This is one of my favorites off the new album. This song, along with "Monsoons", has a strong Fate theme. The Verde River is in Arizona, near Flagstaff. Coincidentally, that's where Maynard's vineyard is located. In order for him to have a successful harvest, he must depend on outside forces. In this case, one of those outside forces is the Verde River. This song is a resolution to trust and hope and to not "fight the flow" of powerful forces (specifically, the Earth).
