OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO youtu.be/Uk-D4sGYBZw
WATCH MOVIE TRAILER postcardsfromindia.com/film-trailer/

The River Song is the first single extracted by the soundtrack of the upcoming documentary "Postcards From India", a travel movie that follows Miserable Man in his musical adventures on the streets of the Subcontinent.
While shooting in the holi city of Varanasi, during an early morning boat trip on the river Ganges, this song came unexpected, almost like a gift from this ancient city.

It's a ballad inspired by the thousands of amazing people we met during the 6 weeks of shooting in this incredible country.

The full soundtrack will be out in January and the movie weil be released in February!

lyrics

I'm sitting by the river, the river of my life
Sometimes it gets me shivers, shivers down my spine.
By the river i get my old bones dry, as the river flows i'm never getting old
'cause i've got nothing, better than something
that kills me slowly everyday
this is the price i pay so i rather stay
sitting by the river.
the river of my life
sometimes it gets me Shiva, shivers down my spine
By the river i get my old bones dry
as the river flows i'm never getting old
'cause i've got nothing, better than something
that kills me slowly anyway
this is the price i pay
so i wanna stay sitting by the river
the river of my life all alone

He likes to blend pop, as a universal communicative way of making music, with Ska, Reggae and Roots. ... more
