I think that it is a crime how River isn't recognised for his musical talents in the same way that he is for his acting. Music was his real passion and his music shows that. It just saddens me to think of how much more he could of achieved in both music and acting if he hadn't passed away at such a young age.

well his music is mediocre and his singing voice is weak. it’s why Island Records passed on his band. His acting is much stronger. Just because you are passionate about something doesn’t mean you are exceptional at it.

I have a tattoo for him on my arm. It says "River, oh River..." With the angelic symbol for 'grace'. I also have a giant poster of him next to my bed with a poem printed on it. It's worn out now and needs to be replaced but he is my safe place. The most beautiful boy to ever walk this earth. And I'm not talking about his breathtaking face. You are immortal River. Rest in peace, we'll be here running for the rescue of those who need us. For you. In your name. I swear you're not forgotten.

I’m not even a country music fan, but this is amazing. You are greatly missed River 💔

It sure is! 💗

A lot of incredibly talented actors/musicians have died in my lifetime. Michael Jackson, Prince, Heath Ledger, Paul Walker, Whitney Houston, Robin Williams to name a few. I love all of them, but if I could bring back only one, it would be River. There was something pure and innocent about him. It's difficult to explain. Yes, he was undeniably handsome, but he was more than that. You can see it in videos and photos of him as a child. He was happy, carefree, loving, playful, and immensely talented for his age. Just angelic all around. His voice is amazing! Everything he did seemed effortless! Singing, crying on cue, smiling and laughing. Because River lived so much in a short time. He's been happy. He absolutely adored his family. He had so much love to give. And he knew pain and trauma. Things happened to him when he was young. He has said so himself. As he became a man, it was increasingly harder to cope with what he'd been through. He said he would block things out. That's why he ended up on drugs. Both of his parents were addicts. He never learned how to cope. Look how Joaquin played Johnny Cash! He was messed up most of his life after losing River. Alcohol. He was also an addict, as was Johnny Cash. I'm so glad Joaquin has a son now! He'll never get over seeing his brother die. I hope his son eases the pain, and gives him a deep sense of purpose. River, I hope you're at peace! You are loved by so many, and you'll be missed forever!

I love the sound of River's voice!! So warm and soothing!

River had a beautiful voice. So much talent ❤

Lovely cover. We will never know now if River Phoenix might have had a real musical career as well, because he departed from his earthly life too soon. But it takes time. "Until Now" and "Standing on a Rock" were written and originally recorded by Rodney Crowell. It bugs me that so many people can walk around oblivious to what an incredibly fine songwriter and beautiful vocalist he was and still is. River could not have chosen a better person to show him about what it's like to struggle to succeed in Nashville. Even with Johnny Cash for his father-in-law (was for many years), and Johnny Cash being *still* the most beloved artist in Nashville almost 20 years after he died, Rodney Crowell has never gotten the recognition and accolade he deserves, and yet his work is constantly being played and covered by countless artists. Just listen to "Till I Gain Control Again" and look right here on KZread to see how many big name artists have covered that song, as just one example of his talent. I really did like Elvis, but as far as I know, he didn't write a single one of the hit songs he is famous for recording. I think all those swooning fan girls propped him up a lot.

River phoenix forever

He is the best ❤️ I miss him so much. We lost him to soon😢

My second favorite River movie... I always think of him when I ride by the Blue Bird in Greenhills.
