At the River

The vocals are a sample from a late-50s pop song called "Old Cape Cod" (nothing to do with a river!) recorded by multi-track legend Patti Page - she was one of the first artists to record all her own backing vocals. The first two verses go:

If you’re fond of sand dunes and salty air, Quaint little villages here and there, You’re sure to fall in love with Old Cape Cod.

If you like the taste of a lobster stew, Served by a window with an ocean view, You’re sure to fall in love with Old Cape Cod.

So now you know. Mmmm. Lobster stew...

The guys and me used to go out the pub at lunch on college days and stay there... lazy afternoons, drinking, sometimes not going back to college after all...

This song used to play at said pub, and... well, it makes me happy thinking of those good times, particularly as we've all drifted apart now.

Isn't it "salty air"? That would make it rhyme... and more sense.

Great song.

Such a chilly, vibe-out song.

I love it!

Yip, tis deffnitly salty air. I had a salty day once. Never again. Its nothing to chill out to like this ace song.

i love the trumpets in this song. and the fact that its so short and leaves you guessing the next lyric is amazing. its an incomplete sentence, almost suggesting to your imagination to run with it and think of everything that is possible at the river.

Great song makes me happy

yes...the lyrics are DEF wrong.....it's salty air. Great song tho....really chill. I live in upstate NY. Kinda reminds me of the 1000 Islands area. Even tho it's not salt water...still a great place to relax
