My cover of Loggins and Messina song. They were unusual at the time in that they had such a broad pallet of styles from folk to country to rock.
Blues R&B, funk, classic rock, and originals
Used to do bands but now prefer to write and produce my own and covers.. I occasionally do retirement gigs with a friend. 50s 60s and 70s harmony rock with acoustics.
Story behind the song
Loggins' and Messina's harmonies meshed so well that what was begun as a one-off album became an entity unto itself. Audiences regarded the pair as a genuine duo rather than as a solo act (loggins) with a well-known producer (messina). Instead of just continuing to produce Loggins as a sole performer, they decided to record as a duo

Lyrics
If you've been thinking you're all that you've got,
Then don't feel alone anymore.
When we're together, then you've got a lot,
'Cause I am the river and you are the shore.
And it goes on and on, oh, watching the river run,
Further and further from things that we've done,
Leaving them one by one.
And we have just begun watching the river run.
Listening and learning and yearning.
Run, river, run.
Winding and swirling and dancing along,
We pass by the old willow tree
Where lovers caress as we sing of our song,
Twisting together when we greet the sea.
And it goes on and on, watching the river run,
Further and further from things that we've done,
Leaving them one by one.
And we have just begun watching the river run.
Listening and learning and yearning.
Run, river, run.
And it goes on and on, watching the river run,
Further and further from things that we've done,
Leaving them one by one.
And we have just begun watching the river run.
Listening and learning and yearning.
Run, river, run.
