Isn't it just such a beautiful song? The live sounds alot different from the recorded version, and maybe I prefer the recorded version but either way it's a riduculously good song. Their sound was described as "haunting" and I agree. The song is soft and gentle, yet filled with a raw emotion. The gorgeous high vocals contrasting to the rougher rock instrumentation is really what makes this so unique and so beautiful, too. They have taken away the flute for the live, but that only adds to the haunting, forlorn atmosphere. i just love the dynamics of the song, how it builds up then fades away again. It's just a REALLY GOOD SONG. It's indescribable all the emotions it makes me feel.

I have been trying to get into Postrock. At first it sounded like something boring to me, but... well it started when I heard alot about Mono. And the intriguing title of their latest album and the good reviews made me decide to listen to them. And well, they are really incredible. And so I realised that Postrock is so far from boring... that in the case of Mono it is music that doesn't need words, the evokes emotion without telling a story through that convential mean and instead the instrumentation speaks clearly so many emotions, gives so many feelings. It really blew me away, Mono did. So I decided to find some more Postrock. I'm still trying out artists, and so far Mono and Presence of Soul are the only ones I'm really listening to. ^^ But it's an intriguing, varied genre which has gone beyond my (admiteddly low) expectations.
