Those 'MOUNTAIN HIGH' Song Lyrics

[Boogiedown]

Had always thought Spector's 1966 RIVER DEEP MOUNTAIN HIGH lyrics preceded Ashford and Simpson's AIN'T NO MOUNTAIN HIGH/Valley Low theme and likely inspired it, but hadn't thought about it much beyond that.

Was listening to I WILL FOLLOW HIM by Peggy March and realized the same "ocean deep, mountain high" idea was in those lyrics from 1963.





So there are likely other examples of this high/low metaphor being used in songs ??

Also
interestingly, I WILL FOLLOW HIM's lyrics were applied to an already existing 1961, instrumental release :




the lyrics were developed by Arthur Altman with Norman Gimbel.
