"Go Rest High on That Mountain" is a song written and recorded by American country music artist Vince Gill.
"Go Rest High on That Mountain" is a tribute to Vince Gill's step brother who has died recently before the song was composed.
[1] It is composed in the key of D major with a slow tempo, largely following the chord pattern D-G-D-A-D.[2] Gill added a third verse in December 2019 saying “Yeah, it doesn’t make much sense, does it?” he told People.
But in my heart, I think this makes it better.”[3] Country music singer Carrie Underwood covered the song from the television special CMT Giants: Vince Gill.
Filmed at the Ryman Auditorium in downtown Nashville, it features Gill performing the song (accompanied by Loveless and Skaggs on the choruses) while images of nature such as mountains, forests, and sunrises play on screens behind him.
