Tall Heights - "The Mountain" [Acoustic in the Attic]

"The Mountain" was inspired by a photograph of a friend's grandfather on his last day, sitting in a chair and looking at the Green Mountains of Vermont. We never knew the man, but the photo said so much. When we decided to film a video for "The Mountain" in Paul's attic, we invited fans to send us their special photos and stories of friends and loved ones who had passed away so we could include them in the video.

Each photo has its own aching beauty. They remind us of the connections we all share, and the way we can preserve the presence of another within the eternal natural world. Thank you to everyone who shared a photo and a memory.

Lyrics:
You always loved that mountain,
So honey that’s where you’ll go
Not trying to be morbid
But at the end of your road
If you go somewhere else before I do
I’ll be looking out at the mountain, honey
I’ll be making eyes at you

Making eyes at you

I’ll talk to you in the evening
When the air is still and sweet
I’ll talk to you in the morning
When the sun climbs over the peak
If your body leaves me
Before mine leaves you
I’ll be looking out at the mountain, honey
I’ll be making eyes at you

Making eyes at you

I don’t need heaven sent
Or a wish in the well
Not trying to live forever
To me that sounds like hell
‘Cause we got a moment here
Can you see the view?
I’ll be looking out at the mountain, honey
I’ll be making eyes at you

Making eyes at you
