I think I finally understand Romy's song The River Away From You a lot better than I used to. Took me a while. Apparently, some lessons don't come with a fast-forward button. 🤷‍♂️ ㅤ So I asked her if I could borrow her lyrics and give them a Deepwater Version. Same words, different perspective. This time, through the eyes of a man who's lived that strange kind of burnout where you're slowly falling apart, but somehow finding your way back to yourself. ㅤ It's a gentle kind of burnout. Painful, sure, but strangely liberating. Sometimes drifting away isn't really about losing someone. It's about finally finding yourself. ㅤ Anyway, sorry Romy. I borrowed your river. 😅 ㅤ [VERSE] Morning found us getting older Your bare feet across the floor Sunday sunlight on your shoulder Your old jacket by the door Nothing happened worth remembering Still I remember everything We'd miss the ending of the movie Talking underneath our breath You'd steal the blanket, I'd complain Then pull you closer nonetheless No fireworks above the rooftops Just your head against my chest I can see that moment clearly Every shadow, every chair I can picture it so perfectly Though I have never once been there ㅤ [PRE-CHORUS] Some lives can feel like memories ㅤ [CHORUS] The river split beneath the moon My water slowly drifted away from you The river split beneath the moon I let the current carry me away from you ㅤ [CHORUS] The river split beneath the moon My water slowly drifted away from you The river split beneath the moon I let the current carry me away from youmore

Sixties haze, modern fights. Heavy grooves, fuzz guitars, and choruses built for a crowd to shout back. Peace played loud, defiance played gentle. Old sound, new fire, same call to stand your ground.- Mastered by mixea.commore

Somewhere Nobody Knows - NWBlake The audio engineer in the studio captured video of me without me knowing but we cut each short and just looped it for the lyric video that you can view on Youtube (link above) or on my FB @ Nathan Blake. Somewhere Nobody Knows is a raw, introspective track about the weight of carrying the quiet battles and the need for a quiet space to process pain. Built for late-night drives and solitary moments when you just need to lay down the armor. My songs are often longer than what the algorithm wants, but I'm here to tell the whole story, not cut parts of it to fit a format.more
