River Hills
Liner notes
A lush chamber pop song with elegant vocals about the quiet, hidden estates of River Hills, Wisconsin. The lyrics wander down the winding, sidewalk-free stretches of Range Line Road, where dense woods conceal sprawling stone mansions and wrought-iron gates. The song captures the serene, private atmosphere of the Milwaukee River flowing past the manicured lawns of the Milwaukee Country Club and the silent, towering art of the Lynden Sculpture Garden.
