A short telling of the gospel reframed as the rescue plan. Primarily for an unchurched audience as a introduction to God's plan to save us. Written in open D tuning.

I wrote this whilst on holiday at Bawdsey in Suffolk (the seagulls were recorded on the beach). I was thinking how the river and the driftwood have no choice where they go and what happens to them. We may think we’re the same but We’re not... It’s in dropped D tuning, the verse hanging on a sort of D chord and the end of the verse running down from C to A chromatically.

I have always loved songs about water - rivers and seas particularly. I've tried to be disciplined enough to hold a single chord in the verse to allow the lyrics to breathe. The song is essentially a bit of philosophy exploring the nature of free will.



I hope you like it.
