Song Spotlight #4 – Bishop Briggs – River

Sung by singer-songwriter Bishop Briggs,
“River” is a powerful song with an impressive musical range.
From the gentle folk open with fingerpicked guitar,
to the giant surges of bass before the hooks,
and to the trudging rock beat that emerges during the chorus, this song is a unique blend of different musical genres.
The lyrics also convey strong, torn, and controlling tones and moods.
