This is the first song I wrote together with James 7!!! years ago !


This is a slightly different interpretation of that song .....

We really had a great time recording this ... as you may hear!

It's live and the recording setup is not optimal, but I think the energy comes through !!!


When I was younger
You'd take me to the hills
Around the lochside
We'd cast our rods until
The fish stopped biting
Or all our bait ran dry
I will remember
Until the day I die


Take me to the mountainside
And lay me down
We can see forever from
The higher ground

And now I'm older
You are no longer here
I have what was yours
Your tackle and your gear
My child beside me
A twinkle in my eye
I will remember
Until the day I die


Take me to the mountainside
And lay me down
We can see forever from
The higher ground


When I was younger
You'd take me to the hills
Around the lochside
We'd cast our rods until
The fish stopped biting
Or all our bait ran dry
I will remember
Until the day I die


Take me to the mountainside
And lay me down
We can see forever from
The higher ground
The mountain song
