Song Information:

I heard this great story about President Theodore Roosevelt traveling up the Amazon up this river somewhat ominously named The River of Doubt. This inspired me to reflect on my own life and this song came out.

I started out with two acoustic guitar tracks and then I added all this other stuff: Shaker loops, DOD drums loops, electric piano, a bunch of Jam Pack 4 instruments, a little bit of bass guitar, and some the piece de resistance the Sonic Boombox Berimbau Zone software sounds.

Song Lyrics:

Sure as the seasons
follow one another
and as a young pup
strains in its collar
Theres always a good reason
and always one better
So I look up
if I want to know the weather
Wondering whether its gonna rain
Wondering if Ill ever see you again
How many days its been dry
Thankfully theres a tear in my eye

Here it comes
Hey its okay
I never was one
To waste my days
But Ive lately been feeling kind of vague

Things move along
but they dont really change
I never wanted it
To stay the same
Theres a better place
And a more fitting frame
And isnt the growing
The name of the game?

Here it comes
Hey its okay
I never was one
To waste my days
But lately the point is seeming more and more vague

And what should you expect when you set out
On a ill-considered journey on a river of doubt
Into a jungle with your teeth tightly clenched
And if you dont bring a poncho you wind up getting drenched
At this point I might not need
an experience so pure
Maybe should pick the river of
safe and secure
..Awno way
