Riley
Pearce seamlessly shifts through intensities during “Keep Moving.” The song
begins with a gentle hook from an acoustic guitar. Vocals and resonant drums soon
join. But the energy transition occurs 57 seconds into “Keep Moving,” when choir
backing vocals enter. Later in the single, Pearce’s voice is temporarily supported
by a quiet almost unchanging intonation.
“Keep
Moving” was inspired by a running obsession that Riley Pearce experienced in
Melbourne. He says:
“The
exertion of energy was therapeutic, such a great way to get back into nature. I
was playing around with drone-like sounds for the verses and got something
rhythmically happening. Tapping into this song was a moment of absolute
release: I wanted that moment where you're at the top of the hill, looking
down."
Pearce
is from Perth, Australia. “Keep Moving” will be on his debut full-length album,
“The Water & The Rough,” set for release June 10, 2022.

Lyrics of “Keep Moving” by Riley Pearce
When I’m out there
I hear it calling
Pulling me forwards
Towards it
What am I hoping to see
A man that I’m hoping to be
Breathe in
Breathe out
If I don’t catch it now
I might not get another chance
Do what you can
Just to keep moving
You gotta
Do what you can
Just to keep moving
Move on find a rhythm to return to
A heartbeat you can burn through
That won’t desert you
The light as it passes the bend
The freedom that calls up ahead
Breathe In
Breathe out
If I don’t catch it now
I might not get another chance
Do what you can
Just to keep moving
You gotta
Do what you can
Just to keep moving
When I’m gone I hope I leave behind
Places still to find
To the earth I hand you my dreams
For those to follow after me
And to you I leave my sights
And all the wonder it’s seen
For you to call upon
Anytime you need
Breathe in
Breathe out
If I don’t catch it now
I might not get another chance
Do what you can
Just to keep moving
You gotta
Do what you can
Just to keep moving
When I’m out there
I hear it calling
Pulling me forwards
Towards it
A man that I’m hoping to be
Breathe in
Breathe out
I might not get another chance
Just to keep moving
You gotta
Do what you can
Just to keep moving
A heartbeat you can burn through
That won’t desert you
The freedom that calls up ahead
Breathe In
Breathe out
I might not get another chance
Just to keep moving
You gotta
Do what you can
Just to keep moving
Places still to find
To the earth I hand you my dreams
For those to follow after me
And to you I leave my sights
And all the wonder it’s seen
For you to call upon
Anytime you need
Breathe in
Breathe out
I might not get another chance
Just to keep moving
You gotta
Do what you can
Just to keep moving
