Rivermouth is a love song, both human and elemental. The depths of the human heart and the force of a river are wild and unchartered at their core… best given room to swell and stretch with the tides and seasons. This song speaks to that liquid longing in all of us. The raging storms. The playful meandering of a cold river on a hot day. The girth and power of fresh water meeting ocean. The subtle beauty of letting a loved one ebb and flow without restraint. Of letting our rivers do the same.
Rising Appalachia has been working with Mississippi River, Gulf, and Klamath water protectors for years and have branched out to form alliance with Waterkeepers around the world working towards preserving drinkable, fishable, swimmable water everywhere. We hope this song and this collaboration with WaterKeeper Alliance will strengthen awareness of water protection efforts worldwide and encourage us all to speak for the wild inside and out.
