"Mountain" is a song recorded by Australian rock group, Chocolate Starfish. The song was released in February 1994 as the third single from their self-titled debut studio album (1994).

In a 2012 interview, band member Adam Thompson said; “I remember when we actually wrote "Mountain", we’d recorded "You're So Vain" and we’d written a whole bunch of other songs and we were looking for another single. Zoran (Romich) had come up with a couple of chords and I was playing this game where I was running back from the gym, trying not to step on the cracks in the pavement... and suddenly the rhythm that I was running or jogging sort of fitted, and I had that chord going on in the background and I thought ‘Gee, that’s a good melody.’ And when I got back, virtually within a night, we’d written "Mountain"and we knew straight away that it was going to be a hit single. We just knew."

Thompson added; "And as for the lyric, I was over in L.A. with the band and left my girlfriend at home and she said ‘I don’t want you to tour anymore. When you come home, I want you to stay with me and get a normal job and to be a responsible boyfriend.’ And this was obviously my dream for eight or nine years to be in a band and the passion that I was trying to find and when I was writing the song, the metaphor of the mountain and the river just came to me. She wanted me to stay still, like a mountain, an immovable force and I felt like a river that was just meandering and finding its destiny. The guys and I just looked at it and said ‘Yep, that’s gonna work.’ and, of course, it did."^[1]
