The River Runs Low

Features: Bruce Hornsby (accordion, vocals, piano, synthesizer).

In a lot of our songs there’s a search for love mixed with other strong emotions that come from events beyond control. The boyfriend or girlfriend left behind in this song has to deal with a town that’s also going through hard times.

But even though I start off focusing on things like unemployment, a drought and a cold autumn, pretty soon it’s clear that the main reason for feeling so down is pure loneliness.

I hope it’s also clear where the sweetheart has gone – where they call the brown hills “golden”.
