The trip-hop duo Mono was formed by the vocalist Siobhan De Maré and producer Martin Virgo. Their songs are mainly influenced by jazz, '60s pop and classic film-soundtracks. Life in mono is a song in the American film Great Expectations soundtrack which earned a high profile for the duo. So far they only have one album: Formica Blues. Personally I found "life in mono" is the best in this album. I've uploaded this song to my space, those interested can download from this site:

The lyrics for songs in Formica Blues can be found in this site:
Life In Mono by Mono
The stranger sang a theme
From someone else's dream
The leaves began to fall
And no one spoke at all
But I can't seem to recall
When you came along
Ingenue
Ingenue
I just don't know what to do
The tree-lined avenue
Begins to fade from view
Drowning past regrets
In tea and cigarettes
But I can't seem to forget
When you came along
Ingenue
Ingenue
I just don't know what to do
Muhahahaha, after some painstaking search, I managed to find most of the songs in Formica Blues. You can find them here:

ReplyDeleteword of the day, ingenue = naive girl
I like "mono" too :-). It's soft and smooth...they've got a great sound.
ReplyDeleteNice entry!
ReplyDeleteLove the song.
Love the movie.
Maybe u could do a deconstruction (analysis) of the lyrics.Seems to have many interesting underlying themes embedded in them.
cheers!
gosh! i didn't know you guys read it so soon after i put it up... thanks anyway :)
ReplyDeleteumm... so i uploaded other songs of their album.
to esther: um, it's a bit hard to analyze... cos i've problems with logical thinking and interpreting... what i know is that the singer really got a light voice... besides a deconstruction is like an article review, and i don't like essay writing... T_T
Yeah Ya thanx for uploading the complete album! I'll give you feedback after I go through the tracks ^^
ReplyDeletePosting a comment to see if you guys can see it.
