The Review
Jamie MacDonald Leaves the Old Life in One Place
“Left It In The River” uses baptism imagery without polishing away the mud.
The song moves at folk pace, which gives the river time to become more than a metaphor. Acoustic space and a slightly rough vocal keep the scene physical.
MacDonald writes the strongest kind of faith lyric: specific enough to picture, open enough to enter.
