A melancholic autumn song that makes you dream of looking out the window against a black and white background on a rainy day. This song is like a hidden treasure that few people know about.
영어도 할 줄 모르던 어린 시절 지금은 찾기도 힘든 레코드바에서 우연히 이곡을 듣고 휘몰아치는 감정에 어찌할 바를 모르던 지난 날이 기억납니다 음악이란 매체가 한순간에 누군가의 가슴을 이렇게나 울렁이게 만들 수 있다는 걸 아마도 제 인생에 첫경험한 순간이었을 겁니다 제목과 가수를 알 길이 없어 십여년간 애타게 찾아왔던 이 곡을 우연히 티비에서 듣게 되고 그렇게 처음 가사를 알게 된 날 ingenue 라는 단어를 계속해서 되뇌이던 기억이 납니다 공책에 단어를 빼곡히 써내려가며 쓸쓸하고 공허하지만 순수하고 시적이면서도 퇴폐적인 곡 분위기에 또 다시 빠져듭니다 그렇게 음악을 통해 다른 차원으로 떠나가는 듯한 경험을 몇차례 하게 된 후 이러한 감정을 불러일으키는 곡에 대해서는 다른 사람들의 감상을 알고 싶어 주기적으로 유튜브를 검색하고 댓글을 살펴봅니다 먼 나라에 다른 얼굴과 삶을 살아온 이들이 나와 같은 경험을 한 것을 알게되는 것은 이곡 만큼이나 저에게 위로와 울림을 줍니다 제가 정말 사랑하는 곡입니다
This song my father show it to me one day, he passed away 3 months ago... and it took me 3 months to find this song, today when i was walking i heard the song by randomness it was in my cellphone the whole time, I almost started to cry in the Middle of the street of happiness, finally I have the song back:) am from México youre right People from all over around the world 🎉
I really felt your words ❤. I wanted to share some song that have a similar feeling. If you like this song you will like: Tom’s diner by Susan Vega th-cam.com/video/-26hsZqwveA/w-d-xo.html And It’s a find day by Opus 3 th-cam.com/video/-26hsZqwveA/w-d-xo.html And Breathe by Telepopmusik th-cam.com/video/-26hsZqwveA/w-d-xo.html Hope you like these too.
I remember when I saw the movie "Great Expectations" in 1998 at the cinema and heard this sublime music and fell sweetly in love with the beauty of Gwyneth Paltrow they couldn't have chosen a better song for that unforgettable movie 💘
It’s an extraordinary and very special movie, especially with this song. Wildly, and insanely romantic. The first time I saw this movie, I was struck in the heart. If we summarize it in one sentence, we can say the shades of love and green.
I love the way she almost whispers this haunting song. Most singers need to be the center of attention; her ability to allow the powerful emotions of the song be the focus is what makes it so unique & fascinating.
The film "Great Expectations" and the song "Life in mono"... Two master pieces joined together are the perfect combination. I remember that beautiful year 1998!!!❤
Great Expectations was an extremely beautiful movie, especially with this penetrating song. It’s wildly and insanely romantic. The first time I saw that movie, I was struck in the heart. If we summarize it in one sentence, we can say the shades of love and green.
soooooo insanely beautiful. my mama always played this song when i was little then i remembered it one day again and now im here. just in awe. thank you my beautiful mommy for showing me such lovely magical music
OMG this is my first time seeing the official MV. First heard this song 1997, Great Expectation trailer. Bought the soundtrack and ripped the song into mp3. Listened until I found it on Spotify 2012. Now in 2024, 27 years later, saw the MV for first time!
One and one, Robert miles.... Life in mono ... That was amazing 1996 .. fortunately, I listened to them in that time... Good music.. for that time... no crap of music, No crap social media, no plik plok, no fakebook, no paysplutify, no, falsetagram... In 90s, Just real life, real feelings, and of course real music.
I remember purchasing this cd solely based on the cover and I still love 80% of the track. This is 1 of those hypnotic tracks that I never grow out of it... An absolute delight.
This is seriously the BEST song to have swirling in the background, while taking photos of friends! If you're into photography, and love doing ethereal, mystical style shots, capturing deep, pensive expressions on people's faces, throw this track on and get totally inspired!!!
I remember hearing this on the radio in middle school when it came out, and being stunned while swept away in a nostalgia for a time that happened before I was born while also pining for a future time in my life, like a premonition of being haunted by unrequited love "over tea and cigarettes." I couldn't tell who it was till the DJ audio tagged it, so it was this mystery heart-swelling moment in time for weeks whenever it magically answered my pining and popped on. The adult world of unspoken seduction and wistful longing evoked by this song is so compelling and arresting to my senses.
One of the best pieces of music of all time. It's kind of mind blowing that this achieved the success it did. When Great Expectations came out and this song was everywhere for a while, this became the first non-video game non-movie song I became obsessed with as a kid. It seriously messed with me. I was 11 when promotional push for that movie was in full swing, and I just remember feeling so forlorn, broken, damaged, etc... every time I heard this song. Just a deep visceral feeling of sadness. Along with a lot of video game music in a similar vein (Castlevania, for example,) it helped shape my musical taste; I have always loved this dark, deeply morose, baroque-heavy minor key sound. I love harpsichords, Wing upright pianos, etc... anything that gives that regal, courtly sound, my favorite chord in minor key is the V chord, etc.... and man, this song really is one of the best circle of fifths progressions of all time. I Will Survive has nothing on this.
I do not believe I'm hearing this! Looking at all these comments about so many people who were touched by this song... This song was my fucking alpha and omega when I was a child, I thought I was the only one... Like no other song has ever impacted me as this one did before or ever since, and still to this day I don't understand why. Holy shit. This is awesome, to see others like me.
Thank you so much for this oh my god I am literally IN TEARS. I listened to this on repeat in my childhood!!! This has been stuck in my head for years and years as a fleeting memory. All I could remember was “ingénue” and the melody from the bridge. Finally, I searched for the right words and I found it. And it’s been over 20 years since I last heard this song. Listening again took me right back to being 12 again. I felt so vulnerable. I cried so hard but it was in a cathartic release sort of way. Thank you so much for helping me to find this again. I have been looking for so long!!!!
it samples "The Ipcress File" from John Barry who also scored the Bond Movies. Ipcress featured Michael Caine as Harry Palmer, a spy somewhat similar to Bond but more grounded.
This song is in my head, playing as I walk with umbrella in hand, amidst the cold wind-driven rain brought by the Asian Monsoon, whilst slate grey clouds borne on the monsoon winds, literally race above the already grey sky. And I try to dodge the puddles in the road, puddles that reflect the darkening rainy sky above.

still admiring this epic tune in 2024!!!
我也是❤
Forever classic
And we will still admire it in 2034 too. Great song.
A melancholic autumn song that makes you dream of looking out the window against a black and white background on a rainy day. This song is like a hidden treasure that few people know about.
I bought the Great Expectations soundtrack as soon as it was released and used to have this song on repeat, again and again. I still love it!
I was in college when this came out, its alllllll I played.
Same. A lot of songs in that soundtrack that i love and played on repeat, even up to this day.
Me too!
Me too.
Very beautiful
Dreamy, mysterious, captivating, haunting, tempting....like no other song
Like no other song..👍
Well said.
2024 and this song is still epic... next level emo
25 years and not heard a song sung so beautifully. I pity Swiftie generation.
I love that mix of trip hop with the 1970s pop ballad style.
90s , please come back
This.
Yes superb string arrangement that is reminiscent of the 70s 👍
هاى
I also love visual style which brings cinema of the 50's/60's to my mind and icons like Audrey Hepburn, Brigitte Bardot, Francoise Hardy.
영어도 할 줄 모르던 어린 시절 지금은 찾기도 힘든 레코드바에서 우연히 이곡을 듣고 휘몰아치는 감정에 어찌할 바를 모르던 지난 날이 기억납니다 음악이란 매체가 한순간에 누군가의 가슴을 이렇게나 울렁이게 만들 수 있다는 걸 아마도 제 인생에 첫경험한 순간이었을 겁니다
제목과 가수를 알 길이 없어 십여년간 애타게 찾아왔던 이 곡을 우연히 티비에서 듣게 되고 그렇게 처음 가사를 알게 된 날 ingenue 라는 단어를 계속해서 되뇌이던 기억이 납니다 공책에 단어를 빼곡히 써내려가며 쓸쓸하고 공허하지만 순수하고 시적이면서도 퇴폐적인 곡 분위기에 또 다시 빠져듭니다
그렇게 음악을 통해 다른 차원으로 떠나가는 듯한 경험을 몇차례 하게 된 후 이러한 감정을 불러일으키는 곡에 대해서는 다른 사람들의 감상을 알고 싶어 주기적으로 유튜브를 검색하고 댓글을 살펴봅니다
먼 나라에 다른 얼굴과 삶을 살아온 이들이 나와 같은 경험을 한 것을 알게되는 것은 이곡 만큼이나 저에게 위로와 울림을 줍니다 제가 정말 사랑하는 곡입니다
This song my father show it to me one day, he passed away 3 months ago... and it took me 3 months to find this song, today when i was walking i heard the song by randomness it was in my cellphone the whole time, I almost started to cry in the Middle of the street of happiness, finally I have the song back:) am from México youre right People from all over around the world 🎉

Samaaa.. pengalamanmu sama denganku 😅😅😅 ini tiba tiba lewat di beranda.. ya ampun!!
I remember when I saw the movie "Great Expectations" in 1998 at the cinema and heard this sublime music and fell sweetly in love with the beauty of Gwyneth Paltrow they couldn't have chosen a better song for that unforgettable movie 💘
Everything along with the music of the 98 movie is so beautiful
It’s an extraordinary and very special movie, especially with this song. Wildly, and insanely romantic. The first time I saw this movie, I was struck in the heart. If we summarize it in one sentence, we can say the shades of love and green.
❤
Да. В фильме звучит разная мущыка. Ее много. Но именно эта - идеально попадание!
Me to since that thay the music is reminiscent me the biggest love storie ever I habe ever had since 26 years
Teenage years... what came out to be the best years of my life
Same here.
SAME.
Same n I am from Indonesia
that’s a shame
Really? Being a teenager was the best years of your life? What world did you live in?
I was 19yrs old back in 1996. How fast time flies and how some songs can bring back so beautiful memories!!!
Same!😂
🙋🏻♂️
Nobody makes music like this anymore 😢. This song haunts me and takes me to my younger years and how reminiscing memories brings me so much pain 💔
Amazing job
I understand believe me.
Bullshit. DYOR
Me to
This song gives me a feeling of sadness, nostalgia and depression that I love.
Sometimes you miss the pain and depression that was with you so long like a beat friend at times, but most times like your worse enemy.
One of the greatest moments in music
1996... Time flies...
recuerdo era '98
Listening to this - I'm 18 years old again. Time has made this song even more beautiful to listen to.
Impeccable
I love the way she almost whispers this haunting song. Most singers need to be the center of attention; her ability to allow the powerful emotions of the song be the focus is what makes it so unique & fascinating.
Yes it’s true
Couldn’t agree more ❤
I wish Mono would publish more albums, Formica Blues is so awesome!!!
One the most underrated 90s gems which sits up there with the best of Goldfrapp and Portishead
Not sure
what are u not sure about darling that what i said or about yourself really@@Muzicano
Mono - best stereo music.
I haven't heard this song in nearly 30 years. It has popped up in my mind many times over the years and for TH-cam to suggest it just now. Wow......
I've had experiences like that
The film "Great Expectations" and the song "Life in mono"... Two master pieces joined together are the perfect combination. I remember that beautiful year 1998!!!❤
Yes it’s beautiful
You speak from my heart❤
Yes the movie and this song is the best !!!!! 💖
This song is the literal embodiment of utter sadness, bitter and sweet as it was....❤. WOW
Merci beaucoup
One of the greatest songs ever created!
Just thought of the song and found this was uploaded 3 days ago. Hooray! Love the 90s!
Love 90s!!!!^^
Same :)
I've heard this song many times, but this is the first time I've seen the video. The singer is just as beautiful as I'd imagined.
The Best track, always in our memories!
PERFECTION
The late 90’s were very good years for me and this really triggers a lot of great memories.😢
One of the most beautiful songs

soooooo insanely beautiful. my mama always played this song when i was little then i remembered it one day again and now im here. just in awe. thank you my beautiful mommy for showing me such lovely magical music
OMG this is my first time seeing the official MV. First heard this song 1997, Great Expectation trailer. Bought the soundtrack and ripped the song into mp3. Listened until I found it on Spotify 2012. Now in 2024, 27 years later, saw the MV for first time!
I heard this song working as Security for Channel Boutique in SOHO in the year 2000 and fell in love with it.
One and one, Robert miles.... Life in mono ... That was amazing 1996 .. fortunately, I listened to them in that time... Good music.. for that time... no crap of music, No crap social media, no plik plok, no fakebook, no paysplutify, no, falsetagram...
In 90s, Just real life, real feelings, and of course real music.
Говорят нельзя о прошлом мечтать, но как бы я хотела вернуть 1990-2006 все во всем правильное, а главное естественно.
I remember purchasing this cd solely based on the cover and I still love 80% of the track. This is 1 of those hypnotic tracks that I never grow out of it... An absolute delight.
But you have no idea how value these purchasing
I had forgotten about this song. Just listened to it for the first time in twenty years!!Always thought it was a great love song. What a classic
what a magical song...
Such a mood and vibe, hits the spot in moments you want this.
Have I ever been so stunned by a voice as sweet as this, a song with words like this? Should you ask?
This is seriously the BEST song to have swirling in the background, while taking photos of friends!
If you're into photography, and love doing ethereal, mystical style shots, capturing deep, pensive expressions on people's faces, throw this track on and get totally inspired!!!
Man... I love this band... And i love this song... It makes me feel sad but in a good way...
Reminiscing!! - Recollection of past events...
I remember hearing this on the radio in middle school when it came out, and being stunned while swept away in a nostalgia for a time that happened before I was born while also pining for a future time in my life, like a premonition of being haunted by unrequited love "over tea and cigarettes." I couldn't tell who it was till the DJ audio tagged it, so it was this mystery heart-swelling moment in time for weeks whenever it magically answered my pining and popped on. The adult world of unspoken seduction and wistful longing evoked by this song is so compelling and arresting to my senses.
One of the best Break Beats!
Merci beaucoup
Hauntingly beautiful song, it still sounds great. It brings me memories of better times.
I heard this on La Femme Nikita and I was instantly hooked. Peta Wilson I love you lol.
Awesome, La Femme Nikita was my introduction to this song as well, loved it ever since!
Agree with You, Peta Wilson and Roy Dupuis 💕
So, beautiful. Heard this on Great Expectations. Unforgettable.
По моему, самая лиричная песня с простыми аккордами. Балдею!
тоже балдею, брат! Я её слышал много -много лет назад оп какому то радио, даже записал на кассету, но... нашёл только вчера. Случайно. Вот так вот.
One of the best songs
This recalled my soul again.
Timeless, beautiful, melody
Great Expectations brought me here
Straight up retro hit ... 26 yrs later still banging great expiation
OMG! I had completely forgotten this song. I love it. I remember there was another video
My favorite song EVER!
Después de buscar años esta canción ,hoy x fin la encontré ...Me trae muchos recuerdos...Gracias! Saludos desde Buenos Aires .Argentina
YAAYYYYY FINALLY FOUND THIS SONG 😭😭😭 since 2002 I was searching . now 2023 I got it!!! 😭😭😭
This has been with me since a visit at the cinema in 1996, and we got a promo single for free, what a great song it is! Even in early 2024 😃
😊
What an epic song of my generation 😊
Beautiful song, just perfect👍
Really love this song..

I hope you've found a great measure of happiness since then.

Merci beaucoup
Thank you TH-cam for reminding me of this masteroiece! I just can't keep my tears

Trop belle. Trop beau. Great expectations
Missing the 90s. I bought the Mono album in 1998
This gives so much Bond-vibes, like it's used for an opening sequence
it samples "The Ipcress File" from John Barry who also scored the Bond Movies. Ipcress featured Michael Caine as Harry Palmer, a spy somewhat similar to Bond but more grounded.
Συγκλονιστικό ❤
Merci beaucoup
"Great Expectations" is one of my book by Charles Dickens and this music captures the essence of the book perfectly.
I missed this song,This song sounds so mysterious as life itself.Perfect for the novel and movie, " Great Expectations ".It gives me the chills.
Well said❤
Wow... One of my favourite's .. 👍👍👍🇲🇨
I love this song, pure love💞07/04/2023

Wow I stumbled across this great song here. I forgot about it. I loved this song…and still do. What a great find
Que hermosa canción ; te hace viajar a los 90s de una !!!!!
A time that was predicted to brought a shattered glass instead of a shining jewel.
Sadece ne edeceyimi bilmediyim anda aglima gelib de qulaq asdigim tek mahni ...
Nefis bir klasik...Turkish fans missing Mono...
Been looking for this song for 10 years already, wowwww just found it!!!!
What memories of those naked times with lovers hahahah

great song for a movie the best!!!!beautiful song !
I remember this being played in the background of a Daria episode and was happy they had big enough to be featured like that.
Best song of my life.♥️
This song is in my head, playing as I walk with umbrella in hand, amidst the cold wind-driven rain brought by the Asian Monsoon, whilst slate grey clouds borne on the monsoon winds, literally race above the already grey sky. And I try to dodge the puddles in the road, puddles that reflect the darkening rainy sky above.
This song made me cry when I was a teenager.
People now days have idea of the power of this epic balle5
Best movie romance & best soundtrack ❤😘
Genial canción, debería terner muchas más reproducciones
Absolutely genius 🙌🙌🙌
Love this song… classic!
