Inspiration Music Project 7

December starts tomorrow and with it comes wonderful, magical atmosphere and counting down to Christmas. It's definitely my fave time of the year. And one of the reasons for that are Christmas songs - there are so many beautiful songs that I can listen to endlessly. Today one of them - River by Joni Mitchel but sung by Sarah McLachlan because I prefer this version. When I heard it for the first time I immediately fell in love with the music and the lyrics - especially the verse:

I wish I had a river so long
I would teach my feet to fly

You can watch the clip here.
And here is the lyrics:

Its coming on christmas
Theyre cutting down trees
Theyre putting up reindeer
And singing songs of joy and peace
Oh I wish I had a river
I could skate away on
But it dont snow here
It stays pretty green
Im going to make a lot of money
Then Im going to quit this crazy scene
I wish I had a river
I could skate away on
I wish I had a river so long
I would teach my feet to fly
Oh I wish I had a river
I could skate away on
I made my baby cry

He tried hard to help me
You know, he put me at ease
And he loved me so naughty
Made me weak in the knees
Oh I wish I had a river
I could skate away on
Im so hard to handle
Im selfish and Im sad
Now Ive gone and lost the best baby
That I ever had
Oh I wish I had a river
I could skate away on
I wish I had a river so long
I would teach my feet to fly
Oh I wish I had a river
I made my baby say goodbye

Its coming on christmas
Theyre cutting down trees
Theyre putting up reindeer
And singing songs of joy and peace
I wish I had a river
I could skate away on
