There are a number of artists called Mona.
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.

2. Monalisa "Mona" Lengkong is an Indonesian singer and rose her fame as finalist on Indonesian Idol Season 6.
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.
4. Mona is a pop-rock band originating from Helsinki, Finland.
They haven't signed a record-deal yet, but their song Virta has gotten loads of airtime in radio. Mona consists of singer Maija, guitarist Anssi, keyboardist Sami, basist Visu and drummer Tuomas. They were voted to Tulevaisuuden tusina 2011-list (a list in which Finland's most valued music-editors vote artists they think will make a break through in 2011.)

Torches & Pitchforks
Mona Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Torches and pitchforks and you know what this is
They cry, baby don't you know that you care and divide?
I pray on my knees just to go another day
Another day
Say what you need to say, you gotta get it right
Take some time like you used to
Just take some time
Oh no, middle finger up so you'd better go
I'll stay, burning night into the day
The day
Say what you need to say, you gotta get it right
Take some time like you used to
Say what you need to say, you gotta get it right
Just take some time
Don't you wanna say it like you used to?
Don't you wanna say it like you used to?
Don't you wanna say it like you used to?
Don't you wanna
Say, say what you need to say, you gotta get it right
You gotta take some time
Don't you wanna say it like you used to?
Don't you wanna say it like you used to?
Don't you wanna say it like you used to?
Don't you wanna say?
They come, middle finger up but we never run
Torches and pitchforks but you know it's okay
Okay
The lyrics of Mona's song "Torches & Pitchforks" are open to interpretation, but many have suggested that they explore themes of self-doubt and defiance in the face of judgment and hostility from others. The chorus urges the listener to speak their truth and take the time to express themselves fully, with lines like "Say what you need to say, you gotta get it right" and "Don't you wanna say it like you used to?" suggesting that the singer's confidence and self-expression have been stifled.
The opening lines evoke a sense of danger and threat, with the image of torches and pitchforks suggesting a hostile mob coming to do harm. However, the singer refuses to back down or run away, instead choosing to stand their ground and face the challenge head-on. The repeated refrain of "another day" suggests a sense of resignation or weariness, as if the singer is determined to keep pushing forward despite the difficulties they face.
