Leon bridges take me to your river

This song is about faith. In an interview with UnCut, Bridges reflects that he noticed a lot of soul singers of the '50s and '60s used river metaphors. Bridges heard the tune at one of his local open mics. Leon Bridges explained the background to the song: "A river has historically been used in gospel music as symbolism for change and redemption. My goal was to write a song about my personal spiritual experience. It was written during a time of real depression in my life and I recall sitting in my garage trying to write a song which reflected this struggle. I felt stuck working multiple jobs to support myself and my mother. I had little hope and couldn't see a road out of my reality. The only thing I could cling to in the midst of all that was my faith in God and my only path towards baptism was by way of the river. Been traveling these wide roads for so long My heart's been far from you Ten-thousand miles gone. Oh, I wanna come near and give ya Every part of me But there is blood on my hands And my lips aren't clean. In my darkness I remember Momma's words reoccur to me "Surrender to the good Lord And he'll wipe your slate clean". Take me to your river I wanna go Oh, go on Take me to your river I wanna know.

I go in. Bridges heard the tune at one of his local open mics.
