Name: Mt Analogue St
Duration: P00H03M21S
Description: Rene Daumal wrote a moving, amusing, and confusing book, Mount Analogue, in which there is an expedition to find a mountain that is so tall that the top can’t be seen. Why might someone want to take the journey up the mountain? Step after step plodding up the mountain, trusting that even though no one has seen the peak, that it’s actually there.

lyrics

the air is stirring, though I can't see it
in place of reason we've empty shelves
passing pilgrims and hurried hikers
a fountain following feet and faith

I don't believe there can be a peak
I don't believe I can try and mount a search
I do not search for my belief
I don't resign to believe in no endings.

Eyes open, to build all the math
Clouds parting, our feet find the path
Plot the points / test the grace of each step

fill the sky with our thoughts and struggles
street past street til we find the void
twisting boulevards lead to fuller dreams and east-euclidean fantasies

I try to be careful
I try and be cautious
I will be safer than most of them
But still things happen
to mountain believers
no malice, failing, or negligence to defend
