Lyrics for Song: Moon River
Lyrics for Album: Other Songs - Victoria Williams
Moon river, wider than a mile
I'm crossing you in style some day
Oh, dream maker, you heart breaker
Wherever you're goin', I'm goin' your way
Two drifters, off to see the world
There's such a lot of world to see
We're after the same rainbow's end, waitin' 'round the bend
My huckleberry friend, moon river, and me
(moon river, wider than a mile)
(I'm crossin' you in style some day)
Oh, dream maker, you heart breaker
Wherever you're goin', I'm goin' your way
Two drifters, off to see the world
There's such a lot of world to see
We're after that same rainbow's end, waitin' 'round the bend
My huckleberry friend, moon river, and

About Moon River
Victoria Williams delivers a timeless rendition of "Moon River," a standard often associated with Audrey Hepburn and the romantic jazz era. While the melody is widely recognized, Williams' interpretation carries a distinct, soulful warmth that recontextualizes the track within her own catalog. Her discography features similar atmospheric ballads, such as "What A Wonderful World" and "Century Plant," which share a melodic structure and emotional depth characteristic of her work. Recorded during the mid-to-late 1990s, Williams' version reflects the smooth, R&B-infused pop style prevalent in her era. Unlike the original's orchestral arrangement, her recording emphasizes vocal texture and intimate production, aligning with the acoustic and live-in-studio approach seen on releases like "This Moment-Live In Toronto." The song stands as a testament to her ability to reinterpret classic material, offering a fresh perspective that honors the source while establishing her own artistic voice in the contemporary music landscape. |
