"Living in Another World" is a song by British band Talk Talk. It was recorded for the band's 1986 album The Colour of Spring and was the second single from the album, making the top 40 in Germany,[6] Switzerland,[7] the Netherlands[8] and Flanders.[9]

The track was one of those selected to promote contentious 1991 remix album History Revisited.[10] The artwork for the single was supplied by James Marsh.

Composition

The song has been noted for its cyclical musical structure. Kenny Anderson, aka King Creosote: "I never tire of [the song], and yet I don't quite understand how they managed to make it sound like a musical version of that famous Escher staircase."[11] Songwriter Mark Hollis was inspired by the modal jazz of Miles Davis.[12]. In an interview on the italian TV in 1987, Hollis explained that the studies of Jean-Paul Sartre inspired the lyrics.

Artwork

The illustration for the song continued the "moth" theme developed by James Marsh for the Colour of Spring album and singles.[13] It was the only painting in the series to have pre-existed, having been created by Marsh for his first book. It appeared opposite a verse entitled "Tiger Moth".[14]

Cover versions

"Living in Another World" was covered by Lights featuring Darkstars for the 2012 tribute album Spirit of Talk Talk.[15]
