about

This year, 2020, will go down for many of us as some of the most challenging times we've had to face in our lives. Through music I heal, we heal, and hopefully find some solace in that we are not rowing this river alone.

The music was written and subsequently recorded at Soultrain Sound Studios in Nashville TN in Spring of 2019. The melody and lyrics did not hit me until the trying times of 2020. Through quarantine, protests, riots, and global change the melody came out and the lyrics followed.
The vocals were then recorded and the song mixed at Drum Farm Studios in Menomonie WI.
Mastered at Private Studio by Jonathan Pines

lyrics

River to Row
Jason Chaffee

VS
I don’t belong walking down the wayside, wasting all of this life, swimming in the riptide
It wont be long until we’re on the flipside looking back on this time realizing old signs

Chorus
Here’s the time to be together, wait the pain and race is long I know
There’s something always wrong, with me

VS
There’s something odd let’s wipe it off the table, it’s not that Im not able, It’s just that I can’t see
This time I swear I’ll prove that I am stable the stigma is a label, That everyone must flee

Bridge
It’s always in the light, don’t know where the day belongs, don’t where the day belongs
Don’t know if they’re right, feels like I don’t belong, It seems like I might
I feel like they’ve all been wrong.. oh. I feel like they’ve all been wrong. Oh…

VS
The feel I know, we’re rowing up a river, there’s nothing I can give her, aside from my beliefs
They’re here to see, inject the fear we shiver, these times they make me bitter
I’m escaping in my dreams
