Rainbow River by Tom Riccioni

After a string of intimate shows across Europe in 2019, Tom Riccioni hiked the Camino Primitivo in the north of Spain as a pilgrim. Along the trail he sang to passersby. Mostly to cows, unicorns and the mountain peaks. This journey changed what it meant to be a songwriter for Tom. Authenticity, now paved the way and in January of 2020 Tom released a self-produced single called “Sunup” which received national airplay “…I want you to sit in the magic of Tom’s music… So much emotion behind his lyrics” ~ Nkechi Anele (Triple J, Roots’N’All)

Tom's new single “Rainbow River” is a step up for the dynamic songwriter. Showcasing his raspy-honey voice, abstract lyrics and his home production prowess. The single artwork is in collaboration with friend and artist Nicole Cociş, and the song is mixed by Tom Harman.
The song is from his upcoming EP “ A Living Home”, recorded in a Park Orchard’s share house during the long Melbourne lockdown. This Storyteller’s vivid narrative will pull you through scenes of your own wildest dreams.

Lyrics

I wanna drink from rainbow river
I wanna howl at the sun
As this keeps arising
I know I’m not the only one
Awoooh

My dear you swam
As I watched from the banks
Living life as a fox
I’ve always been seen not seeing
Awooh

Oh, how do I stay still? 
Oh, how do I
keep on moving?

Without you
Without you

The snaking stream slithered
as the serpent baptised my sense
the trees they hissed
as the rainbow restored our essence
Awwooooh

Oh, how do I stay still? Oh, how do I
keep on moving?

Without you
Without you

howl at the sun
As the moon sends its love
To be alone, in this world
Is no curse
I hunt inside me
as I know, that’s where we glow
you were the one, to love myself
awooh
