My first song on Soundclick! Please listen, rate, comment, etc... Thanks. ;)
It's all me, my one-man band project!
Story behind the song
I was cycling up the Alps and was awestruck by their beauty, and by the view from up above. This song, therefore, is about being far-away on top of the mountains and forgetting your troubles for awhile.
Lyrics
The cold stitches through my body
about what do I want to sing, base jumping?
The clouds don't move, the rain keeps on falling
Isn't it quite the truth, when I hear a scream it could be anything
Joy because of reunion, or deepest fear because of a bad, bad man
who does a sexual innuendo and has even more in mind
You know, bad boys are everywhere and by that I mean in every frickin' town!
But when I'm in the mountains
high up, I let my head fall free
all my thoughts and and all my troubles
I can see them far down in the valley
Stones under the wheels and a sweater in between
close to falling it's risky but I like it
I have no meals but a cold beer 'cause I'm broke
The sun's on my neck repeatedly
"were you ever high before", they ask me
and I say, "yes I was, yes I was for sure"
'Cause when I'm in the mountains
high up, I let my head fall free
all my thoughts and and all my troubles
I can see them far down in the valley
Many a people have nothing to do
they work every single hour they walk straight like a tower
they drink whiskey and wine, hey what a waste of time
Then they take a book, reading yours won't be a happy ending, a happy ending!
But when I'm in the mountains
high up, I let my head fall free
all my thoughts and and all my troubles
I can see them far down in the valley
