The Mountain's High
Dick Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The mountains high and the valleys so deep
Cant get across to the other si-hi-hi-hi-hi-hi-hi-hi-hide
Dont ya give up baby, dont you cry
Dont ya give up till I reach the other si-hi-hi-hi-hi-hi-hide
I was lonely baby, I couldnt sleep
The night they took you from my si-hi-hi-hi-hi-hide
I was a lonely soul
Until you became my goal
And then I saw the spark of love
And then the stars fell from (up above OH YEAH!)
I know someday we will meet again
But I dont know exactly where or whe-he-he-he-he-he-he-hen
But baby, if fate has its way
Well meet again some other day-aaaaaaaaaayyyy
The mountains high and the valleys so deep
Cant get across to the other si-hi-hi-hi-hi-hi-hi-hide
Dont ya give up baby, dont you cry
Dont ya give up till I reach the other si-hi-hi-hi-hi-hi-hi-hide
Hoo hoo hoo hoo (I know it to I tell ya)
Hoo hoo hoo hoo (I know it to I tell ya)
I know, I know hoo hoo hoo hoo
FADES-
I know, I know hoo hoo hoo hoo
The valleys deep baby.......
The lyrics to Dick & Dee Dee's song The Mountain's High speak of the power of love and the determination to be reunited with a loved one. The repeated phrase "The mountain's high and the valleys so deep, can't get across to the other side" symbolizes the struggles and obstacles that come with being separated from a loved one. The singer pleads with their partner to not give up hope and to continue to hold on until they are reunited. The lyrics also speak to the loneliness and heartache that comes with the absence of a loved one, as the singer describes their own inability to sleep after their partner was taken away.
The chorus of the song emphasizes the singer's determination to overcome any obstacle in the way of their reunion. The repetition of "Don't ya give up baby, don't ya cry, Don't ya give up till I reach the other side" highlights the persistence and unwavering love that the singer has for their partner. The song expresses a deep longing for connection and a belief that fate will one day bring the lovers back together.

I was 14 when this came out. I thought it was bloody brilliant then and nothing has changed my mind - I’m now 75.

I remember dancing to this at our 8th grade dances. This song is a great example of the rock and roll we listened to. Brings back a lot of great memories.

This record has haunted me since I first heard it on my transistor radio in the mid-1960s, when it was already an "oldie", and I was an early teenager. One minute I think it's a basic '60s disc to the point of primitive; the next I think it's a brilliant capturing of mountain folk and vocals filtered through rock/pop. Sometimes the lyrics sound simple and obvious, but every year I hear them more as far-reaching and timeless. Maybe it's me, but thanks for posting and thanks Dick and Dee Dee.

A wonderful post, that was my experience with this song as well. It did seem like an instant 'oldie' existing out of time. It was only a few years ago I realized this was white artists, for 50 years I assumed Dick & DeeDee were black... the band rocks and the vocals are so soulful.
Carla Taylor
Perfect description of how this song has affected me.

Wow. Me too. Summer 1961 I was shipped out to a boyscout camp on Catalina Island. I was the youngest at the camp andso was abused by the older boys. My only solace was the rock and roll I was introduced to by the mafia who ran the camp. On KFWB channel 98. This song was imprinted on my brain. And looking back upon it, it is massive.

Me, too. I think that this song is TIMELESS. AND......it is HAUNTINGLY CAPTIVATING
