"Apollon" by Ghost Mountain prod. Oscar18

[@licoricelaces4205]

Sematary updated the description for the Wendigo video to say it was shot by GM, which is cool to me they’ve been back working together for a while

[@snurky3478]

no wonder the mv was so good lol

[@iancooper1466]

Ghost mountain KZbin account was made in July

[@curbstompzombiekillerz]

i feel like ghost mountain agreed a while back to join haunted mound when he was done college, this probably didnt come out of nowhere

[@andrewb4077]

Well this is crazy lol, so he’s been back this whole year basically lol

[@skinc4rver]

I find this song particularly beautiful because it is so steeped in mythology, but admittedly Ghost Mountain had to have known fans of Haunted Mound would dig deeper into the lyrics than normal with this being his return. It is a song comparing himself to Apollo(n), being a god of art, music, and a supreme archer. But it is also undeniably a song about renouncing something and returning to it, whether that be a place, name, or position. Ghost’s verses were always super steeped in mythology and cryptic stuff, so I dig it.

It’s mainly about Apollo as he references the battle between Apollo and Marsyas (the satyr) which was a battle of music and marsyas was flayed alive. He also mentions the seven which is a reference to the prophecy of the seven which Apollo was accused of starting. Nice reaction bro👍🏻

[@papasquat08]

Ah, I'd never heard the story about Marsyas, I'll check it out! Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it.

[@hotanimegirl6972]

the seven is most likely referencing him being the 7th member of haunted mound now. (sem, hackle, buck, anvil, grimoire, oscar and now ghost)

[@hihiheyhellohiheyhellohi]

@@hotanimegirl6972 hes been part of hm

[@hotanimegirl6972]

@@hihiheyhellohiheyhellohi yes he was before but left in 2021 and hes been working w the mound since atleast bloody angel but only now officially joined back

[@DrainGangCEOO]

Apollo is just the latinized version of the original greek spelling Ἀπόλλων (Apollon) btw. Same as Plato being the latin version of Platon

Very interesting thank you

i wanna be like u when i get older papasquat

[@Defaultpfpguy]

cut of my wings by the break of dawn just means the redbull is getting out of ghost mountains system XD

[@huntercolenutt113]

In the song cleaver valley ghost mountain says "October country where the river runeth red" so to me thats hinting to a potential follow up to what was done on hundred acre wrist

[@Heroinfiend79]

Probably gon be the name of his next project

[@ICryForSleep]

He went to film school and also directed the music video

[@ICryForSleep]

also "was seven strong" is possibly refrencing to the members of haunted mound, because he returned there are now seven members of the haunted mound (even tho anvil said he isnt in the haunted mound) Sematary, Oscar18, Buckshot, Grimiore, Hackle, Anvil and Ghost Mountain.

[@bitchpuke]

​@@ICryForSleepanvil is an official member sematary confirmed it

[@driplord4443]

@@ICryForSleep anvil has said multiple times he is in haunted mound. he got asked ab it at every single show for the bloody angel tour, his replies were 'yeah' & 'i got the tat don't i?'

[@JoeAlt-vt8ns]

I belive appolon is an alternate translation of appolo or something along those lines

[@huntercolenutt113]

I thought so as well and from what I can gather apollon is the Greek origin of the Romans apollo

[@SoccerDude07]

Damn bro sorry about the cat, we thank you for posting these videos. Keep it up 💯

[@russiam]

i believe the 7 strong lyric is referring to him now being the 7th member of the haunted mound

That shit fire fr

[@hahppyhour5380]

I agree

[@YEAREAPIRATE]

yeah 1:58 Ghost Mountain was in film school actually. it pretty well explains why the Wendigo music video (as @licoricelaces4205 mentioned) and also the Apollon music video, are considered to be some of the best that we've seen from HM. i would also like to point out that the wendigo and apollon music videos are reminiscent of sematary's older videos like skin mask 2 and red mist

[@wisteriayxz]

SO IM NOT INSANE FOR THINKING THIS IS MORE POP THAN RAP

[@papasquat08]

I definitely agree.

[@wisteriayxz]

@@papasquat08 people were flaming me for saying that :,(

[@papasquat08]

People can be dumb. You know what you're talking about.

[@goatstrid]

I'm pretty bad at music interpretation, but to me “Cut off my wings by the break of dawn” kind of sounds like he's referring to him losing freedom, maybe by coming back to making music? If we look at it from his POV, leaving because he wanted to focus more on his life, we can kind of infer that he might have felt trapped by being a full-time musician. I'm not sure what the “break of dawn” part means, though. Maybe that he feels like it's time to come back because of the increased hype around HM recently (i.e., a figurative “new day” for the group), as he came back only a few days after Buck and Hackle announced their album and tour. Curious to hear what people might think of this, cause I'm trying to get better at lyrical analysis.

[@papasquat08]

Interesting idea. I don't know him, so I can't speak to him feeling trapped into doing music. I would think after college, he's got options and maybe he realized music is the thing for him. But yeah, not sure of the exact meaning of the wings thing.

[@goatstrid]

@@papasquat08 after thinking about it more i think that depending on how it's interpreted, the "sang the song now it's said and done" line might support my first comment. personally, i see it as him saying that he'll forever be known as ghost mountain (maybe tying into the crazed fans that post old photos of him as a kid online? who knows) and thus by returning to HM he's going back to his old life of being a personality rather than a person with the freedom to do things without being scrutinized
