Released on April 18, 2025, “The River” by Larry Karpenko is a tender, heartfelt single inspired by the Shenandoah River flowing through Virginia’s Massanutten Valley. This song doesn’t just paint a picture—it opens a quiet door into a place of safety, rest, and spiritual longing.
Right from the start, Karpenko sets a peaceful mood with soft piano chords and delicate harp lines. These quiet elements invite listeners to imagine a still river winding through fields and forests. The melody flows naturally, as if it had always existed. His voice carries warmth and weight, almost like a conversation between the soul and something greater. In the chorus, the words “the river that runs through my heart” open a spiritual thread, subtly revealing the song’s deeper meaning.
As the verses progress, Karpenko leans into metaphor, describing the river as “God’s love flowing strong and steady.” This idea gently expands the song’s emotional reach, tying nature, faith, and inner peace together. The second half brings a shift—a quiet lift.
Recorded at Kreation Studios in California, this track shows Karpenko’s care and intention. His blend of pop, folk, and worship traditions forms something quietly powerful. “The River” is more than a song—it’s a journey toward peace. It feels honest, it sounds beautiful, and yes, it works—deeply and meaningfully.
