ASSIGNMENT 2: YOUR FAVORITE SONG EVER!

My favorite song ever is “Ain´t No Mountain High Enough” by Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell. Tammi Terrell (April 29, 1945 – March 16, 1970) was a Grammy Award-nominated American soul singer, that initially recorded alone, with only moderate success.

However, from 1967 she recorded a series of duets with Marvin Gaye, producing hits with Ashford & Simpson written tunes such as "Ain't No Mountain High Enough". Once she was paired with Gaye, her star rose, but in the fall of that year she collapsed on stage into Gaye's arms during a performance. She was then diagnosed with a brain tumor which eventually led to her death at the age of 24.

Marvin Gaye ( April 2, 1939 – April 1, 1984) was an iconic two-time Grammy-winning American singer, songwriter, composer, multi-instrumentalist, and record producer who gained international fame as an artist on the Motown record label in the 1960s and 1970s.

That song is a love song, because it talks about no mather the distance, he will go to help her, whenever she needs him. ¡¡¡Love is stronger!!!. But it´s not only the love that a man gives to a woman, because it could be a mother-child love.

This song means very much to me, because its words remind me lots of moments with my boyfriend. There´s sometimes when we are into the car, when we listen this song and we sing it out loud until it ends.

AIN'T NO MOUNTAIN HIGHER ENOUGH

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 ain't no mountain high enough

Ain't no valley low enough

Ain't no river wide enough

To keep me from you gettin' to you, baby
Remember the day I set you free

I told you you could always count on me, darlin'

From that day on I made a vow

I'll be there when you want me, some way, some how
'Cause baby, there ain't no mountain high enough

Ain't no valley low enough

Ain't no river wide enough

To keep me from you gettin' to you, baby
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, huh

My love is alive (Hoo), way down in my heart

Although we are miles apart

If you ever need a helpin' hand, I'll be there on the double

Just as best as I can
Don't you know that there ain't no mountain high enough

Ain't no valley low enough Ain't no river wide enough

To keep me from you gettin' 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
