@@inakoto ive always loved this sort of sound ever since i made a song with a similar lead in 2013, idk what it is,just hearing something so ominous used in a musical context like that always gets me
I little part of me wishes it continued progressing more and more into distortion and have the vocals come back in with more harmonic chaos mixed in there, but alas, I’m not the artist making the art. I still really love this song Porter! Can’t wait to see you live in August!
God I saw Frost Children live with George Clanton and Death's Dynamic Shroud last October and I never would have thought that they would have worked with Porter, this is so good 😭
You know, previous Porter records have made me want to chase the aesthetic and go find the mall in the sky so I can live there forever but I have to say this one doesn't really do that. What it does is makes me want to just go out in the real world and be a fucking human being living on planet earth experiencing life. I think I like that better.
Funnily enough I felt that coming the whole time, like the first 2/3rds of the song are beautiful with a hint of a chaotic aura in the background like it's just waiting to leap off a cliff when no one's looking lol
This might be one of my favorites from the album next to Russian Roulette and Kitsune Masion, the vocals hit so hard for me and the polarizing feel of the songs beginning and end just mix so well despite feeling so different, the glitching and stutters in between just make that so much better, definitely one of my favorite beats from the whole album
The lyrics to me are easy to understand what it's about, it's about a person who has meaningless relationships, but wants them when they actually lose the relationship. The Mona Lisa was hardly famous until it went missing, being stolen. The album is about Porter and his connection with his fans, but in this song love and this parasocial connection is blurred so I can understand if it's the most confusing song. But it's a certified banger for sure.
I feel it's more about when you like someone but they literally don't care. It could be a celebrity or just a one-sided relationship. It personifies the mona lisa, where she shees thousands of people come through every day and, to her, the character of the song means nothing to her. He mistakenly thinks she's thinking about him, and when he realizes that's not the case, he has a meltdown
the way i understood it is it's a song about the dynamic between creator/influencer/celebrity and fan, using the mona lisa painting as a framing device. porter plays around with a lot of love song tropes on this album but twisting them to fit around this fan/creator dynamic first verse can be seen from the perspective of this "mona lisa": "i love the way you're not insulted/when everyone stares" referencing how thousands will gather around to see this painting in person. to her she's meant to be shared and appreciated amongst all these people and not just admired by one most of the song is probably from the perspective of a parasocial fan who misguidedly believes that the "mona lisa" invests as much interest and emotional energy into them as they do her ("i like the way you do your makeup/it's just so sweet/*i know you do it for me*") when it clearly can't be the case since she has millions of fans around the world the bridge of the song is the fan coming to this realisation and not taking it well lol ("am i just/one more face through the door?/what's it all for?"), wanting the mona lisa all to themselves and attempting to "take them home", likely also a reference to the real theft of the mona lisa that occurred in 1911
It's about someone who becomes obsessed with the Mona Lisa and tries to steal it. Hence "am I just one more face through the door" / "just one more face through the door, I'm taking you home". He's just one more face through the door (just one of many people coming to see the painting) but so is she, if he manages to take her.
This is a psychopath who are so in love with the person in the painting. He want to take the painting so much that he killed the others. The contrasity of "ONE MORE FACE THROUGH THE DOOR" and the "𝓜𝓸𝓷𝓪 𝓛𝓲𝓼𝓪 𝓭𝓪𝓻𝓵𝓲𝓷𝓰~" in the background during the final arc is terrifyingly beautiful. The final part is like he is unconscious and still think about her: "Any minute, I'll wait for you" (in jail)
If i had a nickel for every time I found a romantic song titled 'Mona Lisa' that absolutely slaps, I'd have two nickels, which is not a lot but it's weird that it happened twice.
this is the closest we get to a new nurture song.. feels like nurture grew up and is going through its edgy teen phase lol hands down best song in the album, well, aside from cheerleader and KYO. this is third. I love the nurture/worlds vocal chops/distortion.
“SMILE! :D” is out now !! porterrobinson.co/SMILE
you just made our night, we love you bro
THIS IS SO JULIA
Just ordered the Nurture vinyl, So I’ll probably get SMILE :D next after that!
Also :D
Qualche italiano qui? :D
can't believe porter teamed up with mona lisa to make this banger
Aint it the song name?
@@FireionYes it is, it was a joke
tbh porter aint in his prime when teaming
I'm glad he teamed up with Michaelangelo
I thought he teamed up with dj not potter ribosome
Man this collab with Da Vinki is FIRE! Didn't see it coming 🗣️🔥
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
💯💯💯
Kitsune Maison Freestyle reference?
@@schernein1871 nice observation
That distorted synth hook is insane!
didn't know a nuclear alarm would get stuck in my head for hours

@@do1609 the detune on the lead is also amazing, also ikr!!
It's gutting that he's doesn't repeat the intro part exactly how is it again in the song! I do really like the song though
I better hear everyone at the live concert singing that OO AA AA AAAAA OOOOO. Thats gonna feel so euphoric omg
Can confirm. Absolutely incredible.
Here to say the ending bit was better because the whole crowd was shouting the lyrics
Michelangelo has been REAL quiet since Porter dropped this one.
I can hear a hint of Divinity from the "I-I-I" and it's nostalgic af
Go listen to the Divinity x Mona Lisa mashup, it's something else.
I'm still recovering from the gd unfold into divinity shock@@pseudo_goose
i had the idea of a Mona Lisa x All I Wanted Was You mashup. unfortunately i am not good enough at audio mixing to be able to make it myself
Without a doubt this is my favorite song in the entire album. The synths, the vocals... WHAT A BANGER
i feel you the same dude
protein ribosome youve done it again
I laughed out loud, thank you for this 😭
@@simplylily7819 me as well
Another banger to an already killer set of new songs. Can’t wait to hear these live in concert!
2:20-2:44 is such a pleasure to listen to! Those vocal chops and the stuttering is just *chefs kiss*
I little part of me wishes it continued progressing more and more into distortion and have the vocals come back in with more harmonic chaos mixed in there, but alas, I’m not the artist making the art. I still really love this song Porter! Can’t wait to see you live in August!

@@CharlotteLfleur ableton warp on beats mode actually
@@ashballofficialporter uses fl studio tho
God I saw Frost Children live with George Clanton and Death's Dynamic Shroud last October and I never would have thought that they would have worked with Porter, this is so good 😭
I saw them on that tour as well! It is awesome seeing them rise in popularity and collaborating with more and more artists.
WE NEED MORR 😭😭😭😭
THAT TOUR WAS INSANE

best track of the album. absolutely love this i love you porter thank you for everything
Favorite track of the album. Thank you Porter.
I JUST REALIZED. "if anything is anything you're everything to me". Everything to me . Like the LAST SONG OF THE ALBUM
what a plot twist at 2:54

WHO PAINTED THE MONA LISA???? PORTER ROBINSON.
Da Vinki?
Personal favorite of the album with cheerleader ♥️
same
fr
This song live is sooooo tight i had a feeling porter would drop some filth at the end live and he did dod not dissapoint
cannot fathom how porter travelled back in time to collab with davinci on this one
Collab of the decade methinks. For those who don't know Frost Children check out Speedrun and Hearth Room, both incredible albums.
I got them to sign my copy at a concert 😭♥️✨
They lowkey make the best collabs
Yo, Porter and Frost Children is the collab I never expected, but definitely needed! So cool
porter robinson will always make me cry
seeing Porter live next week and I WILL literally cry if this plays I gurantee
you're gonna love it bro such an amazing show!
@@Masterguy635 saw him 2 days ago and it WAAAAASSSS!!!!!!
frost children pulling up to perform this at forest hills was so crazy
So glad i'm alive this year for new Porter
I would fw and entire porter album that sounds like the last 50 seconds of this song. S+ tier outro especially vocals
best non-single and maybe even the best one from the album actually!!
This song is the ones which lyrics puzzle me the most, I simply cant make sense out of it
But yet
I love it
I think it's literally about the Mona Lisa (like the painting, in the Louvre) and how the singer wants to see her (and maybe steal her idk)
The lyrics to me are easy to understand what it's about, it's about a person who has meaningless relationships, but wants them when they actually lose the relationship. The Mona Lisa was hardly famous until it went missing, being stolen. The album is about Porter and his connection with his fans, but in this song love and this parasocial connection is blurred so I can understand if it's the most confusing song.

the way i understood it is it's a song about the dynamic between creator/influencer/celebrity and fan, using the mona lisa painting as a framing device. porter plays around with a lot of love song tropes on this album but twisting them to fit around this fan/creator dynamic
first verse can be seen from the perspective of this "mona lisa": "i love the way you're not insulted/when everyone stares" referencing how thousands will gather around to see this painting in person. to her she's meant to be shared and appreciated amongst all these people and not just admired by one
most of the song is probably from the perspective of a parasocial fan who misguidedly believes that the "mona lisa" invests as much interest and emotional energy into them as they do her ("i like the way you do your makeup/it's just so sweet/*i know you do it for me*") when it clearly can't be the case since she has millions of fans around the world
the bridge of the song is the fan coming to this realisation and not taking it well lol ("am i just/one more face through the door?/what's it all for?"), wanting the mona lisa all to themselves and attempting to "take them home", likely also a reference to the real theft of the mona lisa that occurred in 1911
It's about someone who becomes obsessed with the Mona Lisa and tries to steal it. Hence "am I just one more face through the door" / "just one more face through the door, I'm taking you home". He's just one more face through the door (just one of many people coming to see the painting) but so is she, if he manages to take her.

This is a psychopath who are so in love with the person in the painting. He want to take the painting so much that he killed the others. The contrasity of "ONE MORE FACE THROUGH THE DOOR" and the "𝓜𝓸𝓷𝓪 𝓛𝓲𝓼𝓪 𝓭𝓪𝓻𝓵𝓲𝓷𝓰~" in the background during the final arc is terrifyingly beautiful. The final part is like he is unconscious and still think about her: "Any minute, I'll wait for you" (in jail)
The alarm sound in the beginning, the running sound at the start of the final chorus is such a fine detail
Keep bein awesome~
Hear me out, a mv of Porter destroying and ripping the shit out of that inflatable dude.
