about

DOWN TO THE RIVER feat ED ROME is a folk, contemporary pop blend. The song came together from the initial Sat by the River line and pretty much everything flowed quickly. The song is lyrically dark but the music is light, happy with brooding backing vocals. I try to capture the water, the sky, the visual story to the listeners head. The harmonies on this song are adding an atmosphere. Just guitar, vocals and tapping the beat.

lyrics

DOWN TO THE RIVER

Sat by the river
The sun touched our skin
I knew that he loved me
A voice from within
I had to tell him the passion was gone
The breeze it went by us
The leaves spun along

Our love was kind and warm
Once I was your beautiful girl
Now its gone to grey to black and back
Love turns to black and blue

Something to tell you
He looks and he knows
I dont feel the same from my head to my toes
Is there another?
What did I do?
And all I can say
Its me and not you

Our love was kind and warm
Once I was your beautiful girl
Now its gone to grey to black and back
Love turns to black and blue

He leans over me
His anger is clear
How can I end it
Our loves been for years
Want to stop him
His hands on my skin
Trying to Speak

No time to say
Hes stronger than I
His hands on my neck
I cant breathe and I
I cant breathe and I
I cant breath can I?

Our love
Once I was your beautiful girl
Now its gone to grey to black and back
Love turns to black and blue
