Prinz Grizzley “A Mountain To Be Tamed (The Struggling).”
Americana Highways brings you this premiere of Prinz Grizzly’s song “A Mountain To Be Tamed (The Struggling) from his forthcoming album Tidal, which is set for release on October 5. The album was arranged and produced by C.H.Comper and co-produced by Anton Loitsch. It was recorded, mixed and mastered by Anton Loitsch at Nautilus Studios, in Dornbirn Austria. This song will be available on September 3.
“A Mountain To Be Tamed (The Struggling)” is Prinz Grizzley on vocals, acoustic guitar, bass organ, and keys; Johannes Bischof on pedal steel guitar; and Martin Grabherr on drums.
Prinz Grizzley tells us a little about the song: “With ‘A Mountain To Be Tamed,” we step away from outer nature and look deep into our own abyss. The mountain that needs to be tamed here isn’t made of rock and ice—it lives entirely inside the mind. It is arguably the most intimate and psychological song on the album. Musically, this battle is mirrored in the dynamics: it begins completely stripped-back and intimate in an indie-folk style, only to erupt into an orchestral explosion later on. Visually, I always have one specific image in mind: sitting in pitch darkness, when suddenly light breaks through a hairline fracture in a shard of glass. This song captures the exact moment you decide to stop running from your own demons and finally face the fight.”
Prinz Grizzley can really sing, as his vocals are expanded and magnified like echoes across the mountains this video is shot in. This is a song that grabs your attention and asks you to think, and feel, the struggles in life.
Nightmares again, leaving soaked sheets,
A reflection that shatters my self-confidence.
Too weak to change, and when I gather strength,
Fate turns its back.
Lost in a spiral—hope at the top, defeat at the bottom—
I find myself yearning for connection.
I need someone—a divine presence, a human touch.
I long for life, and I want to live.
It’s not about charming the gatekeeper;
It’s about finding the gate.
