Robyn Cage - The River

I met Robyn Cage several summers ago, when she was still living in New York City. At one point, the incredibly talented singer/songwriter moved back to Utah, where she’s still at. Robyn made herself a name with her glorious covers, most notably with Metallica’s “Nothing Else Matters.” On Friday though, she released a new original, “The River,” one that showcases her precious gift: fabulous vocals, catchy harmonies and poetic lyrics.

Robyn provides us with a glimpse into her life and explains how “The River” evolved. She says:

After my marriage ended, I went to the desert to write, feel, and begin to heal. I wrote this song sitting by the edge of a river in a red rock canyon, noticing all the layers in the stone carved by the water over millions of years. Love carves and shapes and changes us in beautiful ways, and I felt grateful for my love, even though it ended sadly. This song is meant to capture the poetry and the beauty of heartbreak.

Robyn adds:

“The River” is one of my favorite songs I’ve ever written. It means so much to me, and I hope you feel something when you listen.

I hope Robyn’s other magnificent songs don’t get jealous when I tend to agree? Besides, isn’t it a very good thing when an artist gets better and better the more time goes by? Find out for yourself and listen to “The River,” our Song Pick of the Day:
