This song makes me feel feelings I don't understand.

Who else here after Pieces of Her??

I live in North Hollywood. I've walked along, and into, the waves of North Beach, Monterrey, Malibu, Santa Monica, Zuma, Matador. As a Californian, I was definitely aware of Miki Dora and his legacy. This song is Diamond Sharp *B*R*I*L*L*I*A*N*T*. I'm so looking forward to seeing Amen Dunes in concert, at the Teragram Ballroom in Downtown Los Angeles!

hess back!

PERFECTION

Cant get this song outta my head

WOW, THIS IS GREAT!!!

I love you so much, man

Esta es una de mis canciones favoritas de este año

This is rad! Finally a new record on the way!

Wow! I need to see him this weekend!

Miki dora. The last outlaw

How come this is the greatest song ever?

instant love. I'm enjoying every second

Is no one going to ask where he is running to or away from? And what's he staring at like that in the end? I've been a fan since his last album Love, and I've loved all of his work since.

Yes!!!

Love love it

"Indo bem Pegue a próxima onda Faça o movimento certo Leve a onda No litoral o dia todo No litoral o dia todo Do jeito que você está indo Nós sabemos o que você vai dizer As ondas acabaram As ondas acabaram As ondas acabaram, você disse Cara, todas ondas acabaram O orgulho me destruiu, cara Até que ele tomou controle de mim E eu sinto isso quando choro Eu posso sentir isso nos meus sonhos Miki Dora Aproveitando seu tempo As ondas acabaram As ondas acabaram 1963 Estávamos em North Beach E você está copiando todos os meus truques, cara Mas você não faz como eu Sentado no píer Bebendo minha cerveja Eu tenho uma visão Quando Maria surge pra mim Ondas douradas prateadas E calafrios que me mantêm atento Vocês todos lembram do meu nome Mas não significam nada para mim Miki tão bem Pegue a próxima onda Miki Dora Leve a onda As ondas acabaram As ondas acabaram As ondas acabaram As ondas acabaram O orgulho me destruiu, cara E eu não sabia do acordo Eu disse: "Estou triste, vou chorar" Assustar os demonios em mim Eu não deveria ter ido Nós não deveríamos ter ido Mas eu não descobri a diferença Não estava claro pra mim Dar sem nada para tirar Deslizando ao longo das ondas Ele não podia sofrer a existência Não era para ser Indo bem Rolando em mim Ainda há tempo suficiente Para seguir comigo Seguir comigo Seguir comigo Seguir comigo Seguir comigo Seguir comigo Seguir comigo Seguir comigo"

Oh I am into it 😎

Dora Lives!

Long live D’Cat!!!!

I'm a fan

This is definitely a Buzzclip

I hope this song plays at the end of the world as proof it wasn't all for nothing!

Class...

Sounds like vintage early 80s rem To me ! Channeling Michael Stipe

Hammer

That is Great!!!

It would be so fun to make a music video

Bravo!

Thanks to pieces of her! A female version of Amen is Annie Hamilton, check her out 👍🇦🇺😎

I wrongly criticized Damon's singing. So I deleted my stupid comment. The guy is amazing, and this song is so great... I have become a fan!
