About She's a River

"She's a River" is the first single released from Scottish rock band Simple Minds' eleventh studio album, Good News from the Next World. Written by band members Charlie Burchill and Jim Kerr, the song was inspired by Herman Hesse's novel Siddhartha, a book about self-discovery. Released in January 1995, "She's a River" became the band's last major hit, charting strongly in many countries. It reached number three in Canada and Italy, number seven in Flemish Belgium and number nine on the UK Singles Chart. It also reached number six on the US Billboard Album Rock Tracks chart. more »
