Strange Rivers



There are voices in the mirror and there are faces at the door and they open on the rivers we’ve never seen before. And are there choices for the sparrow, or does he only fly high above the rivers pulling you and I?

There are strange rivers, rivers that you cannot see. And there are strange rivers who know our destiny. And there are strange rivers, and we’re sailors, you and me.

And he could have been a builder. He could have been the one. To turn his dreams to steel, cathedrals in the sun. And he could have been a builder. But then he bought the gun. There are forces in that river that keep him on the run.

Did you ever turn the corner, and you wonder why you did? Cause you haven’t been that way now since you were just a kid. And nothing really happened, but then you’ve got to say, that you wonder what would’ve happened had you gone the other way?

I thought that voice sounded familiar — Linda Ronstadt on backups! Thanks for the tip.

Yeah and on probably his biggest hit Gold, Stevie Nicks!

His biggest hit of course would be Daydream Believer

Oh what can it mean to a daydream deceiver and an old closet queen?

Found a sealed cut corner on discogs for $7! Thanks!
My great mentor Stewart Marcantoni introduced me to John Stewart back in the 90's. This quickly became standard demo fare. He's one of those guys been churning out quality tunes for decades, so that when I went on Discogs it was shocking how many albums he's recorded. Punch The Big Guy is chock full of monster tunes. Trancas is almost as good. Have both those on LP. Bullets in the Hour Glass only CD sad to say. Just those 3 for now. Wouldn't mind a few more. Just really good tunes, and with meaning and message too, more often than not.
More evidence of the OPs malignant narcissism. This is an incurable condition, ask ANY therapist.

Its a song. Strange Rivers. I like the John Stewart version.
Never would’ve thought music called for a trigger warning.
