about

Rode Village. Love. Nature in Spring. The benefit to the world of personal harmony.

lyrics

The sun shines and the meadow sways,
five months in – the perfect day.
You lie there, in your cotton summer dress.
The river flows and I’m inspired to confess.

If I could bottle, if I could bottle up the day,
I would open it up,
when it’s raining
and I’m complaining.

It’s funny how you’re mind can track the seasons through the year;
It’s funny how the land can spark a smile or run a tear;
It’s funny how I’m happy with you lying by me here -
I will do my best to please you and so erode my fear.

Now our love’s made us strong,
we must seek to pass it on.
Silence will not right the wrongs.
Won’t you stand up? Won’t you fight on?

The sun shines and the meadows sways;
positivity is flowing through our veins.
You lie there in your cotton summer dress;
the river flows and I will try to do my best.

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
