Name: Mountain
Duration: P00H03M57S
Description: Written as a poem. I had tried and failed many times to turn it into a song. Hugh sent me a rather beautiful piece in the hope that I had some words that might fit and the two joined together in complete harmony. Reaching the final mix was less harmonious but we got there by taking the up road up and the down road down.

about

Written as a poem. I had tried and failed many times to turn it into a song. Hugh sent me a rather beautiful piece in the hope that I had some words that might fit and the two joined together in complete harmony. Reaching the final mix was less harmonious but we got there by taking the up road up and the down road down.

lyrics

This is the road up the mountain, And this is the road down. Do not confuse the two. Do not take the down road up, Do not take the up road down. Take the up road up, Take the down road down Take the up road up, Take the down road down. Start at the top of the mountain. This is the quickest way up. Remember to admire the view. Do not be tempted by the up road. Take the down road down. Take the up road up, Take the down road down. Take the up road up, Take the down road down.
