Music is something I find very important and am rarely not listening to something. There are many songs about water and rivers, and I realized that some of my favorite songs fall into this category. I want to show two songs to you all that are very different stylistically but have a very similar message.

“Like a River” by My Morning Jacket   This is my favorite song and is part of their newest album The Waterfall, which I recommend listening all the way through.

This song describes a love for the river and the joy of flowing with the river.

Similarly the collaboration between two excellent singers: Johnny Flynn and Laura Marling named “The Water” describes the importance of water. Not only does water sustaining physically with life and growth, the water sustains the soul of a person.
