Songs about mountains

"Mountain Song" by Jane's Addiction

But my favorite is "To The Mountains" by Norwegian band Big Bang:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sp70dlc3LkY

You gotta dig your body and your head
down in the snow
You gotta tie your scarf around my pole
to let them know
And I gotta take your arms around my waist
and you'll take mine
We gotta move our fingers and our toes
and we'll be fine
You're just a poor little city boy you don't know
what you're missing
I say welcome to the mountains
You're just a skinny little city girl
you don't even know who you're kissing
I say welcome to the mountains

Hang on hang on
You better put some wool on
We'll see the pine treetops from high above
Come on
Walk up to the mountains
and if we're lucky we'll come back alive

I gotta take your arms around my waist
and you'll take mine
We gotta move our fingers
and our toes and we'll be fine

If you wanna get high
close to the sky
welcome to the mountains

Poor John Denver was confused in this song, he needed to work an map and compass skills, Neither the Shenandoah River nor the Blue Ridge Mountains are in West (By God) Virginia

I seriously can't be the only one who knows this one:

"Conquer Me" by Blues Traveler

BLUES TRAVELER
Conquer Me

(words by J. Popper)
(music by B. Sheehan)

Hail to you my mountain climber busy at your task
I know you're in a hurry but there's something I must ask
Do you ever get lonely climbing up so high
If you don't want to answer me I can understand why
If I told you a secret, would you want to know more
I've got a challenge I hope you won't ignore

Conquer me figure me out and set me free
I've got a hundred million things to show you as many more to see
But only if you conquer me

Sometimes I get the precious view and the grand scheme shows its face
When all is in harmony it can be such a lonely place
The melody is sad and sweet, and the dance I do is fun
Yes I love this precious view but I'm staring at the sun
For as pretty the picture, I share this view alone
Will anyone stoop to grasp this gauntlet I have thrown

Conquer me figure me out and set me free
I've got a hundred million things to show you as many more to see
But only if you conquer me

Hail to all you mountain climbers all you dreamers on the run
I'm your self appointed solicitor but now I speak to only one
Whoever she is now, and whoever she'll become
I'd like to ask her to hurry please and if she's walking could she run
It's not my impatience though perhaps just there I lied
It's just I'm feeling invincible and it has me terrified

Conquer me figure me out and set me free
Conquer me figure me out and set me free

[Joe H.]

an easier listen than the Tull, and a favorite of mine. Stills was apparently a United States Civil War buff, and did a cover shot in Manassas, VA when he was in the band of the same name. The song refers to a mountain route we take to many of our hikes down here. Happy New Year to all!

Fearless by Pink Floyd

You say the hill's too steep to climb
Climb it.
You say you'd like to see me try
Climbing.

You pick the place and I'll choose the time
And I'll climb
That hill in my own way.
Just wait a while for the right day.
And as I rise above the tree lines and the clouds
I look down, hearing the sound of the things you've said today.
