Go To The River
YAEL NAIM & David Donatien Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
when you're feeling sad, go to the river
when you're feeling blue inside, immersed and tied
when you're feeling stuck in pain, forever
go go go go go tonight, you
sigh and sigh inside you long for
more, more of the life you had be-
arrive and dive let the winter snow and
glow, glow, when the wind will blow just
flow, flow, eventually you will know
go go, you should go
when you're feeling bad, go to the river
when you're feeling mad, go to the river
when you feel it blows your mind
‘cause you can’t find
when you feel you're going blind
you can’t deny
i say
go go go with the river flow you
hide hide hide, but the river gets wide don’t
row, row, with everything you
know, know, know, all you've carried inside
side side, let the water unwind don't
fight, fight, the river is right
let go, go, eventually you will grow
when you feel you'll lose your mind
they'll let you slide
when you feel you go insane
they let you die
go go, the river will know
blow blow, the river will blow
go go, the wind will sigh
blow blow, the leaves can die
go go, the seeds will grow
blow blow, the river will slow
go go, the years go by
blow blow, with the river go
go go go go in your soul you
try to fly but never get high you're
low, low, wishing for the
tide to rise, hold your feelings inside
side side side,
let the river glide and
slow, slow, the winter will go you
know know know, with everything you'll grow
whatever comes will go
go go go down the river below you
sigh sigh sigh, and the years go by and
so, so, the leaves will fall but
more more more, you wanted even more just
go go go with the river flow, you
can’t decide, ‘cause the river gets wild you
know, know, that there's no goal no
sign, sign, eventually you will find
"Go to the river" by Yael Naim and David Donatien is a song that encourages listeners to seek solace in nature when they are overwhelmed with negative emotions. The river is used as a metaphor for the flow of life, and the song suggests that instead of fighting against the natural course of life, we should allow ourselves to be carried by it. The lyrics advise listeners to go to the river when they feel ashamed, sad, or stuck in pain, and to let go of their innermost feelings, as this will help them to grow and eventually find peace. The song acknowledges that life can be tumultuous and unpredictable, but urges us to trust the process and know that whatever comes will eventually go.
The lyrics of the song are poetic and multi-layered, and they lend themselves to numerous interpretations. The river can be seen as a symbol of purification, healing, and rebirth. It also represents a journey, both physical and metaphorical, that one must undertake to overcome obstacles and reach one's destination. The song suggests that by embracing the ebb and flow of life, we can learn to accept our emotions, face our fears, and ultimately find a sense of freedom and renewal.
The emotional power of "Go to the river" is enhanced by the haunting melody and Yael Naim's ethereal vocals. The song has been praised for its simple, yet profound message, and its ability to resonate with listeners from different cultural backgrounds. The song has been used in several TV shows, films, and commercials, including the trailer for the 2018 film "The Catcher Was a Spy" and the 2019 Netflix series "Russian Doll".
