Laurel Hart - The River’s Line
The River's Line, the latest offering from folk songstress Laurel Hart, emerges as a haunting meditation on solitude and sanctuary. Drawing clear inspiration from Joni Mitchell's confessional style, Hart crafts an intimate narrative that unfolds on the gentle current of a nameless river.
The verses drift like leaves on the surface, while the chorus anchors the piece with its powerful refrain about finding safety "on the river's line."
While the influences of the 1970s folk revival are evident, Hart brings a contemporary sensibility to the genre, creating something that feels both timeless and immediate.
»The River’s Line« is the title of a song and a chapter in the upcoming novel, »The Girl and the Duck Detective and the Fall of the Squirrel Prince« by Christian Heinke.
