| | King Of The Mountain Lyrics | |
| | What it's about: A lament about the loneliness and the loss of innocence and anonymity one suffers when they become famous. (But after seeing the video, it could just be "a song about Elvis"...) | |
| | Running time: 4:45 | |
| | Etc: King Of The Mountain marked Kate's return from a 9 year, 4 month drought. It was her first new material since Mná na hÉireann in May, 1996. | |
| | Etc2: It was an even longer drought for US fans. Her last release on this side of the Atlantic was The Man I Love (11 years, 2 months earlier). | |
| | Etc3: US fans were treated to this disc at a private listening party in New York. The rest were sent to radio stations around the country, but the single failed to chart. | |
