“From A Mountain” - Swimmingpool The Band
“From A Mountain” fits into my pieces of structured pop songs. This one, sonically, as well as lyrically, is a bit more personal (maybe even dark, I won’t go too heavily into the influences of it) than some of the others. The guitars and key, building around a simple driving beat, are a bit more lyrical and dramatic. They’re also more bass heavy, which I think gives the song more of a grip.
Blanket of drone build along the lead guitars and layered vocals in the end. I am incredibly happy with the end result. The lyrics are below. To download the song, click the title above.
From a mountain
I covered up
the world with my hand,
the life below
Lights of
a television
a police car.
You are going to
a hospital alone.
And I wanted to
be there with you
and remain
invisible.
