Another Mangled Interpretation of a Classic Song


Listen to Magic Mountain on streaming


God I just LOVE this song!

And War with Eric Burdon is an absolute favorite. So many cool songs… and then we came along and did this!

There is a mountain and it is magic. It smells like the invading pine beetle and regret and something fried. This song take three minutes and eighteen seconds to really understand what’s up there. Maybe just stop resisting it, the way you stop resisting a hill once you realize you’re already halfway up it and going back down would be its own kind of exercise.

I remembered this song when I was at a party and someone said “it’s all Magic Mountain from here.” Before my brain had started building a chalet, I took note that this was a song that needed an update.

This is a song for anyone who has ever climbed something imaginary just to feel their legs burn. It’s for the summit you built out of nothing but positive vibes and sharing something magic with a lover, Baby! Put it on when you’re tired of being at sea level. Put it on when you want to believe there’s a chairlift somewhere with your name already on the ticket, waiting.

We love you, don’t hate us.
