Lyrics:
I wish I met you, further along
Gave you my older heart, still and strong
But I wouldn't have a fire like I do today
Oh it burns for you babe

Oh, you got nothing on my tendency to be led astray
Oh, it took a blindside hit to show me the right of way

When your footsteps conquer the streets
From your eyes to the soles of your feet
May my body and heart remain wild
For I'm a wandering child

I could keep an arms length, so I don't fall
I never learned to punch with my back against the wall
Oh no, I gotta let it go

And I got a feeling, deep in my bones
I can't sit still when there's a space up in the road
There's a fire coming on you in your lane
Oh it burns for you babe

Oh, you got nothing on my tendency to be led astray
Oh, it took a blindside hit to show me the right of way

When your footsteps conquer the streets
From your eyes to the soles of your feet
May my body and heart remain wild
For I'm a wandering child

And I hope to god the time ain't wrong
And I hope to god the time ain't wrong
Cause I can't be hanging on like this for long

Wandering Child

Indie trio Wild Rivers (Khalid Yassein, Devan Glover, and Andrew Oliver) have a gift for penning introspective lyrics and genre-fluid melodies that transmit wisdom beyond their years. Their anticipated full-length album, Sidelines—co-produced by Peter Katis (The National, Interpol, Sharon van Etten) and Wild Rivers and recorded in Connecticut, Los Angeles and Khalid and Devan’s college town of Kingston, Ontario (where the two originally met and began making music together)—touches on coming-of-age themes and embracing the unknown.

Sonically, Wild Rivers pull from a spectrum of sounds, imbuing pop, rock, indie, and folk into each song’s blueprint. “We all listen to a wide range of music, from hip-hop to indie rock to pop,” Devan says.  “We like to pull our favorite parts of every genre and patch them together and see what works and see what feels good.”

As they embark on the next chapter of their journey, Wild Rivers, who first caught audiences’ attention with their 2016 self-titled debut, followed by two EPs (2018’s Eighty-Eight and 2020’s Songs To Break Up To), are especially eager to take Sidelines on the road. The live setting is where they originally cultivated a dedicated following and opening for celebrated acts like The Paper Kites, Donovan Woods and Jake Bugg. Building an authentic relationship with fans, while channeling classic singer-songwriters like James Taylor and Fleetwood Mac, has been vital to Wild Rivers’ connection with audiences across the globe.
