Riverine

from Astray by Friends from Moon

about

‘Riverine’ is like a rainbow after the storm. After a series of dark and chaotic sounds and themes, this proves to be a beautiful lullaby song. The character, like a benevolent spirit, is addressing a curious child to seek and desire beautiful things in life. His encounters with the maddening chaos has taken a huge toll and now his journey is coming to an end. The outro is a deeply melancholic, sorrowful farewell by our hero.

lyrics

Hey there coy child
Let me show you
A place unseen
It's verdant green
All wild stories
Fawns and fairies
Sylvan blooms
They welcome you

But way home a pagan he'll find you
Keep your conscience clear

Sing to wonder
Sail the waters
Bring no sorrow
The ocean's cruel

And way home the mirrors they'll guide you
Through meadows red and bleak

Find me by the storm
When the whistle blows
Where the river flows
Single life I've known

Lay down here
And listen to your heart
I'm going where
All my dreams have gone

All my dreams have gone away
Don't follow me
All my dreams are gone
All the visions lost
Live my love, so long.
