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)

Honeybee
Mountain Man Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
oh my sweet honeybee
let us sing a song to thee
oh my sweet honeybee
you are the one we've been waiting for
you are the dark, you are the boy
so sit, my dear, and please prepare
sit in the golden air
oh my sweet honeybee
was two fair maidens in front of me
oh my sweet honeybee
The lyrics of Mountain Man's Honeybee are simple but have a deeper meaning. The song is addressed to a person, referred to as the "honeybee", who appears to be the center of attention. The first two lines repeat the request to sing a song to the addressee, emphasizing their importance. The next sentence "you are the one we've been waiting for" suggests the person may be someone special, and this is further emphasized by the lines "you are the dark, you are the boy". This could be interpreted as the person being a symbol of change or a personification of something, like an idea.
The next lines "so sit, my dear, and please prepare, sit in the golden air" suggest that the person should take a moment to relax and prepare for something important. It could be that this something is related to the appearance of the two fair maidens, which the singer encounters while out walking. The inclusion of this event adds a new dimension to the lyrics, as it could be interpreted as a contrast between the honeybee and these two fair maidens. Perhaps the honeybee is someone who is different, and their unique qualities are what make them so special.
Overall, the song seems to be a tribute to the uniqueness of the honeybee and hints at the possibility of significant change or an important event approaching.

Every time i listen to them... I'm conflicted between bliss from the wonderful sound, and frustration in that they aren't still together.
