  • Songs about mountains

    How many mountain songs can we find? Here are a couple from one of my favorite rock groups, lead singer Kevin Cronin.



    Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.


    OK, second one doesn't actually mention mountains, but...

    We climb, and climb, and at the top we fly, let the world go on below us, we are lost in time.

    Does that describe what we do, or what?

    Songs about mountains

    I tend to write songs in my head as I hike. Finished one that I started on Tabletop, and I also have another one called 'Hitch Up, Matilda' that I haven't recorded yet.

    You can check out 'Tabletop Mountain' at www.rusticatormusic.com

      Nothing beats

      Colonel Forbin's Ascent

      Colonel Forbin stared up at the mountain
      And wiped away the beads of sweat
      That glistened on his brow
      His tired feet were buried in the quagmire
      And his bloodshot eyes saw all that lay between him
      And fulfillment of his vow

      And he felt his fingers wrap around a knotted root
      And pulled his body upwards
      To a sea green mossy boulder
      And he dragged his weary carcass up the mountain

      And he climbed so slowly
      He climbed so slowly
      Ahead
      Ahead
      Eventually, all things merge into one, and a river runs through it.The river was cut by the world's great flood and runs over rocks from the basement of time. On some of the rocks are timeless raindrops. Under the rocks are the words, and some of the words are theirs. I am haunted by waters.

              I think I'm goin' to Kathmandu
              I think it's really where I'm goin' to
              Hey, if I ever get out of here
              That what I'm gonna do

              K-k-k-k-k-k-Kathmandu
              I think it's really where I'm goin' to
              Hey, if I ever get out of here
              I'm goin' to Kathmandu

              I got no kick against the west coast
              Where all the brothers are such good hosts
              I raise my whiskey glass, give 'em a toast
              I'm sure they know it's true

              I got no rap against southern states
              Every time I been there it's been great
              But now I'm leaving and I can't be late
              And to myself be true

              That's why I'm goin' to Kathmandu
              Really, really, really goin', too
              Hey if I ever get out of here
              That's what I'm gonna do

              Whoa, Kathmandu
              Take me with you, 'cause I'm goin' with you
              Now, if I ever get out of here
              I'm goin' to Kathmandu

              I got no quarrel with the Midwest
              The folks out there have given me their best
              I've lived there all my life, I've been their guest
              I sure have loved it, too

              I'm tired of looking at the TV news
              I'm tired of drivin' hard and payin' dues
              I figure, baby, I got nothin' to lose
              I'm tired of bein' blue

              That's why I'm goin' to Kathmandu
              Up to the mountains where I'm going to
              If I ever get out of here
              That's what I'm gonna do

              K-k-k-k-k-k-Kathmandu.
              Really, really, really goin', too
              If I ever get out of here
              I'm goin' to Kathmandu

              I ain't got nothin' 'gainst the east coast
              You want some people, well they got the most
              New York City's like a friendly old ghost
              You seem to cruise right through

              I know I'm gonna miss the USA
              I guess I'll miss it every single day
              But no one loves me here any way
              I know my plane is due

              The one that's goin' to Kathmandu
              Really, really goin', too
              Hey, if I ever get out of here
              That's what I'm gonna do, gonna do

              Kathmandu
              Take me with you, 'cause I'm goin' with you
              Now, if I ever get out of here
              If I ever get out of here
              If I ever get out of here
              I'm goin' to Kathmandu

                            If you like this, which I do, you're bound to like Levon's version.
