“I remember writing a song when I was about 15. This is the one I can remember. I know I'd been writing poetry for a long time, since I was about eight, but I remember my first one that I put to chords. I was really trying to be like the psychedelic era Beatles, I was obsessed. All I could think about was Beatles and Hendrix. So I tried to write a psychedelic song, and it was the worst. I couldn't even... If I read it now - I still have the book somewhere - it makes me cringe out loud. It was just about psychedelic stuff.” IfsThinkingKnowsWritingTryingFirstsLongStillsI CanBookRememberSongStuffWorstLong TimeEightErasLoudObsessedChordsPsychedelicWriting PoetryHendrixCringe Author:Ladyhawke

“"The River" [song] is also, yes, very metaphorical. Rivers are cleansing. As long as human beings have been on the Earth we've used rivers to cleanse ourselves. And, for me, the lyrics "something in the river," I think is - well, the river is a metaphor for where I was at the time.” ThinkingHumansWellsLongHas BeensEarthUsedSongHuman BeingsRiversMetaphorCleansingMetaphorical Author:Ladyhawke
