about

Good Mountain was inspired lyrically by Jude’s trip to Peru in 2006.

“ I travelled a little bit in Peru and Bolivia. One of the highlights was doing the Inca Trail, which takes you to the sight of Machu Picchu. The mountain opposite the main Inca city is Good Mountain. That night I slept next to the river at its base. In the early hours I walked up to the site surrounded by rising clouds, it felt very atmospheric.There were hardly any tourists, so it was just me and the quiet of this incredible valley. The song 'Good Mountain' was inspired by the Spanish Conquistadors invasion of this region and the eventual overthrowing and destruction of the Inca empire. The imagery in the lyrics came from this and things I remember seeing whilst I was there. I wrote the main chorus riff a good few years ago, a little bit inspired by Soundgarden's vibe, using octaves and giving it a groove. The drop in the middle of the song was more recent, written on an acoustic but translates well dropped down a notch or two with distortion and incredible band mates making it sound amazing. Hope you enjoy it! Cheers” - Jude

lyrics

Dragon in the air
Above the blackest water
Half man half horse
Stepping through the back door
Bloodshed
'Tween brother and brother

Pain at the foot of Good Mountain
Rage at the foot of Good Mountain

Lion Waits
See the clouds arising
Through the orchids
The handshakes and the smiles
Condor
Shadow on the rock face
Their eyes
Filled with gold and hatred

Pain at the foot of Good Mountain
Rage at the foot of Good Mountain

Betrayal

Pain at the foot of Good Mountain
Rage at the foot of Good Mountain
Pain at the foot of Good Mountain
Rage at the foot of Good Mountain
