I Long for the Mountains

New song, written by me.

I started recording this to put onto my myspace, but pretty much everything I've done so far has disappeared into oblivion and I must start over. Bah.

Lyrics:

Do you remember the way
the sun hit the hillside that day
And how all the trees gently swayed
against the wind, it was clear to me then

And oh how the colors were bright
They don't compare to the pavement upon which we drive
For the first time I saw stars at night
And I could breathe, it felt new to me

And Oh I long for the mountains again
To hear my thoughts and remember them
You might say I will forget them with time
But nothing can take away my truth

When I departed your side
Did you watch as I faded into the night
My shadow shrank from the moonlight
Against the ground, it seems wrong to me now

But I thought it best to be lone
Because that's when you learn things and that's how you grow
But I miss you now more as I go
'Cause when I smile, nobody knows

And oh how I long to be free
To go wherever my wild heart leads me
The world silent besides the stream
I miss the rain and the feeling it gave

And oh I long for the mountains again
To hear my thoughts and remember them
You might say I will forget them with time
But nothing can take away my truth
Nothing can take away you

[kLafied]

Nope? Never heard of that

[ShootingStar3]

Where do you get your inspiration, if you don't mind me asking? The lyrics are really lovely.

[kLafied]

I actually saw a movie this past year which inspired me to write the song...you can figure out which one yourself, though. I don't want to give too much away haha.

Dude, I totally hit that thumbs-down by accident! I meant to click the hitch-hiker thumb to throw some positive feedback your way on this comment but I muffed it up somehow. Sorry bout that. I couldn't agree more about this song though. Right on. It's awesome. And so was your comment...my bad becca.

[ayobmedz]

you're amazing. I fell in love with you cause of your covers at first, but your originals are just as good, if not better than most of them. sooo good. take care, and i look forward to hearing more =]

This song, over and over in my car for the past few days.

(That old 'Ravenous' comment by 'Celtic Fist' is actually a compliment since the music in the film is so unique and atmospheric. It is a gruesome film but the music throughout is not about what the people are doing, but about the mountains.)
