TRIBUNMANADO.COM - Lagu Mountain Sound dari Of Monsters and Men bercerita tentang keinginan untuk meninggalkan masalah masa lalu, menjauh dari tekanan kehidupan, dan menemukan kebebasan di tempat yang terasa lebih damai.

Dirilis pada 2012 sebagai salah satu singel dari album My Head Is an Animal.

Lagu ini punya musik indie folk yang ceria, penuh energi, dan terasa seperti soundtrack sebuah petualangan di alam terbuka. 

Namun, jika diperhatikan maknanya, ada sisi yang lebih dalam daripada sekadar perjalanan ke pegunungan.

Berikut lirik lengkapnya:

[Ragnar Þórhallsson]
I heard them calling in the distance
So I packed my things and ran
Far away from all the trouble
I had caused with my two hands
Alone we traveled armed with nothing, but a shadow
We fled far away

[The Whole Band]
Hold your horses now, we sleep until the sun goes down
Through the woods, we ran deep into the mountain sound
Hold your horses now, we sleep until the sun goes down
Through the woods, we ran

[Ragnar]
Some had scars, and some had scratches
It made me wonder about their past
And as I looked around, I began to notice
That we were nothing like the rest

[The Whole Band]
Hold your horses now, we sleep until the sun goes down
Through the woods, we ran deep into the mountain sound
Hold your horses now, we sleep until the sun goes down
Through the woods, we ran

[Nanna & Ragnar]
Woah-oh-oh, oh-oh, we sleep until the sun goes down
Woah, woah, we sleep until the sun goes down
Woah, woah, we sleep until the sun goes down
La-la, la, we sleep until the sun goes down

[The Whole Band]
Hold your horses now, we sleep until the sun goes down
Through the woods, we ran deep into the mountain sound
Hold your horses now, we sleep until the sun goes down
Through the woods, we ran
Hold your horses now, we sleep until the sun goes down
Through the woods, we ran deep into the mountain sound
Hold your horses now, we sleep until the sun goes down
Through the woods, we ran

[Nanna, Ragnar]
La-la-la, woah-oh-oh, oh-oh
La-la-la, we sleep until the sun goes down
La-la-la, woah, woah
La-la-la, we sleep until the sun goes
