Pat Garrett & Billy the Kid · 1973

River Theme

An instrumental from the "Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid" soundtrack, featuring wordless voices over a slow, flowing accompaniment.

The words

Wordless singing floats over a slow, gentle melody that moves like water drifting past.

Like most of the soundtrack, it has no lyrics; voices hum and sing syllables rather than words. The music moves calmly and evenly, with a sense of drift and stillness that suits its title. Its mood is peaceful but faintly sad, a pause by the water in a story that is heading toward violence. It is a short, atmospheric piece meant to sit under a scene rather than stand alone.
