‘The Mountain’: Inspiring Togetherness
There is a sense of togetherness and an uplifting tone to the song’s soundscape that is informed by guitars and drums blending with strings and pianos. The lyrics attempt to bolster this mood by linking disparate, separate experiences under something common.
This is apparent in the second verse of the song:
“…Sometimes the poor man…wants to be rich,…
…The little girl…wants to be queen…
…But its all good…it’s fine,
As long as we’re together,
We can beat anything and make eachother better…”.
‘The Mountain’ holds in it a sense that if we band together, we can do anything. Or atleast knowing that we aren’t alone can give one the strength to keep going. Knowing this gives our narrator the courage and confidence to “…climb the highest mountain…swim the widest sea…”.
All of these roads and all these differences and revelations seem to come together, converge at a single point. There’s a sentiment of giving that runs throughout the track, becoming the crux of the song’s message and its main theme.
“…They say its not what you take,
Its (about) what you give…”.
In the end, ‘The Mountain’ by La Need Machine gives to its listener. It seems to give a sense of hope and upliftment, highlighting that being giving and vulnerable is a way to feel less alone. Its inspiring tone and soundscape urge the listener to choose life, which is bright with positivity and not a lonely road.
