Cloud Control singles chronology

"There's Nothing in the Water We Can't Fight" is a song by Australian band Cloud Control. It was released in July 2010 as the fourth single from their debut studio album, Bliss Release.

Band member Alister Wright told Double J the song was written after a trip to India, saying, "I was in a hotel room looking out over this alleyway and there was like a funeral procession. They're all just walking down the street, banging their chests and screaming out. It was such a passionate kind of celebration of someone. I just thought it was really cool. And the lyrics aren't really literal. Like, I'm not describing something, but I just tried to put that kind of feeling into the performance."^[2]

The song was voted 18 in the Triple J Hottest 100, 2010.^[3]

Critical reception

In a BBC album review, Iain Moffatt said the song "is both impelling and intriguing."^[4]
