https://youtube/watch?v=T831PuEsS84 *SPOTLIGHT* Stay away from the dark river/ Its cold outside tonight/ And his name feels like a shiver down my spine. Okay, everyone, the next track on The Great Escape is King of Whitewater, and it happens to be my favorite on the album. However, it also the strangest lyrically. Yes, this song is based on Swedish folklore. In their stories, there is a being call a neck, nicor, or nixie that basically is a water spirit that can appear as a man playing a violin in the rivers and woods. What he does, then, is play his violin to lure people to his beautiful song, and then he drowns them in the river. Yes, that is what this song is about, and, yes, thats a really strange topic. Yet, I cant help but think about this songs inclusion. In a way, this spirit is helping people escape this life. They are dying with beautiful music in their ears. Also, his entire existence revolves are luring others. Theres a tangent here somewhere about fate and being. Ill think of it ;).
