Noah Reid Instagram – I wrote Rivers Underground in the year leading up to my wedding. I kept thinking about how easy it would have been for us to have missed each other altogether. I would flashback to the beginning of our relationship, and marvel at how we got here, turning over the notions of inevitability and choice, and how in the present, what feels like a decision can with hindsight feel like destiny.
My hometown of Toronto is built on top of creeks and rivers, water pathways that were inconvenient for the development of a growing city. We’ve buried and diverted them, and most of them don’t exist in their natural form anymore, but underneath us, they continue to wind their way out to wherever they were going in the first place, flowing apart and coming back together in spite of whatever might be in their way.
Love is a choice. And it’s inevitable. I’m grateful every day for the love in my life, and I hope this song allows you some time and space to reflect on the love in yours, however that looks to you. ❤️ | Posted on 01/Apr/2022 21:55:24
