"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, Switzerland, the Netherlands and Flanders.
The track was one of those selected to promote contentious 1991 remix album History Revisited. The artwork for the single was supplied by James Marsh.
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." Songwriter Mark Hollis was inspired by the modal jazz of Miles Davis.
"Living in Another World" was covered by Lights featuring Darkstars for the 2012 tribute album Spirit of Talk Talk.
