about

This song was originally released on the 2019 Scene SC Sampler, a fantastic collection of music. While we were honored to be included, getting this song submitted by the deadline caused us to rush the mixing and mastering process.

Five months later, our friend Dylan approached us with a concept for a piece of art inspired by "Up a Mountain", which gave us the idea to to remix and remaster this song into something we could truly be proud of.

Thank you to David Stringer and everyone else who helped put together the 2019 Scene SC Sampler. Being a part of that was a dream come true.

lyrics

This ain't a rehearsal
You're at the show
Although all the actors don't even know
Ready set go

In unison, we all go "ah'

Swerving north up 77
Wish I could turn around
My garden vines are constricting
It feels great until I come down
Wish I could turn around

In unison, we all go "ah"

Say what you will
Up a mountain, down a hill
Say what you will
I got down before the avalanche

Stop right where you are
Hands up slowly
I'll disappear
Stop right where you are
Hands up slowly
I'll disappear
Count to three, don't turn around
Don't follow me
Easy does it there
Take what you need
I'll go back up the mountain whistling
If you ask me
