“The Mountain and the Wave” is twenty-first
century Doors, with a female Jim Morrison. The lyrics are intelligent and poetry-influenced,
the song’s persona harbors darkness, and the flow is artistically uneven.
Third Girl From The Left was born in South
Devon, England. Her music is accurately described as a mix of avant pop and alt-folk rock melodrama. She
says that “The Mountain and the Wave” was inspired by the little-known Greek
myth Tyro:
“I discovered the story through an artwork by Scotland's Margaret MacDonald. It tells the story of a married woman racked with desire for the river god Enipeus, but is tricked and seduced by a disguised, lust fueled, Poseidon. For me it explores the power of addiction and how taking back that power must come from within.”

Lyrics of “The Mountain and The Wave” by Third Girl From The Left
Poor wounded woman
How could she resist?
Consumed by a hunger
That clung to her lips
Pulled by a line
That was drawn in the sand
She gave into something
She could not have planned
Persistent, the distance, the danger, the thrill
A flicker ignited a battle of will
She made for the shoreline
Breathed in resigned
As she parted her mouth
So the poison entwined
No, No, No Tyro
No, No, No Tyro
No Tyro, Tyro
Who was the mountain?
Who was the wave?
Twisted and reckless
Did not wish to be saved
Fighting for solace
Consumed by the force
Run deep, wide and open
Let the river take course
Now the heat kept on rising
The cool waters soothed
Resistance was futile
There was nothing she could do
And then from the summit
Release from within
Unveiled the stranger shook
Watery skin
The demon was dead.
The demon was dead that lived inside her head
[Repeating]
The demon was dead that lived inside her head
