The Gave de Pau is a river of south-western France and a left tributary of the Adour. It takes its name from the city Pau, through which it flows. The river is 180 kilometres (110 mi) in length, and its source is at the Cirque de Gavarnie in the Pyrenees mountains.
The Gave de Pau receives its main tributary, the Gave d'Oloron in Peyrehorade. The 10 km stretch between the mouth of the Gave d'Oloron and the confluence with the Adour is called Gaves Réunis (united Gaves).

River is the fourth studio album by former Guns N' Roses guitarist Izzy Stradlin. It is the third album to feature ex-Guns N' Roses bass guitarist Duff Mckagan
All lyrics and music by Izzy Stradlin, except where noted.
"River" is a song by Joni Mitchell, from her 1971 album Blue. Although never released as a single, it has become one of Mitchell's most covered songs.
In the song, Mitchell ruminates on the recent breakup of a romantic relationship. Christmas is nearing, and Mitchell longs to escape her emotional bonds, openly wishing "I wish I had a river / I could skate away on", a river so long she "would teach my feet to fly." Furthermore, Mitchell's Canadian past is reflected upon, as her current warm (presumably Californian) climate does not offer her that ice or that chance. Keeping with the Christmas theme of the lyrics, the arrangement of the original song and of many other cover versions, starts with a theme reminiscent of "Jingle Bells", and this theme figures several times throughout the accompaniment.
The song is used in the 2000 film Almost Famous, the 2003 film Love Actually and in episodes of Alias, thirtysomething, The Wonder Years, Ally McBeal, New Girl and ER. There are also numerous discussions of Mitchell's songs by Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan in the 1998 movie You've Got Mail.
