Oh river wide, older than time
Hold us inside, don't go dry
Dreamed, swam with you, ancient and new
Woke up and knew it was true

River's deep, the river's long and wide
No one ever reach the other side

Take off your skin, no more pretend
World without end, without end

Let that water wash away your name
In that water everyone the same
River's deep, the river's long and wide
No one ever reach the other side

Oh river wide, older than time
Hold us inside, don't go dry
Don't go dry

Well, now we know who the Silversun Pickups listened to quite a bit.

 



Silversun Pickups formed in 2000 and this song was released in 2008.

Not that it matters, but I always thought this was a guy singing.

For a second there I thought we were leading into KT Tunstall's "Golden Frames".

FunnyIn Germany there is a city called Delmenhorst. So i had to smile about her name. But this song is good.

Not really, other than that there are some minor chords in this song and in some of Death Cab's songs.  Completely different production styles.

This young lady sounds very good............
 
I listened and thought, "this guy is pretty good".  Then I read your comment and looked at the album cover, and looked at the name of Kris and said to myself, "Self, I'm pretty sure this is a guy, and maybe moon15116 is simply confused."   Then, by golly, I looked at the Wiki info and I guess I'm finally convinced that this is indeed a young lady.  Good song.   Unisex music.

Such an androgynous voice! I thought it was a guy singing. I blame SSPU for convincing me this is a male vocal range. :P

Just as I was thinking "This sounds like The other side by Breaks Co-op" he sang "the other side"

Death Cab for Cutie's song, what was it? "I will posses your heart" that's it.

To me she sounds like Brian Aubert.

Kris' magic comes out during a live show.  I was lucky to catch her at Iota Cafe in Arlington VA, playing solo.  She was captivating, charming, and humble.

Oooo - I like that description.  Dead-on.  I've heard this a few more times since my last post, so now I can confidently give it 8, with potential for a 9.

I'm hearing a lot of Jim White in this. I like it, but I really thought that it was a new JW track.

I agree with Spooky. Be sure to spin this on the 31st along with all the other good stuff.

Keep hearing more of this Civil War-ish, washboard and tambourine trend: Black Prairie, Laura Marling, Vienna Teng, Some Say Leland, Old Ceremony...

Kinda liking this one so far.  A little eerie-sounding, but in a good way.
Posted 14 years ago by Cynaera    [ Reply ]
Nice segue from the Pink Floyd song to this! 

Ok, and it's not just me — I just heard Bill slip up...  I thought this artist sounded (and looked) like a guy too.  Not that it matters.  Surprised to see she has put out 5 albums since 2001, and this is the first I have heard of her.  Thanks RP.
