Artist picture
A combination of artists like Peter Gabriel, Sting, Steely Dan, Marillion, John Mayer, etc., that creates a sound uniquely Simon Apple.
Two Philadelphia area musicians, Buzz Saylor and Jeff Miller, formed Simon Apple with the intentions of writing material that combined their favorite elements of pop, progressive rock, and jazz, coupled with positive, hopeful, thought-provoking, even sometimes humorous messages. Imagine a cross of Peter Gabriel, Sting, Steely Dan, Marillion, John Mayer, Dave Matthews Band, Genesis, Kevin Gilbert, Pat Metheny Group, Supertramp, Bruce Hornsby. If those artists do nothing for you, then you will likely hate Simon Apple's music as well! (Where's the love?). The 2004 release, 'River To The Sea', features several Grammy-winning and multi-platinum guest artists including: Bassist Tony Levin (Peter Gabriel, King Crimson, John Lennon, Pink Floyd), guitarist Buck Dharma (Blue Oyster Cult), saxophonist John Helliwell (Supertramp), cellist Hugh McDowell (Electric Light Orchestra), bassist Steve Rodby (Pat Metheny Group), and trumpeter Dave Stahl (Buddy Rich, Frank Sinatra, Harry Connick, Jr.).

Lyrics
Down by the river side, watching the idle moments ripple by. Beneath the ever-changing sky, we are but travelers, you and I. Something I feel inside stirs with the ancient rhythms of the tide. So many ways the world provides these parallels in our lives. And I may change, and you may change… But the river stays the same... the river stays the same. Here we are on a river to the sea. Time moves on like the water under me. Chances are, on this river to the sea, We may change, yet the river will always be… Destined to the sea. So rapid are the years over the falls into the depths of fear. Channels of fate have brought me here And now it's all so clear…. That I have changed, and you have changed… But the river stays the same... The river stays the same. Here we are on a river to the sea. Time moves on like the water under me Chances are, on this river to the sea, We may change, yet the river will always be… Destined to the sea…
