"Take me somewhere greener than these empty streets
Where the mountains grow
I need something deeper in the air I breathe
Where it feels like home"

You can take the gal out of the Caucasuses, but you can't take the Caucasuses out of the gal.

Having been around since the turn of the century, Biffy Clyro built a loyal audience from their stage shows. "Mountains" was their biggest hit, a loud rock song about how the singer and his companion are inseparable, like the mountain and the sea.

A 2008 single.

"Mountains" is an avalanche of noise, claps and snares and shouts. As we'll find a lot of people do, Prince uses "mountain" as a shorthand for adversity, something to conquer.

The video was shot in Nice, around the time of footage for Prince's film "Under the Cherry Moon"; there's a cameo from Kristin Scott Thomas.

Second single from the 1986 album "Parade".
