About this track
Some people run from the past.
Others run toward something.
But this man ? He runs because he can’t stop.
Run Like the River captures the moment when motion becomes identity when the road isn’t just escape, it’s the only place that makes sense.
With its swampy groove and pulsing undertow, the track flows like instinct: urgent, steady, and just a little dangerous.

Creative Process
This song emerged from a single image: a man driving through the night with no one left to prove anything to, not even himself.
Each verse was shaped to reflect that fluid contradiction between peace and restlessness.
It’s a track about surrendering not to fate, but to momentum.
The writing followed that rhythm : stripped down, forward-driving, unresolved.

Creative Tools
This song is Made with AI : generated through creative audio tools for both voice and music.
But everything that defines its identity, the lyrics, the tone, the emotional curve, was built by Unfolded Sounds.
It’s a song driven by intention, not automation.

Lyrics :
Dust on my boots and FIRE in the sky
I hear the train moan, like a LONG goodbye
The wind whispers SECRETS in the cypress trees
A bottle in my hand, and NO ONE but me


RUN like the RIVER, don't look back
HEART like thunder on a one-way track
I'm chasing "something" I can't name
But I was BORN for the pouring rain


Smoke on the porch, sun burning LOW
Dog barking wild like he KNOWS where I go
Letters I never sent, words I never said
I keep 'em buried DEEP with the things I DREAD


RUN like the RIVER, don't slow down
Keep that engine ROLLIN’ outta town
I’m not afraid of the PAIN or the flame
But I can’t stand the weight of the SHAME


If LOVE is a ghost, then I sleep with one
Every night until the BREAK of dawn
A kiss I remember, a fight I regret
"Wild desires" I can’t FORGET


RUN like the RIVER, wild and free
LEAVE the chains, come run with ME
Where the swamp sings and the shadows bend
That’s where all my ROADS must END
 
Titre : Backroads and Bones - Backroad Ember Revival
Errance rugueuse. Il se perd. Il devient la route. Il ne sait plus pourquoi il roule.
Paroles :
[Intro – Guitar lick with gritty slide, slow kickdrum beat]

[Verse 1]
Gravel in my soul, and MUD on my hands
I never fit right in these "promised lands"
Moonlight's a knife, cuttin’ through the pines
I drive these backroads, drawin’ crooked lines

[Chorus – Strong and bold]
BACKROADS and BONES, that’s all I got
WHISKEY in my blood, and the engine’s hot
Memories burnin’ like a slow, blue flame
But the road don’t CARE about your name

[Verse 2 – Bit more melody, warmer imagery]
Her voice still lingers in the static hum
She said, “Don’t you break what you can’t outrun”
I LAUGHED like a fool, said I’d be fine
But her ghost is riding this white line

[Chorus – Repeat, more soul]
BACKROADS and BONES, that’s all I trust
RUST on the frame, and LOVE turned to dust
The wind don’t whisper, it howls and moans
A man grows OLD on backroads and bones

[Bridge – Haunting tone, softer delivery]
The storm is coming, I smell the rain
Every mile I take, I lose a chain
If freedom costs what the devil loans
Then I’ll PAY in backroads and bones

[Outro – Fade with swampy guitar solo]
BACKROADS and BONES, I won’t go slow
Drive till there’s nothing left to know
No cross to bear, no sacred stones
Just me, my fate... and backroads and bones
