1) Mountain Man is an American hardcore band from Massachusetts featuring members of I Rise and Last Lights..
Beginning in 2009, Mountain Man produced a self-released demo and subsequently signed a deal with indie label, Mightier Than Sword. The 10” EP “One.” was released in March 2010. The record showcased the band’s influences from genre pioneers like Neurosis to modern metallic heros like Converge.
Think Fast! co-owner Larry Scott comments on the signing, saying “To be able to have a hand in helping Mountain Man develop, grow, and get their music out to kids worldwide is why we started this label. The fact that they are hardworking and motivated, on top of being one of the best newer bands we’ve heard, sealed the deal for us.”
Drummer Patrick Murphy adds, “since the formation of Mountain Man, Think Fast! have been big supporters and people we could reach out to if we ever needed help in anyway. When they asked us if we wanted to release a record with them the answer was an obvious one. It truly feels like Ryan and Larry both want our band to succeed as much as we do, and they have faith in us to let us make the record we want to make.”
Since the release of “One.”, Mountain Man toured with Soul Control (Bridge 9), followed by a five-week US headline run to support their record.
Murphy notes, “We are excited to finish writing, record the new album, and see what the future holds for Mountain Man. We couldn’t ask for a better situation to be in.”
The album "The Flower Moon" was released in 2019.

2) Mountain Man is an American folk trio from Bennington, Vermont, comprising Amelia Meath, Molly Sarle, and Alex Sauser-Monnig. They often sing a cappella.
There's a fragile balance between the three very different styles and personalities in the three women. They are all songwriters, and having all three approaches with the same treatment on the same album is really satisfying. There is Alex's guitar based songs, with deep, slow moving roots. Amelia, writing for voices alone, creates rising complicated lattice structures. Molly also writes for guitar, but with space for more weight, drama, and tension.
They started singing together in the spring of 2009. They released a limited self-titled album, Mountain Man, followed by Made The Harbor (2010), Magic Ship (2018)

Mountain Man Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ella es rockin ′ese valle abajo
Cambie de nuevo a la cima con los ojos vendados,
Bummin 'abajo en la parte superior de mis pulmones
Gritando sin
Recién salido de un testero, oh
Convertido en una caída libre.
Voy a dejarlo para la mañana en el más allá
Y ella es bebida por el día
Apuesto a que ella se siente lo mismo por la noche
Estoy bebiendo en un poco de sol
Voy a dejarlo para la mañana en el más allá
Y ella es bebida por el día
Apuesto a que considera que la misma ya no
Estoy sentado en la cima de una colina
Hay un camino de sentido único que es un-Takin ′a casa
Subiendo a la cima con los ojos vendados,
Bummin 'abajo en la parte superior de mis pulmones
Gritando sin
Recién salido de un testero, oh
Convertido en una caída libre.
Estoy bebiendo en un poco de sol
Voy a dejarlo para la mañana en el más allá
Y ella es bebida por el día
Apuesto a que ella se siente lo mismo por la noche
Estoy bebiendo en un poco de sol
Voy a dejarlo para la mañana en el más allá
Y ella es bebida por el día
Apuesto a que considera que la misma ya no
Estoy bebiendo un poco de sol
Voy a dejarlo para la mañana en la otra vida,
Y están borrachos por el día
Apuesto a que se siente lo mismo
Apuesto a que se siente lo mismo
Estoy bebiendo un poco de sol
Voy a dejarlo para la mañana en la otra vida,
Y ella es bebida por el día
Apuesto a que ella se siente lo mismo
Apuesto a que ella se siente lo mismo, sí
Woooo
Apuesto a que ella se siente lo mismo
Apuesto a que se siente sólo el sí mismo
Apuesto a que ella se siente lo mismo, ya no.
The lyrics of Mountain Man's Fish tell a story of a person sitting at the top of a mountain and feeling the rush of adrenaline as they jump off the top and free-fall. They express the feeling of being alive, the excitement of taking risks and of letting go of control. They also describe a relationship with another person who seems to live life in the same way, drinking in the sun and living day by day, unburdened by expectations or plans for the future. They share an understanding that comes from a shared appreciation of these fleeting moments of freedom and joy.
At a deeper level, Fish seems to express the human yearning for transcendence, the desire to escape the confines of the everyday and experience a sense of freedom and growth. The mountains and the leap of faith represent the boundaries of the self, the fears and doubts that hold us back. The sun and the drinks represent the moments of joy and release that we can find if we are willing to take risks and go beyond our habits and routines.
Overall, Fish is a poetic expression of the human desire for adventure, freedom, and connection, and an affirmation of the beauty and value of living in the moment.
