  • We bitch and we fight
    Diss each other on sight
    But this thing we do
    These times together
    Rain or shine or stormy weather
    This thing we do
    With world-weary grace
    We've taken our places
    We could curse it or nurse it and give it a name
    Or stay home by the fire, felled by desire
    Stoking the flame
    But we're here for the ride

    It's louder than words
    This thing that we do
    Louder than words
    The way it unfurls
    It's louder than words
    The sum of our parts
    The beat of our hearts
    Is louder than words
    Louder than words

    The strings bend and slide
    As the hours glide by
    An old pair of shoes, your favorite blues
    Gonna tap out the rhythm
    Let's go with the flow, wherever it goes
    We're more than alive

    It's louder than words
    This thing that we do
    Louder than words
    The way it unfurls
    It's louder than words
    The sum of our parts
    The beat of our hearts
    Is louder than words
    Louder than words
    This thing they call soul
    Is there with a pulse
    Louder than words
    Louder than words

  • A PasserbyThe Endless River BECAME Amazon UK's most pre-ordered album of all time.

    Great sorrow...What kind of music are people listening to today?
    ...But at least, The Endless River has been brilliant in this pop music-filled society.

    The endless river
    Forever and ever
