River - Leon Bridges - MP3 instrumental karaoke

Soul sensation Leon Bridges poured heart and soul into his traffic-stopping 2015 track "River." The gospel-rich song explores faith and employs the river – a deeply spiritual symbol - as a metaphor for change and redemption. "Been traveling these wide roads / For so long / My heart's been far from you / Ten thousand miles gone," sings Leon Bridges in the opening verse, expressing his feelings of unworthiness in the refrain: "Oh, I wanna come near and give / Every part of me / But there's blood on my hands / And my lips are unclean." "River," which was inspired by the traditional African-American spiritual "Down to the River to Pray," is featured on Leon Bridges's 2015 album Coming Home, which reached Number 6 on the US Billboard 200 and was nominated for Best R&B Album at the 2016 Grammy Awards. "River" has also appeared on the soundtrack for various TV shows, including HBO hit Big Little Lies as well as Lucifer, Suits and the 2017 biographical crime drama Crown Heights.
