"The Dolphin's Cry" is a song by American alternative rock band Live, released on August 24, 1999, as the lead single from their fourth studio album, The Distance to Here.

The song was co-produced by Jerry Harrison of Talking Heads, and features Adam Duritz of Counting Crows on backing vocals.

[9] The music video, directed by Martin Weisz,[10] features the band playing in an alley as successively larger waves of water flow towards them.

Towards the end of the song, the largest wave sweeps through the alley and knocks the band down, but they get back up and resume playing.
