Mountains

In 'Mountains,' Said The Sky crafts a poignant narrative about love, connection, and the emotional journey shared between two people. The song opens with a promise of companionship and adventure, symbolized by the imagery of following someone into the 'open blue' and watching the evening sky. This sets the stage for a story of two individuals who find solace and meaning in each other's presence, suggesting that their souls come to life when they are together.

The lyrics delve deeper into the emotional struggles both characters face. They were 'both out on our own, singing sad songs,' indicating a sense of loneliness and despair before they found each other. The plea for a sign of life and presence—'Show me a sign, show me some life, show me that you’re here tonight'—highlights the desperation and need for reassurance in their relationship. This emotional vulnerability is further emphasized by the repeated declarations of need, love, and a plea for the other to stay, underscoring the fear of losing oneself without the other.

The metaphor of climbing a mountain together serves as a powerful symbol of overcoming obstacles and reaching new heights in their relationship. The line 'Darling don’t let go, for only wise men know that dreams can melt like snow, but love like this can only grow' suggests that while dreams may be fleeting, true love has the potential to endure and flourish. This sentiment is a testament to the strength and resilience of their bond, encouraging them to hold on to each other as they navigate the challenges of life together.
