Show Me The River

from Some Hearts Are Abandoned by Tidehouse

about

A song built around a suicide note written for a character in an unpublished book I wrote many years ago. The book was awful but the note stuck with me.

The first line of that note 'Make me your horizon' served as the inspiration for the song. I submitted it to my band Tribe Of Names but there wasn't enough time to record it before out debut album was to be submitted to our record company so I reworked it in a more Gospel meets Brian Eno kind of style.

lyrics

Make me your horizon
Travel down my road
Walk with me and remember
Family, look for me

Show me the river
Sow me the seed
A violent forgiver
And all we do is bleed

Tired and encumbered
Wounded by the way
Say it, like you mean it
Family, forget me

Show me the river
Sow me the seed
A violent forgiver
And all we do is bleed
