    I cried the other night listening to it 😢 

    it’s my second favorite so far right behind Quick Escape. 

    River Cross is my 13 year olds favorite

    This one feels like the 2nd to last song at a show. Everyone singing along (share the light, won’t hold us down), tears streaming, and everyone’s flashlights waving...And then,

    Love this track.  Wasn’t as excited with the commercial clip and the live video from Ohana but love it.

    JUST AMAZING.  Could be a great opener or closer.

    Should have had Neil Young singing backup.

    See this is my least favorite song on the album next to Buckle up but I’ll give it a bunch more spins to see if I can get into it like you guys !!

    I'm digging the entire album, but oh man. this is the one song I skip on the album and can't get into. I'm missing something apparently.

    So you are saying it is a bad closer.  
    I'll ride the wave where it takes me......

    Fuck the end of Retrograde still gets me eh. Amazing. River Cross is a great closer if you get on the same wavelength as its intensity but it's actually hard to get there for me as it's a come down from how good Retrograde is.

    I’ve now fought back tears twice to River Cross. The last minute of Retrograde into it is an amazing finish to an amazing record

    It’s in my bottom tier of songs from the new album, but it guts me every time.  There is something about that I love.  There has not been one time I haven’t cried while listening for some reason.
