Vince Gill<\/strong> has plenty to celebrate amid the 30th anniversary of his hit song \u201cGo Rest High on That Mountain.\u201d<\/p>\n The country singer, 68, debuted two versions of the beloved track on the Billboard<\/em> Country Digital Song Sales chart<\/a>. After a 242 percent spike in sales, the original ranked at No. 8 on the list dated September 27, which accounts for the number of downloads sold during the week ending on September 18. Meanwhile, \u201cGo Rest High on That Mountain (Extended Version)\u201d reached No. 5 on the chart.<\/p>\n Gill released the extended cut<\/a> of the song earlier this month to mark the original\u2019s 30th anniversary. The updated version \u2014 which Gill sang with Lainey Wilson<\/strong><\/a> during the \u201cIn Memoriam\u201d segment of the 2025 Primetime Emmy Awards \u2014 includes a third verse that he first performed live at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, Tennessee, in 2019. Prior to the extended recording, fans were only able to hear the added lyrics during live shows.<\/p>\n \ud83c\udfac <\/strong>SIGN UP for Parade’s Daily newsletter to get the latest pop culture news & celebrity interviews delivered right to your inbox<\/strong><\/a> \ud83c\udfac<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cYou\u2019re safely home in the arms of Jesus \/ Eternal life, my brother\u2019s found \/ The day will come I know I\u2019ll see him \/ In that sacred place, on that holy ground,\u201d Gill sings in the third verse.<\/p>\n In 2019, Gill explained his decision to add more lyrics to the hit.<\/p>\n \u201cAs I looked at it as a piece of work, I thought it was unfinished in a way that a song should close the door and have an end and tell the whole story,\u201d he told People<\/em> at the time. \u201cI think it makes the song a lot better.\u201d<\/p>\n Gill wrote the first verse of \u201cGo Rest High on That Mountain\u201d after Keith Whitley\u2019s<\/strong> 1989 death. However, he did not finish the song until after his brother, Bob<\/strong>, died of a heart attack in 1993.<\/p>\n Gill ultimately released the track in August 1995. That December, it peaked at No. 14 on Billboard<\/em>\u2019s Hot Country Songs chart. Earlier this month, the hit was certified double platinum.<\/p>\n This story was originally reported by Parade<\/a> on Sep 23, 2025, where it first appeared in the News<\/a> section.
