Stu Larsen - By the River (Demo)<br>BY THE RIVER was written after spending some time on my own, in a little cottage on the Whanganui River in New Zealand, in perfect solitude. I can’t remember a time where I felt so calm or thought more clearly. No television reception, no phone service, no internet connection, no distractions. I went to sleep when the sun disappeared and I woke up to the hum of nature each morning. It was truly magical and it felt like this was how life should be.<br><br>The accompanying video is full of random footage I’ve collected on my phone and camera over the last few years on the road, from my first solo journey back in 2010 through Japan, Europe and USA, to more recent adventures in New Zealand and Scotland and everywhere in between!
