A mellow R&B/jazz/pop that starts out very laid back and simple, but grows in intensity, with a delicate bridge that explains it all.

Artist picture
Kansas songwriter Steve Cowell presents his unique styles of pop/rock music and intelligent lyrics.
Hi, I'm Steve Cowell. I'm the leader of the group and I write all the words and music. I also play all the instruments and sing everything, which gets lonely at times, but at least there are few ego clashes and I get along pretty well with the other guys in the band most of the time. We all grew up together and have been playing music together since childhood.

Story behind the song
Musically, this started as a simple melodic theme and just took on a life of its own. The words are about a friend who was facing death, and unfortunately passed away before I could play the song for him. Rootbuoy, this one's for you!
Lyrics
River of Souls Copyright 2006 by Steve Cowell Verse: My time is coming but I don’t know when Don’t know the year or the way I never thought I’d be here forever But now, I’d kinda like to stay But damn! You never know when the ax will fall When you will chuck it in and finally lose it all There ain’t no use complaining, cause you had your ride And it’s a short, short trip to the other side Chrorus: And how I love my life in the physical world It’s hard to rise above, ’cause it’s got such a hold And I am only one drop in the river of souls Verse: I don’t remember where I’ve been before And now I don’t really care I’ll never know where I may be going It doesn’t matter once you’re there But while I’m still around I wanna make some noise I wanna taste the love , I wanna feel the joys I wanna smell the seasons in the bright sunlight Before I go down swinging in my final fight (Chorus) Bridge: A drop of water glistening in the mid day sun Will disappear, but it’s never really gone Up in the sky it remains It will return as the rain And then it dries up again So it goes on and on
