Overview
"Over the Mountain" is a reworking of Cuomo's previous demo, "Et Tu Brute," with new verse lyrics. It was demoed several times by Cuomo in 2004 at S.I.R. Rehearsal Studios in Los Angeles[1] before evolving into the song "They Are Stupid." The song was first heard by fans in November of 2020, when it was among hundreds of demos leaked through the demo storefront on riverscuomo.com. The demos were made available for purchase later that month as part of the demo compilation Alone IX: The Make Believe Years.
