The Ghost Of The Mountain Lyrics

The Ghost Of The Mountain

Vocalist Gary Lightbody explained the album's "ghost" references to The Sun: "The first song I wrote for the album was the title track and the male character dies in that song, so I thought, s---, what do I do now? I've just killed him' So each song is about a memory of their lives."

"I guess it's a little haunted," he added, "ghosts just keep popping up. I didn't consciously add the word, it just appeared naturally a number of times."

"By the end of the recording, the first track I wrote was the obvious title track as it seemed to link everything together."

The Ghost Of The Mountain album was recorded at producer Jacknife Lee's home studio in Topanga Canyon in California. The view from the locale graces the LP's cover.

This Gospel-Soul song is so crushingly sad that Lightbody claims to have broken down and cried after he'd written it.

Every song on The Ghost Of The Mountain album is a chapter in the story of two lovers on the run from the law. Gary Lightbody explained to MTV News: "The first album was written about invented characters and this album continues their story. Each song picks them up at different points in their life, so in terms of narrative storytelling it's sort of like Tarantino."

"It's an American story," he added: "A boy and a girl, that met in the first song of the first album, who have been through hell and back."

All Things All At Once Lyrics

In those days, we were lions
In those days, we were kings
It's not one thing or the other
It's All Things All At Once

Ooh, I will love you better than him [x5]

OOooh [x6]

And these wings aren't for flying
These wings are just for show
It's years since I've been flying
I'm down to the earth

Ooh, I will love you better than him [x5]

OOooh [x6]

In those days we were lions
In those days we were kings

All Things All At Once

This is the lead single from Tired Pony's second album, The Ghost Of The Mountain. The song was written by frontman Gary Lightbody at 3am after the band had celebrated the conclusion of the recording sessions. He penned the tune from start to finish in the same time it takes to play. It was added the next day when producer Jacknife Lee remarked upon hearing it, "Well, we have to record this."

The song features a vocal contribution from Minnie Driver. Best known as an actress in such films as Good Will Hunting, Driver was a member of a band called Puff, Rocks and Brown early in her career. She signed a solo contract with EMI and Rounder Records in 2001, charting in her native UK with two singles. "Everything I've Got in My Pocket" reached #34, "Invisible Girl" peaked at #68.
