Like A River Flows (with Rob Bisacre)
Comment Share
Single   $0.5
A mellow rock song about following the river of your life. Rob takes the lead vocal on this one, with yours truly taking care of the vocal harmonies. I'm rather proud of the acoustic guitar break.

Hi, I've been writing songs since I was twelve years old, and recording them since 1985. Roger Cook (of the Cook-Greenaway-Cook songwriting partnership and Blue Mink, etc) once wrote that I have the ability to write a hit single and that he was waiting for one from me. He also said I need to 'lighten up a bit', unquote. F*ck that!

Story behind the song
Rob and I have been jamming this one for about eighteen months, and most of the music was written by him; I wrote the music for the middle 8, plus the vocal melody and lyrics. Each time we do a new tune, it turns out better than the last. Long may this continue...
Lyrics
I was sitting by the sea I let the waters wash over me Carried away by the tide And as the sun went down I let myself drown In the arms of my guide My life like a river flows I should let it take me wherever it goes If I could let go of my self-control And give it to the waters of my soul Of my soul Oh yeah An island is what I am Or maybe a river dam Holding back the tide I know I have to break away And yes, I'll do it someday To reveal what I am inside My life like a river flows I should let it take me wherever it goes If I could let go of my self-control And hand it to the waters of my soul Of my soul Oh yeah Why is it the things that charm Have the power to do you harm? Why is the attractive choice Always the one to avoid? Why do I feel there's something I lack? Why am I always turning back? Why is it always easy to break But so hard to give and take? My life like a river flows I should let it take me wherever it goes If I could let go of my self-control And hand it to the waters of my soul Of my soul Oh yeah
