This song is from our theatrical project THE GOLDEN SPIKE. The piece is about the Transcontinental Railroad and explores issues of industrialization, immigration, and what it means to be called "American.” "Golden Mountain" was what Chinese workers called America when they traveled to the west in search of gold. We wrote this song as an anthem for the marginalized dreamers of the past, present, and future.
