Most songs have general meaning to the song that can be established, yet people still have a personal meaning for a song. The song River Flows In You does not have any lyrics, bur that doesn’t mean it doesn’t have a message for its listeners.  The difference between a song with lyrics and a song like the River Flows In You is that the interpretation of a non lyric song  is completely based on the emotions and thoughts that someone has. I interpreted the River Flows In You around the concept that the river represented everyone’s innately good nature as it flows in everyone.  However, there are other interpretations like blogger Eduardo Bedural Jr.  who interpreted the song as “you equate this simple journey with your life’s achievements and what’s-not. Thinking that this simple journey is like your life compressed. You recognize your blessings and count them one by one.” Eduardo Bedural Jr’s. interpretation of River Flows In You is based around the idea that the song is a story of life that each individual must take in order to realize its beauty and their place within it.
