gonna take it all and set me free

Artist- Amos Lee
Song of the day- Black River

I was at my friend Bill's house the other night and we was telling me about this tribe that once a year would go down to the river and spend as much time as it took, sometimes all day, and everyone in the tribe could scream and shout and curse and let out any and every anger and frustration they had been holding inside. And when they felt they had gotten it all out, they'd pick up mud from the river, give it to a Shaman who would take it to the desert to bury it, to bury it. As I'm starting to feel that oh too similar feeling of anger, frustration, stress, freakout of school and the future building up inside me as I start my last quarter of school, I stumbled upon this song which reminded me of Bill's story. To not carry around all that gunk, but to try and find a way to release it. So if anyone wants to find a river and throw some mud with me, let me know! Till then I hope this song brings you a similar feeling.



Woah, black river,
gonna take my cares away.
Woah, black river,
gonna take my cares away.
Gonna take my cares,
gonna carry my cares,
gonna take my care away.
Gonna take my cares,
gonna carry my cares,
gonna take my care away.

Woah, dear saviour,
gonna take my cares away.
Woah, dear saviour,
gonna take my cares away.
Gonna take my cares,
gonna carry my cares,
gonna take my care away.
Gonna take my cares,
gonna carry my cares,
gonna take my care away.

Woah, sweet whiskey boy,
c'mon,
gonna take my cares away.
Woah, sweet whiskey boy,
you're gon,
you're gonna take my cares away.
Gonna take my cares,
gonna carry my cares,
gonna take my care away.
Gonna take my cares,
gonna carry my cares,
gonna take my care away.

You're gonna take my bottle, my bible, my mess.
You're gonna take all of my empty and my lonelyness.
Gonna take all of the sadness inside of me,
gonna take it all and set me free.

Woah, black river,
gonna take my cares away.
