Bat For Lashes - Mountains Lyrics






You know I couldn't see which way to turn
Fell down at the floor at your feet, begged you let through
Told you I'm just too afraid to stay here in your arms
Drop me off the edge of this cliff
And you can watch me crash down

We both know it's not an easy ride
When It goes up in smoke
I just want to hide
Can we make it right
I get worse at the start
Sing to me in the dark
Sing to me in the dark
Sing to me in the dark
Sing to me in the dark

So you turn to the mountain
She started to sing soft
Notice in the midnight air
Latch your body and soul to the fog
A hundred forks in the road
A hundred knives in my heart
He said go sing to the lovers
Don't ever look over your shoulders

We both know it's not an easy ride
When It goes up in smoke
I just want to hide
Can we make it right
I get worse at the start
Sing to me in the dark
Sing to me in the dark
Sing to me in the dark
Sing to me in the dark
Sing to me in the dark
Sing to me in the dark
Sing to me in the dark
Sing to me in the dark

We both know it's not an easy ride
When It goes up in smoke
I just want to hide
Can we make it right
I get worse at the start
Sing to me in the dark
Sing to me in the dark
Sing to me in the dark
Sing to me in the dark

    You know I couldn't see which way to turn
    Fell down at the floor at your feet, begged you let me through
    Told you I'm just too afraid to stay here in your arms
    Drop me off the edge of this cliff
    And you can watch me crash down
    We both know it's not an easy ride
    When it goes up in smoke
    I just want to hide
    Can we make it right
    I get worse at the start
    Sing to me in the dark
    Sing to me in the dark
    Sing to me in the dark
    Sing to me in the dark, oh
    So you turned to the mountain
    She started to sing soft
    Elvis in the midnight air
    I'll latch your body and soul to the fog
    A hundred forks in the road
    A hundred knives in my heart
    He said go sing to the lovers
    Don't ever look over your shoulders
    'Cause we both know it's not an easy ride
    When it goes up in smoke
    I just want to hide
    Can we make it right
    Like it was at the start
    Sing to me in the dark
    Sing to me in the dark
    Sing to me in the dark
    Sing to me in the dark
    Sing to me in the dark
    Sing to me in the dark
    Sing to me in the dark
    Sing to me in the dark
    We both know it's not an easy ride
    When It goes up in smoke
    I just want to hide
    Can we make it right
    Like it was at the start
    Sing to me in the dark
    Sing to me in the dark
    Sing to me in the dark
    Sing to me in the dark, ooh

    I just discover this song on a French radio. Powerful Program about The tragedy of the Central Pillar of Frêney in 1961. 7 Of the best alpinists at this time (4 French and 3 Italians) decided to climb the Central Pillar of Frêney, an unclimbed peak of the Mont Blanc Group. 4 Dead. A very dramatic story...

    This song goes so well with this story And these climbers...


    [...] In their stories, after the events, Pierre Mazeaud, Walter Bonatti and Roberto Gallieni will all tell the same story what happened. they left together. They did everything to return together.They could not do better. It was not possible. Balance sheet: 4 dead. [...] and the song 🎼 🏔

  3. p.... ....

    Does anyone know what those haunting, sustained high notes are throughout the song? e.g. at 1:14 and 1:35? Is it a pedal steel guitar, or a guitar with some delay/reveb pedals?? I'm in love with the sound O_O

    p.... ....

    It's close to the texture you can have using an Ebow on a guitar with some reverb

    p.... ....

    @Camille Blanchemain thanks, yes its close to e-bow but sounds cleaner. Trying to figure out what it is. :)

    p.... ....

    And what about a Gizmotron?

  4. M.... A....

    I love it. But I felt it needed more payoff with the buildup. I was expecting some belted high notes and that driving beat.

    M.... A....

    I actually really like that the buildup doesn't lead to the payoff it's asking for. It mirrors the lyrics of the song - she's pleading for a resolution to her unsettled feelings, but we're left wondering if she'll get it. And with the music fading instead of delivering, we too are left with an emotional need that goes unanswered.

    I just can't fault this album at all. Natasha gets better and better with each release. Album of the year for me.

  7. f.... L....

    Like an eighties film montage in my head when I listen to this. Hauntingly beautiful, nostalgic and emotional.

  8. V.... A....

    Since the first time I heard Bat For Lashes I felt a strange and familiar beauty. This album came to me at the perfect time after a devastating year.. On Christmas day my dear friend passed away.
    Death changed me... "Sing to me in the dark" that was pure magic. I will never forget the first time I heard this song how much a life holds in us when it leaves. I just can't wrap my mind around it. I was so present when I heard this song and everything was timeless. I was just in a space between some place but me weaved inside this song art4:10 I saw Donny smiling and we danced for the last time into the Mountains...... Natasha I am born July 25 82 you are brilliant your music has healed and bewitched my heart.

    First time for me was Two Suns then Fur and Gold and then each one after all those. Her music is tremendous. FACT.

    J.... S....

    My birthday is also July 25th

    J.... S....

    What's the significance of your birthday? I don't mean to come across as an ass.

    J.... S....

    @pill dolan But you kinda do. A person is still reeling from the death of his/her friend, and Natasha somehow helped with grief. That was the point, and everything else doesn't matter.

    J.... S....

    I know very well about how natasha can help with grief. I first went to see her just after my dad was diagnosed with cancer, and next time just after my dad died of it. And on that second time, she kept staring back at me and smiling, which really made me feel special. But to say nothing else matters, is churlish, because it must have meant something to him, otherwise why would he say it. I'm genuinely asking what the significance is, just because I'm courious if it matches up with a special date in her life or something.

  14. f.... w....

    Really hope I get to see her at either Birmingham or Manchester 😍

  15. V.... U....
