The song "Moon River" originally appeared in the 1961 film "Breakfast at Tiffany's" and was performed by Audrey Hepburn. However, Joey McIntyre, a member of the group New Kids on the Block, also covered the song. The lyrics of "Moon River" describe a dreamer who is crossing the river, referred to as "Moon River", in a stylish and graceful manner. The river symbolizes the journey of life and the dreams and aspirations of the individual. The dreamer addresses the "Old dream maker", someone who creates dreams, and calls them a "heartbreaker", possibly suggesting that dreams can sometimes lead to disappointment or heartache. However, despite this, the dreamer declares that wherever the dream maker is going, they are also going in the same direction, indicating their willingness to pursue their dreams and face the challenges that come with them. The song also mentions two drifters who set off on a journey to see the world. There is a lot of beauty and wonder in the world awaiting them, symbolized by the "rainbow's end". The line "waitin' 'round the bend" suggests that there are endless possibilities and adventures that lie ahead. The phrase "My huckleberry friend" is a term of endearment used to describe someone close to the singer. It can be interpreted as a companion or a confidant who accompanies the singer on their journey through life. In this case, Moon River itself is seen as the singer's huckleberry friend. Overall, "Moon River" is a nostalgic and poetic song that captures the longing for exploration, the pursuit of dreams, and the bond between friends as they navigate the unpredictable yet beautiful journey of life.
