I will not respond to any negative responses about this song. I am looking to discuss it with people who like it!

cool.gif For some reason The River has been bashed repeatedly on this board. I wanted to make a forum for those that love the song to talk about it without worrying what everyone else thinks. I have had a chance to obsorb SFBM for a while now and there are three songs that stand out to me. Mystery, Love Shines, and The River.

I think that The River is a great song. In fact, it may be my favorite on the album. Despite what others think, I enjoy the melody, I think the hook is catch, and I think it is a fun song to listen too.

I wanted to hear what other lovers of this song think.

You probably hate Waitress because Ed whistles, or Brown Eyed Girl because of the Sha La La La La La La La La.

What a stupid reason to discount a song.

I'm down with The River.

The whistling in Waitress is incredible and completely unrelated to what I am talking about.

In Brown Eyed Girl it is in the absolute perfect place in the song, and it actually goes along with the flow of the song.

The River opens with it, and it has nothing to do with the song whatsoever. It just makes Ed sound like a girl, and it's completely un-Live-like. It's amazing the difference between the 90s Live fans and the 00s Live fans. I can't believe some Live fans actually like that. To each his own, I guess.
