    SINGING SAW as a whole is wonderful. One of the many MORBY CLASSICS. And "Mountain"' is of course a fantastic song.

    The Dancing , acting, production is probably the best I believe I've personally enjoyed. Brilliance I laughed hard, another part entertained the genius. Great Artistry.

      +Pranay Sethi Saw him a couple years ago in Richmond...maybe 20 people came out. Good to have those days over. He is no longer classifiable as "60s" or "psychedelic," despite the strong Opal-influence I'm hearing in his first album, not to mention the lingering trace of Dylan-ism, both of which are fine by me. Anyhow, I'm here to call attention to a piece of mine on the whole 2009-present sixties-ish scene I just posted--it features 4-5 Morby songs. www.nationalreview.com/postmodern-conservative/435260/carls-rock-songbook-no-119-todays-sounds-sixties

    Calling out
    Demanding answers
    Pleading skies
    Cry for hours
    Dropping peace bombs
    Collecting prayers
    A sky that mirrors
    A sky that stares as I sing
    I have been to the mountain
    And I have walked on his shore
    I have seen but I can't see him no more
    Round 'em out, make an echo
    Destroy the destroyer
    And do it fast
    That man lived in this town
    Til that pig took him down
    And have you heard the sound
    Of a man stop breathing, pleading?
    I have been to the valley
    And I have sung all her songs
    Watch me sing
    Watch me sing along
    And I say

  • @flux3693
    @flux3693 8 років тому +9

    I think it's a fucking brilliant take on what our soul does when we die - the guy dancing is the spirit that came out of the body that just died, hence the title "I have been to the mountain" and it looks like it's going to be a lot of fun.
    I guess some people just have no appreciation for avant garde videos. It was obviously very low budget but lots of fun...

    • @omninuss6847
      @omninuss6847 7 років тому +4

      Altough I like your interpretation, it seems a lot less gritty, I personally think that the video depicts the guy desperately trying to get back to the living, get attention/ interaction. He has
      to come to term with the fact that hes dead, explaining his depressed look at the end. He is simply ripped out of live no chance to come back again, hes OUT.
      To me in the end it kinda shows the finality of death, in light of the lyrics being about Eric Garner who was suffocated by a policemen you can also see it as a depiction of how unjust this is, for him to be just ripped out of life like that.
      Again im not saying that your interpretation is right, I just wanted to write this down since it made sense to me.

  • @nickgreefpool
    @nickgreefpool 7 років тому +128

    The dislike ratio (for those who wanted to know) is probably because the song is about the death of Eric Garner caused by a NYPD officer putting him in a chokehold while arresting him.
    ''Round 'em out, make an echo
    Destroy the destroyer
    And do it fast
    That man lived in this town
    Til that pig took him down
    And have you heard the sound
    Of a man stop breathing, pleading?''

    • @richardsneed9042

      Eric Garner was a thug. He resisted arrest. He was choked out for something like 20 seconds. Ive endured choke holds lasting for 30 seconds plus. Anyway, the chokehold did not kill him. The officer did his job, and well at that. www.newsmax.com/newsfront/eric-garner-chokehold-grand-jury-police/2014/12/04/id/611058/

      Richard Sneed he was put in a chokehold for selling cigarettes and died as a result of his injuries after telling the office he couldn’t breathe. If you think that’s an acceptable way for law enforcement to act then you’re part of the problem.
