With Harmony



Walker river been awhile since I seen you 

Been gone to long with my life in a noose 

Like a dead man walking in no mans land 

With my ghosts of my past 

Walker river set me free

 

Make your fast fast rapids 

Run thru my soul 

Wash away my troubles 

You seem to know 

That your cold water will calm my mind 

Like a lover that was always kind

Walker river set me free

 

Walker river you'll last for eternity

When I walk away I'll see you in my god damn dreams

When the heart break world is on my back 

I'll be standing on your mossy banks 

Walker river set me free

  • Lots to like here. I love your vocals, and the background vocals are splendid. I love the title and the way you use it.

    The lyrics are moving and powerful.

    I am reading this as a person who is submitting their life to the river. I was thrown off by L2: Why is he walking away?

    Elvis!!! I think I commented on this song before but sure I did it on another forum!!! so I enjoyed it again!!!

    I have in my eyes a walker river named Miño in Galicia, the North of Spain.I remember the smell of its water, it smells of fish, stones and algae... Dangerous, turbulent, full of eddies but also calm and bringing laughter and games.

    Portugal is on the other shore and in those years there was already tobacco smuggling, they passed through at night... My mother bought many packs of that tobacco, she was a city woman and smoked like a man hahaha

    I imitated her smoking cigarettes... of chocolate hahaha OMG!

    The local women washed their clothes in the river, left them with soap on the fresh grass, waited for the sun to dry them and washed them again!!! I slept on those sheets as if they were magical!!! What a special smell and what a natural softness...


    Well, that's all, your song made me think of this.

  • Hi @ElvisNash


    I believe this is the first time I've heard this with the backing vocals. They're a really nice touch. What really stands out though is your great vocal that runs through the song like a... river? Strong and true.


    Nice one.
