PrintableThat whole album is the BEST-what a great song to open side 2 (before cd's).
Not to say Prince is incapable of making any new great albums, but I bet "Roadhouse Garden" is the only album that could meet "Parade" in that kind of entertaining creativity. | |

Mountains is a fantastic song . . . the music, singing, and lyrics are all great!
One thing that sets this song apart for me is that the drums or orchestral parts seem to be just a "little bit" off . . . like one is slower, and one is faster . . . just behind the beat a "touch". This, to me, ADDS to the brilliance . . . anyone else get that impression? And yes, the 12" remix is the best! Still have it, just wish I had a record player! The 12" cover art is cool too, with the round hat.  |

 I also LOVE Mountains!!
When the 12" came out I was 14 & picked it up at the local mom& pop record shop in my town. I was so excited that while I was waiting for my parents to pick me up, I asked the woman if she would play my new record on the store stereo, and she did!

One of Prince's very best tracks! I wish he would play that one during the upcoming tour, his current band could certainly get away with it! RIP Prince: thank U 4 a funky Time... |

Mountains was the single that firmly cemented me as a life long Prince fan. |

Love Mountains, just love it. The world is a comedy for those who think and a tragedy for those who feel.

I know everybody loves this song, but I gotta admit, I love the intro and the groove, but then the song never really changes or goes anywhere. It's a great beat, but it doesn't really change or have a bridge or anything, and I always thought the vocals were a bit airy and wimpy. I wanted prince's voice more out front or something. ya know what I mean? ______________________________________________

I have to be honest here & say i've never been totally convinced by this track. In fact, i think it's my least favourite song on the album. [This message was edited Tue Feb 24 4:01:56 2004 by TheFrog] | |
