"She's a River" kicked off Good News from the Next World, Simple Minds' 11th studio album, arriving on Virgin on 11 January 1995 with Keith Forsey producing. Singer Jim Kerr and guitarist-keyboardist Charlie Burchill wrote it, and the spark was literary: Hermann Hesse's Siddhartha, a novel about finding yourself. Kerr has said that as a younger man he leaned on that book to steer him through his own chaos, and that he still needs it, along with music that drives him on.
The single did its best business in Canada and Italy, reaching number three in both, and made the UK top ten at number nine; in America it climbed to six on Billboard's Album Rock Tracks chart.
