Name: Many Rivers To Cross
Duration: P00H04M06S
Description: There's an old 70's movie called "The Harder They Come" which is, sadly, not a very good movie... but the soundtrack is a different story! This amazingly haunting song is my favorite from the soundtrack and was written and performed by Jimmy Cliff.

lyrics

Many rivers to cross
But I can't seem to find my way over
Wandering I am lost, as I travel along
The white cliffs of Dover

Many rivers to cross, and it's only my will
That keeps me alive
I've been licked, washed up for years,
and I merely survive because of my pride.

And this loneliness won't leave me alone
It's such a drag to be in on your own
My woman left me and she didn't say why
Well I guess, I’ve gotta try.

Many rivers to cross, but where to begin,
I'm playing for time
There'll be times when I find myself,
thinking of committing some,
some dreadful crime

Wandering I am lost as I travel along
The white cliffs of Dover
Many rivers to cross and it's only my will
That keeps me alive

I've got many rivers to cross
But I can't seem to find my way over

I dont even have a record player but it was all just so beautiful..now Im about to spend $300 for a turntable alone. Now....all of that said...Dolby Atmos remix when?

The programming from Walter is exciting - I would like more and longer instrumentals with some slower build up songs. This may be in extended versions....I am hoping Walter to do it the same way. Either way there is potential for their new album to be great but be different to past albums with these new exciting instrumentals. Chris' has wonderful shades of light and dark these days - mesmerising. Wow!! Liveinthemoment
