宣可音樂管道

 老孔原本希望在10月的表演裡能唱這首歌，但後來決定留到以後再說。

Tommy Shaw 在 STYX 時期，宣可最喜歡前5名歌曲。有"Haven’t We Been Here Before?", “Too Much Time on My Hands", 還有這次要介紹的"Boat on the River", 以及以後打算介紹的" Fooling Yourself" 和 “Crystal Ball"。

Boat on the River 在 STYX 1979年專輯 Cornerstone 當中，是首風格獨特的歌曲。Tommy Shaw 彈著曼陀林琴，Dennis De Young彈著手風琴，唱著懷舊鄉愁的感覺。宣可印象中這是Styx絕無僅有的一首小調歌曲。

Boat on the River 

Lead vocals and mandolin: Tommy Shaw, accordion and backing vocals: Dennis DeYoung,  string bass: Chuck Panozzo , bass drum and tambourine: John Panozzo  , acoustic guitar: James Young

Take me back to my boat on the river
I need to go down, need to come down
Take me back to my boat on the river
And I won’t cry out any more
Time stands still as I gaze in her waters
She eases me down, touching me gently
With the waters that flow past my boat on the river
So I don’t cry out anymore

Oh the river is wide
the river it touches my life like the waves on the sand
all roads lead to Tranquillity Base
Where the frown on my face disappears
Take me down to my boat on the river
and I won’t cry out anymore

Oh the river is deep
the river it touches my life by the waves on the sand
all roads lead to Tranquillity Base
Where the frown on my face disappears
Take me down to my boat on the river
I need to go down, with you let me go down
Take me back to my boat on the river
And I won’t cry out anymore
I won’t cry out anymore
I won’t cry out anymore
