THE NEW ALBUM
A writing and recording trip to South America lends a vibrant new sound to Joanna Eden's new album 'THE ROAD TO PAYSANDU' due for release autumn '24.
Eden has always specialised in heart-felt storytelling but her latest line-up lends itself to joyous syncopation; the combination is intoxicating.
Mixed by Grammy winning engineer Rich Breen in Los Angeles and recorded in part at Montevideo's legendary Sondor Studios, this album combines an English soul with a South American heartbeat.
Eden's beautifully crafted compositions ask questions of a life's journey - like her songwriting hero Joni Mitchell.
ON THE RIVER PLATE
The great colony decays, destroys and rebuilds like it always did
In a steady line we dance, like ants with great petals on our backs
We are building a home from which to gaze upon the waves
Of the River Plate
Mother nature has a way to state her case, she makes us listen
Her gentle roots can lift the curb yielding fresh soil for the storm to disturb
And carry it away to freedom upon the waves
Of the River Plate
We're all carrying the load, you carry mine I'll carry yours
Even though we may not know, you carry mine I'll carry yours
We're all carrying the load, you carry mine I'll carry yours
We're all on a muddy road
From deep space we ebb and flow kaleidoscope,
The city breathes against the water
Holding back the greedy dog they let the dunes grow
We're holding on to freedom, as we gaze upon the waves
Of the River Plate
