“Mountain Song” is an ambitious yet vulnerable song. Ambitious, because it’s about big dreams. Vulnerable, because it’s about fear.

Through poignant lyrics and passionate performances, Gunshot Blue invites audiences to reflect on their own personal journeys and find solace in the face of adversity. The song’s universal message of perseverance and inner strength is conveyed with authenticity and vulnerability, hallmark qualities of Gunshot Blue’s songwriting.
