**Album:** Lea Thomas - "River Runs Through" · **Artist:** Lea Thomas · **Released:** 10 September 2024 · **Label:** Triple Dolphin

"River Runs Through" doesn't need its full 8-plus minute run time. **Lea Thomas** is done singing long before the song's melodic throughline finally fades, but the pastoral song's persistent presence is just one thoughtful facet of this valuable gift for the listener. It's also the perfect example of what makes Lea Thomas's music so important.  

Thomas's compositions are lived-in and thought-through, filled with a deeper abiding wisdom that belies the artist's youth. Songs like "River Runs Through" feel like they were slowly discerned and received from the muse, and they're offered as companion songs for those willing to slow down enough to soak in them.

[*Cosmos Forever*](https://leathomas.bandcamp.com/album/cosmos-forever?ref=analogue.io)is Thomas's forthcoming album (out on Triple Dolphin on September 20 and it's filled with the sort of pastoral beauty found here. For now, enjoy a taste of Thomas's latest single.

Here are the lyrics to "River Runs Through":

*A river runs through us* 
*It pushes and pulls us* 
*A room full of strangers* 
*To witness each other* 
*And what kind of magic* 
*Has brought us together* 
*Right here* 
*Right now*

*A river runs through us* 
*It runs on forever* 
*It gathers our stories* 
*Of love and of worry* 
*A mirror before us* 
*Above and below us* 
*That brings us together* 
*Right here* 
*Right now*

*Oh brother the light bends over your head* 
*And I see the river run through you* 
*And sister the night turns into your hair* 
*And I see the river run through you*
