    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!

    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...

    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.

    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.

    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 😌

    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...

    -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 ^_^

    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

    After listening to this song… do you now understand what Kurt Cobain means by saying "I miss the comfort in being sad!"… there is nothing complicated in Mono's music… easy to listen and direct to the point… pure melancholy… I guess their philosophy in making music is "less is more"!

  • @Rosalina102798

    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.

    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.

    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! 🖤🖤

    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.

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.

    No se cuantas noches tu llegada imploré
    prefiero no contarlas y contarte cara a cara
    como de grato es el exilio en tu piel,
    me sentiré bien mientras me mires hechizada.
    Siempre te vi en cada injusticia que me desgarró
    sabiendo también que se clavaría en tu corazón.
    Me imaginé luchando a tu lado pudiéndote decir:
    ¡No sabes cuanto he añorado revolucionarte a ti!
    Cuantos jodidos trámites hasta al fin lograr
    la oportunidad de llenar profundos vacíos,
    incontables viajes hasta encontrar mi lugar
    en la sonrisa que sabe el mérito de cuando sonrío.
    Te vi al abrir los ojos y en cada ciego,
    en los atardeceres rojos que retaron al cielo negro,
    tantas veces fueron las que castigué a mis pupilas
    imaginando que mirabas a otro como hoy me miras.
    Le supliqué a la niebla de cada invierno en que
    me fundí con la escarcha, irme con el frío pensé
    el tiempo pareció congelarse tan a menudo
    en una eterna espera, peleando con el mundo
    En mi redención descubro que
    seguramente no le faltaba mucho pa' estallar a mi mente,
    antes de que me queme quiero apagarme en tu humedad,
    la vida es uy corta y ya la corté al no poderte besar.
    Quise verte en otras pero ¡Que dolor!
    Si me daba cuenta que ninguna ni la mitad se acercó.
    Al salir de cada espejismo le decía al desierto:
    Moriré de sed si solo bebo las lágrimas que vierto.
    Te vi estando contento y al hundirme,
    cuando me detuvieron y cuando me sentí libre,
    al apagar la luz del amanecer a mi sombra,
    pude dejarme vencer pero sabía que también estabas sola.
    Seguí andando pues me esperaba en tu regazo,
    no perdí la esperanza aún estando destrozado,
    y si casi lo hice hoy te pido perdón,
    ¿Cómo no ver tu corazón si llegaba hasta mis párpados?
    El humo y la polución te volvieron difusa
    pero siempre fuiste mi mejor musa,
    atravesé mil espejismos sin aparecer
    pero me decías ¡Tienes que hacerlo otra vez!
    Quisiera ser tuyo como la libertad de pájaro
    que vuela lejos de la prisión del ser humano,
    saltar muros de tu mano, saberme por encima
    del pasado que me autodestruía al darte por perdida.
    Cumplir sueños contigo, huir del mundo podrido
    ser dentro tuyo lo que nunca había podido
    valió la pena si de felicidad lloro,
    siempre te vi porque el resto solo era polvo.
    Iluminada por la luna en el fondo de cada cubata
    en otra cama desnuda sabiendo que me esperabas,
    que lejana en el primer momento en que te deseé,
    Si me quedaba tanto por esperar que ta vez
    solo hubiera sido capaz de aguantar de haberlo sabido,
    escuchando con claridad la melodía de tus latidos
    que aún estando distorsionada la logré escuchar
    p'a escapar del ruido enamorarme de la paz.
    Sujetaste la hoz y el martillo con los que moldeé mis sueños
    de superar la ilusión que sentí de pequeño
    fuera donde fuera soñaba con encontrarte,
    tenías que estar en otra parte lejos de éstas aceras.
    Te esperé como Lenina la conciencia obrera,
    no permití que muriera mi frágl esperanza fuerte
    Aparecieron tus labios mientras besaba a la muerte,
    siempre te vi, y nunca quiero dejar de verte.
    Quisiera ser tuyo como la libertad del pájaro
    que vuela lejos de la prisión del ser humano
    saltar muros de tu mano, saberme por encima
    del pasado que me autodestruía al darte por perdida.
    Cumplir sueños contigo, huir de mundo podrido
    ser dentro tuyo lo que nunca había podido
    valió la pena si de felicidad lloro
    siere te vi porque el resto solo era polvo.
    Siempre te vi y no quiero dejar de verte nunca,
    es lo más bello junto a la justicia que puedo ver,
    como en una dimensión paralela siempre estuve contigo,
    créelo, aunque faltaran siglos pa' poder vernos.
    Aunque apenas pudiera ver eel futuro en el infierno,
    siempre te vi , supe que un día a tu lado me sentiría libre,
    mientras en el horizonte me repetía: Sigue,
    y ahora que he llegado hasta aquí te regalo mi sonrisa
    y te digo:
    No me voy a ir.
    P. Hasél. Siempre te vi.

    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.

Nostalgia... ah! Vida. sinto como se conhecesse o mundo, mas ao mesmo tempo nada. 😧

    I was looking for a live version of RHCP's Snow and found this gem. I'm grateful for this coincidence.

    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.

    while having an existential crisis, it's only fit to listen to this on repeat for a couple hours

    Love can overcome existential anxiety and chaos. Serenity; that’s what this music sounds like to me. We don’t have all the answers, but we can celebrate the majesty of being alive in the Here&Now.

    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.'

    Innocence is so strong, so powerful, so fearless. Hold on to it as long as you can. Protect it where ever you can. Innocence is not naivete.
