Mark Westin: See Hear!

• MP3 play whole song, hi-fi (broadband)

This was done as a "Spinal Tap"-ish joke for Kate, the film's director, and she ended up liking it (we think). One day Ronnie James Dio will sing it properly...

So long ago and far away a young boy watched the river flow
He dreamed of riding it one day, to see where it would go
He found a wise man by the shore, he asked him how he could learn more
The wise man looked at him and said

It's wild, fast and deadly
And strength alone will not help you survive
You need Riversense
Stay in the present tense
Find your innocence
And you'll be a bigger mensch

The young boy soon became a man, he grew up strong and tall and proud
And still the mighty river ran and still it called to him so loud
Until he could no more resist and paddled off into the mist
With words of wisdom in his head

It's wild, fast and deadly...

And now the years have come and gone, the young man's hair has turned to white
And still he sings his river song through every day and every night
He learned to paddle, learned to roll, he saw the line, he found the hole
Now he's the wise man on the shore (and he says)

It's wild, fast and deadly...
