Ain't No Mountain High Enough
Written By: Valerie Simpson & Nickolas Ashford
Artist: Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell
Released: 1967
“Ain’t No Mountain High Enough” marked the first collaboration between soul artists Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell in terms of releases. It was the first single from their debut album United where it also appeared as the opening track on the record. Although they kept their relationship as professional as could be, the two were practically inseparable with most describing them as “brother and sister.” At Terrell’s funeral after her tragic death at the mere age of 24, her mother barred everyone at Motown from attending except Gaye (who also delivered the eulogy) as she felt he was her only friend there. Perhaps there really was no mountain, valley or river that could ever come between them. The song was listed by writers of the UK publication NME as one of the Top 150 Singles of All Time, and the song was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 1999. The song would go on to be covered by dozens of artists, including Diana Ross, The Supremes and The Temptations, as well as the songwriters Ashford & Simpson among others.
[Verse 1]
Listen, baby
Ain't no mountain high
Ain't no valley low
Ain't no river wide enough, baby
If you need me, call me
No matter where you are
No matter how far
Don't worry, baby
Just call my name
I'll be there in a hurry
You don't have to worry
'Cause, baby, there
[Chorus]
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, babe
[Verse 2]
Remember the day I set you free
I told you you could always count on me, darling
From that day on, I made a vow
I'll be there when you want me, someway, somehow
Oh, baby, there
[Chorus]
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, babe
[Bridge]
Oh no, darling
No wind, no rain
Or winter's cold
Can stop me, baby (No, no, baby)
'Cause you are my goal
If you're ever in trouble
I'll be there on the double
Just send for me, oh, baby, ha
[Verse 3]
My love is alive (Woo)
Way down in my heart
Although we are miles apart
If you ever need a helping hand
I'll be there on the double
Just as fast as I can
Don't you know that there
[Chorus]
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, baby
Don't you know that there
Ain't no mountain high enough
Ain't no valley low enough
Ain't no river wide enough
Ain't no mountain high enough
Ain't no valley low enough
Accidentally in Love
Written By: Adam Duritz, Dan Vickrey, David Bryson, David Immergluck & Matthew Malley
Artist: Counting Crows
Released: 2004
“I was really struggling with it. I generally don’t write songs on demand, and I almost got to the point where I thought I wasn’t going to do it. They just told me that the song had to be uplifting. They actually said, ‘Don’t write a song about Shrek. Write a song that’s about you.’ The funny thing is, the song ended up reflecting a lot of what was going on in my life at the time: falling in love with someone you’re not supposed to fall in love with because it’s inconvenient. My songs for Counting Crows are mature and generally don’t get a chance to reach kids. To be part of something like that is pretty cool.” – Adam Duritz via Billboard
[Verse 1]
So, she said, "What's the problem, baby?"
What's the problem? I don't know
Well, maybe I'm in love (Love)
Think about it
Every time I think about it
Can't stop thinking 'bout it
How much longer will it take to cure this?
Just to cure it, 'cause I can't ignore it if it's love (Love)
Makes me wanna turn around and face me
But I don't know nothin' 'bout love, uh
[Chorus]
Come on, come on
Turn a little faster
Come on, come on
The world will follow after
Come on, come on
Because everybody's after love
[Verse 2]
So I said, I'm a snowball runnin'
Runnin' down into the spring that's comin'
All this love meltin' under blue skies
Belting out sunlight, shimmering love
Well, baby, I surrender
To this strawberry ice cream
Never-ever-ender
All this love
Well, I didn't mean to do it
But there's no escaping your love, oh
[Bridge]
These lines of lightnin' mean we're never alone
Never alone
No, no
[Chorus]
Come on, come on
Move a little closer
Come on, come on
I wanna hear you whisper
Come on, come on
Settle down inside my love, ohh
Come on, come on
Jump a little higher
Come on, come on
If you feel a little lighter
Come on, come on
We were once upon a time in love
[Post-Chorus]
We're accidentally in love, accidentally in love
Accidentally in love, accidentally in love
Accidentally in love, accidentally in love
Accidentally in love, accidentally in love
Accidentally, I'm in love, I'm in love
[Refrain]
I'm in love, I'm in love
I'm in love, I'm in love
Accidentally, I'm in love, I'm in love
I'm in love, I'm in love
I'm in love, I'm in love
Accidentally
[Chorus]
Come on, come on (Come on)
Spin a little tighter
Come on, come on (Come on)
And the world's a little brighter
Come on, come on (Come on)
Just get yourself inside her love
I'm in love

“Gone with the wind, flying out with the crow”
-
Meet Crowe! She’s a ghouls from the capital Wasteland that traveled to the commonwealth in search of raiders that took out her previous gang. She travels will Nick Valentine and they go on wacky adventures. They hate each other
-
Crowe travels along with a crow named Marvin and he alerts her of trouble nearby and picks up trinkets and cigarettes for her
-
She is VERY anti Brotherhood and supports the Minutemen. Morals get greyed out a little as she is a “it’s you or me” type person.
-
I hope y’all love her and I’ll draw more of her so you can get to know her more! I’d love questions!
(Here she is without Marvin)
