1. Mona are an indie rock band originally from Dayton, Ohio, now located in Nashville, Tennessee.
They play romantic rock n' roll songs for the 'city folk'. Their single ‘Listen to Your Love’ was recorded in their basement and was released on their own Zion Noiz recordings which came out in the United Kingdom on September 13th 2010. The band comprise of Nick Brown (vocals, guitar, keyboards), Vince Gard (drums), Zach Lindsey (bass), Jordan Young (guitar). According to Songfacts, they are named after Brown’s grandmother.

3. Mona were an indie rock band from Salt Lake City, Utah.
In Fall 2002, two musicians made a pact. To create music they loved without worrying about what anyone else thought. Hyrum Summerhays and Chad Dorton established Mona after a split with their band Elsewhere left them craving.
The two wanted to play music with simple melodies and moody lyrics reminiscent of Low, Red House Painters and Belle and Sebastian. Six months searching for the right singer turned-up Mandy Jeppsen, formerly of Gerald Music, and the concept was realized. Like a quiet moment listening through headphones, Mona's luscious unpretentiousness draws the ear inward, beckoning an audience to relax and just listen.

Shooting The Moon
Mona Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I got a bloodline looking for the root
Here you go now, now the choice is choose
Oh no man, you got something to lose
Acting funny like you have seen it all
You got a crown and I'm gonna knock it off
King of the castle, it's gonna fall fast though
I am, I am, I am shooting the moon
I am, I am, I am shooting the moon
I am, I am, I am shooting the moon
I am, I am, I am
I could write a line and you could mimic me
You want the same things stealing my identity
You like what I say, you like what you see
Oh no man, you got something to lose
I can see this is headed for a brawl
You can copy cat but you ain't cat at all
I'm pulling triggers and I'm gunning for it all
Oh no man, I got something to prove
I am, I am, I am shooting the moon
I am, I am, I am shooting the moon
I am, I am, I am shooting the moon
I am, I am, I am
All that you tried to hide
All that you buried inside
Will get you back, so watch your back
It'll get your back, man watch your back
All that you tried to deny
All of your velvet tongued lies
Will get you back, so watch your back,
It's coming soon, shooting the moon
I am, I am, I am just shooting the moon
I am, I am, I am you gotta get shooting the moon
I am, I am, I am shooting the moon
I am, I am, I am
You gotta go man the writing's on the wall
Trip into the room like you're headed for a fall
I ain't answering cause you didn't call
I'm pushing back cause my back's against the wall
Too soon it's the rising of the moon
You better pull the trigger, better pull it soon
You better pull the trigger baby, just shoot
You better pull the trigger baby, just shoot!
The lyrics of 'Shooting the Moon' by Mona depict confronting someone who is trying to imitate, mimic or steal somebody else's identity. The song explores the idea of being authentic and staying true to oneself, and how others' attempts to copy and imitate can be frustrating and detrimental. The verses describe the situation of facing someone who is acting like they have seen it all, and that they have everything under control. The singer, in this case, is, however, not intimidated and has a determination to prove his originality.
The chorus, "I am shooting the moon," is repeated several times throughout the song, and the phrase is a metaphorical expression about taking risks and aiming high. It represents the idea of going above and beyond what is expected and striving for greatness. The lyrics also warn the imitator about the potential consequences of their actions, saying everything that they tried to hide or deny will catch up with them someday.
Overall, 'Shooting the Moon' by Mona is an empowerment anthem encouraging people to stay true to themselves, be unique, and aim high in life.

Here are some songs to check out! Mona is a unique band so I wouldn’t say they’re exactly the same. But they are in ‘similar’ categories in that they have the potential to get you revved up, and some of them are too sexy not to listen to! Here:
-‘Horns’ and ‘Voodoo’ are two of my favourites by Bryce Fox.
-‘I feel like I’m Drowning’ and ‘Quick Musical Doodles by Two Feet are two of my favourite song by them but they have many good ones. The second one is pretty chill but still excellent.
-MISSIO is a great band to check out. Very dark sound but gets me excited and everyone I’ve shown it to loved it as well.
-‘Breaking Free’ by 1985
-Until The Ribbon Breaks is a GREAT band. Check out ‘Goodnight America’ and ‘A Taste of Silver’ before anything else!
‘Dangerous’ by Royal Deluxe is a VERY sexy song and is definitely in this category!!
- ‘Get What I Cane For’ by The Phantoms is 🔥 🔥 🔥
- Cage The Elephant is similar to Mona. Their song ‘Ain’t No Rest For The Wicked’ is pretty well known but if you haven’t heard it then give it a listen!
- THE BLACK KEYS. Almost EVERY song 😆 ‘Gold On The Ceiling’ and ‘Howlin’ For You’ are two of my favourites though!!
Anyhow I think that’s good for now 😊 Sspecially since you posted this request 2 years ago already.. lol if you actually see this and listen to these and like them let me know, there’s a LOT more where those came from! (Kind is a music fanatic 😉)
Happy listening!!
