"The Same River" is our "first ever" song. The homonymus, our philosophical statement as a band. Heraclitus quote ("it is impossible to step in the same river twice") gave us a reason not to look back. We have to realise thats life is a short journey and nothing is for granted. Take your chances and live. Be the river that flows because in the end nothing really matters.
lyrics
"The Same River"
In constant change,
but still remains,
the same river rolling on.
In constant change,
oppose the same,
a world of words
keeps moving on.
Well, nothing matters,
nothing to be told.
That is to say, unity will fail,
if all existence starts to fade.
But, in constant change,
we still remain,
a world of words
which is rolling on.
Well, nothing matters,
nothing to be told.
“You could not step twice into the same rivers.
For other waters are ever flowing on to You!”
In constant change,
but still remains,
the same river rolling on.

This is colossal. I’ve been enjoying these guys for years but this album is next level. They seemed to have found their stride & it’s a biggin’. I feel that they’re heading into the Groove/Rock Genre of Clutch but still carry that epic, larger-than-life sound you’d expect from Zeppelin or later era Soundgarden. Their sound is tighter than a fish’s ass (and that’s water tight) & whatever these guys are doing; I’m loving it. And…the vocals are so, so, so good! I’m excited for their next outing. Harry Harrison
