Lyrics:
the windows turned to fishbowls
the city to seas
the cars were drowning underneath your feet
the children were swimming from the top of the trees
crowds of umbrellas were staring in misbelief
well mary kept sewing
holding on to her tv
even if the water was rising past her knees
here comes the river
coming on strong
and you can’t keep your head above these troubled waters
here comes the river
over the flames
sometimes you got to burn to keep the storm away
sometimes
sometimes you got to just
nobody told you that it was going to be this hard
something's been building behind your eyes
you lost what you hold onto
you’re losing control
there ain't any words in this world that are going to cure this pain
sometimes it’s going to fall down on your shoulders
but you’re going to stand through it all
here comes the river coming on strong
and you can’t keep your head above these troubled waters
here comes the river over the flames
sometimes you got to burn to keep the storm away
sometimes
sometimes you got to just
Patrick Watson Bio:
The Canadian artist has reached gold and platinum status in multiple countries (including five certified gold albums in Canada), and his shows sell out around the world. Over the course of his career, Patrick Watson has retained the uncanny ability to coexist in mainstream pop-culture spaces and on the avant-garde fringes. Patrick’s songs have been featured in primetime crowd-pleasers like Grey’s Anatomy and This Is Us, as well as in multiple arthouse films from Denis Villeneuve (Polytechnique), Wim Wenders (Perfect Days), and Philippe Falardeau (C’est pas moi, je le jure!) and more. He’s an artist who’s as comfortable performing impromptu pop-up shows on the train tracks in a Quebec mining town as he is leading the BBC Orchestra at London’s prestigious Barbican. He’s an in-demand composer with over 15 film scores under his belt. He was awarded the prestigious inaugural Impact Award at the 2024 Canadian Sync Awards. Watson’s viral single "Je te laisserai des mots" became the first French song to accumulate 1 billion streams on Spotify.
But whether you discovered Patrick Watson through your local indie record shop, a movie soundtrack, a social-media video, a European music festival, his hit collaboration with Cinematic Orchestra (2007’s “To Build a Home”), or through his appearance alongside Patti Smith and Michael Stipe at the 2021 Pathway to Paris all-star benefit concert, his music has a similar effect on all who enter his kaleidoscopic sound-world. The songs of Patrick Watson transform your everyday surroundings into your own imaginary wonderland, translating stress and sorrow into joy, and helping you find peace within the chaos of modern life.
