SOEN - River (Official Audio) 

Been a long time since I shut everything out and listened to an album from start to finish, not feeling the urge to forward/skip anything. This album is a masterpiece.

One of the most beautiful songs I've heard in my life.

I will forever remember this song... I heard it on my way home, the day that my dear dog died.. I earlier knew what happened but I was far from my house and at work, and this is the last song I've listened before oppening my door and cry with my family... She had a cancer and her last days were horrible, she was losing control of her body and I didn't recognise her at all, she was already gone and that's where this song punched me in the heart and mostly these 2 lines who perfectly describes how I was seing my dog and how powerless I was feeling : "I see you but I can’t feel your presence. I feel you but you’re fading away." I've always loved you from the bottom of my heart, Rest In Peace Chipie.

This song makes me feel emotions, it makes me feel alive, sad, appreciative, it just makes me feel and it's absolutely beautiful.

This song makes me cry so much, it makes me suffer. I love it.

yeah spotify is nice, but being able to express your feelings and thoughts through comments even if it's not going to be read by anyone is what makes youtube special i think. amazing song imo. i'm not a real metal listener anymore but this is something special.

As I'm walking alone, I remember the times when we played here Leaving a broken home, making sure we were whole and together Every failure we shared, every night that we were forsaken I would dream of a life far away from it all but you All these words that I left unspoken I will say when I meet you again I see you but I can't feel your presence I feel you but you're fading away Time is wise and our wounds seem to heal to the rhythm of aging But our past is a ghost fading out that at night it's still haunting We are growing apart still I know that inside you're aching But the scars that we share will remind us of who we are All these words that I left unspoken I will say when I meet you again I see you but I can't feel your presence I feel you but you're fading away Let it all wither Let it all wither and let it go Let it all wither Let it all wither and let it go Let it all wither Let it all wither and let it go Let it all wither Let it all wither and let it go Let it all wither Let it all wither and let it go Let it all wither

The ending is simply haunting

This song touches a place inside my heart because I'd lost someone whom loved me as much as I did him and never got to say goodbye , I hope someday to see him again 🙏

I'm sensing more and more Pink Floyd vibes from them. Ever since I found Soen in 2014-15, they never cease to amaze me. 4 absolutely fantastic albums in less than a decade. Please Soen never stop making magical music.

"All these words that I left unspoken, I will say when I meet you again." Such a mesmerizing song! It makes me feel like I'm feeling and realizing everything deeply.. Despite it always hurts, i'd like sing that song with my soulmate when I find him one day while we are dancing...

Just wanna share that this song brings me a lot of joy and pain at the same time. A masterpiece indeed.

This is a masterpiece! The whole album is a masterpiece. Especially this song, at least for me. I felt like an old lighthouse enlightened my whole soul and made me realize I was so numb for a long time. I know it is a sad song, but you can feel the heart, the heat and the life emanating from the singing, the guitar playing, from all the musicians and people involved in such a perfect harmony. I feel the sadness in this song but the greatness of this feeling also makes me want to live all emotion in my life with this intensity, this fierceness.

Let it all wither and let it go.

they makes music with heart in it..

Damn good. First song that could make me cry in quite some time.

This song is a Masterpiece. Shame on the world that this one is not as widely known as despacito. Come on in the 70s or 80s this would have been a classic.

I'll be listening to them in 4 days in Istanbul. I hope they'll play this song.

The evolution of Joel Ekelöfs voice is just amazing. There is so much depth in his singing, i'm getting lost everytime i hear it!♥

This song makes me cry.

What a magnificent piece. Such a beautifully evocative song. The sad power in the lyrics is so masterfully conveyed by the stirring arrangement. Thank you Soen.

The falsetto at the end sounds like Agent Fresco, and I absolutely love it. This band took a really long time to grow on me, but this album got me.

My stepfather, who was arguably the biggest help in raising me as a child into becoming a young man, recently passed away after battling pancreatic cancer. I understand this song is not about a father and son, but the lyrics throughout this beautiful piece relate to the relationship that I had with him so much, and I find it therapeutic, heartwarming, and also very sad to listen to. "Leaving a broken home, making sure we were whole and together", relates to how he took my mother and I in his home, under his wing, and took such great care of us, and he treated her right. When I was 4 years old, him and my mom conceived with what was going to be their only child, and his only blood child, but she miscarried. He told my mom that "it's okay, we have Zach." Being 25 years old now, and him saying that means so much more to me than words could ever describe. "Every failure we shared, every night that we were forsaken", I relate to the hardships that we had the first couple years my mother and stepfather got together. We got through it all and we each came out stronger every time. "All these words that I left unspoken, I will say when I meet you again." Pretty self explanatory there. Although, in his last couple months when his cancer battle was beginning to get the best of him, I began telling him how much I love him, and how much I appreciate everything that he has done for my mom and I over the last 2 decades, among many other things. I wanted him to hear all of that and know that before anything bad would happen. So I am thankful that emotionally filled lyric does not hit me super hard. "I see you, but I can't feel your presence. I feel you, but you are fading away." This is the lyric that makes me cry every single time. When he was on his deathbed with about 10 minutes left to live, I was looking at him taking very few breaths, eyes open and no longer blinking, no longer able to respond, seeing that he was there, but I could no longer feel his presence. I went to the side of his bed and held his hand, "feeling" him, but I knew he was fading away. I told him thank you for everything. Raising me, taking great care of my mom, taking me under his wing as his own son, and just simply being a wonderful beam of energy to always be around. He passed away about 30 seconds after I said my goodbye. He had an ever so slight smile on his face. That was after about 2 hours of him unable to make any sort of expression or response of any kind. That will forever make me happy and keep me at peace with losing him. So with all of that being said, thank you to all who have read through my personal story about my stepfather who I will forever love so much. And thank you Soen for crafting such a masterpiece that I will cherish and relate to my stepfather for the rest of my life. 💙

This is some transcendental stuff. Beautiful

Killer new album. Lotus' songs are written and arranged perferctly

Soen's best song. That piano is absolutely beautiful.

joel's vocal range is just absolutely insane!!! Just pure legendary stuff!

I don’t need to listen to the other songs before making up my mind. This is easily my favorite Soen song and my favorite Soen album.

Just picked up this vinyl yesterday and this song literally just brought me to tears. Never has a song done that...

One of the best songs i've ever heard in my whole life👌🏾

I want.to.cry. I.love.this....

Discovered this band recently... This is amazing!

I fucking love this song. bought Lotus and Imperial on Amazon

Let it all wither Let it all wither and let it go...

One of the BEST tracks on this record - and I didn't expect a mellow track to be so good and diverse like this one.

This has been on repeat for a while now

Que carajos hacía hace 3 años que no conocía a esta banda, Diooooos que arte

What a beautiful and meaningful song. I just loved it.

Sublime!

The most beautiful ending

So heart-wrenching and beautiful, my god.

Listening to this song makes me miss my other half when i actually do not have one

🖤bitiriyor beni bu şarkı ya girişi de mükemmel

Semplicemente GRAZIE, Soen.

This song always gets me choked up 🥺

One of the things about soen that I really love and some how is different with another's band is song ending.as music goes forward it become better and better

"But the scars that we share will remind us of who we are" Damn that hits so fucking hard!

goosebumpscentral...

One of the best, if not the best track on the album...

Αυτό το τραγούδι είναι τόσο ωραίο και εχει πραγματικά στίχους με μεγαλο νοημα. Με συγκινει όπως οι Anathema και με μαγεύει όπως οι Opeth...Ο τραγουδιστης μου θυμίζει φουλ κ τον Μικαελ κ τον Βινσεντ απ τ δυο συγκροτήματα.. Μακάρι αυτοι οι τρεις να εκαναν μια ωραία συνεργασία μαζί. :(

Belissimo! Uma canção metafísica.

Definitely my favorite song of this album. Was not really into your prior albums, but this is something else.

the whole world would be infinitely a better place if everyone heard this song

Great song.

Perfect

My faaavvv 💫❤

THANK YOU FOR THE BEAUTIFUL NIGHT I HAD YESTERDAY AT THE DOME IN O'HIGGINS PARK - (24/03/2022) YOU MADE ME SEE THE LIGHT IN A HORRIBLE WEEK. THKS. FOR VISIT CHILE, PLEASE COME BACK

This song is just amazing !

Müthiş bir şarkı

You know, a friend of mine just kind of... started ghosting me. No clue why. This song kind of makes me feel like, maybe we're going on different paths, but there's still a chance that our paths will cross and reconnect.

Amazing!

wonderful song!

incredible

Music simply doesn´t get much better than this. Many thanks for your amazing songs. I´m really looking forward to your gig here at Olympia in Tampere Finland. Keep it up and all the best for the Lotus world tour! P. s. One just can not help digging this if the acts like Pink Floyd, Opeth and TOOL are close to your heart!

Una despedida o un reencuentro. El nunca poder separarse de aquello que no volveremos a ver jamás... 🌙

LOVE this... I just bought the c/d on Amazon!!!

So fucking beautiful it’s untrue

love u guys

como disseram abaixo, uma das músicas mais lindas que já ouvi na vida, realmente.

Esto es un poema puesto sobre un pentagrama.
