Song Meaning of “Mountains (Bonus Track)” by Vijay Iyer Trio
Mountains by Vijay Iyer Trio is a beautiful exploration and celebration of the human experience. It’s a reminder that although our lives may be filled with twists and turns, if we go through ups and downs, and at times can feel like a mountain to overcome, it’s by going through these struggles that we can come out the other side stronger than before. The gradual and peaceful build up of the melody is mirrored in our own physical and emotional journeys that must happen in order to reach our desired outcome. The airy yet urgent piano rhythm infuses hope and an invitation to keep climbing, no matter what may come our way. The guitar and drums interplay adds to the hypnotic and comforting flow of the song, and the gentle textures take us up and over the mountain, journeying through the sometimes difficult yet ultimately rewarding experience of life. This song lyrically helps us to remember that no matter what our individual paths may be, by confronting our mountains head on, and by ultimately accepting their presence in our lives, we are able to arrive at the top, overlooking a brighter future with strength, grace and a newfound peace.
