“THE BOAT”
I, the Mountain
Fresh from the studio, I, the Mountain is excited to share a brand new summer anthem.
Inspired by Alistair MacLeod’s classic short story of the same name, our song “The Boat” is embedded with East Coast sound and imagery. In its earlier form, the song told the tale of a poor family subsisting in a rural Atlantic fishing town, but, with the help of Simon Ward, lead singer of The Strumbellas, it became an anthem of hope, persistence, and empowerment.
The moment we tell ourselves we’ve ‘made it’ is the moment we stop trying. “The Boat” is a call to action. To be “Halfway There” means to always be searching, growing, and reaching for something new.
We are recording our debut album this summer and we can’t wait to impress you with it later in 2019!
I, the Mountain dances the finest lines between indie, folk, and pop traditions. With music that blends rich harmonies and soaring choruses with natural and eclectic themes, I, the Mountain has carved out it’s own unique niche the Canadian music scene.
