Lyrics

Dance on the River
2024

(verse1)
B7 E
on an ordinary day
B7 E
you see the end and call it weather

(Bridge)
Gm Em
why does every person lie - it's complicated.
Gm G#
supernova in the sky and where are you?
Gm Em
you will miss the show - overrated.
Gm G#
we are be born and we will burn in nuclear fire
A#5
because that's what we are

(Chorus)
Gm D#
raise your glass to this tune
A# F
and dance on the river - slowly - drifting with the flow
Gm D#
loose yourself from the crowd
A# A
then let us wither - but not tonight

(verse2+3)
this will never be ok
there's no such thing as ordinary
you tear a hole into the sky
but there's always one more why

(Bridge)
why does every person lie - it's complicated.
supernova in the sky and where are you?
you will miss the show - it's overrated.
we are be born and we will burn in nuclear fire
because that's what we are
because that's what we are

(Chorus)
raise your glass to this tune
and dance on the river - slowly - drifting with the flow
loose yourself from the crowd
then let us wither - but not tonight
hold on tight
like you're holding the world
and you keep that thing forever
let's pretend
that we're holding the world
and we keep that thing forever

(Outro)
where you walk you cast no shadow
more so when the lights are low
all this time
in shadows we are one

Thanks @kahlo2013 for your nice feedback. I have a lot of fun making these songs. I noticed that whenever I put together the drum patterns myself, it gives the song a more unique drive. This was one them, but quite often I am too lazy to do that.
I try to build up something in my songs, but I believe Most listeners never get that far to hear it 😃 I am happy you did and enjoyed it.

This has such a great groove! I love the drums and buzzy guitars as the backdrop for your fabulous vocals. The lyrics are fantastic. Love that bridge! Cool chorus. Love where the synths play the chorus melody and veer beyond that give the sense of space.

Good title and cool chorus. Keep rocking.

That chorus sounds awesome - love the melody to it. Well sung, too.
There's a throwback feeling to this whole track, 90s/early 00s; sounds like the stuff that I listened to when I first started exploring music outside of my usual genres.
Great guitar throughout. That ending groove - that is quite cool.
