This is a political folk song about sticking together and fighting for what is right!

Not really sure what genre this song should be in. It's about that person that we all know who has so much talent but is too shy to share it with the world because for whatever reason they lack the confidence in themselves to ever try!

It's about a kid who uses his imagination to cope with a somewhat dysfunctional home-life.

I guess the song is about negotiating the process of character development through the ups and downs of life.

This song was born out of the frustration with the idea that music is "free." It was also a Song Title Challenge about a year ago. I was also pleased that it just won awards from NSAI and the Mid-Atlantic Song Contest.

A melody was born in my head then transported to guitar and voice.
Still an early demo.

"Top of the Mountain"

By Colin Clyne Copyright 2014

Verse 1
Mountain looking down on me
Know I'm coming soon
Cause I'm a dreamer dreaming high
Can you make me some room?
For the many people plenty mad at me
For my crimes of selfishness I believe

Chorus
Why do things go wrong?
When we reach the top of the mountain?

Verse 2
Well there Mr. Mountain high
Thank you for my thrill
I hate to break the news to you
You were only a hill
Maybe I am bigger than my boots?
Once again, I'll blame it on my roots

Chorus
Why do things go wrong?
When we reach the top of the mountain?

Bridge
Mountain looking down at me
I no longer believe
In the many people
Looking down at me
For my crimes
Of ignorance I believe

Chorus
Why do things go wrong?
When we reach the top of the mountain?

Well to be honest I was doing some landscaping and this song came to me. I kind of like it! Maybe would be good as a kids song.
