Parkway Drive - The River [Lyrics] [HD]

[@murthfilm]

Not once in my life did I think I would relate or truly understand these lyrics. With my brother killing himself I feel everything, it hurts, but I keep pushing for him.

[@NathanSalapokni]

He pounded me in the ass

[@Madderhatter85]

Bro, this is the exact reason this song resonates with me so hard. It's heavy shit to carry.

[@dznutz010]

🙏

[@JCASTadventures]

May he rest in peace

[@plaig]

I hope you’re doing ok and still pushing.

[@GPSci]

This song is criminally underrated.

[@tyuiop123123]

It's magical how this song is able to be so calm and beautiful while being so rough at the same time.

[@braydencrawford2232]

im in awe how parkway drive did that :)

[@dulguunbrown2829]

soft metal to soothe your soul. They are one of a kind. There is no genre. Just the feel of the band

[@trentonmoonias851]

It's not the years in your life, it's the life in your years. Parkway Drive NEVER disappoints. agree?

[@westcoastbrotha]

Agree 100%

[@MrShort23]

Agreed... One of my favorites always will be.

[@jacobpowers7176]

Abraham Lincoln

[@horstschlemmer3778]

Trenton Moonias i love this part. want to have a Tattoo of this.

[@MrGreggamacd123]

Literally my life mantra

[@notnatural6347]

This song never fails to make me cry, two years ago this February i lost my aunt and uncle (age 26 and 29) in an accident caused by a drunk driver. The phrase "its not the years in your life, but the life in your years" is truly beautiful. Please always have a designated driver and drive safe guys, you never know if your fun night out with friends will rob someone else of something irreplaceable.

[@dannylange2531]

NotNatural that phrase is actually by Abraham Lincoln

[@GBrai-mu5zy]

thank you for sharing that.seriously....most of their songs can bring tears to my eyes

[@luisfernando-ph6li]

Español por favor

[@tristanrichardson111]

sorry to hear about ur aunt and uncle

[@notnatural6347]

@N-Word Salesman actually shocked people are still seeing this comment. Thank you.

[@williamjohnston2332]

It's not the years in your life, it's the life in your years - very powerful

[@systrex]

Best Lincoln quote.

[@jamesyaeger9528]

Not really tbh

[@Patrick-wz1mw]

Hab die Band und das Lied heute entdeckt und bin extrem beeindruckt. Was für ein geiler Song. ❤

[@beatex99]

This song reminds me of my mom... I hope someday, I will see you and hug you! I love you mom.. You are in a better place than this hell.

[@naveedalikhan108]

Sorry about your mom bro

[@aScaryDragon]

+BeatexGaming Sorry to hear about your mom, brother.

[@GermanCubeTV]

+BeatexGaming i wish u just the best and hope u are getting better. stay strong!

[@corbvn373]

sorry about your mom, but if this reminds you of her she was a complete badass!

[@jolyonn5619]

sorry bro

[@Bloowkane]

i lost my sister 3 years ago, she drowned in a river. this song helped me heal so much...this band has helped me so much in general. eternally grateful for the bit of life they eased back into me, beautiful band, beautiful song.

[@solari70]

Holy shit bro,so sorry to hear that...

[@wintershock]

I know you made this comment 6 years ago but I hope you’re alright.

[@gmjunky87]

Just found out that and old friend of mine passed away by his own hand. This song is helping me out at the moment. John, hope you are looking over all of us. Your suffering is over. I'll see you again someday and we'll have a beer and reminisce of the better times.

[@creego6055]

Sorry to hear that Bro. Onward to the endless fight!

[@taylormansell4071]

+gmjunky87 hope everything is going okay for you mate, stay strong :)

[@gmjunky87]

Thanks guys.

[@aScaryDragon]

+gmjunky87 Stay strong man. Don't give up.

[@deadfire7088]

+gmjunky87 I know I'm late but I'm sorry for your loss

[@RavenBearGaming]

THAT GUITAR RIFF AT THE BEGINNING THO.

[@jenniferguerrero6492]

I KNOWWWW

[@kireek122]

So sick

[@mavericksdcuo2409]

Yasmin Lewis they have loads of songs with amazing riffs like anasassis idols and anchors

[@christinaa8531]

+Yasmin Lewis it's OMFGFUSUFAOFARVANROEFNWEAFC BEAUTIFUL

[@DaltonBennettGamingAndVlogging]

+christina bvb the hell does that even stand for??

[@anoceanbetweenus89]

My godfather disappeared on valentines day 2012. Weeks later they found his body in the St. Croix River in St. Paul, MN. It was believed he committed suicide. Everytime I hear this song it just breaks my heart but at the same time I find peace. It's one of the most beautiful fucking songs I have ever heard.

[@jeremymolonlabe5577]

So glad I found Parkway drive...this band was missing from my life long ago. Love this song

[@jodyjohnstein]

Not even gonna lie when I finally learned how to play the intro to this song a single tear rolled off my eye. This one's deep Viva the underdog

[@macewhite7340]

This is on of the best heavy songs ever writen. Holy shit. So good.

[@anoceanbetweenus89]

It's about a person that commits suicide by walking into the river and filling their pockets with stone. The river is essentially a metaphor for death. The person no longer wanted to live a life of pain. The river (death) was speaking to the person and they eventually committed the act of suicide by the means explained above. It''s one of the most beautifully written songs I have ever heard in my fucking life.

[@EternalxFrost]

Actually, it's not about someone who commits suicide. It's about one of their closest friends that went is Bosnia to jump off a bridge as an extreme sport and died. So it's not really a suicide, it's more about an accident.

[@anoceanbetweenus89]

You are very right sir, I totally forgot about that. I did hear that the story in the song actually refers to the suicide of Virginia Woolf a British author and feminist who committed suicide in the exact manner the song explains but i think the underlying meaning of this song is about their friend.

[@kselogcob666]

Danny Bosty If she was a feminist then this song is a happy song.

[@steffer234]

Daniel Bishop What's your problem with women..?

[@steffer234]

Seems fair :)

[@sk8erboy551]

Brilliant band, not many will ever come to reach such greatness

[@iamme3329]

My 2 year old nephew drowned 7 years ago. This is my sisters release when she just needs to have a good cry. It's a reminder how beautiful both life and death are. And my nephews passing made me ok with my own. I'm not sure what inspired this song, but it feels as if they also understand loss. This song is burned into my whole family's hearts.

[@chibichiiiii]

I'm sorry for your loss

[@bdgsnap6976]

Their friend drowned Bridge jumping. They never found the body.

[@jessehogan9506]

yes they did @@bdgsnap6976

[@Irithyllian]

This song, before I knew the story behind it, just listening to the lyrics and emotion, It gave me chills multiple times, what a beautiful song too.

[@TheSnazzyAdventures]

Yeah, just learned the story behind it

[@TheSnazzyAdventures]

nah Dylan Cane Etherington, one of their mates

[@TheSnazzyAdventures]

Drowned in a river when they were overseas

[@drivenlight7462]

This song is so beautiful.

[@Isabella-lg5xb]

Driven Light You couldn't be more right.

[@arjen4994]

This is the greatest song ever. Thank you!

[@Just-Justin314]

This song always hits my heart in the right places

[@Sprucele]

Parkway is one of the most underrated bands!!!

[@jlauck6]

That first chord, and this whole song cuts deep. Love this band.

[@CamsProtocol]

Just discovered this band and I'm in love !

[@westcoastbrotha]

Better late than never, but they've BEEN making amazing music. Check out their other albums.

[@marioj23]

I wish more people would open their ears to music like this. It is beautifully written. The comments here made me read about Virginia Woolf and the best friend in Bosnia. When I read about Virginia Woolf and her suicide note while listening to this song, it honestly made me tear up. I never felt that from a song before!

[@leahburch3389]

This song makes me want to cry and so happy at the same time. I will always love it.

[@shantofistie4281]

The fact that people I knew and loved could be dead for years and id only find out now is probably my hardest step in acceptance

[@AlexRodriguez-bk7nb]

Definitely the most meaningful song to me from this band. Once we were young, and this there are a bunch of memories :(

[@JoshmCkick]

Was just blaring this in my car on the country road with a nice joint great vibes

[@misero6130]

Wish my friends had my taste of music... And weed.

[@Molzhon93]

Hope you learned to not blaze and drive you fucking goober

[@memoire-30jm09]

I swear songs like this and All New Materials by Periphery are such timeless tracks for me. 🔥

[@adamosborn4565]

Definitely hear the resemblance! Both class songs

[@BobbyG83]

All the anger in my heart and mind subsides, i finally find peace in this music and think about the ones I love so much. Thank you for this.

[@aceevans211]

Fantastic lyrics, deep, best concert I've ever been to.

[@ruffneck376]

bleeds the soul. vents the emotions. well done sirs well done🤘

[@abfreimanis]

Not just my favorite Parkway Drive song, but my favorite song in general. This one can get me pumped up and can relax me at the same time. Melodic, heavy, structured, art

[@davidboros6546]

This song brang me to tears and made me smile with the bittersweet thoughts of what I've lost through the long years of my life. So many emotions, in just one song...

[@jessebettens7121]

When I die, someone please make sure this is the song that plays at my funeral.

[@westcoastbrotha]

Bro. I'm right there with ya man.

[@davidboros6546]

I'm with you too.

[@BobbyG83]

And mine, good choice sir.

[@artyom6167]

Jesse Bettens Agree

[@breezemckay1505]

Jesse Bettens Same.

[@DanKop2]

How strange that such calming music can be combined with metal. Another displaying of how music is still interchangeable.

[@MirandaW006]

a 2 yr old went missing while his family was camping back in July and they still haven't found him. they searched the lake but never saw him. this song makes me think about it. sad stuff.

[@adamzitsch9027]

Parkway Drive has made so many great songs , i been to 2 of there concerts there fun to go see , and they sound just like this live

[@bamashine8822]

Please come back Parkway…

[@xollop306]

I miss their old sound so much

[@jokumuu4782]

This song is so awesome, that... I don´t find words to describe this one. By far one of the best Parkway Drive song they have ever made, and sadly I´m afraid, that it´s the best song they are going to make. But luckily we all have The River and no one can take it away from us

[@ExoticFireGirl]

This song speaks to me in so many ways. I almost teared up.

[@Guru4theConfused]

Damn... this song & "Home Is For The Heartless" get me choked up every time between losing my grandmother, depression and anxiety issues that required a hospital stay to keep me from committing suicide, and a strained at best relationship with my family... oddly enough, this music keeps me going.

[@Ancapdalek]

why is it that every single time I hear this damn song I can't even stop listening to it it's such a beautiful song to listen to and for what it is it's pretty much fucking amazing this has got to be the most beautiful and the most powerful song Done by Parkway Drive pretty much in their whole career

[@francoisvanzyl3429]

blue and the grrey

[@sobasically100]

This song is my everything. Been listening to these guys for 5 years now... I love them.

[@outcastproductions2619]

this album and band need more goddamn credit like... god-DAMN THE FEELS

[@CoopALoop025]

Pop, when you passed. This is all I could hear. All I could see. All I can taste. I adore you old man.

[@connorsojourner-henson8474]

One of the greatest songs ever...

[@DDunc1020]

yes indeed

[@felipe86582]

I remember the show I went to 4 years ago... and the parkway drive makes you feel at the beach / sea like no other band

[@Therockstarkid]

This is honestly probably the best Parkway drive song there is. Metalheads, you know, and if you know, you know.

[@ohnoitsu1]

'What the river took, we could never replace And as the pain set in so did the realisation You were never coming home' Despite the beauty of this song and what it means; don't ever forget your suicide would shatter those around you. Despite your insecurities, you are loved. YOU ARE FUCKING LOVED.

[@HellhoundIX]

This is a damn masterpiece.

[@leninadine7899]

Ich liebe und vermisse dich PAPA. ❤

[@ryansantana3265]

Parkway took every genre of metal, and just dominated them lyrically. Like, parkway just instills this hope in my heart that everything is gonna be okay.

[@yuusnownight9317]

Just to chill the soul out off my body, this is a masterpiece

[@caseycharle321]

Killing with a smile and Horizons vibes all over this track. I can’t get enough 😩🤌🏽

[@justinbrown1144]

this is what perfection sounds like

[@Nick55ADTR]

listening to this nonstop for the last few days its just to great

[@PEELEDLIKEAPIG]

That intro gives me goose bumps every time!

[@chriscaldwell5986]

True beauty. I will always love this song. Parkway saved my life. I wanted to die...i wanted to die more then anything. This song almost killed me but then it saved me.

[@talon3735]

Pure genius through and through. Beautiful.

[@neilrhode5968]

[@aaronmills4238]

[@muddyfalcon]

This song is dope to the spirit and soul. I heard a piano cover that blew my mind.

[@davidbeard77]

Been enjoying this song since the album came out and never knew what the lyrics were til I looked them up here. Wow, parkway drive never dissapoints.

[@jackwitty255]

That fucking verse riff crunches my life into good times

[@Velycoptryx]

Man, Parkway Drive is such a diverse band. It's one of the reasons why they are, together with August Burns Red, on top of my list of favourite bands. I personally think this is one of their best songs. -> --4:23-- - --5:28--

[@JrMtz-hu7ls]

2024 still banging

[@nolanalbright8799]

The beginning calms me so much and the rest makes me wanna head bang 🤘🏻
