Lately, it's taken 1.5 hours to drive to work. So I've got some extra thinking time:
I was trying to come up with a list of songs or song titles that could be construed as climbing-related. Can you add to the list?
"Hold on Loosely, but Don't Let Go" - 38 Special
"Halfway Up the Mountain" - Roger Whittaker
"We will Rock You" - Queen
"Free Falling" - Tom Petty
"Rocky Mountain High" - John Denver
"I want to be Up There" - South Park Movie

I think every song is climbing related... just that some times the message is hidden and obscure. you just have to dig for it

Midnight Oil - King of the Mountain
Thats all i can think of at the moment.
get back to you.
Reckon you're right though, the meaning is often hidden and obscure.

The Bear Song by Green Jelly (From the Dumb & Dumber Soundtrack ) OR
Down With The Sickness by Disturbed (Monkey sound is perfect for climbing anyways)

"Travelin' Light" By Widespread Panic. Or covered by... Since it's actually a J.J. Cale tune.

Or how about "Surprise Valley".
Oh, kiss the mountain air we breathe
Good-bye it's time to fly.
Sparrow climb, the air is thinner,
Open wings cast this valley in the shade.
Fires dance the shadows
Winds whisper the trees
Mother talkin' the water's
Spirit moves, it moves through all things.
Oh, kiss the mountain air we breathe
Good-bye it's time to fly.
Sparrow climb, the air is thinner,
Open wings cast this valley in the shade.
Fires dance the shadows
Winds whisper the trees
Mother talkin' the water's
Spirit moves, it moves through all things.
