I will never forget that evening in December 2013 when it appeared as a suggestion. I was drawn by the title - I love all things winter. This was my first and most beautiful encounter with post-rock. I remember thinking that it would be so great to have someone to share this kind of music with as I knew my friends would not like it. November 2014 I went to Mono's concert and met my current boyfriend. We will be celebrating our second anniversary at another Mono concert this November. I can't escape thinking that on that December night when I first heard this song I actually had him on my mind as a person to share with.... UPDATE: We aren't together anymore. That's life. I keep my story here as I do think it was special. Thank you all for your beautiful comments. Wish you all the best, fellow postrockers!
what a beautiful story... it would seem, that the universe set things in motion, with a simple song suggestion, such is the mystery of this reality. Much love to you both xx
This is seriously one of the best songs in the history of music. I've seen these guys live and the crowd was hypnotised, no one was talking. This is amazing.
Wow. Reading all of these comments is so touching. Everyone here is connected and it's like a huge family. It's amazing what music can do to bring people together
This song helped me when my 18 years old cat passed away. He died peacefully because of his age, but I had him since I was 4 and it broke me... It’s been few years now and I still come here to listen to this song sometimes and keep crying 🌈 I wish so much these beautiful fur angels could live longer...
I had a dog, maybe around when I was 3 or 4. Little pup, her name was Belle. She passed away when I was 18. It left such an empty space in my heart and home. I don't believe in after life, but i hope i'm wrong, so I can meet her again.
We muslims believe all animals have souls and they will live forever in the world created specifically for them. People in paradise will able to get their pets back.
Reminds me of that time in early childhood where everything was just a game. A new mystery all ways waiting to be discovered. And The ineffable sense of wonderment felt around every journey.
Life is still a game, I'm 32 now and fell in love with mystery all over again last year, find your pace and you'll arrive at that same place again, each time again. Don't let the cold world fool you, we are still the same, don't die while breathing.
+VacantTheory how much more then a kid do we really know, i think its important to question everything instead of simply accepting one view of the world, just like a kid would do
VacantTheory I'm really looking forward to reconnecting to how I felt when I was about 16. Good to know you've done it, I'll keep working on it cause now I'm sure it is possible and I really want it to happen. Like you said, we're still the same, just need to find the right channel and frequency to connect to, to relive that special feeling. Enjoy!
Found this when watching the movie tag. Heard it and knew I needed to download it. Love this song. Makes me feel like things are going to be ok as long as I don’t give up
I heard this from a movie and I searched for hours on end until I found this. I cried because the scenes plus this song gave me a tidal wave of pure emotions I've been holding onto for quite a while. The first time I truly cried since I guess last year. I feel good letting it all out because there's so much I've held onto its insane. I'm happy, for once, that I can finally let go of whatever was making me feel miserable...I love the things music can do the people...
Stop with facebook, throw your phone away, do what you want to do. Love who you want to love. Feel what matters to you most. This is music that makes me realize what my priorities are. Thanks, needed that. :)
In some time maybe I will throw my computer away, yes. Glasses I need to read, which I really will continue to do. And I won't insert anything in my anus because that freaking hurts. I already have contipation... Plus I hate caterpillars (sorry parent butterflies...)
This was one of the first post-rock songs I ever listened to and it was at a time when I had lost the first love of my life. Ever since then, I learned to find pleasure in sadness and understood the beauty of melancholy. Truly wonderful, an emotional high no drug can give you. And years later I had the wonderful opportunity to listen to this live and met the wonderful people who pour their emotions into what they do and to the audience.
Gary Smith it was a joke in reference to a meme that say "meth not even once" like this one. www.humoar.com/wp-content/uploads/meth-not-even-once/01.jpg In another context, i was supposing it would be funny.
This song is so dear to me. I was going through a lot in 2016 and this song is part of what got me through it. The most beautiful experience I had with it was standing in the middle of a hayfield while I was on a solo walk and listening to this song while the snow fell around me. It hadn’t yet stuck to the ground and the sun was shining brightly through the clouds, casting its rays down and glimmering off the snowflakes. Never felt so connected to life and to this earth than in that moment 😌
+Kratos Milo no, the child grew up, lost connection and destroyed the home of native animals in order to breed kill and eat all the other gentle animals like cows, pigs, chickens etc. All the while pretending she was not eating flesh and calling it by another name.
It's weird how many people comment about how beautiful the photo is, instead of realize how beautiful this piece is.... Of course the photo is stunning, but listen to the music!, it's truly a masterpiece
if you write your name on a chalk board ... is that you ? or is the word merely a symbol .... of what you really are. forget the words. they vanish. and what they point to becomes everything.
+An Humble Messenger of the Law of One the Name is just a chain of letters that we identify with, its a very abstract thing, weird that so many abstracts habits and thing help out society to work but if you think about it its not simple at all
Un viaje emocional que me lleva a los más recóndito de mi ser, me lleva a mi niñez hasta me hace ver con ojos sollozos mi solitaria vejez. Mono es la banda perfecta para las inmortales emociones. Te oiré por siempre Mono, desde un rincón de la gris Lima en Perú 🇵🇪. Muchas gracias Mono.
I think anyone can appreciate this type of music if they sat and listened to every note. This is like every thought and feeling of unease, anxiety, and craziness in my head morphed into a song. Mono is such a beautiful band.
You came through rain Wet, shivering Strength you feign I embraced you, From where have you fled? Come rest next to the warm fire Our shed The months pass, trees shake off golden dust You grew just like the sun Peeking over the horizon, to it we run Playing in that forest our silent home Away from the worries of a city In solitude, not alone Words said never Rain fell, my cheeks wetter Yet you, oh so gentle Cheered me, my heart settle Soon our paths diverge, time grows low To separate worlds we must go Separate we are, though not alone We set out to claim our thrones Lament not we will meet again If not here, then in our Ascent For this is only a temporary parting Our bond is much more than our holding Just as this White rain, the world, covers Entirely so do our thoughts Envelop the other
Alicia R. Glad to hear it! Right now I'm just looking to publish a poetry book~~every one keeps suggesting I turn my poems into songs, so perhaps that's the next step :D Just gotta find a singer now for that heh
This song kind of gives off this feel where I should be doing something beautiful at the moment, idk what but it makes me want to do something adventurous.
once there was a child that wandered into the depths of a great forest. the child kept walking until it came upon a stream where it met a bear. the bear slowly approached the child as the child cocked its head in curiosity. the child asked the bear " where am I?". the bear stared quizzically at the child and said "why do you not fear me? have you not been taught that i am dangerous?" the child silently stepped forward face to face with the bear and said "why should i be scared of you?" the bear responded with a hallow laugh and said "because i have claws and teeth that can carve rivers in your skin and open you up to the sky." the child stared thoughtfully at the massiveness that was the bear and wondered "just because you have the means of soaking my body into the earth does not mean you will. humans have the same opportunity to do as such but we slaughter only when money or value are involved. my dear bear you and i are the same." the bear shook its head in disbelief "if i were hungry i would make you into pantry young one in mere seconds." the child sighed "but if that were true i would already be gone from this plane. we -my bear- are the same for both of us live and breath and survive on this planet." the child took the last step forward and reached its hands out to the bear bowing both their heads to touch they stared. the child spoke "you are me and i am you my friend for we are one in the same because we are made the same by energy and this earth." after what seamed like forever in the child's mind it stepped back and asked "were do ones like us go?" the bear sighed a heavy sigh and said "i can not tell you that for i do not know the answer." the child let out its breath and stretching out like a tree towards the sky said "then should we find one?" the bear came beside the child and said "where do you think we should start?" the child place a hand on the bears side and said "wherever we should start we should start now." and then they left the safety of the quiet stream and struck into the darkness of the night with the halo of the moon to light their next destination.
Unuttuğunu sandığın bir anı parçasını hatırlarken yeniden hissettiğin eski duygular, müziğin eşliğinde kanına karışır, gözlerini kapattığında sana gülümseyen çocukluğunu görürsün.
I didn`t know Mono until 5 minutes ago.I found it casually on youtube..I liked the name and decided to listen to it....what a sound, mellodic,magic,superb.....long live MONO.....
As a victim of abuse as a kid, I felt so connected with this song. Looking back, I can compare my innocence as pure as snow tainted with abuse. The ending feels so cathartic as rage and sadness inside me slowly brews and finally screams all of it at the same time. I feel I’m finally heard.
-Do you know what pure love is ?- she asked him,looking him straight in the eyes. -Love as pure as the snow,innocent as a child who does not know the cruelty of this world,sad as the sound of a violin crying on a beautiful moonlit sky,bitter as coffee,but sweet as honey-she continued while tears were running down her pale skin. -A love that will bring smile and tears on your face,anxiety and peace in your heart,confusion and clarity in your mind,emptiness and glow in your eyes.Have you ever experienced such strong feeling,such sweet pain ? Well this is the kind of feeling a got from this song and inspired me to write this ^_^
I remember when i was hospitalized after a head injury for months and i first heard this song. The beauty wasnt just hearing this song through rehab, it was hearing this emotionally elevate me in the time of my life where i felt the concept of life sadden me and push me down. It made me feel something i searched for a long time but never could come close to reaching. But i did. And through this song after all these years i finally feel alive.
think of like just 20 years ago people went about there lives never knowing the emotional satisfaction that we do thanks to this band this song this sound and I couldn't imagine my life without this sacred retreat from it all. wow.
3:23 My jaw dropped..well the internal jaw in my mind did. If I were to give up my existence as human to become one segment of a song. That' be it, no questions asked. That little violin or cello sounding orchestra part. My fave.
This picture is so touching. It makes me think how innocent can a bear become just by the touch of a child's hand , and how aggressive it can become by the touch of a grown up man. And this music and the tittle tells everything.
David Bowie brought me here... I started listening to him an hour ago, and one click after another, through Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Snow Ghosts, Frames and others, I ended up right here. funny how things go, especially when suffering with another bout of depression, feeling dejected and the like... that such power comes to you randomly at 1:17am beauty in sound.
Take the time today to tell someone(anyone, even a stranger) "I love you" and give them a hug. Imagine how beautiful the world would be if we all did that.
do you ever just start listening to this beautiful melancholic music and enter a daze? then you snap out of it 2 hours later. thats me rn. and i love it.
I kissed my ex-gf on sea stones while listening to this song last summer! Now she far to me.. and we're not together anymore. I can't stop listening and I still in love with this one :)
gerçekten son derece duygusal bir parça 4 yıl önce vizelere hazırlanırken rastlamıştım..iyiki de rastlamışım diyorum genelde kötü hissettiğimde açıyorum en azından bazı şeyleri unutturuyor..nasıl hissetmek istiyorsan öyle hissetmeni sağlayan bir şarkı..her şey istediğiniz gibi olsun kendinizi sevin..love yourself✌️..thanks for everything..respect 日本🇯🇵..from turkey🇹🇷..
Under the cold weight of snow, the earth will finally hibernate. It is the miracle of winter. Flakes fall as if they were sent to pause time before the seasons begin again. Some are clumsy, some are graceful, but each knows its landing place on the earth. The only movement here is that of a young woman searching through the braided pine branches for an opening. Her white dress is camouflaged against the snow. Lost in this dream chamber, she moves through the white powder, running her hands through it to awaken her memory. Parting the branches, she follows an open path cleared before her, swerving its way to a stone bridge adorned with icicles. Someone is waiting for her there, a gray figure, a stranger, watching her through the shower of white between them. They are uncertain of why they have come but they both long to be here. Although she cannot recognize his face, she knows him somehow. As they stand together, a single ray of light grows from behind, wrapping them in its warmth until they dissipate into it. When she awakes, a cloud of winter air still floats above her. It was just a dream again. On this morning, a man awakes from the same dream, one that reoccurred so often that he felt incomplete without it at times. It haunted him. When his eyes closed, her face still appeared before him, but not one that he could recognize. His oldest memory was of being an infant sitting before his family, unable to speak or walk on his own. He cried for days and nights, his small fists clenched, until one day he couldn’t remember why he was so sad anymore. Along with the other children, he learned to laugh and run again. This became his new life, and everything before then seemed no longer his. The man watches swelling clouds from his window and cannot help but anticipate the arrival of something today. Bodies bustle their way past him as he sits outdoors, but they are like shadows murmuring to one another. They float by unnoticed as his eyes only fall upon a young woman, dressed in white, who stands behind the crowd. He feels comforted, almost relieved by the sight of her, and longs to be near her. Their eyes lock, a strange longing glance that could not be severed by anything at that moment. Her eyes are like two deep wells of stories, perhaps one he may have heard before. They appear dewy, prepared to overflow. In the distance, church bells ring. The humming noise and motion of the world seep back in to disturb their peace. If she is a mirage, she will disappear soon, he thinks. But she remains there, motionless. This time is not a dream. With a final glance at him, the woman slowly vanishes into the sea of bodies. A steady downpour of snow ripples in the wind until he cannot see anything but the movement of white. Chaotic, like a surge of emotion, and yet pure, white, and delicate, the snowstorm remains an enigma to him. As he tastes the snowfall, he sees a single ray of light piercing through a cloud, and he cannot help but smile.
When the wind blows and touch my skin, the earth shakes..when the raindrop tears up, the seas swings, and when the fullmoon comes up the wolfs rouling.. there’s no such a things..there’s only me and the memories.. thanks for this feelings.. it feels i felt to the deep blue oceans.. deep and dark..
*Everytime i feel so down i keep on returning in this masterpiece most likely now with this current situation it feels like with all the clouds and storms the light of the sun are just waiting and that sun is GOD..*
it's so incredible to me how people can make music like this. music that can drown you in a trance, move you to tears, engulf you in a wave of frisson; with no words at all. the only other band that has made me feel this overwhelmed is we lost the sea. i love mono with all my heart.
gün doğmuyormuş gibi, mevsimler sana aldırmadan tüm hızıyla geçmiyormuş gibi, ve fırtınalar yeni bir sayfa açmak için, anılarınla beraber küllerini savurmuyormuş gibi her gün... yine geldin buralara. açtın şu müziği. söyle, fısılda, haykır. neyi bekliyorsun?
That's the good thing of life, we don't know everything and then, today or tomorrow we can find something good in the unknown. Thanks, very glad to have found MONO
THE epitome of Post Rock music has to be this song. So many great groups in this genre that you will never hear on mainstream radio. That fact makes this genre even better than it already is
when i was 15 years old, its the first time that I listen to Mono, today 8 years later, is the first Orchestra that i listen when i wake up, early in the morning!
little girl and the bear. when you are in form of pure love, you never feel the fear. once you grow up and have fallin tears, it wont make you lose the game. yes, your past wont just disappear. but you have to forgive, so you could change and be a fearless child again.
+DreamOfTitans wrong humans are a virus. We eat away the planet's resources, we kill things for fun, we keep breeding and breeding and breeding enventually kicking the animals out and turning earth 100% nature into 100% man made structures.
A couple of days ago, I had lost my cat. My brain still hasn't processed it yet and it hurts. I'm so used to seeing her at the door playing, hearing her run around, the sound of the bell on her collar jingling from time to time, I just miss her in general. We had raised her since she was small since her mother had neglected her and her brother. Sadly, her brother passed away, our only source of happiness being her. Without her, I feel empty. I feel as if I need to cry, or even scream in an empty space. I just want her back. I hope she's safe wherever she is, even if she's at a new home.
And people say post-rock is stale. This proves that the scene can create one of the greatest instrumental shoegaze/post-rock songs ever made. It gets more somber and heavier-sounding with every minute until 7:20 hits, and it reaches its most melancholic and asphyxiating tonal moment. It's truly an emotional masterpiece for start to finish. This is on par with GY!BE's best work.
6:37 I close my eyes, I lay my head back. Goosebumps come, eyes get wet and I feel totally present to the song like a meditation. All of sudden, feelings, thoughts, and memories come up like fireworks in my head. I feel like 'Hey I should be more aware of the song!' and at the same time I feel like 'That's okay! All these thoughts and memories wouldn't be here if it wasn't for that'. And there is the bliss. Then the song ends, I open my eyes and stare at the screen. And I can only think 'What a nice place I found in my head just by listening to it.'

This song are the key to a transition to a different dimension. It reminds you of the first sun after the snow in March. And that's where it all started for me! 🖤🖤 Now I'm going to tell you the story of this song; Under the cold weight of snow, the earth will finally hibernate. It is the miracle of winter.

quantas coisas já passei até aqui. Não vão ser 3 anos longe de um alguém que não se identifica comigo que vai me derrubar. sei que há algo bem melhor me esperando.... hoje passou um filme da minha vida em minha mente durante esse fundo de música. épocas, sonhos, ilusões. Nostalgia... ah! Vida. sinto como se conhecesse o mundo, mas ao mesmo tempo nada. 😧
The first time I saw them live was on a trip to another city(almost 800km away from my hometown), on that trip I spent my savings on tickets, plane, hotel and food. After the trip I lost my job because of the getaway. But let me tell you it was the most amazing experience I have lived, to hear them live I remember how my tears almost came out when I first heard this song, to have them 8 feet apart and see how they gave their soul into every song was what best thing I've ever seen in my whole life. (sorry for my bad english)
I will never forget that evening in December 2013 when it appeared as a suggestion. I was drawn by the title - I love all things winter. This was my first and most beautiful encounter with post-rock.

what a nice story, I'm happy knowing that this kind of events still exist in this life.
as this song is played, may your love be more beautiful and sweet!

Hi
Fuck yes

So strange that Music without any words can say so much. Glad you are here People, I'm not alone
when you realized that loneliness is shared
Loneliness can be so beautiful
We are all " existentially" alone even if interconnected in the world in which we live...
same baby, same!))

don't be fooled by the work of satan
+Nciku what? Skillful piano/guitar/drums/violin players are all part of satan?
you're right
You're sick. How can you say something so bad about such divine music. It will be brother.
saw Radiohead live 3 days ago. talk about a hypnotised arena
sometimes you fall so deep in the music that you get scared of being able to get back to normal.
i wouldnt mind living in the mindset this music puts me
+2018 Student Mario Grandinetti it's to much energy for me man but it's an amazing awesome feeling.

Found this when watching the movie tag. Heard it and knew I needed to download it. Love this song. Makes me feel like things are going to be ok as long as I don’t give up
Life can be real shitty, but it's also full of little treasures. Like each wonderful second of this song, they amount to a greater experience.
No pain no gain, right? We learn what life's all about and learn how to get through the situations not how to take the pain out of them.
👍
I'm so proud of this Japanese band.
Takuya Suzuki I think I know that profile picture, I've seen it somewhere. Where?
Hellsing If this was a serious question, then the answer is Cast Away (movie).
Jesse Calzada yes yes, thank you
Are they famous in Japan?
Negin Enayaty Ahangar no. Post rock isn’t really popular. But this community does think mono is the best Japanese post rock band.
I heard this from a movie and I searched for hours on end until I found this. I cried because the scenes plus this song gave me a tidal wave of pure emotions I've been holding onto for quite a while. The first time I truly cried since I guess last year. I feel good letting it all out because there's so much I've held onto its insane. I'm happy, for once, that I can finally let go of whatever was making me feel miserable...I love the things music can do the people...
Tag.
What movie do you hear this song in?
@@stevebond7387 it was a Japanese horror film called Tag
my sister was kinda laughing at me for crying at the end of the movie because of this song but it was somthing about this song
Tag right?
Bruh the best movie fr, it’s so emocional
Stop with facebook, throw your phone away, do what you want to do. Love who you want to love. Feel what matters to you most. This is music that makes me realize what my priorities are. Thanks, needed that. :)
Did you just reach the nirvana? hell yeah like that :D
In some time maybe I will throw my computer away, yes. Glasses I need to read, which I really will continue to do. And I won't insert anything in my anus because that freaking hurts. I already have contipation... Plus I hate caterpillars (sorry parent butterflies...)
I think this comment may have just changed my life. Thank you.
wow Vera K
shes talking so easy, and stil use computer :D
This was one of the first post-rock songs I ever listened to and it was at a time when I had lost the first love of my life. Ever since then, I learned to find pleasure in sadness and understood the beauty of melancholy. Truly wonderful, an emotional high no drug can give you. And years later I had the wonderful opportunity to listen to this live and met the wonderful people who pour their emotions into what they do and to the audience.
keremcantarhan This made me tear up a bit
This was the first postrock song i ever heard and i never was the same again ,been hooked on postrock ever since that day in 2011.
+Gene Hane My moment came with Untitled 8 by Sigur Ros in 2008. Me too, never the same again...
+Mikhael37 1996 - Mogwai - Young Team... it was a revelation (especial after brit pop!)
post-rock, not even once...
+Guillaume Lemaigre what do ya mean dude?
Gary Smith it was a joke in reference to a meme that say "meth not even once" like this one. www.humoar.com/wp-content/uploads/meth-not-even-once/01.jpg
In another context, i was supposing it would be funny.
can't even begin to put into words what this band has done to my soul with just listening to 3 songs. this is absolutely amazing!
Let me send you on a journey: check out Alcest, Amesoeurs, Saor, God is an Astronaut
Will do...thank you very much
and explosions in the sky obviously
mogwai - take me somewhere nice
also Sigur Rós which makes the most magical music ever
People get really emotional down here...this song is doing something right.

This song is so dear to me. I was going through a lot in 2016 and this song is part of what got me through it. The most beautiful experience I had with it was standing in the middle of a hayfield while I was on a solo walk and listening to this song while the snow fell around me. It hadn’t yet stuck to the ground and the sun was shining brightly through the clouds, casting its rays down and glimmering off the snowflakes. Never felt so connected to life and to this earth than in that moment 😌
Anyone still listening to this masterpiece in 2024?
Only eight hours after you, yes.
Yes, from Bolivia
I'm listening now. 😢
Me too.
100%
This is why Bob Marley said "One good thing about music, when it hits you, you feel no pain..."
nivade0 i feel pain
music didn't hit you then
Sometimes you do...
one good thing about weed is, when you take a hit, the pain goes away...
seeing this picture just makes me smile
+ChilloutSessionZ After taking this picture the bear ripped the kid's head off and fed on her intestines.
+Kratos Milo no, the child grew up, lost connection and destroyed the home of native animals in order to breed kill and eat all the other gentle animals like cows, pigs, chickens etc. All the while pretending she was not eating flesh and calling it by another name.
amanda boyce are you a vegan? just wondering.
+Kratos Milo I mean she could have just walked away too......
fink plaid this poster is above my bed.
It's weird how many people comment about how beautiful the photo is, instead of realize how beautiful this piece is....
Of course the photo is stunning, but listen to the music!, it's truly a masterpiece
ı dont know how a wordless music can tell a lot
if you write your name on a chalk board ... is that you ? or is the word merely a symbol .... of what you really are.
forget the words. they vanish. and what they point to becomes everything.
+An Humble Messenger of the Law of One the Name is just a chain of letters that we identify with, its a very abstract thing, weird that so many abstracts habits and thing help out society to work but if you think about it its not simple at all
Edfor wow thank you. what a genius boy (!)
Un viaje emocional que me lleva a los más recóndito de mi ser, me lleva a mi niñez hasta me hace ver con ojos sollozos mi solitaria vejez. Mono es la banda perfecta para las inmortales emociones. Te oiré por siempre Mono, desde un rincón de la gris Lima en Perú 🇵🇪. Muchas gracias Mono.
It's amazing that they can convey so much without words
Hermosas palabras, definitivamente Mono te hace volar en el tiempo...
That noise after minute 7 is cleaning up the insides of my mind. It's like my brain is being cleansed of useless thoughts
I think anyone can appreciate this type of music if they sat and listened to every note. This is like every thought and feeling of unease, anxiety, and craziness in my head morphed into a song. Mono is such a beautiful band.
Now this, this is what music is supposed to be. Emotion through sound.
You came through rain
Wet, shivering
Strength you feign
I embraced you,
From where have you fled?
Come rest next to the warm fire
Our shed
The months pass, trees shake off golden dust
You grew just like the sun
Peeking over the horizon, to it we run
Playing in that forest our silent home
Away from the worries of a city
In solitude, not alone
Words said never
Rain fell, my cheeks wetter
Yet you, oh so gentle
Cheered me, my heart settle
Soon our paths diverge, time grows low
To separate worlds we must go
Separate we are, though not alone
We set out to claim our thrones
Lament not we will meet again
If not here, then in our Ascent
For this is only a temporary parting
Our bond is much more than our holding
Just as this White rain, the world, covers
Entirely so do our thoughts
Envelop the other

Glad to hear it! Right now I'm just looking to publish a poetry book~~every one keeps suggesting I turn my poems into songs, so perhaps that's the next step :D
Just gotta find a singer now for that heh
Alicia R.
But in the meantime, I made a blog that you can check out if you want ariarozo.wordpress.com/
:D Suggestions help a lot
I'd love to read it♥ You're amazing!!
Selena Arana
Thank you :)
This song kind of gives off this feel where I should be doing something beautiful at the moment, idk what but it makes me want to do something adventurous.
Thanks for describing how I feel even thouh I didn't know it. Perfect for chilling out yet uplifting.
Acrylic painting with your fingers, to make 3d art pictures. (edit): Be high as a pigeon first
Just living, it's beautiful
This is music. Real skillful artists without the need to auto tune this is the pure craziness of sound, amazing.
Of course there is no need to autotune without vocals, wtf
+Ralph Körner that's the point...
This made me laugh, why would there need to be autotune without vocals?
once there was a child that wandered into the depths of a great forest. the child kept walking until it came upon a stream where it met a bear. the bear slowly approached the child as the child cocked its head in curiosity. the child asked the bear " where am I?". the bear stared quizzically at the child and said "why do you not fear me? have you not been taught that i am dangerous?" the child silently stepped forward face to face with the bear and said "why should i be scared of you?" the bear responded with a hallow laugh and said "because i have claws and teeth that can carve rivers in your skin and open you up to the sky." the child stared thoughtfully at the massiveness that was the bear and wondered "just because you have the means of soaking my body into the earth does not mean you will. humans have the same opportunity to do as such but we slaughter only when money or value are involved. my dear bear you and i are the same." the bear shook its head in disbelief "if i were hungry i would make you into pantry young one in mere seconds." the child sighed "but if that were true i would already be gone from this plane. we -my bear- are the same for both of us live and breath and survive on this planet." the child took the last step forward and reached its hands out to the bear bowing both their heads to touch they stared. the child spoke "you are me and i am you my friend for we are one in the same because we are made the same by energy and this earth." after what seamed like forever in the child's mind it stepped back and asked "were do ones like us go?" the bear sighed a heavy sigh and said "i can not tell you that for i do not know the answer." the child let out its breath and stretching out like a tree towards the sky said "then should we find one?" the bear came beside the child and said "where do you think we should start?" the child place a hand on the bears side and said "wherever we should start we should start now." and then they left the safety of the quiet stream and struck into the darkness of the night with the halo of the moon to light their next destination.
nameless change This is beautiful.
tears in my eyes
nameless change
Thanks for the wonderful story
Who the fuck has time to read a wall of text like that?
nameless change oh my god , that was so beautiful , im actually gonna print it and hang it on my wall ,with a pic of a bear and a little girl 😄😄😊😊
Yorgun düşmüş bedenlerin içinde, benliğini kaybetmiş ruhlar.
Sesimi duyabiliyorsanız sizinle bir şey tartışmak isterim
Unuttuğunu sandığın bir anı parçasını hatırlarken yeniden hissettiğin eski duygular, müziğin eşliğinde kanına karışır, gözlerini kapattığında sana gülümseyen çocukluğunu görürsün.

Çok seviyeli yazılar bunlar bana göre değil
3:10 still chills every time i listen...even now...wow. what a fucking incredible piece of music
I didn`t know Mono until 5 minutes ago.I found it casually on youtube..I liked the name and decided to listen to it....what a sound, mellodic,magic,superb.....long live MONO.....
As a victim of abuse as a kid, I felt so connected with this song. Looking back, I can compare my innocence as pure as snow tainted with abuse. The ending feels so cathartic as rage and sadness inside me slowly brews and finally screams all of it at the same time. I feel I’m finally heard.
I come back here sometimes...it Sounds like the sound of Heaven, thank you Mono
"Pergilah sejauh dan sekerap mungkin. Selagi mana belum sampai seru untuk jasad kau diam berkampung di dalam satu liang." - Goji Bundy
-Do you know what pure love is ?- she asked him,looking him straight in the eyes.
-Love as pure as the snow,innocent as a child who does not know the cruelty of this world,sad as the sound of a violin crying on a beautiful moonlit sky,bitter as coffee,but sweet as honey-she continued while tears were running down her pale skin.
-A love that will bring smile and tears on your face,anxiety and peace in your heart,confusion and clarity in your mind,emptiness and glow in your eyes.Have you ever experienced such strong feeling,such sweet pain ?
Well this is the kind of feeling a got from this song and inspired me to write this ^_^
It's beautiful.
It's great
wow!
That's beautiful stoof 🐱 I hope that mine is gonna be so pretty some day ✨🌸🫀🌟🌺
I remember when i was hospitalized after a head injury for months and i first heard this song. The beauty wasnt just hearing this song through rehab, it was hearing this emotionally elevate me in the time of my life where i felt the concept of life sadden me and push me down. It made me feel something i searched for a long time but never could come close to reaching. But i did. And through this song after all these years i finally feel alive.
I'm happy that you feel okay now😊💚
literally somehow the most melancholy and the most happy i have been in years at the same while listening to this for the first time..
think of like just 20 years ago people went about there lives never knowing the emotional satisfaction that we do thanks to this band this song this sound and I couldn't imagine my life without this sacred retreat from it all. wow.
This is the soundtrack of my life. I´m from Peru.
who cares ur from peru.
Also peruvian by the way
Caia Crrano _3
Y yo que pensaba era el único... Jajaja
55 people cared lol
This is why i always say music without lyrics is more powerful than anything else.
3:23 My jaw dropped..well the internal jaw in my mind did. If I were to give up my existence as human to become one segment of a song. That' be it, no questions asked. That little violin or cello sounding orchestra part. My fave.
I'm back in the best part of UA-cam again! :-)
This picture is so touching. It makes me think how innocent can a bear become just by the touch of a child's hand , and how aggressive it can become by the touch of a grown up man. And this music and the tittle tells everything.
Some say that Mono's music is just noise, but it is actually pure and indescribable emotion.
David Bowie brought me here...
I started listening to him an hour ago, and one click after another, through Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Snow Ghosts, Frames and others, I ended up right here.
funny how things go, especially when suffering with another bout of depression, feeling dejected and the like... that such power comes to you randomly at 1:17am
beauty in sound.
I ended up here the same way. Through pink floyd
Those bands, especially David Bowie, will always bring you to the good music.
About the only time I've appreciated a ******** brought me here comment!
the beauty of this music has not dropped the slightest since the first time i listened to this song two years ago!
Take the time today to tell someone(anyone, even a stranger) "I love you" and give them a hug. Imagine how beautiful the world would be if we all did that.
I have. For the better of me, my family and all of humanity.
do you ever just start listening to this beautiful melancholic music and enter a daze? then you snap out of it 2 hours later. thats me rn. and i love it.
I kissed my ex-gf on sea stones while listening to this song last summer!
Now she far to me.. and we're not together anymore.
I can't stop listening and I still in love with this one :)
+Clear Blue Water :)
Memories... :)
+Clear Blue Water :) shes so important :)
Gwen Spigelman Yes she is.
Love is everything in our life Gwen. :)
im just in highschool dude :'(
and he even doesnt fuqing notice me
gerçekten son derece duygusal bir parça 4 yıl önce vizelere hazırlanırken rastlamıştım..iyiki de rastlamışım diyorum genelde kötü hissettiğimde açıyorum en azından bazı şeyleri unutturuyor..nasıl hissetmek istiyorsan öyle hissetmeni sağlayan bir şarkı..her şey istediğiniz gibi olsun kendinizi sevin..love yourself✌️..thanks for everything..respect 日本🇯🇵..from turkey🇹🇷..
Under the cold weight of snow, the earth will finally hibernate. It is the miracle of winter. Flakes fall as if they were sent to pause time before the seasons begin again. Some are clumsy, some are graceful, but each knows its landing place on the earth.
The only movement here is that of a young woman searching through the braided pine branches for an opening. Her white dress is camouflaged against the snow. Lost in this dream chamber, she moves through the white powder, running her hands through it to awaken her memory.
Parting the branches, she follows an open path cleared before her, swerving its way to a stone bridge adorned with icicles. Someone is waiting for her there, a gray figure, a stranger, watching her through the shower of white between them. They are uncertain of why they have come but they both long to be here. Although she cannot recognize his face, she knows him somehow. As they stand together, a single ray of light grows from behind, wrapping them in its warmth until they dissipate into it. When she awakes, a cloud of winter air still floats above her. It was just a dream again.
On this morning, a man awakes from the same dream, one that reoccurred so often that he felt incomplete without it at times. It haunted him. When his eyes closed, her face still appeared before him, but not one that he could recognize.
His oldest memory was of being an infant sitting before his family, unable to speak or walk on his own. He cried for days and nights, his small fists clenched, until one day he couldn’t remember why he was so sad anymore. Along with the other children, he learned to laugh and run again. This became his new life, and everything before then seemed no longer his.
The man watches swelling clouds from his window and cannot help but anticipate the arrival of something today. Bodies bustle their way past him as he sits outdoors, but they are like shadows murmuring to one another. They float by unnoticed as his eyes only fall upon a young woman, dressed in white, who stands behind the crowd. He feels comforted, almost relieved by the sight of her, and longs to be near her.
Their eyes lock, a strange longing glance that could not be severed by anything at that moment. Her eyes are like two deep wells of stories, perhaps one he may have heard before. They appear dewy, prepared to overflow.
In the distance, church bells ring. The humming noise and motion of the world seep back in to disturb their peace. If she is a mirage, she will disappear soon, he thinks. But she remains there, motionless. This time is not a dream.
With a final glance at him, the woman slowly vanishes into the sea of bodies. A steady downpour of snow ripples in the wind until he cannot see anything but the movement of white. Chaotic, like a surge of emotion, and yet pure, white, and delicate, the snowstorm remains an enigma to him. As he tastes the snowfall, he sees a single ray of light piercing through a cloud, and he cannot help but smile.
That was beautiful...................................
I feel free when I listen to this song
Its just amazing
When the wind blows and touch my skin, the earth shakes..when the raindrop tears up, the seas swings, and when the fullmoon comes up the wolfs rouling.. there’s no such a things..there’s only me and the memories.. thanks for this feelings.. it feels i felt to the deep blue oceans.. deep and dark..
I saw this Band live in Nashville and this song is so much more awesome in person.
It honestly made my left eye tear up.
No regrets.
The time is running
The day is raining
The world around me is being ruining
And Iam stills listening to this masterpiece
Mono, thank you.
always come back to this during fall/winter, its lovely
This is one of the most beautiful songs i've heard in a long time. Wow...
After a hard day in the office I come to listen Mono and the stress fades away. It´s amazing the power of this music. Domo arigato Mono.
*Everytime i feel so down i keep on returning in this masterpiece most likely now with this current situation it feels like with all the clouds and storms the light of the sun are just waiting and that sun is GOD..*
I've been listening to this song over years it's a spiritual journey with that beautiful tone the snares and the rhythm is breathtaking
I'm in the great part of UA-cam again
Negan Dont kill me, please !
Negan Why are you here?!? You said a week!

Me too :´)
this picture really is able to wash away all your troubling thoughts and make you feel better.....with that soft music.
it's so incredible to me how people can make music like this. music that can drown you in a trance, move you to tears, engulf you in a wave of frisson; with no words at all. the only other band that has made me feel this overwhelmed is we lost the sea. i love mono with all my heart.
really brings up every single good memory of my life so far and helps appreciate things around me. love this band.
gün doğmuyormuş gibi,
mevsimler sana aldırmadan tüm hızıyla geçmiyormuş gibi,
ve fırtınalar yeni bir sayfa açmak için, anılarınla beraber küllerini savurmuyormuş gibi her gün...
yine geldin buralara. açtın şu müziği. söyle, fısılda, haykır. neyi bekliyorsun?
Proserpina hiç
hey ;D
beklemiyorum
11:15 Oh ok it was a live... wonderful
I think that all their albums are live recordings
Yes this is Holy Ground: NYC Live
That's the good thing of life, we don't know everything and then, today or tomorrow we can find something good in the unknown. Thanks, very glad to have found MONO
Songs like this have no words but they speak essays that no lyrics written by the greatest song writer could ever hope to match...
I was looking for a live version of RHCP's Snow and found this gem. I'm grateful for this coincidence.
THE epitome of Post Rock music has to be this song. So many great groups in this genre that you will never hear on mainstream radio. That fact makes this genre even better than it already is
this song makes me feel loved
weasel penis
I discovered MONO casually a couple of weeks ago... I can't forgot this music, so rich of feelings and passions
when i was 15 years old, its the first time that I listen to Mono, today 8 years later, is the first Orchestra that i listen when i wake up, early in the morning!
varoluşsal sancılar çekmenin tek güzel yanı,böyle güzel parçaları keşfetmek oldu.
I'm glad i'm back in this side of youtube again.
i love all the people who Love post rock
i don't think i could have discovered this typa music on my own, but yet again i discovered this beautiful music on my own.
little girl and the bear.
when you are in form of pure love,
you never feel the fear.
once you grow up
and have fallin tears,
it wont make you lose the game.
yes, your past wont just disappear.
but you have to forgive, so you could change and be a fearless child again.
Every time those strings come in, I get goosebumps
Nature and humans can coexist, humans are nature
+DreamOfTitans wrong humans are a virus. We eat away the planet's resources, we kill things for fun, we keep breeding and breeding and breeding enventually kicking the animals out and turning earth 100% nature into 100% man made structures.
+alceushunterx Don't worry fella, nature will fight back and find her way!
+alceushunterx +DreamOfTitans Without Man Nature is Barren. Humans are not a virus. Capitalism is the disease
Filthy_Pagan Nature without man. Is nature. Humans are a virus since Adam and Eve betrayed God's order.
+alceushunterx i would rather say their(our) actions are the infections
Love the music and love the picture
Es pura sensibilidád..algo grande y hrmoso...Solo gracias..por compartir...
It's the first snow here in Fredericton,Canada for this fall, and I deeply feel the meaning of this song!
A couple of days ago, I had lost my cat. My brain still hasn't processed it yet and it hurts. I'm so used to seeing her at the door playing, hearing her run around, the sound of the bell on her collar jingling from time to time, I just miss her in general. We had raised her since she was small since her mother had neglected her and her brother. Sadly, her brother passed away, our only source of happiness being her. Without her, I feel empty. I feel as if I need to cry, or even scream in an empty space. I just want her back. I hope she's safe wherever she is, even if she's at a new home.
Don’t worry, Your cat will be fine and I hope you’ll heal
You deserve a virtual hug here
And people say post-rock is stale. This proves that the scene can create one of the greatest instrumental shoegaze/post-rock songs ever made. It gets more somber and heavier-sounding with every minute until 7:20 hits, and it reaches its most melancholic and asphyxiating tonal moment. It's truly an emotional masterpiece for start to finish. This is on par with GY!BE's best work.
9 years later still a masterpiece wondeful song
I just need a coffee and the day will be complete while I listening this song
6:37
I close my eyes, I lay my head back. Goosebumps come, eyes get wet and I feel totally present to the song like a meditation. All of sudden, feelings, thoughts, and memories come up like fireworks in my head. I feel like 'Hey I should be more aware of the song!' and at the same time I feel like 'That's okay! All these thoughts and memories wouldn't be here if it wasn't for that'. And there is the bliss.
Then the song ends, I open my eyes and stare at the screen. And I can only think 'What a nice place I found in my head just by listening to it.'
This song are the key to a transition to a different dimension. It reminds you of the first sun after the snow in March. And that's where it all started for me! 🖤🖤
Now I'm going to tell you the story of this song;

was at this concert. legitimately life changing.
This song brings up memories !!!
quantas coisas já passei até aqui. Não vão ser 3 anos longe de um alguém que não se identifica comigo que vai me derrubar. sei que há algo bem melhor me esperando.... hoje passou um filme da minha vida em minha mente durante esse fundo de música. épocas, sonhos, ilusões. Nostalgia... ah! Vida. sinto como se conhecesse o mundo, mas ao mesmo tempo nada. 😧
The first time I saw them live was on a trip to another city(almost 800km away from my hometown), on that trip I spent my savings on tickets, plane, hotel and food. After the trip I lost my job because of the getaway. But let me tell you it was the most amazing experience I have lived, to hear them live I remember how my tears almost came out when I first heard this song, to have them 8 feet apart and see how they gave their soul into every song was what best thing I've ever seen in my whole life. (sorry for my bad english)
MONO.-Pure As Snow ce titre et la musique!!!
je reste sans voix....super géniale.
