River's Radio 7/6/2022: Romanticizing The Mississippi River
I have and always will be a river child. The water swirls around you wade into it, the air that smells like history, rotting and brown, swirling around you with death and life, all mixed together in a soup that smells like mud and fish.
I've never been the type of girl who runs from dirty things, and maybe that's why the river has always called to me.
I love everything about it, from the ugly to the beautiful, from spider webs to poison ivy to the flies to the deer to the way the water rushes around rocks and how it grows beyond its banks every year like clockwork.
So, here are my songs to romanticize living along a river, full of life and history.
Bottom Of The River, by Delta Rae.
youtube
From the very beginning, you can hear the bugs humming in the background. That's how you know it's an absolute bop. It's dramatic, acoustic, mostly acapella, and it's absolutely amazing. I love this song so much. It's got the vibe you just want to sing to. It's dark, brooding, full of noise and excitement, and it makes you want to run somewhere at night, get to somewhere where you can see the sky and the trees, and breathe mosquito-scented, humidity-thick air, watch moths flutter about the beam of your flashlight, and run until you can't think anymore. If you're moving, nothing is as dangerous as it is while you are still.
Carolina, by Taylor Swift.
youtube
This is a brand new Taylor Swift song that upon listening to once I completely fell in love with and dream of living somewhere better than where I am to. It's from that new movie, Where The Crawdads Sing, and while I haven't seen the movie, I want to, just because of this song. It is so poetical, so well written, and the flow of the song drags you deep into water you've never been into and makes you feel nostalgic for a place you've been. Somewhere muddy, rainy, green and gray, all at once, where the river meets the ocean, and the trees are hung with the thick kind of moss that hangs in strange clumps.
River Lullaby, cover by JADA.
youtube
This song. HHHH. If you've ever watched Prince of Egypt, you'll know this song, at least vaguely, like a dream you once had. But this cover is absolutely amazing. This woman knows exactly what she's doing, and it shows. The echo effect of the actual building makes the halls of your heart echo with the noise, and it's a definite goosebump raiser. The best kind of song is the kind that is so beautiful that you kind of just close your eyes and listen to, with every piece of your being. This is that kind of song.
Along For The Ride, by The Okey Dokey Brothers.
youtube
Vibe check. Indie bluegrass-sorta-sounding bands singing about childhood romance and what friendship is? Yes. Definitely. If you've read Peter Pan, The Odyssey, or Tom Sawyer, you'll love the references to each romance in this song. It's really wholesome, and even though it's technically written for kids, it's such a fun, simple, sweetheart sound to it that you'll really like it. I promise. Besides, I need someone to write a fluffy found family fanfic with this for the title someday. Why not you?

Thursday April 13th.
ffs neil will you stop banging out those damn tunes. it's the morning, for pete's sake
We won't ask you again, Neil—we have work first thing tomorrow and it is a big day at the office: we are presenting a keynote pointpower slideshow for the big cheese over at HQ to increase optimum brand synergy across all departments ahead of this upcoming 5th annual quarter in review, and we are getting pretty sick and tired you and that f*cking keyboard playing Clair de Lune (badly) on what you have apparently decided to be your very own live IRL ten-hour loop from early evening through the night until the break of day, because you are a rat, and rats are, of course, nocturnal!! 
*
It all began on April 13th, 2006. Neil's alarm went off at around 7:30pm, just as the human world was winding down for the day. He sat on the edge of his bed, yawned, stttrrreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeetcchhed, cracked his fingers, and got to work. He tucked his tail beneath him and took his place at his grand, multi-colored piano, and began to play. And my goodness did he play. As if possessed by the spirits of the maestros of old, Neil's claws flowed up and down the keys in a manner not dissimilar to the ebb and flow of the oceans themselves. No one could believe their ears on that day, almost 20 years ago: after so much early promise, so much self-destruction, torment, and pain, Neil finally accomplished what so many knew he could do if only he could find it in himself to achieve it: he began banging out the tunes.
Only this was something of a pandora's box. It is, as we saw, nearly 20 years later—and Neil continues to bang them out with a vengeance, regardless of whether we have to be up early for work in the morning.  
*
It is April 13th, 2009. Neil continues to play, enraptured by the majesty of the melody expressed by the delicate touch of claw on key in primary-colored plastic. As Neil reaches the end of the day's performance, a young man stands in his bedroom. It just so happens that this is the young man's birthday. Though it was thirteen years ago he was given life, it is, inexplicably, only today he will be given a name.
His name is John. As was previously mentioned it is his BIRTHDAY. A number of CAKES are scattered about his room. He has a variety of INTERESTS. He has a passion for REALLY TERRIBLE MOVIES. He likes to program computers but he is NOT VERY GOOD AT IT. He has a fondness for PARANORMAL LORE, and is an aspiring AMATEUR MAGICIAN. He also likes to play GAMES sometimes. 
As day dawns, Neil closes the fallboard upon the keys of his instrument for another year. John goes to retrieve his arms. And the rest, as they say, is history.
*
It's April 13th, folks. You know what that means: it's time for #homestuck and #neil banging out the tunes.
