The moment i heard this song, the words stuck with me....
If you're looking for the big adventureand gold is all that's on your mindIf all you want's someone to take your picturethen I won't waste your time.See, maybe I'm too quiet for youyou probably never noticed mebut if you're too big to follow rivershow you ever gonna find the sea?
Chorus:so follow me i'll be your river, riverI'll do the running for youfollow me i'll be your river, riveri'll move the mountains for youfollow me, i'll be your river, riveri'm here to keep you floatingfollow mei'll be your river river. River, river, yeah
If all you want are answers to your questionsAnd you can't seem to find no love for freeIf you're looking for the right directionThen darling, look for meSee, I can make the load much lighterI just need you to confide in mebut if you're too proud to follow rivershow you ever gonna find the sea?
Wherever you're standing, I will be by your sidethrough the good, through the bad, i'll never be hard to findso wherever you're standing I will be by your sidethrough the good, through the bad, i'll never be hard to find
On asked what this songs about, Emeli said:"I just sat down alone and wrote it at the piano and the lines came, I don’t know where from."Emeli went onto say that "I definatly believe in God and i believe in heaven, although i don't follow religion"
For me this songs an invitation for a new life and relationship, its a promise being spoken to her. Emeli has vocalised it, she's made something spiritual and personal, into something which is attainable for everyone.
