Young, Will - Like A River Lyrics

Such a beautiful song !

85% proof is the most experimentallest album he release so far!

It makes me piss myself laughing how ridiculously dramatic he is all the time.

I think it’s insane I can’t buy 85% Proof on iTunes in the US.

He needs to just get on top of me already. This man just gets better with age.

Artistic

Love the track! The story of the video looks like 'Theseus and the minotaur' from Greek mythology. :) Superb !

So underrated

one of the most underrated artists of all time

totally agree

Im going thu a lot right now in my life and this song really found me. I watched the string like a pare of eyes in a dark world guide this person thru a journey to fight agienst this dark entity. I too have been this person, gifted sight just enough in a dark world to be able to fight my demons. Then like in the viedo was forced to stand my ground fight the hardest battle of my life. I have felt my way out of a dark underworld by listing to the inner voices that I believe were god calling me home. And was inspired by this song is touching and eloquite. The Video also is moving and so fitting to the song I'm left in tears. I see so much symbolic meaning in it I was so blown away. It is such a simple sounding yet dynamic song. All I can think is, this song to be played at my funeral one day. So thank you for this gift and wonderful piece of art

Wow!! What a beautiful song, dark! But yea the video and song are incredible....You never disappoint.

This video scares me .|~|.

Will, why'd you have to kill the black guy?

It was nothing to do with him being black. Find out about the story. A coincident only that the big muscular guy used in the video happened to be black.

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

This song is the stand out track of the album, pure quality.

Amazing video too

Such a glorious video. It rarely happens that song and video are perfectly fitting.

Such a massive shame Will Y doesn't break the mould and do the Eurovision for his home country. I love everything he's done, this included, love the visual and the music and is a strong enough artist to break the "Poison Chalice" BBC mentality as he is quoted as saying. Certainly get the talent out to millions of others, rather than wasted on Radio 2 playlists but no single sales. Doubt anyone under 30 would entertain him at present which is shameful. Exactly the format an artist with this insight needs, let Europe hear the UK's best Male vocalist, with a 3 minute stage performance that the BBC will fork out for- Mr William Young for the United Kingdom. An intelligent, competant and imaginative performance on behalf of the UK. Go on Will.....dare you...................(especially with something like "Thank You"..............

+Stocksy72 He wont do it!

in a good way of course

this video is so creepy

i of our best british singers you can heear allhis words as well thankyou ilove wills voice xx

Like a River is a well written track and excellently preformed. This track really grows on you. I love the dark video concept 'Legend Of The Minotaur' this is a very well produced video. Will Young, still creating fantastic music 18 years on since the debut release of his LP 'From Now On'

still listening to this 1 ilove it thankyou xx

I watched Will on The show...... I picked him then as the winner! I'm so very glad and happy he is still doing his thing.
With a tone and sound like he has. I hope he will still be smashing out the tunes in his normal understated way!

Freaky video. Amazing song!

This song and this video are Amazing, like everything that you do. :)

so beautiful thankyou  xx

This song is Amazing, very relaxing and melancholy a bit to. Will please could you do a live session of this song please? Love from France.....X

I'm really impressed,the whole new album is real,maybe it's a little bit sadder than Echoes but it's not defect,Though
I think it's even better?

lookig forward to seeing you next saterday night on the tele will and this is 1of my favs fromyour new album xx

I am a big Will Young fan. So it pains me to say this. Love Revolution is one of Will's best songs and I love the video for it. But the rest of the album is not good. It's as if he could barely get up enough energy to sing the lyrics.  Don't even get me started on this video. His last cd, Echo's was great. Hope and Fears and Keep On are my favorite songs of his. Let's just say I can't wait to get his next album.

@BujoldComa78 Echoes is his best album but 85% Proof is not that far behind. This one is much more diverse in style and must say I like the way Mr Young always pushes for something different - Like A River video is a remarkable, artistic achievement that perfectly accommodates this beautiful,elegiac song.
You obviously prefer his earlier stuff - fair enough.

After reading my post I have to say I did come off a bit harsh. So I do appreciate your reply. I should have said this is not his best work, in my opinion of course.

I have to agree. I think the music is quite good but the lyrics are terribly mediocre. Something's off here and the cd doesn't quite gel. I'm trying to like it but I think as an effort it's forgettable, except for maybe 2 songs.

Definitely not Will's best work, but still has some riveting songs. I can't get enough of I Don't Need A Lover and Like A River while Blue and Joy are below par. I'm pretty much loving the rest. Deserves a bronze medal (silver for Let It Go and Echoes is golden).

Will Young ,you,really inspired me a lot a lot!!!you are the only one who can touch my soul and cure my break heart by these emotional music work!!so deeply!!so greatttt feeling

best song from the album

love the new album

This is pure art... This is why you're the only male artist i follow and truly deeply admire...

Please make this video available in the United States I really want to see it

BY THE WAY IAM SO PLEASED HIS CONCERT TICKETS ARE SELLING WELL GOOD LUCK WILL ON YOUR TOUR XX

WHY ARE THEY NOT PLAYING THIS ON THE TELE ITS ALL SODDING KIDS STUFF ONTHERE THESE DAYS AND THATS NOT FAIR FOR THE OLDER GENERATION THIS IS ALOVLTY SONG ILOVE WILLS VOICE THANKYOUM XX

B/W gay version of living for love ? but weaker song.. No offense, just wondering...

I'd ignored Will's work mostly, dismissing it as manufactured pop that wasn't my thing (though he does come across as a nice guy, so never grudged him success)... But this is one hell of a good song. Haunting, dark and beautiful. Will need to reevaluate my opinion on Will and check out his back catalogue!

@jmckendry84 Yes... this song really blew me away. I was also very doubtful ( Pop Idol winner, in my opinion, is not much of a recommendation). Then I went for it - bought his previous work Echoes and can't stop playing it! Tremendous pop album.  85 % proof has also some trully gripping and addictive sounds, my firm favourite is "I don't need a lover". So yeah, Mr Will Young definitely needs to be explored.

Listen to echoes album it's his best work IMO.

If this is good give me bad...

so many kids stuff on the teie this is so beautiful thanky ou will and good luck when you go on tour xx  from dorothy shelley xx

congratulations that good is back

Love this!

adore will young! ......but am i the only one thinking the opening scene is based on the elephant man? x

+jayjay bee80 I hope so!

Listen, I get music is a subjective form of expression; however, talent is a little less subjective.  Will has one of the best male voices of this century, yet, he's not getting the credit I believe he deserves. I don't get it. I have all of his full music cd's and NOT ONE has disappointed. The voice, composition, lyric, tempo, all of it is unequivocally brilliant. Keep up the great work.

Noland C Ardis you nailed it

Can't stop listening to this

Will your a legend...one phenomenal song and video...welcome back...can't wait for the new album 85% Proof out 25th May.

Madonna-inspired video, G. Michael-esque song, different, substantial, this deserves to be a hit.

Amazing

EXCELLENT, 2 GOOD SONGS AND VIDEOS SO FAR FROM THE ALBUM.

After Love Revolution, I had no hopes for the new album, but THIS is perfect! Bravo for releasing such a wonderful song and video.

Simply stunning! LOVE this so much! So deep, dark and haunting, yet absolutely beautiful!
