Izzy brings in 2025 with “Down by the River,” said to have been originally composed by Borislov Slavov, a Bulgarian composer of (among other kinds) music for video games

Here are the lyrics:

Lace your heart with mine
Let your sleeping soul take flight
Take me through the night

[Refrain]
Down, down, down by the river
Down, down, down by the river (By the river)

[Verse 2]
Hanging moon in fog
Mists will lead where you belong
Sweep me off my feet

[Refrain]
Down, down, down by the river
Down, down, down by the river
Down, down, down by the river (By the river)

[Bridge]
Inky embers (Inky embers)
Swirl and dance (Swirl and dance)
Just leave the flames and take a chance
To be with me tonight
Take my hand
and hold it tight
‘Causе you and I are everywhеre
The night is young, we’re going

[Refrain]
Down, down, down by the river (By the river)
Down, down, down by the river
Down, down, down by the river (By the river)

[Outro]
Don’t wake me up
Just leave me there dreaming

Baldur’s Gate III is a video game
