Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ain't no mountain high
Ain't no vally low
Ain't no river wide enough, baby
If you need me, call me
No matter where you are
No matter how far
I'll be there in a hurry
You don't have to worry
'Cause baby,
There ain't no mountain high enough
Ain't no valley low enough
Ain't no river wide enough
To keep me from getting to you
Remember the day
I set you free
I told you
You could always count on me
From that day on I made a vow
I'll be there when you want me
Some way,some how
'Cause baby,
There ain't no mountain high enough
Ain't no valley low enough
Ain't no river wide enough
To keep me from getting to you
No wind, no rain
My love is alive
Way down in my heart
Although we are miles apart
If you ever need a helping hand
I'll be there on the double
As fast as I can
Don't you know that
There ain't no mountain high enough
Ain't no valley low enough
Ain't no river wide enough
To keep me from getting to you
Don't you know that
There ain't no mountain high enough
Ain't no valley low enough
Ain't no river wide enough
The song Ain't No Mountain High Enough is a beautiful expression of love and support from one person to another. The lyrics are encouraging and reassuring, expressing the idea that no matter what obstacles come between them, the singer will be there to support and help the person they love. The song starts with an expression of how strong the singer's love is, saying that there is no mountain high enough, no valley low enough, and no river wide enough to keep them from helping their loved one. The singer then goes on to tell the person they love that they can always count on them, no matter where they are or how far away they are. The singer's pledge to be there for their loved one is further reinforced by reference to a promise made on the day they were set free. Finally, the singer reaffirms their love and support with the statement that no wind or rain can stop them from getting to their loved one when they need help.
The song has a nostalgic feel to it, maybe because the original version of it was released in 1967 by the American duo Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell. The song features elements of soul, R&B, and pop music. The Michael Bolton and Leona Lewis version of the song was released in 2013 and is a beautiful rendition of the classic song with a contemporary feel to it. The song has been used in various TV shows and movies like Guardians of the Galaxy and The Secret Life of Pets. The song has been used in various campaigns, and it was used in the London Olympics 2012 as the city's unofficial anthem.
