Mountain 04:01
Mountain standing tall Mountain My face is like a mountain face Her grace is like a river run beside and through The dance we share between us A cosmic crash of light Sunrise and sunset Day as it merges, merges with the night Can you feel the rush now? A cosmic crash of light Mountain standing tall Mountain

I stared the forest but there was nothing there for me So I turned my head instead to the vastness of the sea Oh the waves, they tugged and pulled Dragged me down, to the depths But the depths that I found there were nothing Nothing, compared to you You are the river, pulling on me You are the current, setting me free You are the river, pulling on me You are the current, you're setting Setting me free And I was left cast off on the shore Gasping, breath ragged But the air itself felt foreign Without your presence I was lost You are the river Dragging on me Yes you are the current Setting me free You are the river Pulling on me Yes, you are the current You are setting, setting me free

about

CDR069: The fourth of thirteen monthly Sidekick Wave singles find the project moving in very different directions. Gone are the dance floors and in their place are the rivers, mountains and beauty of the natural world.

This EP features two a-sides - the lush beauty with Leone-esque strings of Mountain" and the stripped down electro-folk love song of "You Are The River". Further Soundoferror (Dan Burke of the legendary Illusion of Safety) provides an epic re-interpretation of "You Are The River" and "In Circle" closes things out with sample-based chill hop vibe of "In Circle".

The "Soundoferror" remix also has an official video for it, so please check it out at: www.youtube.com/watch?v=3QcdO-5drWg
