By This River Lyrics

Cover art for By This River lyrics by Brian Eno

I love the way Eno entwines space, time and movement to form such surreal abstraction.

'Stuck', 'ever falling', 'through the day', 'waiting here', 'from a distance', 'from another time' and links it with water and air: 'this river', 'the sky' 'an ocean'.

And all of this provides a formless context for reflecting on ourselves 'failing to remember', 'wonder why we came', 'you talk to me', 'with impressions chosen' Fabulous.

Eno ponders apparently purposeless existence with such concise skill.
