about

This is the opening track of the album. 'Love is wise, hate is foolish.' [Isiaih Berlin]. Speak out.

lyrics

When will we know, where to begin?
People you know - you start with yourself.
You're not acting like you love yourself,
you're not acting like you love yourself.

Soon we will know, where to begin,
which way to turn, from the places we've been.

We've been fighting for years,
trying to save it,
fighting for years - now you know there's progress.
Brothers, sisters, you know we're growing closer,
love is powering the people, soon it will be over.

Now that we know, where to begin,
loving is easy, hate is a sin.
Rulers they know, where to begin,
so why are they violent - let the love in.

We've been fighting for years,
trying to save it,
fighting for years - now you know there's progress.
Brothers, sisters, you know we're growing closer,
love is powering the people, soon it will be over.
You're not acting like you love yourself,
you're not acting like you love yourself.

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
