I write alternate lyrics for songs I like... River's Eternal Mission Driving dark and empty roads Striving under heavy loads Where do all the spilled tears go? Some survive while others thrive With fortunes or a nine-to-five Where do all the filled hours go? Me, I live by fields in bloom Gentle rains fall every noon Where I have dew others have monsoon These rocky roads run riverside In the water life resides Wherein I will deeply dive soon Rivers take the easy way The delta fills the sheltered bay Where does the flowing stream end? Rivers flow into the sea To saltwater and serenity Where single thread and masterpiece blend These rocky roads run riverside In the water life abides Wherein I will deeply dive soon Something guides the river home It wanders but not on its own Where graceful bends fill peacefully lagoons Wade in here, fulfill the urge To let go and just submerge Where will the river take you next? Past the bay, lagoon, and reef The ocean is a vast relief Where arid land and water intersects At ocean's edge, a mind may think It's too much for one heart to drink Where can you find more hopefulness? I had to float to make it here The river drowned my every fear Where do I show my thankfulness? Dive in here, receive it all The ocean's great though I am small All of this is coming one day JDM17APR2020
Have you ever thought of becoming a lyricist? You should start by writing for a band local to you. Ask them if they have tunes, and offer your lyrics. So many bands (even bands who have made it very big!) have awful lyrics.
Happy birthday Mike...m. Best of all things. Near and far...thank you for the music...time soars...linearlly i guess...ur wake song...perhaps mine 2 . Hopefully miles away in time flight... If the Lord Should tarry...peace...
Lady Blue great song thanks for putting it on your channel... I like R.E.M. but their songs can be very melancholy, they sing of life’s disappointments and overdoses... the struggles and stumbling blocks, the world is derelict with no philanthropy and fellow feeling to help the world to survive. We need each other but very few care... REM sing of this condition, we are all in the same life boat.. Mind how you go. R. x
Thank you, Jenn Blue. A line possibly mentioned in Mackenzie Crook's Detectorists series. Series 1 Ep2. "Bergamot and vetiver" as candle scent option for a character.
This is so incredibly beautiful! I have adored this song since it was released back in the day! Haunting background vocals and amazing harmonies. I could listen to this song daily forever! Bless you, REM, for bringing this beauty into all our lives!!!!!!!!!
My favourite song EVER!!.
I write alternate lyrics for songs I like...
River's Eternal Mission
Driving dark and empty roads
Striving under heavy loads
Where do all the spilled tears go?
Some survive while others thrive
With fortunes or a nine-to-five
Where do all the filled hours go?
Me, I live by fields in bloom
Gentle rains fall every noon
Where I have dew others have monsoon
These rocky roads run riverside
In the water life resides
Wherein I will deeply dive soon
Rivers take the easy way
The delta fills the sheltered bay
Where does the flowing stream end?
Rivers flow into the sea
To saltwater and serenity
Where single thread and masterpiece blend
These rocky roads run riverside
In the water life abides
Wherein I will deeply dive soon
Something guides the river home
It wanders but not on its own
Where graceful bends fill peacefully lagoons
Wade in here, fulfill the urge
To let go and just submerge
Where will the river take you next?
Past the bay, lagoon, and reef
The ocean is a vast relief
Where arid land and water intersects
At ocean's edge, a mind may think
It's too much for one heart to drink
Where can you find more hopefulness?
I had to float to make it here
The river drowned my every fear
Where do I show my thankfulness?
Dive in here, receive it all
The ocean's great though I am small
All of this is coming one day

1992 😔
This one makes me tear up.
This always had a late 1970s Genesis feel about it, to me.
Waiting on a line of greens and blues...
Beautiful!
Thank you Jenn Blue
