♡Mountain Twin♥
Steadfast through a blanket white
Woven among narrow pines
Oh what a hallowed sight
Open air paired with stillness
The genesis of innocence
My burdens all-amiss
Thawing frost across my face
Melt away the masquerade
Into a cascade
Stainless windows made of ice
Bring fourth from my cluttered mind
bits of closeness to divine
High above streaks of modern sin and blurred vision
Find between white peaks the canyons leak an origin
Where I become my mountain twin
Carving out with every step
A new name, one with pertinence
A joy enthusiast
Now revealed, with different eyes
My carefulness lent the disguise
to bits of closeness to divine
High above streaks of modern sin and blurred vision
Find between white peaks the canyons leak an origin
Hear the sound it hangs above the trees with resonance
Vacancy replaced by flowing creaks of eloquence
Where I become my mountain twin
Steal breath, fill it up with pine
Bits of closeness to diviner
A music that touches soul . What i have been listening to for all these years , crap !!!

I can't help but feel at home listening to this album, especially this song.
When I first came across it, I had just come back from a 2-year church mission, and was struggling to find meaning in regular life again. Why was I working? Why was I doing what I was doing?
Then I came cross this. For 5 minutes, I understood. It was an incredible feeling.
Now, whenever I feel distant, I come back. I transports me back to a moment of understanding. I imagine the cool breeze through the Appalachian pines as I run countless miles on unending trails, as I do so often when I'm home. All is right listening to this stuff.
Again, Joel, Thank you. And Happy Thanksgiving!
i always come back to these songs. i cant get over how amazing they are.
Wow. If angels could write music, they would write like this. Its one of the most beautiful things I've heard in a long time. Thank you Mr Porter. Wonderful.
This is one of those songs that drifts you off to another universe when listening. I truly love this song it gives me such nostalgia from when i first found it. Thank you for creating this masterpiece i truly love it.
This song means a lot to me.
It takes me to the places where there are mountains, stream and a forest...It's cold and yet so warm. It's so beautiful and breathtaking. Whenever I get tired of seeing cars and people on streets, I listen to this song.
Thank you so much, Joel. ❤
Thank you so much for listening to my song. So happy it takes you there.
I was just listening to this had had the thought how great of an opening to Mushi-shi it would be.
One day, I'll be living the most simple life that I've always wanted. This song is my motivation.
Thank you so much, Joel. Your song has been one of my most favourite songs of all time. 🤍
I'm sure it will be a simple life I envy. Thank you for the kind words!
I know our universe is multidimensional. I also have a feeling Joel is from the 5th dimension. haha. you're an incredible soul. thank you for your music:) hare krsna
It's really true that I keep coming back to this song. Things are not going well these days and people I know are turning into strangers slowly. If I'm being honest, I'm both sad and happy right now. I never wanted to lose them but sometimes, we really need to let go of things that hold us down. Well, everyone's leaving and I'm also changing but I'm glad that my taste in your beautiful music is still the same. It still takes me to mountains and streams and I still have that goal to stay simple. This is truly a masterpiece. 🤍
your most magnificent singer, i ever seen😍😍😍.... please make more song's like this.. keep rocking👩🎤👨🎤👨🎤👨🎤
I just love it
It take me to a different world🔥
I have been listening this song for months everyday...
Amazing. I feel blessed to have found your music. Your song St. Anthony perfectly expressed how I felt when my father died. I played that song over and over that week. Can’t wait to hear what you do next. Thank you.
Wow, Mark. Thank you so much for the kind words. I'm sorry for your loss. It's so humbling to know that my music helped you during that difficult time.
Thank you.
This song is an absolute masterpiece. A literal poetry, with one of the most soothing voice mankind has ever heard. Thanks a lot for creating such amazing music.

This is really the best soothing song for me. I keep coming back again and again. You're really the Artist I admire, Joel. 💖
Beautiful song
Essa música me trás uma sensação única , vontade de gritar, chorar e rir ao mesmo tempo !
i went back to my soundcloud account that was untouched since 2019, so glad to be able to listen to this gem again :)
This songs made me felt so alive while exploring Iceland last year in winter. I played it a lot while driving solo through the mountains and fjords. I hope more and more people will find their way to your songs. :)

Snowboarding and Mountain Culture were huge inspirations for this song.
Still so much in love with this masterpiece.
@@JoelPorterMusic You're welcome, Joel! I'm so glad that you and your music exists!
This is so awesome, my type of music, gave me chills when I first heard the song, good work man !!!!
This is so soothing :)
I just found out about you now now, please please pleeaasee 🙇 keep doing more music like this I'm sooo impatiently waiting I subscribed and I'll be checking my notifications everday
Wonderful song, but I'm particularly obsessed with the acoustic intro going to about the 22-second mark. I made a looped cut of just that bit for personal use and listened to it on a hike yesterday. Problem is I used an old version of Windows Movie Maker to do it and there's a faint static background noise, not to mention I have to crank the volume up to hear it at a decent level. Would be over the moon if an official cut of the intro was produced - it's beautiful and the first thing I think of when hearing it are the beautiful evergreens engulfed in a morning fog up here in the PNW. All that aside, great work!
Thank you, Haley! I'd be more than happy to send you an instrumental version if you'd like it!
@@JoelPorterMusic I would love that!! It's a beautiful track. If you need my email, it's haleymjones1997@gmail.com
Hi. Greetings from India. Hooked to this song!
Could you tell me what was the inspiration behind the song? Eager to know. Thank you for making such quality music.
Absolutely! First of all, thank you for listening to my music. This song was inspired by the mountains and winter areas I have been fortunate enough to spend time in... and how every time I visited one of these places, I found myself in awe of the creation I was witnessing. It put in perspective the destructive and narrow mindsets that creep their way into our way of thinking if left unmonitored... It made me feel like I had a new, and more meaningful life
Once again, thank you so much for reaching out. Means a lot to hear that you connected with what I create. Hope you enjoy the rest of my music, and happy listening!
Such experiences indeed enrich us on unprecedented scales. Hope you make big! :)
I write poems/free verse every now and then. If you wish to use them as lyrics, I am open to the prospect of sharing them with you. Here's my email ID- tiwariaishwarya0909@gmail.com
I would love to read some of your poetry. Feel free to send them over anytime!

Hello, Joel. Really the song is way good. I listened it in soundcloud, I'd like use this song to my video, like you see, i have a youtube channel, all my videos that i upload will be about motivation. I want have your permission to make it. I will wait really your answer. Best regards.
I am so sorry to be getting to this so late. Send me some of your videos! I'd love to see them!
Listened to this when I confessed I liked my crush, it helped me calm down and we were in a relationship for a few months and went back to being friends, I’m with a different girl now and struggling with depression and school. Every time I listen to this song it brings me back to a simpler time. When we were able to sing our hearts out and not give a shit about who hears. Back when everything was simple, and I was a kid who liked someone who liked me back. When we looked into each other’s eyes and thought it would last till the end of time. I miss the feeling of those days. I miss 2017. This song might be the one thing that can bring back those memories and I’m forever grateful to you for giving me confidence a few years ago to be happy. Thank you Joel.
Thank you for giving me the courage to say those few words that changed my life for the better, you make me excited for winter so I can be reminded of what it’s like being a kid. What it was like to be happy
Jack, I know that exact feeling... the one where a song can take you back to a specific moment in time, and make you feel something so familiar for a split second. I have songs that do that for me as well, but this is the first time someone has told me that a song I wrote has that power for someone else. I'm so humbled.
I never thought you’d see this! This song is one of few that can do that for me, if I ever to get a tattoo it is going to be of one of the lyrics to this song because it’s one of the songs that has shaped who I am today. I truly thank you from the bottom of my heart
