In this episode of The Mono Logs, we venture into the wistful and poetic world of a brooding prince, trapped in a gilded cage of privilege and isolation. Inspired by The Smiths’ hauntingly iconic “How Soon is Now,” we reimagine the song as a Shakespearean monologue—an emotional plea for love, connection, and belonging.

With the weight of his title pressing down on him and the tantalizing freedom of the world just out of reach, our prince bares his soul. Through his lament, he reminds us that no matter our station in life, the need to love and be loved is the most human desire of all.
