about

Its about canoeing down a rushing river in pristine wilderness, braving frothing whitewater and making your way through the natural world, in awe of it all.

lyrics

City boy’s gone to country
Returned to the wilderness
Looking for those things I missed so long

I envy the animals
Their tough instinctuality
And I’ve never felt it this strong

As I go down this river
Giving thanks to the giver
Strong current with the rushing speed
Everything’s coming back to me

And it gets so intense when it all makes sense yeah
I’m overwhelmed with the joy of life- so free yeah

As I go down this river
Giving thanks to the giver
For choice in opportunity
With many streams flowing to the sea

As I paddle down this river
Accept these gifts delivered
Stars shine above the trees
Brings me down to my knees

And it gets so intense when it all makes sense yeah
It reaffirms my faith there’s no accidents yeah

Rolling river, tossed and crashing waves from windy skies to deep blue
Dancing waters all in motion, while inside I have stillness of my soul

Well I’m making moves and paddling steady
Don’t stop now in the swirling eddy
Backstroke if I’m not quite ready
But always keep movin’ on

As I flow down this river
Cool water it makes me shiver
Like the birds that fly so free
This fish is swimming to the sea

And it gets intense when it all makes sense yeah
Overwhelms me with the joy of life
So free

about

Jan Dylan Hunter image

Jan Dylan Hunter Santa Rosa, California

I play all the instruments on all my recordings unless otherwise noted, my main tools being guitar, keyboard and percussion.

I grew up in the Virgin Islands where I learned steel pan, percussion and clarinet.

Since then living in other states like California exposed me to more culture. Recent trips throughout Europe and the US have also really widened my musicabulary.
-Still taking it all in. ... more
