Like A River – Riley Pearce

“Η παράξενη και μυστηριακή μελωδία είναι τόσο γοητευτική, που δεν μπορείς να αντισταθείς παρά μόνο να ακολουθήσεις τη ροή της και να ανακαλύψεις τον κόσμο της. Τα φανταστικά με τις υπέροχες εναλλαγές τους και την ιδιαίτερη χροιά τους μας επιβάλλονται και μας ελκύουν. Ο ρυθμός με την ανήσυχη αναστάτωση του ανεβάζει την αδρεναλίνη μας και μας αφυπνίζει.”

Lyrics of Riley Pearce – Like A River

It found me in the car
I had to pull over
Drowning on the freeway
Can we talk when it’s over

Capsized
Hands tied
Left me with nothing to hold
The Gods that play with the rope
Dancing their way down the road

Everything’s in a freefall
Take a look at it now
Oh it moves like a river
And I don’t know how
How to turn it around
(Turn it around)

Some days my head feels heavy
A barcode of faded lines
Might take me a couple tries
It’s easier just typing it in

Days when the page lays empty
It’s my neck your breathing on
Gotta keep this rolling on

I’m in the corner biting my tongue
Now this picture’s losing form
Oh it’s coming unstuck
Oh it moves like a river
And I don’t know how
How to turn it around

(Turn it around)
