Mountains of More
Opening with fingerpicked acoustic guitar tuned to 432hz, layered under airy ambient pads, the song introduces plaintive opera-inspired vocals. Sparse piano and gentle strings enrich the texture, with restrained indie folk percussion guiding the melancholic, poetic flow to an intimate outro.

Lyrics
Verse 1
We chase the shine, the latest trend,
A cycle that will never end.
A billion tons of trash each year,
The Earth is screaming, can’t you hear?
They took the jack, they sold the buds,
Built to break, it’s in their blood.
Light bulbs dim before their time,
Profit’s king, it’s by design. [Chorus]
Mountains of more, we’re buried alive,
Drowning in things we don’t need to survive.
Fresh air fades, clean water runs dry,
While we buy and we buy till the planet cries.
Verse 2
Anna walks through streets of waste,
A mirror held to our disgrace.
Six million tonnes of CO2 rise,
While greed blinds our weary eyes.
It’s profit over people, they don’t care,
Plastic oceans and poisoned air.
Relationships fade as screens glow bright,
We trade love for stuff on a silent night.
Bridge Soft and haunting
What if we stopped? What if we tried?
To fix what’s broken, not cast it aside?
To hold each other instead of things,
To find the joy that kindness brings?
Chorus : Stronger with harmonies
Mountains of more, we’re buried alive,
Drowning in things we don’t need to survive.
Fresh air fades, clean water runs dry,
While we buy and we buy till the planet cries.
Outro: Gentle fade-out
This holiday season, take a stand,
Hold a heart instead of a brand.
The world needs love it’s not too late,
To choose connection over fate.
