"The River of Life" is @jasperdick 's latest song and was inspired by Andy’s Club Take 1! It's funny how musical inspiration works. It can hit at any time, and sometimes the weirdest/ most inconvenient times! For me, it's usually while I am napping or stuck in traffic.
This one had Jasper Dick scrounging for a piece of paper and a pen during Andy's Club #1 during performances, and Matt Roux came to the rescue. This song is the result of that moment of inspiration!
The song itself is an introspective reminder of values and boundaries, love and learning to let go when things are not yours to fix or be responsible for. We are all floating down the river of life, and it is a beautiful reminder to care for each other, but to proverbially put one's own mask on before being able to help others.
Jasper Dick is a phenomenal songwriter and it is an honor that he openly shares his works with me, @clairemobey and MobeyDick.
"The River of Life" - Written by Jasper Dick and performed by MobeyDick live at Andy’s Club - Take 2
I'm floating down the river
The river of life
May the next bend be easy, My friend
But if it is rife with danger
Then I will survive
Did my Mother and Father
Teach me how to sail?
Will I play the victim
And blame them if I fail?
No, I'm fully grown, and I've left home, there's no-one here to save me, my life is my own
I'm floating down the river
The river of life
May the next bend be easy, My friend
But if it is rife with danger
Then I will survive
Some people might look better
From where you stand
But I have seen big boats stranded
Stuck on shallow sand
So why should I care, if people stare? No one gets to judge me. My life is my own.
I'm floating down the river
The river of life
May the next bend be easy, My friend
But if it is rife with danger
Then I will survive
Let me try to help you
Throw a lifeline if you drown
But I must remember, my friend
Not to let you pull me down
It breaks my heart, but if you don't start, There's no way I can save you. Your life is your own.
Keep floating down the river
The river of life
May the next bend be easy, My friend
But if it is rife with danger
Then I will survive
I really liked it. It was a great fun listening.

Where has Jasper been ??? I have missed him in this space, hehe
This is good combination. Lovely music
He's decided to take a bit of a sabbatical from Ecency. I think he was using a lot of his time which he can't afford to do right now. He is super busy. At least we still get to make music though!!
Alright, now I get it
My regards to him
