By the River
Klingande Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
On the banks of the river drinking too much wine
Uh huh yeah
Oh yeah
Sat by the water smoking cigarettes
Told me those words I can't forget
Oh yeah
Uh huh yeah
Those were the days
It couldn't get much better
I feel the same
You feel the same
I told you
I'll be waiting for you
So meet me by the river
Where it all began
Let's go back to the place where our love burned brighter than the sun
Oh yea
Meet me by the river
Where it all began
Let's go back to the place where our love burned brighter than the sun
Oh yea
By the river
Meet me by the river
By the river
Oh yea
Oh I see you passing that sweet 'ol moon
You thinkin' of me
'Cause I'm thinkin' of you
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
I've been thinking those eyes of the deepest green
I don't know my mind
But I know what I see
Oh yeah
And we were together
Those were the days
It couldn't get much better
I do believe
I do believe
Five toes in
I'll be waiting for you
So meet me by the river
Where it all began
Let's go back to the place where our love burned brighter than the sun
Oh yea
Meet me by the river
Where it all began
Let's go back to the place where our love burned brighter than the sun
Oh yea
By the river
Meet me by the river
By the river
Oh yea
Meet me by the river
Where it all began
Let's go back to the place where our love burned brighter than the sun
Oh yea
The song "By the River" by Klingande is a nostalgic ode to a past love. The opening lines describe the joyous memories that the singer had with their lover near a riverbank while drinking wine, smoking cigarettes, and sharing words that they could not forget. The refrain expresses the longing to go back to that place where their love burned brighter than the sun. The singer recalls their lover passing by the moon and feeling the same yearning that they do. The song ends with a plea to meet again by the river and relive those brighter days.
The song captures the feelings of longing and nostalgia that anyone who has been in a past relationship can relate to. The lyrics describe the power of shared memories, which can hold more power than the present. The imagery of the river and the sun evoke a sense of warmth and happiness that the singer wants to return to.
The chorus is simple yet powerful, using repetition to emphasize the importance of returning to that special place. The use of guitar, percussion, and saxophone creates a warm, happy atmosphere. The saxophone solo is especially emotive and brings an added layer of nostalgia to the song.
