Strong traces of  Arvo Pärt: Cantus in Memory of Benjamin Britten
But that's OK - all music is copied and changed - This is such a gorgeous work.

In spite of all the disparaging comments for a song I kinda like, one has to admit that it has inspired some very creative posts. .

Mono no aware (物の哀れ), literally "the pathos of things", and also translated as "an empathy toward things", or "a sensitivity to ephemera", is a Japaneseterm for the awareness of impermanence (無常 mujō), or transience of things, and both a transient gentle sadness (or wistfulness) at their passing as well as a longer, deeper gentle sadness about this state being the reality of life. 



Interesting. I recently read a Sci Fi book about an OS that becomes self-aware. The name was Monono Aware. I was unaware of the meaning. Fitting.

I had this rated at a six and raised it to seven. It's quite beautiful.

I wouldn't know how to explain it though...


How nice of you, from 2 to 6. Your majesty, what song deserves the rating of  7, 8 or god forbid - 9 or 10? Based on your peculiar, intellectual musical taste?

I don't know.  Me thinks Tim Leary and Augustus Owsley would approve. But I agree, a bit too cerebral.

Would make a moving soundtrack for certain photo/video presentations.

Japanese post-rock band on RP. I love this band, and was pleasantly surprised to hear it. {#Smile}

Clearly a large proportion of the listener populace is either over caffeinated or under medicated, because this fits perfectly well with the overarching tone of RP. Some raucous music, some mid-tempo songs, and the occasional sonically-contemplative piece. 

Similar in pacing to A Winged Victory for the Sullen. Love it!

Simple music, but those dissing it, please remember where it comes from. People of other and very different cultures, and with tragic histories, do not have to measure up to your western expectations.  

 
Mono, a group from Japan which does not have a "trajic" history. It had a few furchtbar moments.

Despite all the other bashing this song provided the perfect backdrop to tonight's sunset. I know it was coincidence but it was perfect timing.

Should be called NOMO instead, as in I don't want to listen to this No Mo.

I would humbly say that is sounds remarkably like Michael Nymans 'Gattaca' soundtrack. Produced in 1997 and I would say heavily influenced this young band nearly 12 years later.

This song goes perfectly with the one before it -- I think just hearing this one it's own doesn't paint the grand, sweeping and sublime picture that this album is. 

I've said it many many times -- if I get to pick what music I die to, it'll be a Mono piece.

If I was stoned out of my mind, this song would be one of the most in incredible things I've ever heard, but since I've given all that up for now, it's a kettle less mind blowing and just Starts to flirt with tedious. Never quite gets there, but comes close enough to smack it on the ass.
