about

This is one of the first songs I wrote as Mountain Mirrors. I recorded the original demo back in 2003 on a Fostex 4 track with a Zoom drum machine and Radio Shack keyboard.

It's always been one of my favorite MM songs, and since the original recording was crappy, it was time to re-record it with the help of Per and Magnus.

It's sort of a "Harold and Maude" type vibe, where no matter how many ways the main character tries to die, something interferes, and life goes on.

lyrics

Went down to the tracks and waited for the train
to come and run me down again
felt the cold chill
heard the rumble in the distance
and it disappeared into the wind
Sat down by the ocean and waited for the tide
to wash me away
it's about as low as it can go
it's been that way
all day
Climbed up that evil mountain
waited for the lightning to strike me down
think I'll stay here for a thousand years
nobody down there wants me around
