about

The Universe. Consciousness. Positivity. The night sky.

lyrics

As you fall through your life, trying to spot the danger -
it’s like walking alone at night, with your eyes wide open
you try to hide from things that hunt the best at night.

You get caught, tho you are sometimes at fault
and on any given night, billions of stars surround
the place where you’re often found – tho fear I fear still guides you.

Won’t you live your life, only fear you should fear.
Don’t you hold back – it’s later than you think.
Sometimes, it feels like you’re jumping off a cliff.
Don’t be scared, you be brave.

Getting hold of now, won’t you take some time to find out how?
I will not stay to fight with you – tho it seems you really want me to -
you project, what you have not solved yet.

Have you seen – the billion stars above;
the infinite dance of love.
Maybe you can feel it,
maybe when young you were short of it,
maybe it’s just you conceal it?

Won’t you live your life, only fear you should fear.
Don’t you hold back – it’s later than you think.

Rivers Of England Bath, UK

Original yet familiar sounding with occasional echoes of John Martyn and even Nick Drake, Rivers Of England’s lush string and Hammond/Rhodes based sound delivers foot-tapping ear candy aplenty with a spine-tingling powerful vocal on top. The surprises keep coming, not least, supporting The Fall, amusing hospital visits on tour and a regular soundtrack for operating theatre. ... more
