105: The End... as a Beginning

Singing Mountain is back. I said it would be back and I meant it. And to contrast this new run of the show from what I left you all on months ago, I decided to put out something a little more hopeful. Do you know that particular kind of video game ending where you see your character cruising toward the horizon, bad guys vanquished in their wake, and there’s maybe a sunset or something, and the music sounds like the end of an 80s movie? Yeah, this episode is all about that.

If you want to listen to the tracks from this episode minus my commentary but plus some of the selections didn’t make the final cut, Patreon suppporters paying just $1 can also get the mixtape version of this episode in their feeds.
