	Story Behind the Song A campfire song about death and afterlife. The idea just came to me, I scribbled down some lyrics, and a long time later found a guitar riff to put it all together. Kind of sums up my feeling about the seemingly random nature of life, and how little we can really control it. it's not meant to be religious, but it sounds like it. music, lyrics: Scott Scott: acoustic guitar, electric guitar, drum program, lead vocals Charlie: electric guitar, bass, background vocals Bill: tambourine, background vocals Janet Flynn: background vocals Lyrics its a silent river and we are all canoes heading for the waterfall in death-defying lunges averting sudden plunges beneath the mirrored surface that we glide upon like animated sponges and the cleverest of phrases are only toothpick paddles against the timeless current of the downstream flow and as hard as we might row we can barely make a ripple in our final course to the undertow but we can watch the scenery as we skim the shore and we can loll in tidepools for days or more and we can breathe the breeze that urges us on and we can have a good laugh at who the joke is on (cuz thats us all) oh we look for logic and we scent for sense we read for reason and we argue the difference we miss the meanings as we clutch at clues but when we finally face the fatal were going to get the good news
