1) Yunalis binti Mat Zara'ai (born 14 November 1986 in Alor Setar, Kedah, Malaysia), professionally known as Yuna, is an acoustic/alternative/pop singer-songwriter originating from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia and is now based in Kuala Lumpur and Los Angeles, US. She began making a mark for herself in the local independent scene in 2007, before releasing her demo in February 2008. Her debut EP, Yuna EP, was released in October 2008. Her debut album was finally released in July 2010, titled Decorate.
Yuna has been cementing herself in the local scene with complementary comparisons to the likes of Norah Jones and Rachael Yamagata. Her influences include Fiona Apple, Feist, Lykke Li, Sia, Bob Dylan and The Cardigans. Yuna describes her music as "a cross between Mary Poppins and Coldplay".
One of the first few people who expressed interest in her music was Farhan Fadzlishah aka Pa'an (Telephony Delivery), who later became her supporting guitarist. Along the way, Efry Arwis (Lightcraft) helped her with the bass while Adib handled the drums. Adil Ali (Seven Collar T-shirt) replaced Adib after the latter quit to concentrate on his drumming role in Oh Chentaku.
Yuna was eventually discovered in the US by the Indie-Pop record label and management company. They flew out to Malaysia to convince her to sign with them and then proceeded to get her a deal with Fader Label, a record label based in New York, in February 2011. She released her debut US EP, Decorate - EP, in the United States in March the same year. In February 2012, Yuna released her second Malaysian full-length album, Terukir Di Bintang. Her self-titled US full-length album, Yuna, was released on April 24, 2012.

Like you did to me
I wish I could stay as new
As when you first saw me
Oh my
Head is tight from just tryna hide my views
I keep trying my best just keep you
Place me in the corner
You're such a heart
So that you remember
Baby when I'm gone...
[Chorus]
While we're still having fun
Well I'm still waiting
(Waiting for the mountains to fall)(x2)
Baby when I am gone
You were something
(Waiting for the mountains to fall)(x2)
I'm not as smart as your books
But I know how to look
Out for you...
I come with the head and the heart
Being using it from the start
And my
Brain is starting to suffering b'cos of you
Still
I've been trying my best just to please you
Place me in the corner
You're such a heart
So that you remember
Baby when I'm gone...
[Chorus]
While we're still having fun
Well I'm still waiting
(Waiting for the mountains to fall)(x2)
Baby when I am gone
You were something
(Waiting for the mountains to fall)(x2)
Place me in the corner
You're such a heart
So that you remember
Baby when I'm gone...
[Chorus]
While we're still having fun
Well I'm still waiting
(Waiting for the mountains to fall)(x2)
Baby when I am gone
You were something
(Waiting for the mountains to fall)(x2)
The song "Mountains" by Yuna is a melancholic ballad about unrequited love and the painful feeling of fading away from someone's life as they move on. In the beginning of the song, Yuna laments the fact that she wishes she could mean as much to the person as they did to her. She remains hopeful, however, that she can still be new and fresh in their eyes, despite her growing feelings for them. The chorus repeats the lyric "waiting for the mountains to fall" as a metaphor for the unlikelihood of the person ever reciprocating her feelings. The second verse talks about how she may not be intellectually on par with this person, but she knows how to take care of them and watch out for them. The repetition of the line "place me in the corner, you're such a heart, so that you remember, baby when I'm gone" reflects a desire for the person to realize what they have in her before it's too late.
There's an overall sense of sadness and resignation in the lyrics of "Mountains," but it's also a moving tribute to the complicated feeling of loving someone who doesn't love you back. It's almost as though Yuna is trying to make herself indispensable to this person, but it's a hopeless endeavor. The song builds to an emotional and raw crescendo, with Yuna's vocals soaring over simple piano and drumbeats. The final repetition of "waiting for the mountains to fall" becomes a desperate plea, a final attempt to get this person to see her worth before they're both lost to each other forever.
