RiverTake That

Released: March 24, 2017

Producer: Mike Crossey

[Verse 1]
I spent my time here just holding on
Afraid to let go, the weight's swinging in my soul
No time for shaking this heavy load
Before I take myself down, sinking like a stone

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Gotta get myself together
Gotta wash my body clean
If I try to live forever
Gonna be the death of me
'Cause a ghost is in the water
And it's haunted by the future
Gotta leave himself to nature
Gotta take me to the sea

[Chorus]
Let me be a river
Won't you carry me?
I can hear you calling me (you calling me)
Gotta trust that river gonna lead me somewhere
Be a river
Won't you carry me?
I can hear you calling me (you calling me)
Gotta trust that river gonna lead me somewhere

(Be a river
Won't you carry me?
I can hear you calling me)

[Verse 2]
I'm going down with the waterfall
Heading to places they haven't made a record for
Keep on the good side of every low
Nowhere to hide, no horizon, nowhere to go

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Sometimes I feel you with me
Sometimes I go alone
Sometimes you give your blessing
Sometimes I feel the love
That river gonna take me there
That river gonna take me there
That river gonna take me there
Yeah, I know that river gonna take me there

That river gonna take me there
That river gonna take me there
That river gonna take me there
Yeah, I know that river gonna take me there

[Chorus]
Let me be a river
Won't you carry me?
I can hear you calling me (you calling me)
Gotta trust that river gonna lead me somewhere
Be a river
Won't you carry me?
I can hear you calling me (you calling me)
Gotta trust that river gonna lead me somewhere
Be a river
Won't you carry me?
I can hear you calling me
Gotta trust that river gonna lead me somewhere
Be a river
Won't you carry me?
I can hear you calling me
Gotta trust that river gonna lead me somewhere

Take That

One of Britain’s most successful boy bands, Take That are an English pop group from Manchester, formed in 1990. The group currently consists of Gary Barlow, Howard Donald, and Mark Owen. The original line-up also featured Jason Orange and Robbie Williams.

Back in the 90s, they achieved unparalleled success, recording three albums which topped the UK Everything Changes and Nobody Else and Greatest Hits. Some of their biggest hits from then include “Back for Good”, “Pray”, “Everything Changes”, “A Million Love Songs” as well as covers of “Relight My Fire” by Dan Hartman and “It Only Takes a Minute” by Tavares.

Their popularity was unsurpassed in Britain. But tensions started growing and Robbie Williams left the band in 1995. The group disbanded the following year after the four remaining members completed their world tour.
