"Dream River" by Natalie Bouloudis: Where Memories Flow and Time Drowns Time isnāt sand slipping through your fingers. It's more like a riverāa "Dream River", perhapsācarving out canyons, forging paths, and drowning things you thought would always stay afloat. Natalie Bouloudis understands this in her bones, if her latest single is anything to go by. Her voice doesnāt just sing; it commands time itself, bending it in ways that leave you wondering if you've heard something ancient or yet to be born. https://open.spotify.com/track/0YEtkyJqcuujoLdmlAXrQO?si=4b1d3eeb623d469f "Dream River" flows (forgive the obvious connection, but it does) with gothic folk currents, pulling you deep with brooding drums from Hannah Stacey that beat like a soulās propeller, propelling the narrative forward. Luke Waterfield isnāt interested in being "lovely". His strings donāt weep, they wailāpart joy, part anguish, like calling out to something you might not want coming back. Maybe a memory. Lyrically, Bouloudis takes you somewhere uncomfortable, yet familiar. Like walking through an attic full of unfinished diaries or staring at an old clock that always seems like it's five minutes ahead, taunting your lateness. Her words twist, offering poetic punches about love, loss, and the slow march of timeābecause letās face it, no one's running here. [caption id="attachment_57860" align="alignnone" width="1620"]
