Story behind the song

Rosie Clare had some poems that I put music to.

Lyrics

I wonder up the mountain 
To be where only birds can fly 
I want to see my world 
From the mighty eagles eye 

I hear my heart, it’s pounding 
As I reach a new found high 
My breath it breaks the silence 
Open valleys by and by. 

I’ve come to talk to Mother Earth 
She’ll tell me what to do 
She reaches in and grabs my soul 
Leaving love, while a soft wind blew 

I wonder up the mountain 
To be where only birds can fly 
I want to see my world 
From the mighty eagles eye 

It’s here I find the answers 
Among the fresh clean snow 
The Mountain keeps me grounded 
From the chaos far below 

With beauty in my heart again 
I start the trek back down 
I follow streams all cold and clear 
And hear it’s babbling sound 

The mountain is my refuge 
The mountain sets me free 
The mountain gives me life again 
The mountain helps me see

At some point we all need to walk up the mountain….

This has got a nice driving beat, backing some very good lyrics. :)  The guitar work is great...and the mix sounds really good. :)

Hey Laurel,
Came by for a cuppa, hope it's still nice and hot! LOL! This is a really cool tune, great lyrics by Rosie, nice driving beat, and I love that Bluesy guitar! And yes, I'm still having lots of mixing fun, learn something new every day, and there's still soooo much to learn, but boy do I ever have fun doin' it!

Take care!
Amy
