Um, no... TRC is actually quite good.

But Mountains is definitely a lesser Prince song- probably the worst thing on Parade...

Comparing Mountains to Family name is like comparing the Eiffel Tower to a TV antenna. I'm sure Mountains is boring to the soul-less evillol

Part of what makes Mountains a boring song to me is that the majority of the song is stuck on one G major chord and it rarely changes. The instrumentation and vocal harmonies save it, but there's still not much to it.

It's times like these that I'm glad I have no technical music knowledge. I just like the fuckin' song, man. Like, the way he sings it and plays it and shit.

That's cool Funkmistress...definitely go with that feeling. The technical aspect isn't all that important, it's how a song makes you feel that's really important. If Mountains gives you that high as it seems to give many fans, then that makes it a good song.

It just doesn't do much for me, but to each their own.

Mountains is too pop-lite. It's okay but not one of his better songs. It sounds very uninspired musically and lyrically. The funny thing is, it was one of my favorite songs on Parade when I first heard it. It doesn't really grow on you though.

That is funny. It had the opposite effect on me. It was one of my least favorite songs on Parade for several years and it did grow on me. Like a fungus. But not one of those contagious itchy ones.

to say that this song is lyrically uninspired tells me you are a robot lol

"It's only Mountains, and the sea. There's nothing greater, you and me".

Comparing 2 of the grandest/greatest/inspiring aspects of this planet...Mountains and the sea and the love between 2 people is even greater than they.

If that aint inspired...

Doesn't it sound like he's saying "Afrika Bambaata hijacked Enya"?

That's more interesting than "Africa divided, hijack in the air." But I guess the real lyrics make, like, sense and stuff.

Really, though. Next time you listen to "Mountains" you'll hear it. It's enough to make you wanna lose your mind.
