Name: High Water
Duration: P00H03M43S
Description: High Water is a dreamy boat ride down a river in a lush forest. Swooning guitars glide over layers of vocal harmonies that add a psychedelic bed under Rich Bernett’s hushed lyrics. Themes of letting go, and release from everyday life dominate the track as a steady, throbbing beat take us deeper downstream.

lyrics

High water, low expectations
It’s a soft approximation, rain clouds and ecstasy

Why don’t we just quit
And take the long way down….the long way down
And how is it that we split
From head to toe

He’s got the palm of his hand
On the back of his neck
And another on the bow of this boat, but it’s OK
This low thunder will rock us back to sleep

And why don’t we just quit
And take the long way down...the long way down
And how is it that we split
From head to toe
