Iron & Wine - Upward Over The Mountain Lyrics

WHO HERE IN 2020!!!!!!!

Listening to this because of a special friend🌷

NCIS - Los Angeles ❤🚔

This song makes me nostalgic for something I can't even put my finger on.

Mother don't worry, I've tread on the last snake that lived in the creek bed

@Oliver William Quinn Mother don't worry, I've got some money I saved for the weekend

Truly love this song

You know a songs good when the best part isn't how it sounds, but rather the emotional effect it has on you.

Alone. Nobody notice. Life isn't supposed to be lived like that way.

My mother suffered a stroke Monday. Luckily, she is alive and can walk and talk. A few days in, I notice that she has a lapse of memory; sometimes, she has trouble remembering my birthday and my name. We have had our ups and downs, but whenever she doesn’t know her son’s name, I have this deep pang of regret. I could’ve been so much more lenient with her. I should’ve listened more often. There are days I see the woman I knew, the one that raised me. Other times, there is very little light that showed the woman that molded me, good or bad. I love you mom. I’m sorry.

I'm sorry. I'm sure she knows. You are there for her now. That matters. I can tell you love her. She must too.

reminds me of summer 2010. i was 19 and i worked in new york for a summer. met a girl and she introduced me to iron and wine and paul simons album graceland. left her in august to roadtrip to San Francisco. went home to ireland and met her again the following march in montreal. broke up with her in nice, france two months later. now she has a baby with a guy.


this song is a nostalgia trip for me. great times and memories. life is so much fun and goes fast. now i work as a gameshow host in latvia lol :) things are always changing :)

@Navaneeth rajan thanks navaneeth what does tight mean

@Rob Reeves gripping*

@Navaneeth rajan thanks

How did you travel so much?!?!

@Dark Star King I dunno, man. Just the way it's gone lol.

...anyone else out there a failed fukn college kid, once a straight a student turned failure and turned to drugs and alcohol now trying to relive the young wild and free feeling that is now taken over by the older, outlived and overstayed welcome upon this life feeling youve developed sometime in your life in which you live day in day out, confused , lost, just...fucked... fuck trying to be better, fuck it all.. i just cant anymore.. good fucking luck everyone, but im tellen ya, there js nothing you will be missing, it is all fucked, wether you experience it or not, youre still going to die, and you you;re memory will die alongwith you, none of it matters.

I am so sorry for what you are going through. I can feel your pain, truly. You sound exactly like my son, who is 24 and lives with me. Even though he lives with me he has deep emotional issues that started when his father left us and over the years it has made his issues so much more difficult. He sent me this song and I just am overcome with emotion. I hope and pray that you can find someone or someplace that will make you feel safe. I don't know you, but please know that no matter how fucked up the situation is - SOMEWHERE there is a life-line. It may come from the least expected place, but if you can keep yourself together, for your OWN sake, it will come. I am Irish so maybe I can't help but quote Oscar Wilde when he says "We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars."

BUY thE FUcking cd you fUKn pOOO/rich college kids....

This song hurts my fucking soul.

Mother don't worry I will lock the room from inside before I jerk off

Mother remember the blink of eye when I breathed through your body ------ gives me goosebumps

Raptor what does it mean ?

@D D Pregnancy, it's like the blink of an eye for the baby but it's months for a mother

3:16 - 5:56 <3

This makes me mourn the living

Couldnt have put it any better, i think of how much ill miss my mother when shes gone and how theres so many ways i wish to say to her that i love her that ill never find the words for, all i can say for sure is that you have to grab hold of any moment you can to show your loved that you love them while theyre still here with you, life is precious

This hurts me. I lost my Mom in January and I think of her whenever I hear this. So lovely and sad.

Strength to you my friend

Take care. She's in peace.

i love you. we love you. She's in a better place.

She is always with you...wherever you are she sees you...I'm sure of this I believe..X because my dad is always with me...her blood runs through your veins...she won't ever leave you and she helps when she can..xxx

How emotional can this song be!

What a shame more people can not hear ..or just envision what iron and wine s music into an open mind and heart!

Where's the one with the black and white heart drawing?

This song never fails to make me cry.

For real. 😣😭

A little bit depressing, isn't it?

Too depressing that I wanna kill myself

I think it's both, hopeful and without-hope, it feels like a song about where the two meet.

Heart felt...my heart felt it..didn't yours

04/09/2018// ‘i’ll be seeing you soon, i swear. (mama, there’s a girl)

LYRICS
Mother don't worry, I killed the last snake that lived in the creek bed
Mother don't worry, I've got some money I saved for the weekend
Mother remember being so stern with that girl who was with me?
Mother remember the blink of an eye when I breathed through your body?
So may the sunrise bring hope where it once was forgotten
Sons are like birds, flying upward over the mountain
Mother I made it up from the bruise on the floor of this prison
Mother I lost it, all of the fear of the Lord I was given
Mother forget me now that the creek drank the cradle you sang to
Mother forgive me, I sold your car for the shoes that I gave you
So may the sunrise bring hope where it once was forgotten
Sons could be birds, taken broken up to the mountain
Mother don't worry, I've got a coat and some friends on the corner
Mother don't worry, she's got a garden we're planting together
Mother remember the night that the dog got her pups in the pantry?
Blood on the floor, fleas on their paws,
And you cried 'til the morning
So may the sunrise bring hope where it once was forgotten
Sons are like birds, flying always over the mountain

@The Learner well..may be you are into girls more than you'd like to admit LOL

@Jules Gilmour Can't believe you're ready to decide someone's sexuality for the sole purpose of believing and reinforcing your own narrow minded thinking

@The Learner hey i was just joking with you. You really think I'd care if someone did or didn't thank me for posting some lyrics lol. I can't believe you were taking every comment so seriously. I think you might be having a bad day today.

@Jules Gilmour Okay,...sorry. No intention of hurting okay ? I apologize if I went overboard.

@The Learner it's really Okay. No harm done :)

This is the best song sir
Can't explain any further

wow. just wow.

Amazing :)

Mother, don't worry. I've got a coat and some friends on the corner
Mother, don't worry. She's got a garden we're planting together
