Well whatever Mr. English, when asked about what it was about I think he tried way too hard to make it sound a lot deeper and meaningful than it actually is.

I'd have more respect for Ed if he just said "Here's The River, it's a song about fucking".

He has said that numerous times during his promo tour in 2006. He basically called it a song about having sex.

Exactly, so why now all the spiritual spiel and 'completing'.

Did you follow the original link and see the YouTube Video?

And I quote from Ed's Mouth:

"The woman presence in the chorus is, you know, let my loving ease your pain, in other words lets come together and sort of complete each other"


Here's a link to the video just in case:

Isn't that the same thing as sex? Just a nicer way of putting it?

If completing each other comes down to just a polite way to mention having sex, it's a sad world.

Ed' little speech and declaring the song as one of the most beautiful songs ever done made me feel like slapping him right in the ego. It's far from the most beautiful songs he's done, never mind other artists. I wish I hadn't seen that little vignette of twattery to be honest.
