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 ↴
I climb up to be astounded
By the window of the sea
I climb up, I may have found it
But I was lost, I was bored
By the thought of wanting more
I was lost, I was bored
I demand you
Be here with me, a light in the quiet of the morning
Be here with me, alive in the quiet of the morning
The lyrics to Mountain Man's song "Window" speak to the idea of searching for something more in life, possibly through a connection with nature. The first two lines allude to climbing up to a window and being "astounded" by what one sees. The mention of the "window of the sea" suggests a connection to the ocean, which is often seen as a powerful and mysterious force.
The next two lines suggest a feeling of dissatisfaction or restlessness, as if the singer is searching for something more in life. This feeling is compounded by the repetition of the line "I was lost, I was bored / By the thought of wanting more". This repetition highlights the singer's sense of longing and uncertainty.
The final lines of the song are an appeal for companionship, or at least the presence of another person. The use of the phrase "a light in the quiet of the morning" suggests a desire for comfort or guidance, perhaps even spiritual guidance. Overall, the song seems to speak to the human need for connection and the desire to find something greater than oneself.

By the window in me
I am looking inward through the 'window' of my mind
I climb up to be astounded
I am surprised and amazed by what I find within myself
By the window of the sea
I am looking out at the vastness of the ocean through a physical window
I climb up, I may have found it
I am hopeful that I have discovered something meaningful through my contemplation
But I was lost, I was bored
Before I began this introspection, I felt aimless and uninterested in life
By the thought of wanting more
I was dissatisfied with what I had and felt a desire for something else
I demand you
I implore someone to be with me or help me find a way forward
Be here with me, a light in the quiet of the morning
I want someone to be present with me and provide hope and guidance as the day begins
Be here with me, alive in the quiet of the morning
I want the person to be fully present and engaged in the moment, enjoying the peacefulness of the morning with me
