All that I have is a river The river is always my home Lord, take me away, for I just cannot stay Or I'll sink in my skin and my bones The water sustains me without even trying The water can't drown me, I'm done With my dying... Please help me build a small boat One that'll ride on the flow Where the river runs deep and the larger fish creep I'm glad of what keeps me afloat The water sustains me without even trying The water can't drown me, I'm done With my dying... Now deeper the water I sail And faster the current I'm in That each night brings the stars and the song in my heart Is a tune for the journeyman's tale The water sustains me without even trying The water can't drown me, I'm done With my dying... Now the land that I knew is a dream And the line on the distance grows faint So wide is my river, the horizon a sliver The artist has run out of paint Where the blue of the sea meets the sky And the big yellow sun leads me home I'm everywhere now; the way is a vow To the wind of each breath by and by The water sustains me without even trying The water can't drown me, I'm done With my dying...
we float in water before being born..then, a barrier that couldn't be crossed for most people throughout history ( longing ), a picture for salvation, sins or stains are washed away.. Comfort in trying times ( down to the river by Bruce Springsteen ) , source of life etc. Ain't that universal?
Пожелаю семье, жить в мире и уважении к друг другу. Пусть Божья любовь им даст воспитать детей в единстве. Люблю семейные пары, когда они вместе навсегда!
i agree , this man is super talented and i love his music but this vido has no foundation or direction , i just listen to the track in the background and not watch the video :)
Couldn't agree more. In fact, it was quite an unpleasant and uncomfortable mismatch. I kept watching because I was waiting for something to cleverly and profoundly illustrate how the full juxtaposition of what I was seeing with what I was hearing got resolved. But it never happened. I'm sorry I watched it. Sadly, I will have to wait a while before listening to the song again, and hope that there's been enough distance between how deeply and strongly I feel about the song and the irritation I feel toward the video to be able to enjoy it again. I'm sorta ticked off, actually.

One of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard.
Im gonna ask my family to play this song at my funeral. For real.
Well there’s been enough times it’s been played at weddings SO gud for you..mayb have your ashes scattered on the water somewhere
This is a gem
Absolutely beautiful
Pure poetry
I'd only ever heard the concept - it sounds great produced!
This song is a masterpiece.
Bänkelsänger, little Instruments, simple melody, ever refraining, No real end. Love it.
Such beautiful harmonies. I love it so much.
All that I have is a river
The river is always my home
Lord, take me away, for I just cannot stay
Or I'll sink in my skin and my bones
The water sustains me without even trying
The water can't drown me, I'm done
With my dying...
Please help me build a small boat
One that'll ride on the flow
Where the river runs deep and the larger fish creep
I'm glad of what keeps me afloat
The water sustains me without even trying
The water can't drown me, I'm done
With my dying...
Now deeper the water I sail
And faster the current I'm in
That each night brings the stars and the song in my heart
Is a tune for the journeyman's tale
The water sustains me without even trying
The water can't drown me, I'm done
With my dying...
Now the land that I knew is a dream
And the line on the distance grows faint
So wide is my river, the horizon a sliver
The artist has run out of paint
Where the blue of the sea meets the sky
And the big yellow sun leads me home
I'm everywhere now; the way is a vow
To the wind of each breath by and by
The water sustains me without even trying
The water can't drown me, I'm done
With my dying...
Music, perfected.
simply beautiful
Oh, another video shoot in Argentina!
What's the connection with my country?
I just found the wonderful Johnny Flynn.
Yes I wandered the same, I would like he could visit Buenos Aires again
Such a great song deserves a better video !
Delightful ! the guy is quality, music for the discerning, and the inteligent genre
Un bijou cette petite chanson !!!
Bella canciòn para el final de una hermosa pelìcula :Un amour de jeunese
Saw him do this live was blown away, another acoustic version on my channel x
Shantyman
-where? So lucky!! I bet he’s fantastic live!
Johnny writes & sings so much about water. Mystery??

He's a Pisces...

Dulce Johnny!
Johnny Flynn &, Robert Macfarlane
I love this song but I don't think the video is right for it. This song is even better live.
i agree , this man is super talented and i love his music but this vido has no foundation or direction , i just listen to the track in the background and not watch the video :)

Agree. The Lewes Stopover version is good.
His WIFE? she's so lucky and he's lucky too for havenig her by his side.
Nope, it's not her in the video + it's Laura Marling singing with him.
point well made :)
such a beautiful song. video though.. that's a sea not a river lol!
I love you Laura marling
So beautiful. Is this Johnny's sister, Lille, singing with him? @transgressive
Laura Marling.
no it's Laura Marling
Great song vid would have been better round Surrey Hampshire coasts in my opinion
Too may heroin addicts and cod hustlers in those areas these days....
you need a guitar and a cello. easily accessible.
This video is revolting! And I don't know WHAT they did to the sound mixing here. GO SEE THE JOHNNY FLYNN AND LAURA MARLING singing this.
@Jiwan89 give me all the equipment they had and i will ;)
I don't get it...
Johnny Flynn and Laura Marling?
"official video"
Yes.
@naracastro yeah iv seen that one, i agree much better!
oh i thought it looked like her. oh wells
that's his wife, dude
That is not his wife.
