I saw Monsune in concert on march 11 2020. I was at work that day and they told us not to come back in because of covid. We end up not going to work for months. During the concert I was nervous because it was brand new in the news, scared about covid, and of course nobody knew about masks. But it was amazing night. Look back at that and man was I lucky. Crowded room, no masks, in the middle of nyc the most infected city in the world at the time. Glad that it was the last concert I went to before there were no more concerts.

Anyone notice the meaning he has behind this song? He made a song for the enjoyment of it. He produced it and loved it hoping that it will get noticed, but in reality he won't be noticed. If you further look at his KZbin, the song cover "No One Knows Me" rings true. He made something amazing, but he knew he won't get anything in return and still won't be recognized. Honestly I hope this song gets more views and he gets recognized. Amazing, talent, and great song. I'm hooked on monsune. Hopefully he'll make a new song soon. All in all amazing song💕

[@blumer9615]

If he wants more recognition he needs to release more tracks.

M O N S U N E!!! I hope you read this because your song created one of the most magical moments I’ve ever had. My ex and I went to Disneyland on acid. I’m low-key trying to rekindle things(almost an 8 year relationship)We rode the teacups and had a blast so we went in again. I mentioned (while waiting in line) your song and video and how the the teacups just reminded me of it. It’s now our turn to get on again and he hands me an AirPod piece. He starts your song as we start to spin. We got a quick start and laid back as we spun. We gazed in each others eyes as we laughed. It was such an intimate beautiful moment, I just tear up thinking about it. I feel like I fell back in love. Although we’re not together (hopefully yet) I really felt like he did too. He even made your song his ringtone when I call him. I hope to listen to more songs and maybe see you live one day! Cheers 🎀

[@monsune]

hey... i'm sorry i missed this when you posted it, but this is such a beautiful story and i'm so glad you shared it. i never expected people to go through such emotional experiences with my song, but stories like yours make me want to keep doing this forever. thank you so much, and all the best with your relationship!

Lyrics ma bois: If you kept me waiting on your words Would you give me nothing in return? Said I'd promise you the world If you could do the same And I would go the distance If you could take the blame If you kept me waiting on your words Would you give me nothing in return? Said I'd promise you the world If you could do the same And I would go the distance If you could take the blame Said you change your state of mind with the clothes you wear But nothing ‘bout you's changed since you cut your hair I thought that I wanted to see if you could be the only one If you kept me waiting on your words Would you give me nothing in return? And I need to know if you'll be gone But I guess your silence keeps me warm

[@lanekarabani8084]

I love that this entire song is built off of samples and you added a unique voice over it all. the way it all comes together is enchanting!

[@lanekarabani8084]

@Shweta Patel I’m not a producer so i may not give the most accurate explanation, but Samples are little snippets of audio that someone else created. Samples are used for the purpose of recreating an idea, or improving/expanding upon a pre-existing idea. For example, the harp, trumpets, and the majority of the backing track on this song come from about three or four different songs, that were blended together, pitched up or down, scratched/edited, and fastened together to make a new song. Then Monsune puts his beautiful vocals on top and brings this then creation together! It’s quite awesome!

[@divinodayacap3313]

"And I need to know if you'll be gone But I guess your silence keeps me warm" that hits hard
