about

‘Mountain Song’ is about wanting to be with someone you can’t; someone that was so close to you. They left you abruptly, with no explanation and the memories of all the good times you spent together now leave you feeling empty. Holding on to all those memories, you now must somehow heal without getting a “goodbye” or closure.

This song was recorded in London at RAK Studios last March. It was such an amazing experience, and we are so excited this is the first song to release from that trip. Alex was given the opportunity to use a 1965 Gibson J200 that Jimmy Page played on ‘Led Zepplin’ album. We were so thrilled and grateful to have that guitar on this song! I feel like it makes the song glow and of course Alex loved playing it.

lyrics

Don’t go that far
To Mount Lilac
My paper heart
It burns to black

Oooo oo ooo oo

I might drive for a minute
See the sunrise
You’re not by my side in this moonlight
You could be right here
If you were mine
If you were mine

I won’t go
That’s what you said
Til it took you over
And then you left

Oooo oo ooo oo

I might drive for a minute
See the sunrise
You’re not by my side in this moonlight
You could be right here
If you were mine
If you were mine

I’m saving my breathe
For air that that can cure me
My paper body needs more time for healing
But Mount Lilac seems to sink in that feeling
Melancholy filling up, up my mind

I might drive for a minute
See the sunrise
You’re not by my side in this moonlight
You could be right here
If you were mine
If you were mine
If you were mine
If you were mine
