Music has the ability to sweep us up into new worlds when it flows from our hearts. It can carry us on a journey, break through the darkness and forge lasting connections.

Serena Ryder and William Prince, two of the most unique and powerful voices in music today, share in one of those bonds with “River of Tears”, the second song the two artists have collaborated on in 2022.

“This song connects me to the wisdom of nature and the magnanimous way opinion indeed changes reality,” offers Ryder. “A song I wrote years ago brought into its full potential by William’s perfectly profound pipes.”

In perfect balance, Prince’s baritone is the sturdy riverbed to Ryder’s floating mezzo- soprano, their voices flowing together as naturally as the current, moving us along with them.

Listen to their new collaboration on this week’s Horizon Line playlist, which explores other river-powered folk + indie gems about the feeling of going with the flow and fighting against it.
