about

By The River is inspired by our collective love for late-60s East-meets-West music (Beatles in Rishikesh vibes). The track has a distinctly Eastern flavour, featuring a drone based melody, shimmering guitars, rich textured harmonies and hypnotic drums, encouraging the listener to take a dreamlike journey into an ethereal world. We record all our material from a home setup in the Midlands and are promoting the single by gigging throughout the UK this autumn as well as undertaking a mini tour of Southern France in December 2023. By The River is a song about eternal love. The lyrics focus on juxtaposing truths, nature and the transition between life and afterlife. The track features Lucian Thomas of Manchester-psych band Farfisa on sitar.

lyrics

We were walking, by the river
In the morning, maybe afternoon
We were talking, now or never
In the evening, gonna be dark soon.

Through the shadows, our reflection
Gently moving, in the pool below
The smooth pebbles, tell a story
It’s one we already know.

Watch the water, see it flowing
No beginning and there’s no end
If you love me, as I love you
Take my hand and walk with me again.
