Harlem River

I found this really cool guitar piece in a song by Kevin Morby. I kinda know what he means. The Kantian Block limits reason to the phenomenal world. Thought fails to cross the block because it is finite. Theism fails to cross the phenomenal/noumenal divide because it is not literally true. Personal acts of creativity in the arts also fail because of their purely abstract idealist origin lacking universal significance, and yet an authentic effort toward transcendence is transforming.



Harlem River


Harlem River, talk to me
Tell me what you think about
Harlem River I'm in love, love, love, love

Harlem River talk to me
Where we heading now?
Harlem River I'm in love, love, love, love

All because of you
In my pearl and my diamond shoes
I've climbed the cloud that will store the moon
On the river
All because of you

Harlem River swallow me
Put your hands around my neck
Harlem River, I can't breath
You've got the lights down now

And Harlem River, give me wings
Put my head up in the clouds
And Harlem River all because
Oh, I know where now

Harlem River, tell me, is it true?
That in my pearl and my diamonds
I've climbed the cloud, now I store the moon
Harlem River, all because of you

I don't know I don't know
Just where I'm going
Cause I've never been
And I don't know
Just where I'm going
Or where I've been
Oh, Harlem River, like a diamond

And ride on that easy rider
Flow like that Harlem River
Ride on that easy rider
Flow like that Harlem River

I ride for you
I ride for you
