Voice From the Mountain Lyrics
Voice from the mountain
And a voice from the sea
Voice in my neighbourhood
And a voice calling me.
Tell me my friend my friend
Tell me with love
Where can it end it end, this
Voice from above.
The sound on the ocean wave
And the sound in the tree
Sound in a country lane
Say you can be free.
Tell me you crowd you crowd
Tell me again
Tell me out loud out loud
This sound is rain.
Tune from the hillside
And tune full of light
A flute in the morning
And a chime in the night.
I know the game again
I know the score
I know my name my name
But this tune is more.
Voice from the mountain
And voice from the sea
Voice from in my neighbourhood
And a voice calling me.
Tell me my friend my friend
Tell me with love
Where can it end it end, this
Voice from above.
And a voice from the sea
Voice in my neighbourhood
And a voice calling me.
Tell me my friend my friend
Tell me with love
Where can it end it end, this
Voice from above.
And the sound in the tree
Sound in a country lane
Say you can be free.
Tell me you crowd you crowd
Tell me again
Tell me out loud out loud
This sound is rain.
And tune full of light
A flute in the morning
And a chime in the night.
I know the game again
I know the score
I know my name my name
But this tune is more.
And voice from the sea
Voice from in my neighbourhood
And a voice calling me.
Tell me my friend my friend
Tell me with love
Where can it end it end, this
Voice from above.

i love this song. it's so solid and steady. nick sings with such conviction.
Nick is a legend, and so many people haven't even heard his greatest material. It's a shame.
His voice here, as in Black Eyed Dog, has that plaintive, querulous, almost childlike quality that gives me chillbumps.
Heh, sometimes the country can't be contained :)
Heh, sometimes the country can't be contained :)
I imagine that this song has something to do with his inner consciousness. What really speaks to me here is the line "I know the game, the game, I know the score. I know my name, my name, but this tune means more." It seems to me that Nick here has come to terms, or maybe has realized, the direction that he is heading and sees an end to his life coming (I know the score, the ending to the game). Much like in Fruit Tree, where he explains how great artists are underappreciated in their life times, "This tune means more" seems to refer to the idea that his music will far outlive him?
