1781 – Dennis Wilson – River song (1977)



Escrita por Dennis Wilson e Carl Wilson, foi gravada entre 1974 e 1977 e lançada em 22 de agosto de 1977, no disco Pacific Ocean Blue, o primeiro e único disco solo da vida de Dennis Wilson. Sairia também em compacto, com Farewell my friend como Lado B. Foi produzida por Dennis Wilson e Greg Jakobson. O riff de piano, feito por Dennis, representa a correnteza de um rio. Os Beach Boys tentaram gravá-la antes, mas acho que não passou no controle de qualidade de Brian. Dennis Wilson cantou, fez backing vocals, harmonias vocais e tocou piano e sintetizador. Carl Wilson tocou guitarra base e cantou backing vocals e harmonias vocais. Billy Hinsche tocou guitarra base e guitarra solo e fez backing vocals e harmonias vocais. Ed Carter tocou baixo. Ricky Fataar tocou bateria. Ed Tuleja, Alxander Hamilton e Gregg Jakobson fizeram baixos vocais. The Double Rock Baptist Church Voices of Inspiration fizeram coro vocal.


A letra:


Walkin' down by the river
Water running through my knees
(Ahhh)
River, oh river moves so free
(Ahhh)
Oh mighty river endlessly

Oo mighty river
I would love to be like you
Oo lonely river
Has not got the time to say

I was born into the city life
It's all that I've ever known
You know it's rough gettin' round this place
So crowded I can hardly breathe

You can only see about a block or two
In L. A. that's the truth
I'm lookin' for some country life
Some kickin' room no more city life
I want the river

Rollin' rollin' rollin' on river
(I got to get away I got to get away I got to get away)
Rollin' rollin' rollin' on river
(I got to get away I got to get away I got to get away)
Rollin' rollin' rollin' on river
(I got to get away I got to get away I got to get away)
Rollin' rollin' rollin' on river
(I got to get away I got to get away I got to get away)
Rollin' rollin' rollin' on

It breaks my heart to see the city
I wonder why it ain't pretty
Oh I want to cry, want to cry
Come on you've got to do it do it do it

You got to run away you got to run away
You got to do it do it do it
You got to run away
You got to run away

You got to do it do it do it
You got to run away
You got to run away

You got to do it do it do it
You got to run away
You got to run away

You got to do it do it do it
You got to run away
You got to run away
