MONO - Follow The Map

[scorpionting]

Follow The White Rabbit

[balente84]

I don't really understand what this M/V tries to say, but I felt like going back to younger hood and missing your pure first love.

[iforrest]

i don't always come across amazing songs, but when i do, it's because of a girl i'm in love with

[juanjose0922]

2, 3

[brightstar1989]

You know, just... Follow the map! Demasiado simbólico el video... =´)

[brightstar1989]

You know, just... Follow the map! =´)

[StickmanJunkie]

bbbbbbbboooooooooooorrrrrrrrrr­rriiiiiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnngggggg­gggggggg

[Blackgrandstoned]

@StickmanJunkie yes you are

[HitmanJenkins1]

Not gonna lie, but the first time I heard this song, it made me cry.

[rdccdr801]

A beautiful song.... though it can only be so beautiful when the mask is reminding me a bit of The Carver from Nip Tuck. Just sayin'...

[donwastemytimebaby]

@lefaki it sucks! This video is so deep, with the snow field. I wonder where it was filmed, it's so intense! We should never be forgotten by the ones we did so much for. But there is nothing we can do but hope that maybe at least once agIn we cross their minds and they feel that desire of knowing how we have been doing...

[donwastemytimebaby]

@Mateivalex for me it makes me depressed! It's beautiful but makes me so sad

[donwastemytimebaby]

I meant "think"

[donwastemytimebaby]

This is so sad... Makes me thing of that special someone that already found another someone and do not remember me anymore... Everyday I wait for a message that I know it will never come... It has been 5 months now and i still miss you ...

[lefaki]

@donwastemytimebaby OH MY GOD

thats what im thinking all the fucking time.

i know what you mean:(

[FaSiiiii]

I can listen to this for the rest of my life...

[heenimsdakochan]

whats the meaning of this vid and the movie... o__o

[SBW0WBS]

Great Song!

[aaahhooohh]

Breathtaking

[mateivalex]

is the kind of song that if you listen in the morning your day gets better

[CreamO92]

31 people accidentally press the unlike button. So forgive them . =)

[ipoodnz]

Wow  I loved it!

[JaktensTid]

walkin wit a loaf in his loafers

[istoryrighter]

:c this song/video makes me cry. lol

[TheShikamaruuu]

Oh my...there are no words to describe this...

[GabrielleCaiPine]

Wow...

[Mr3520]

desde argentina aqui en ciudad jardin le digo si! a mono ...

[79camaro454]

wonder where this was filmed

[yunawaken]

@NostalgicDepression

Nyctalgia sounds awesome, you should listen to Ólafur Arnalds, i bet you like his music

[SI3G3ANON]

@NostalgicDepression took your advice and checked out Nyctalgia... thanks alot! absolutely phenomenal...

[eleniyo1992]

@NostalgicDepression You've wrote this comment in I don't know how many videos......Are you a promoter of the band or sth? spam

[vicx05]

I don't understand this video! how does he turn from an adult to a child? who is the girl?

[MrChristophe156]

@vicx05 Why does there have to be a story ? Music is about using your imagination aswell as there actually being a story . My interpretation of this video is about someone who dies and goes back to their own personal special place, maybe the girl is someone he loved as a kid and lost, maybe it's his whole interpretation of heaven, who knows ? Maybe he's remeniscing about being a kid, because maybe the world was an easier place to live when you were young and care free .

[thinkingsincerely]

Whenever I am cold for extended periods of time or am too wrapped up in myself, I watch this video and am brought back into acquaintance with love.

[OgrePsycho]

Beautiful Meaningful.

[iambadung]

Welcome again to Indonesia.... YAY!!!!!

[SeventhDoorOpen]

@iambadung is it from Indonesia?

[iambadung]

@SeventhDoorOpen No, they are from Japan. Fortunately I have seen them in Jakarta, 2008.

[sibastyan76]

excellently

[kardo46]

bengong o.O

[golothbervideo]

@kardo46 kok bengong? ^^

[llamahitman]

29 people got hit with a snowball.

[R4gin9iNf3rN0]

29 people think they're click the download button

[redcommando1]

29 people have been diagnosed with MONO.

[onlynicc16]

28 people have freedom of choice.

[nvhg1234]

wonderful. search for "star fk radium iceland" to see a cool video filmed in iceland if you love instrumentals like this.

[Yeloupeace]

gooooooooooood



[KoiChannel]

Look up "while the city sleeps-back when we knew", similar soundscapes and big crescendos.

[WerewolfKalina]

28 people are empty inside.

[PHELLAN2]

only comparable with njosnavelin from sigur ros

[theheadbanger]

So beautiful and touching.



[MrChristophe156]

This is one of the most beautifal pieces of music I've ever heard .

[EliasGYBE]

I can't believe a song so real and imaginery could ever exist. At 2:23 you feel like the world ends and starts all over, dying and being reborn at the same time. So many emotions and images so less words and time! I just wish i knew English better so i could write more about how i feel when i hear this.

[Makeshift7]

I could die at this moment 2:23

[PhantomCosmonaut]

I can't believe people sometimes. Who gives a shit about the dislikes, you're ruining it just as much with your waste of a comment.

[uxxo]

25 people out there are deaf ...

[Edyorke]

25 people didn't like the song or the video which accompanied it and expressed their opinion by pressing a dislike button instead of leaving bitchy comments in the comment section.

[Bluemergion]

Amazing...

[patrik1908]

24 ppl clicked the wrong button or are just deaf

[MrEvilbunny13]

oh just stop it already with the "witty" dislike comments

[ebichu1234]

24 people can't follow the map, what dicks!

[kezepema]

3 people are reading comments in stead of enjoying the video

[corinneinthebin]

My first thought on this song... If my life was a movie this song would be in it. In the bit where I'm pushing on through!

[amebimus]

seen them last night in Cluj, Romania. :D it was magic

[txus1967]

...esta bueno o no esta bueno el tema....esta bueno y el video tambien...y esta bueno esto del post rock...esta bueno esta bueno

[TheRafaela44]

what s mean mono in your launguage?in mine it s means only...

[SopaDeDinosaurio]

@TheRafaela44 it's "thing" in japanese.

[TheRafaela44]

@SopaDeDinosaurio thank u so much:)

[MulatschagTime]

goosebumps & manly tears

[wastesp]

So Epic

[maikuolan]

This is truly one of my all time favourite songs. Anyone that feels nothing while listening to clearly has no frontal lobe.

[morbitron6]

@maikuolan Or perchance they are into polka or maybe deaf...or possible, only dig 8-bit classical country mash ups. LIfe is full of choices my friend.

[loblollies]

Play Follow the Map and =AYw7eJYadco at the same time. OMG, magic happens.

[wizard47cpp]

i love that carillon sound. just makes sweeter and dreamy every post rock piece

[VirtualSamadhi]

This is the sound of our heart beating as one.

[panasonicyouth1985]

Saw these with the Holy Ground Orchestra in London...

Quite easily one of the most beautiful and amazing things I have ever witnessed.

[ThePowrWithn]

Awesome song. I just wish those masks weren't so goofy looking

[ukr89]

:'(

[KyluPoland]

amazing one, good band

[golothbervideo]

simple video and beaufitul

[CrzndlSndr]

He carried memories of childhood in his hand... and it was not until he let them go that he found his way out of the woods...

[insertcooluser]

23 ppl didnt follow the map

[dustdust7]

@insertcooluser

glorious

[leftfingerFPSB]

Look! It's Buckethead when he gets up in the morning!

[SadecebenVEBEN]

this song is formed by "heart beats"

[junba108]

close to you

[toisuka31]

belle musique..... merci a toi great song;o)))

[explosive319]

they have to play this in London!!! ><

[SamCurse]

Stupenda

[Risca38]

Wonderful !

[vanpersieCT]

some things are just perfect.

[Deathface]

I seriously don't understand how Mono can get any likes. Every song by them is beautiful in every way.

[suddha1]

@Deathface lol what? do you mean *dislikes? but yeah i agree im so happy people don't know about how fucking awesome bands like this exist outside of the plain old garbage ordinary folks listen to radios and clubs thank god for soul shattering music like this. Best band evar!!

[Magnetika666]

amazing theme ♥

[Soralella71]

I am going to see them in Brighton in a week. Can't wait. This music makes me forget about everything.

[cowgirlradio22]

[Heartburn991]

wow... 0_0 Amazingly amazing music that seems to tug at my heart-strings. love it!

[SpeedyFrenchy]

The only thing I don't like about this band is that I didn't know about them until last week. This song is absolutely beautiful.

[loveyoniki51]

Merveilleux ! 

[sw0rd0fadvers1ty]

@bigoldsweet Yeah, the dude that composed that is Joe Hisaishi. I'd love to see him do a collaboration with Mono...

[BornToDie90]

why do you all want them to be famous? no, its much better when few of us know them, imagine watching this on Mtv, it would change my whole perspective of the song and its beauty

[sw0rd0fadvers1ty]

@BornToDie90 If it's the same band and they don't change their style, then what difference would it make?

[BornToDie90]

@sw0rd0fadvers1ty it wouldn't make any difference to you if mtv started palying mono and every little stupid boy and girl started wearing their t-shirts... i like some mainstream artists like HIM and eminem, and everytime they write a song i like, i become SICK of it when every mtv-sheep starts singing it and talking about it... maybe its just me

[sw0rd0fadvers1ty]

@BornToDie90 I hear what you're saying.  But I do wish a band like this all the success in the world even if that means blowing up on MTV. But I also love having those little secret bands that I can horde all to myself :D.

[starcraftyt]

We all have the ability…we just don't all have the courage to follow our dreams and to follow the signs.

[joannazombie]

:')

Mi<3Jo

[Moustacheen]

And eventually I hope to be with you I love you

Ogrita♥

[saqibthesk94221]

21 people do not deserve ears!

[kakouma10]

Japanese producer and manager need to take much care of their musician! cause a band like MONO should be known much more!

if there wasn't youtube I would never knew them!

[chiledofthekorn]

this is beatiful

if you like mono you might like

" gabriel williams - scars in a sea of red "

[Kamikazebulubulu]

Ein absolut geiles tragendes Stück mit einem schönen Deprivideo.

Perfekt.

[EarhShaker]

So.. the story was, ehh.. Asians win?

[HuntiFly]

Mono gives me something i can't describe. They playin my feelings and all of human emotions. One of the best things what happens with me in my life to hearing mono.

[TheDawnBearer]

I just finished hearing this album for the first time... THis has been a very emmotional experience...

[TheNotmyfault]

@eleniyo1992 27 people have no feelings and no heart at all

[encisoaraceli]

..oooooooooookkkkkkkkk?

[erdigoceri]

[LAFKO1]

[MetalCoola350]

#PRAYFORJAPAN :_(

[intricate08]

How did I only discover this band now??

[Melanixx73]

Love it!!!

[KoiChannel]

mono fans should look up "while the city sleeps, title track", similar big and spacy soundscapes!

[ravelasalle]

he's going thru ANBU training!! beautiful beautiful song for a ninja!!

[giggidygoooo]

looks like 21 people accidently slipped and pressed the thumbs down!

[YorksOwn]

Excellent production...simply excellent...

[SheDCn]

This song can kill if U fall in Love..

[666satanification666]

Damn. I was happy until a few minutes ago.

[MusicConnectionMag]

PLaying at viper room feb 27? The viper room bulletin says it's some band called RETURN TO MONO, with a chick singer... can anyone back this up?

[Linzonfire]

@MusicConnectionMag returntomono are a different band

[MusicConnectionMag]

@Linzonfire Thanks for heads up, figured it out eventually, frustrating how the meta tagging works to promote irrelevant shows.

[Linzonfire]

@MusicConnectionMag yeah just don't want anyone confusing the brilliance of mono with that claptrap! also i didn't mean to spam response you, just don't comment youtube much.

[MattyTheTurner]

I just broke up with my girlfriend. I won't pretend to know what real pain is, but... I thought it was the right decision. I thought this was the path we were supposed to take. And we would be happier this way.

And I was fine... until I heard this song and found an old photo of us, and I just lost it. I cried like a baby. Still am...

This song is so beautiful. Just like her.

[sezione1992L]

Pnk Floyd sound!

[ridingwhitpanico]

I have this music on repeat for at least three hours.

I can't go sleep now...

[miyaniman]

19 people are stereos..

[edwardconway27]

Japanese people is have a great brain and imagination!

[lefaki]

where is this place?

[AdriaFloriDeSoc]

this is beethoven of our days

[skcurryboy92]

if you'll excuse me, i have to find 19 people to backhand across the face.

[EnsonLeo84815]

Fantastic mood,like!

[jesusbuttcrack]

for some reason, this video feels alot like reading one of haruki murakami books.

[nowhennowhere]

@jesusbuttcrack: Exactly!

[SteveFlac7]

He has the white mask on because he is dead. That's why it's winter. He "crosses over" the bridge. He gets younger going back to a more pure and innocent being. He moves away from the tree of life meets up with his lost love and they move on together.

[SkySky1717]

Totally dig this video.

[jonnytheemo]

this sounds too much like my composition but i like it :)

[switzahland]

Is this all original footage?

[guyralstin]

sweetness,sadness,courage to take the mask off... an emotionally stirring video and song indeed!

[zeimon2]

This is like a silent orgasm in a silent night.

[Popmeister005]

/watch?v=OoWkx2LBz5g

check it out

[GabrieleSun]

ma favourite.

[MoguMoogle]

Does anyone else realise that this song seems to be based upon the World Map theme from Chronotrigger? First time I heard this song it seemed familiar, then it came to me after I heard that particular Chronotrigger theme, again.

[transientsmile]

@MoguMoogle Part of the melody reminds me of an Ayumi Hamasaki song or two. Can't decide if it's Heaven or Evolution.

[THeOLdMaNAC119]

I guess it's about us that we people lost our dream and identity to be yourself and just follow the society and trend around u not to be differed from other ( do good in school, get good job and good money). I think that's why the guy has no own face and he's trying to find the dream he've forgotten and the way back to be himself as same as when we were still young and full of dream and energy. That's why he took off his mask. This is just my opinion.
