Song about how paddling down a river can be so relaxing. Many listeners say this song has a Caribbean/Buffet feel to it.

Nouveau retro pop rock music: Definitely rock, fairly pop, somewhat retro, and a bit more experimental. http://www.stonemarmot.com
Our music is the result of not watching TV for over 40 straight years. That's right! The person who writes all our songs hasn't had a working television in his house since January, 1982. Scary, isn't it! That could explain the somewhat retro, rather experimental feel to the music, which has been described as sounding somewhere between Buddy Holly, The Ramones, The B-52s, and They Might Be Giants. This CD is an object lesson in how warped and depraved a television-starved mind can get. And that's not all! To make matters worse, since no self-respecting human would stoop low enough to play this stuff, he suckered four poor, innocent cartoon characters into recording his music. Cartoon characters have it tough enough as it is, with people laughing at them all the time, without having to be subjected to this! His poor, unfortunate victims, who refer to themselves collectively as Stone Marmot, are: Cindy: Guitars Sid: Keyboards, guitars, lead and backup vocals Sammy: Bass, lead and backup vocals Bruce: Percussion, backup vocals This quartet played their little paper hearts out as the ignoble fiend who created them and their music practically produced and engineered them to death. Therefore, for the sake of the cartoons, we hope you give their music a good listen and try to appreciate their tireless and selfless efforts. Please! Don't let this happen to you or someone you love! Be sure you and your loved ones receive a healthy minimum dose of television each and every day.

Story behind the song
I wrote this song while paddling my kayak down the Alafia River in central Florida. You can download this song from Apple iTunes.
Lyrics
River, flowing like a river Rapture awakens in my soul Sunshine dancing on the water Takes away my troubles, makes me feel whole Yesterday, my life was gray as she said her last goodbye (Alternate: as he said his last goodbye) Now that I’m floating on my real true friend, I see no reason to cry River, floating down that river Peaceful, peaceful on my mind Hurry, I’ve got no time to hurry Mother Nature has got me feeling fine Cypress trees, with their sturdy knees and their straight skyscraping spines Make my problems seem so petty and meek, they’ll never stand the test of time River, flowing like a river Rapture awakens in my soul Sunshine dancing on the water Takes away my troubles, makes me feel whole River, floating down that river Peaceful, peaceful on my mind Hurry, I’ve got no time to hurry Mother Nature has got me feeling fine Got me feeling fine Got me feeling fine Copyright 2003 A.
