Meaning of The Riverboat Song by Ocean Colour Scene
"The Riverboat Song" by Ocean Colour Scene is a song that delves into themes of deception, dissatisfaction, and the struggle to find true happiness. The lyrics use vivid metaphors and imagery to convey the emotional turmoil experienced by the protagonist.
In the verses, the riverboat symbolizes a pathway or journey in life. The river running red represents a state of turmoil and conflict, while the king's actions of shooting a dove and setting an eagle free represent making choices that seem paradoxical or contradictory. This can be seen as a metaphor for the protagonist's struggle to find balance and make the right decisions in their own life.
The pre-chorus line, "It's more or less the same as the things that you said," suggests a sense of repetition and stagnation in the protagonist's experiences and relationships. They may feel stuck in a cycle of disappointment, not finding the fulfillment they seek.
The chorus poses questions about the river's color and lack of flow, using it as a metaphor for the protagonist's confusion and longing. It reflects their desire for change, resolution, and understanding. The repetition of these questions emphasizes the frustration and inner turmoil they feel.
In the third verse, the lyrics again touch on the protagonist's struggle to express themselves fully. The phrase "the things you fail to say" suggests a fear of revealing their true thoughts and emotions, which further contributes to their troubles and dissatisfaction.
Overall, "The Riverboat Song" explores the inner struggles we face in navigating relationships, making choices, and seeking fulfillment. It urges listeners to question and reflect upon the choices they make in their own lives and the impact these choices have on their overall happiness.

28 songs in unusual time signatures.
The time signature for almost all pop/rock songs is 4/4 but there are some interesting unusual time signatures used in great songs. As a songwriter I tend to write in 4/4 just because it works in my head, but The Magnificent Companeros drummer – the mighty Sil Molnar – just loves an usual time signature (let alone fellow bandmates Tim Newsom and Will Berryman), so I’ve been doing some research into other songs to try and find some inspiration to do my own. I’m nowhere near nailing it, but given I’ve done a bit of research I thought I’d share what I’ve found – and as always, if there are any others you know of please don’t hesitate to put them in the comments!

Great article and selection.
I wouldn’t say a 12/8 is an odd time signature, its a double 6/8 and quite uplifting, I probably wouldn’t include Misunderstanding here…
Other than that, great list!
