The River Flows In A New Direction
Lyrics
Maybe I am an animal Living among the wrong species Maybe I’m too emotional That’s why I hide myself from TV And sometimes I don’t have much to say Cause I have my own way That I like to communicate And sometimes I go down to the river Just to let out a sigh And it makes me cry
And the river flows in a new direction The river flows in a new direction And it floods my eyes Every time I speak my mind And the river flows in a new direction The river flows in a new direction And it floods my eyes Every time I speak my mind
I know I ain’t strong sometimes I can’t fight off a pack of wolves But I can howl in the moonlight And I’ll be there when I said I would And maybe I am recluse Cause I like being alone When I let loose And maybe I just go with the flow Like the river does And that’s just because
The river flows in a new direction The river flows in a new direction And it floods my eyes Everytime I speak my mind And the river flows in a new direction The river flows in a new direction And it floods my eyes Everytime I speak my mind
Let me speak my mind Can you give me a second here?
I can feel all the emotions I can feel them rushing through my veins I can feel that kind of motion I know you feel just the same
The river flows in a new direction The river flows in a new direction And it floods my eyes Everytime I speak my mind And the river flows in a new direction The river flows in a new direction And it floods my eyes Everytime I speak my mind

Solid blues with such a great hook. I don't anyone could forget it after hearing it. I certainly won't. I'd really look forward to hearing this on the air waves. This song works perfectly as a solo piece, but I'd also love hearing it as choral arrangement.
wow I love your voice, that vibrato is so beautiful!! this is a fantastic song!!
YES! I love the confidence in your voice. It’s incredible to hear on this years recording. Love hearing you own your power, home girl!!! Crushing it 🩷
Your song makes me imagine someone whose bloodstream is so connected to their emotions, that it reverses when they get upset and "speak their mind." Not sure your intention, but the wrong species line makes me think this person is different more than just emotionally.
You've evoked some primal feelings, with the imagery of howling at the moon and being among the wrong species. I like your jazzy vocal here too, some 20s speakeasy club vibes. Cool!
Fabulous, fabulous vocal delivery! (Are you already famous and I just missed your tour?) Love the hook and how you developed it. Wonderful jazzy/bluesy music. So glad I found this!
