He was a musician from very early age until his death. He always played guitar,sang,And wrote songs along with his sister. Thanks for posting this song . Rest in peace River.
A star named River was born and the star became a shooting star that will never fade away and never die,just look up in the sky to see how brightly he still shines.
He just trusted a friend and drank something that had drugs inside. He didn’t mean to take drugs. After that drink, he took some valium because he wasn’t feeling alright and than happened what we know...
He’s such an angel. He was so pure, delicate, he was a blessing to this world. I will cherish his music til the day I die. This song brings tears to my eyes.. I’m so glad we still have a piece of him. R.I.P River Phoenix
Heart to Get There seems to be a distance between us now and I can't Hold on to your hand darling, if I could, you know I would but you're So far from me I hardly see you anymore. Then you ask me for the words of truth I send you If I send them all in fear, if the end is growing near? The end is something you can't tell until it falls upon you I couldn't be your lover; I couldn't catch you fall Didn't write you notes I do insist, you're what I miss, I should have called, I'm holding onto our last kiss. There seems to be a difference between us now and I can't Hold on to the memories of you and I in our world You're in our world without me You need someone who wants to rule. Then he sends you flowers That read you all Write your answers, love You can't resist, it's what you miss I didn't call I left you feeling lost within Then you looked me in the eyes of blue eye, I show you All the secrets I can't You are getting nothing but Honest words with reasons And some questions in my mind I couldn't be your lover; I couldn't catch you fall Didn't write you notes I do insist, you're what I miss We should have songs to things That was my only wish Here I stand before you Spilling all the dirtiest things I've done On your newly tailored dress You're quite upset I made a mess On your newly tailored dress You must confess It's something that you bargained for The times I'm at my best You couldn't ask for less, you couldn't ask for more
YES! River was sweet and very spirtual! I can listen to this song over and over again.. its so cute! awwwww i miss River! God bless the Phoenix family especially during the holiday's. They are always in my heart!!! I consider River my spiritual " brother"... I adore him , and its all PURE!
I heard this song on a documentary of river and instantly loved it, he kind of has a Beatles sound but I was surprised he had so much musical talent. Does he have any other songs?
Hello. I saw /heard this tribute this just yesterday. I was so over-come with emotions when i heard this that i began to cry. When i hear River's voice it is so angelic. Why did River leave us in 1993? I alwways ask why. I think God needed an angel, afterall God pick's his ROSES, and river sure was a beautiful soul. He had a hard life and was hurt by many, but nobody can hurt River ever again. May God bless him and his wonderful family, and god bless you. You have put JOY into my heart!
River Phoenix WROTE this song!! (according to Wiki) Wrote & recorded it.... he always wanted to be a musician!! (Amazing life story - I had no idea...)
I watched the Director's Cut of the movie and enjoyed it. This song reminds me of someone I used to know, who I had a somewhat similar relationship with like Jimmy does with Lisa.
He has simply gone on tour abroad with his beloved band Aleka's Attic. He sings, plays his guitar, writes songs and enjoys the nature he defends so much.❤
It's on the dvd "A Night in the Life of Jimmy Reardon" the Director's Cut. It plays at the end during the credits. You have to get the Director's Cut, they didn't put this song in the original release of the movie. When I was a teenager I read in a magazine that River had written and recorded a song for this movie and I was SO excited about it, then they cut it from the movie. I didn't get to hear it until MANY years later after the internet was invented and I found out about the Director's Cut.
The releasing of this film is a personal and private venture of Mr. Sluzier and requires a large financial budget! This film is not intended to be commercially released which means it wont be in theatre's and wont be distributed world wide for sale. The only way to secure a copy of the dvd is to donate a minimum of 50 euros and that helps with the cost of finalizing the film.
This is amazing! Thank you for posting and sharing this with us. He was so talented... it's nice to hear his beautiful voice again. This made me smile and think of him, his sweetness, his beauty, his range as an artist...and what could have been. Thank you again. Does this have a title?
This video is truely my favourite one EVER! I WANT to thank you again for sharing it! Its my early christmas gift, the BEST gift i could ask for! AWESOME! I am singing along with precious River and its sooooooooooo sweet!!!! THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU! MERRY CHRISTMAS! Colleen
@Big8535 Beautifully Said....best thing is to ignore ignorant ppl who make themselves feel superior by making negative judgements about others.... Peace
@BedazzleGlitterGal He had a sweetness and an ability to translate potent energy through his music. His music makes people FEEL.... it is alchemy. He was angelic and thus he remains an enigma and an angel. :) Thank you for the comment. Joy = Perfection
The family is Amazing Souls. I first met them at rock against fur at Palladium in 86 i believe Alekas Attic is the name and they released a 20th anniversary record.. which i didnt get my hands on yet lol
nao consigo explicar o enorme amor que eu sinto por river phoenix, ja assisti seus filmes mais de 1 milhao de vezes, vejo videos dele e sempre choro muito, ele consegue tocar minha alma como nenhuma outra celebridade, e só o descobri a algum tempo atras, sua historia de vida e sua tragica morte nao saem da minha cabeça, ele era um ser iluminado, tinha uma beleza estonteante, era super talentoso, pq ele tinha que se morrer daquele jeito horrivel? tao triste, ele era tao jovem, malditas drogas...... ele era lindo em todos os sentidos, nunca vou esquecer de seu sorriso lindo...... descanse em paz doce anjo...... mesmo depois de 20 anos que ele se foi, ele consegue tocar varias pessoas de uma forma unica e arrebatadora ! Te amo pra sempre RIO !
This song is in the Director's Cut with of the movie with the title of the original book " JIMMY REARDON -- AREN'T YOU EVEN GONNA KISS ME GOODBYE?" which is available on Amazon Prime and at my website riverphoenixjimmyreardon.com. This film has the original score and narration as I wrote and conceived it, and this was the version of the movie that River loved, before the film was moved to Fox with help from his mother.
The only two gorgeous men I ever saw on TV were, River Phoenix & Elvis Presley. Elvis wanted to act, but could sing better, and River wanted to sing, but could act better. Sad that they weren't happy.
This song is included in the director's cut of Jimmy Reardon, "Arnt you even gonna kiss me goodbye" (Available directly from the director William Richert at riverphoenixjimmyreardon dot com )
This song is growing on me but I don't know all the lyrics. It has a nice and innocent sound. The lyrics showing on screen are wrong I think. For instance kid is kiss I think.
