After the debut of their eponymous album MacKenzie departed from the band to pursue a solo career. Swan quickly recruited new members of Mouth Music, Jackie Joyce (aka Helicopter Girl) assumed the leading vocals. In this incarnation several albums were released.
Martin Swan has consistently been at the heart of the group as it goes through a variety of changes in line-up throughout the years.
Whereas Celtic music is always at the heart of all their records. Mouth Music is not limited to this, they have been inspired by a variety of genres from different countries.
"Mouth music" besides being a name of a band is the name of a genre of music, otherwise known as "Puirt a beul". This music is found in predominately Scots Gaelic areas.
In context of this, Mouth Music's first album was inspired by puirt a beul and consists of several songs of this form.

Hemmm, kampungan
Samaa!!!
Hidup cuman sekali
Jangan kau pikir pikir lagi
Dia yang telah pergi
Hianati janji janji
Pasangan disekuat baja
Daripada kau tersiksa
OTW Melupakanya
Buat apa kau susah memikirkanya?
Capek hati, capek pikiran berat dikepala
Emang masalalu itu buat buat kamu gila
Jika langkahmu tak tegar jadi galau galau akhirnya
Mending yang lain, yang ngertiin kamu
Bukan orang itu yang lagi lagi menyakitimu
Hidup cuman sekali
Jangan kau pikir pikir lagi
Dia yang telah pergi
Hianati janji janji
Lebih baik move on aja
Pasangan disekuat baja
Daripada kau tersiksa
OTW Melupakanya
Foto mantan, boneka mantan lebih baik kau buang
Semua kenangan yang indah kau kubur dalam dalam
Tunjukanlah kau mampu, tanpanya disampingmu
Buat dia merasa kecewa karna dah tinggalkanmu
Tutup semua pintu hati jika dia ingin kembali
Katakanlah (katakanlahh...) aku bukan mainanmu lagi
Hidup cuman sekali
Jangan kau pikir pikir lagi
Dia yang telah pergi
Hianati janji janji
Lebih baik move on aja
Pasangan disekuat baja
Daripada kau tersiksa
OTW Melupakanya
Hapus kontak BBnya, juga nomer HPnya
Pasang kuda kuda biar stroke hatinya,
Biar kuat, kokoh kayak tembok raksasa dicina
Lagu ini buat NDX A.

The song "Move On" by Mouth Music is about moving on from a past relationship and not dwelling on the memories or the promises that were made. The lyrics encourage the listener to leave the past behind, as it can cause unnecessary pain, suffering and heartache. The song recognizes that life is short and thus one should focus on the present and not spend too much time on things that cannot be changed.
The opening lyrics "Ari gini masih mikirin mantan?" (Are you still thinking about your ex?) set the tone for the song. The singer dismisses the idea of constantly thinking about one's ex as "kampungan" (uncool) and encourages the listener to focus on better things in life. The singer advises the listener to move on as "life is only once" and not to waste time dwelling on the past.
The chorus "Lebih baik move on aja, pasangan disekuat baja, daripada kau tersiksa OTW melupakannya" (It's better to move on, a partner as strong as steel, than to suffer on the way to forgetting them) reiterates the importance of letting go and moving forward in life. The song acknowledges that the process of moving on can be difficult and painful, but it is necessary for one's own mental wellbeing.

Hidup cuman sekali
You only live once
Jangan kau pikir pikir lagi
Don't keep thinking about it
Dia yang telah pergi
He/she who has left
Hianati janji janji
Broke promises
Lebih baik move on aja
It's better to just move on
Pasangan disekuat baja
A partner as strong as steel
Daripada kau tersiksa
Rather than you being hurt
OTW Melupakanya
On the way to forgetting about it
Buat apa kau susah memikirkanya?
Why make yourself suffer by thinking about it?
Capek hati, capek pikiran berat dikepala
Tired heart and heavy thoughts in your head
Emang masalalu itu buat buat kamu gila
Is the past driving you crazy?
Jika langkahmu tak tegar jadi galau galau akhirnya
If you don't stay strong, you'll end up confused
Mending yang lain, yang ngertiin kamu
Better to find someone else who understands you
Bukan orang itu yang lagi lagi menyakitimu
Not that person who keeps hurting you
Foto mantan, boneka mantan lebih baik kau buang
Throw away photos and ex's stuff
Semua kenangan yang indah kau kubur dalam dalam
Bury all the beautiful memories deep inside
Tunjukanlah kau mampu, tanpanya disampingmu
Show that you're capable without them by your side
Buat dia merasa kecewa karna dah tinggalkanmu
Make them regret leaving you
Tutup semua pintu hati jika dia ingin kembali
Close your heart if they try to come back
Katakanlah (katakanlahh...) aku bukan mainanmu lagi
Tell them you're not their toy anymore
Hapus kontak BBnya, juga nomer HPnya
Delete their contacts and number
Pasang kuda kuda biar stroke hatinya,
Be strong and resilient so their heart won't be affected
Biar kuat, kokoh kayak tembok raksasa dicina
Be strong like a giant wall in China
