Gutsy Riiver Brukes adds another hit to her expanding repertoire of hooky songs. Following on from the success of her debut album, ‘Reformed Soul’, comes the first of some fabulous, soul infused rock as she releases her latest single, ‘Blue Monday’.
“No one is infallible, including those who do us wrong. We cannot force someone to love us more or less – and there is no sincerity in staying ‘just because…’. You will only waste more of your precious time – and theirs. Respect and love is a two way street. If you are going nowhere down a one way street, then perhaps it’s time to try a different route…
Almost all of my songs touch on inner strength, personal value and character in some way. It’s the essence of who we are and how we deal with situations. I tend to think of each song as a short story, a snapshot, an experience. But also a reminder of the importance of caring for each other, in a World that can oftentimes seem too fast, cruel and lacking in empathy.
Life is short and uniquely personal and it is important that we live it in a way that brings us genuine happiness. None of us know what is in store, so don’t put up with nonsense, get on with living and use your time doing whatever means the most to you and those you love.” explains Riiver Brukes.
