“Hanoi River Carol” is part of my album Joy & Truth – The 24 Days of Christmas, releasing worldwide in two days.
This album tells 24 real stories — about people, places, and the meaning of truth and light in everyday life.
With this track, I wanted to capture the calm and warmth of Hanoi — the river shimmering at night, the voices in the streets, life between temples, lights, and mist.
I wrote it as a roots-reggae track because that rhythm feels like the language of the soul — deep, calm, and honest.
“Hanoi River Carol” is a song about balance — between light and shadow, tradition and change, humanity and nature.
🎧 Genre: Roots Reggae / World / Spiritual

Hanoi River Carol

Widowmaker by Suicide

Most people consider life a battle,
But it is not a battle,
It is a game.
 It is a game,
however, which cannot be played successfully
Without the knowledge of spiritual law

Game, Law; Game, Law
Game, Law; Game, Law

The old and the New Testaments
Give the rules of the game
With wonderful clrearness

What you gives, you will receive

Jesus Christ taught that
It was a great game of
Giving and Receiving

Whatsoever a man soweth
That shall he also reap

Soweth... reap...
Soweth... reap...

This means that whatever man
Sends out in word or
Deed, will return to him

What he gives, he will receive

If he gives hate
He will receive hate
If he gives love
He will receive love
If he gives criticism
He will receive criticism
If he lies
He will be lied to
If he cheats
He will be cheated

Give and receive
Sow and reap
Circle complete
Circle complete

We are thought also
That the imaging faculty plays
A leading part in the
Game of life.

This means that what man images
Sooner or later externalises
in his affairs

To play successfully
the game of life
We must train the imaging faculty

A person with an imaging faculty
Trained to image only good
Brings into his life
Every righteous desire of his heart

Health, wealth, love, friends
Perfect self expression
His highest ideals.

Game, Law
Sow and reap
Give and receive
Image the good
And it shall be
Game of Life
Sets spirit free

The Game

We walked tonight to the Guggenheim Museum
Her hair was blowing like it found its freedom
The city shimmered a restless backdrop
We talked of dreams we had and dreams we’d lost

She touched the glass where the paintings hung
Said, “Look how they capture the light, so young”
I saw a reflection that I couldn’t hold
A moment gone as the wind turned cold

Caught in the glow of a fleeting view
City lights blurred like dreams we outgrew
We’re drifting through moments we can’t reclaim
Like strangers with stories no need for names

Through the spiral halls we drifted slow
Each step we took felt like letting go
She whispered stories I’d never known
Of places she'd seen and the nights alone

Outside the doors the world was wide
Yellow cabs and the Hudson tide
She laughed like a child at the rush of it all
I watched her dance through the city's sprawl

She talked of staying of leaving too
The streets below us were painted blue
With echoes of footsteps and songs unsung
In that fleeting light we were both still young

Caught in the glow of a fleeting view
City lights blurred like dreams we outgrew
We’re drifting through moments we can’t reclaim
Like strangers with stories no need for names

I dedicate this composition to everyone who’s lost their course in life for a moment.
A riptide is a narrow channel in a sandbank where the water rushes strongly out to sea.
And to get out of it you have to do something that feels very unnatural: first let yourself be carried along, and only then swim left or right, back to calmer water and the shore. I think that’s a beautiful image for how we can sometimes deal with life.
