Stereophonics - Dakota

The Welsh rock band Stereophonics is relatively well known in the UK. The band was formed in 1992 in Cwmaman, Wales and has since then released seven studio albums. Five of those have topped the UK Album Charts. Their first album, Word Gets Around, charted in at number six almost overnight. Over the years, the band has earned ten top-ten singles. The song “Dakota” made it to number one in 2005.

“Dakota” is different from the band’s usual sound. This eighties influenced track is meant to bring you back to carefree summer days of just “laying back, head in the grass”. It’s about remembering first love and basking in the memories of it – five minutes of pure nostalgia.
