Music video by Of Monsters and Men performing King And Lionheart. (C) 2013 SKRIMSL ehf Laekjaras 1 under exclusive license to Universal Republic Records, a Division of UMG Recordings, Inc.
For anyone wondering, this song is about separation. Nanna, the female singer, has stated that it is about her brother - the king, and herself - the lionheart.
According to an statement from OMAM, "The song was written after her brother left with their father to Canada, leaving her and her mother behind in Iceland. She missed her brother and wished they could’ve grown up together."
*So i take it that the official video, in a fantasy, world depicts it.*
The kingdom falling apart - as the divorce of her parents.
The girl running after her brother - as how she missed her brother.
The monsters and bad guys - they could be negative emotions that appeared after her brother left *or,* a way to show how the world felt "evil" after she split up with her brother *or,* just be there as characters in that fantasy world.

"The monsters and bad guys - they could be negative emotions that appeared after her brother left or, a way to show how the world felt "evil" after she split up with her brother or, just be there as characters in that fantasy world." Umm how bout they could represent the fricken heartless parents that ripped apart siblings(half or not) is what i thought when i heard about this story years ago. Back when the top of the comments had the poor couple who lost a child to a heart defect. I'm not sure how comments work on TH-cam but who the hell wants to knock that story down a peg?
Thank you... I felt the feelings, but didn't ever know how real those emotions were to the songwriter. Ouch.
😭😭😭😭
Such a sad topic :(. My heart goes out to Ms. Nanna. I have had similar struggles with my divorce and with my relationship with my children. I cannot pretend to understand what it feels like to be separated from a sibling. My children were my life, and when I choose to give up custody of them, it broke something inside of me (soz for venting). There is a saying that your sibling/s is the person that you will know the longest in your life. I choose to move away from my family of origin and am now living back with them to take care of my parents. I am now getting to know my brother after being gone for over 20 years, and we are very different people. My hope for you is that you are able to continue being you. My prayer for you is that you be the best you that you can be, and my wish for you is that if you ever meet your brother, you treat him with love, kindness, and respect.
And you have one of the most amazing voices I have ever heard :)
"From the makers of the music video of "King and Lionheart" directly:
"King and Lionheart is a song Nanna wrote for her little brother that she doesn’t get to see that often. Her brother lives in Canada and she lives in Iceland, a world apart. Understandably, she feels very separated from her only sibling.
We knew that the song meant a lot to Nanna, so we needed to create a story that would hit home for her, the entire band, and their fans." "
You did it justice and we feel it.So different - and non-commercial - it hits home hard.Shows super imagination and creativity - I going to experience it again now.Hope to see more of this work.
K so here is the rub I have now been up to date with Icelandic music for a while now though bjork jonsi/Alex now of monsters and men I can say I personally know descendants from Iceland I know that they have few things to fill their time and music and art are in abundance their I love and respect their culture and would love to just sit and talk to them!!!
Love this quote shared, my son has Autism and requires high support and he LOVES OMAM. His little sister loves him so very fiercely, and this video makes me bawl nothing else, because its a visualization of their bond!!!
Mythicalthings m
666th like 😮
People say they cry when this song plays but it always makes me feel brave. Like I'm ready to draw my sword and face whatever comes.
Forgive joker
both crying and feeling brave hahaha
The power to belong when the everything says you don't. An old concept that still holds true.
I can see that. Depending where you're at in life, it can bring up a different emotion every time.
I won't hesitate to follow you into battle
Everyone listening in 2021, I hope you have a good day :)
Edit: 2024 and beyond!! Props to you for appreciating this masterpiece... best wishes to all of you❤️
Same to you 💜🌍
You too 💜
and so do I
Indeed...
Survivors.
❣️
I love how, after years of their first album release, people are still commenting theories about the stories in the lyrics and videos. That's the spirit of Of monsters and men.
I NEED TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENDED
@@zuba-chan9561 I like to think that little kids spirit animal grows up and becomes Dirty Paws and they both come back to save his sister.
Yes, very true.
@@heylookitsviet I believe that the woman gained powers and crash landed in little talks because she was chasing after his brother (or son) that was also going to another planet in the end of King and Lionheart. She then encounters the 5 men which she goes on a journey with. She then finds a monster which she didn't kill because she knew that was his brother (or son), you can tell because she was happy to see him and she didn't kill it off.
but this song is about her brother, most of people know about it. if you check the lyrics, she is telling about the folklore you can hear in Iceland, in the same time, you can notice she misses him and even far away, she won't leave or forget him
why am i just realising this band soundtracked my childhood. my parents and siblings always played these songs
Well you must have a legendary childhood, to this day some people havent found this song yet lmao yet when they hear it, it brings back their child hood. Thats what a great song can do haha
but this came out only 7 years ago
damn im old
@@qtkf69 aqaaqqaqqqq
Iittle talks was a flash back tbh. Found that a few months ago and was like ah thats what this was called.
Yep me too, funny thing is I didn't know this band's name but I knew their songs. Was a pain in the ass trying to find them with only a handful of lyrics in your head.
-"There’s no evil in sorcery, only in the hearts of men." -Merlin.
one question....how did you get a Quote from that long ago?!
That's kinda sexist ngl
Its only our left brain that makes distinctions, Our heart has proven to have braincells and thinks for itself yes, but the heart does not see good or bad, only love. Merlin apparantly a good sorceror not a good anatomist.
@@charedits333 Oh boy are you in for a surprise when you read poems. 'men' here is used to address both sexes. Just the way 'mankind' is used. The sexism here only exists in your deluded imagination.
@@terrybeckett2512 I know men can be used for all sexes but that one sounded like they actually mean men
People cry because it’s an AMAZING song! My son was born with a congenital heart defect. He is my king and I am his Lionheart. He passed away after 53 days. They lyrics of this song are perfect and this is my song to my babe, wherever he may be. Mama’s there with him always.
Well you picked a great song to dedicate to your son. Sorry for your loss.
Él siempre será tu rey y tu su corazón de león.
What an amazing angel you have with you and to be with.
God bless you and your son, you have a beautiful soul🕊
I'm really sorry 😞 to hear you had lost your son... may his soul rest in peace 🙏 🪦..
"And we won't run, and we won't run, and we won't run."
**Majority of the music video consists of running**
I would call it a light jog ☝️😌
***** Lol.
MarshyButterfly "And we won't lightly jog,And we won't lightly jog?
OMFG lol
+MarshyButterfly
lol
There is just a special feeling I feel when I hear this song.
Brings back good old memories...
Nostalgia?
I know what you feel, i feel it with other songs. :)
Me too when I'm still a kid when everything was easy and full of joy😢
That's because you were listening to it while in an emotional situation and that emotion is triggered by this song.
+Ben Gascon it was just 3 years ago..
After two siblings have been separated because of a divorce, they try to reconnect with one another. They insist that they're still the same people they were before the divorce but as the sister grew older, she changed (which is what I believe those floaty animals represented. Since she lost her animal and her brother didn't.) Because of this, they are unable to reform the bond they once had.
This is what I took out of the video :)
Kinda close. Nana's parents divorced and her mom took her little brother to Canada, which was really painful for them. I'm pretty sure that what the song is about.
wtf
they got divorced?
were they married?
Pinkiepyro1 Lol no. After their parents divorced, they were separated. Incest is not Wincest
ZippyZiggyfy ;)
dude just become an english teacher
Just to repeat the best lines once again: “As the world comes to an end, I'll be there to hold your hand cause you're my king and I'm your lionheart."
Whoever did the cinematography for this deserves an award
If anyone’s is confused , this video and basically the band overall is about men/monsters basically being the same. And the evil and corruption by humanity. And staying pure and not consumed by it.
Where did you get this answer?
Trigger me? Lol, no. I was honestly wondering is this was the interpretation for the video. I didn’t even take men as men anyways, I took it as people.
I remember that scene now. Genius.
What do you mean cosumed by it, how?
I always thought it was a play on the title of the book of mice and men, but this interpretation kinda means the same thing
You can't just end a story like that!
Bailey Dean I know right? They need a second part to this song
Bailey Dean not all stories have an happy ending... welcome to the real world...
Richard Carlson Reminds of a line from a movie I like.
Bailey Dean I think the girl is the rainbow one in little talk and the boy is the monster since the monster's forehead statue is the same design as the rocket he gets trapped on
The song was based off of the lead singer and her brother. Who she never met. It’s sad but it’s basically her story of losing her brother :(
Listening in 2023, and I can still say this is one of the greatest songs that I have heard
True❤
Same.....and it is 2024.
Heard it back in the day , still applicable to this day. ❤️🩹
@@helenadavies5674 yesss
this is what you call it ART .
la gente
Haha lionart haha
I'll show myself out.
This band is just remarkable.
@@sumitmhatre8419 No, stay, it was funny.
Who else holds this song as their favourite song by this band?
Ronnie James Dio love this song
One of my favorites but gotta say little talks still holds my number one spot
Ronnie James Dio me
Cole Hanson same
This is my favourite band
I love the overall look and feel of this video, its so beautiful and poignant, yet i feel it will never get all the credit it truly deserves.
I feel the same
8 million views, clearly not the proper credit, such a good song though
They do make some really good video
i love their videos.
Sarah Kent I agree with you.
This has to be one of my favorite music videos ever. The animation, storytelling, and _especially_ the stylization are all just so good.
never heard such a beautiful song with such a sad video.
but the song rocks!!
Charles Ferris how is the video sad
jill mont the kid gets separated from his mother forever!!
minecraftmayhem 67 that's his sister not mother
minecraftmayhem 67 and thx I thought she reunited or something with him
MAKE A MOVIE BOUT DIS STUFF, IT'S AMAZING
watch merlin
True artists. There's so much colors and emotions in their songs, the melodies and the lyrics
i know right
on a late night browse.....think of two bands iv not heard in years,ofmonstersandmen and the lumineers!!
its been a good night ;-)
mac ss same as me
Amirul Ramadhan omg same
I came here after having watched all of The Lumineers’ video on TH-cam wow
No lie I just started watching this right after a Lumineers binge what the actual fuck!!
vanishingeffect same af
how the fuck do they make so many beautiful songs
no one fucking knows they just do
+meera nepal I have a theory: abandon the idea of a certain band member with a prolific ability to write tunes. In my somewhat cynical view of the world I think it may involve a fancy musical note algorithm ran on a bank of supercomputers inputting sounds to a bank of disembodied human brains. The real genius to the whole diabolical scheme is to accurately track higher levels of dopamine in the brains(disembodied and all) when a favorable note sequence is found. They say imitation is they highest form of flattery. I disagree I think being compared to the diabolical schemes fueled by corporate greed is the highest. :-P
Because they are of monsters and men not just men 🤔
Oh god, that ending! How can they do this to us?
Would you expect anything less?
lol
I don't understand the ending
Can’t believe how old this song is . My old play list popped up and can’t stop listening to this song . Such a good song
I love the way in one of the choruses, the lyrics change from "you're a king and I'm a lionheart" to "you're my king and I'm your lionheart".
It's the little things like that that make this song even more perfect.
"Though far away, we're still the same"
This hits harder now, during quarantine
Don't mind me crying me eyes out in this corner over here...
i think her/his sister.........
im not sure if hes a boy xD
Norvin Mark Cabasag
it's a sister and a brother haha
Adrian Jones same :(
" Don't mind me crying me eyes out in this corner over here "..
communistjesus
Bawling my eyes out, this song has a different meaning to me. I lost my brother to a freak accident in August 2017, it’s coming up on that time of year, the Holidays always hit the hardest without him and my Grandmother. This song I feel as though keeps us connected, it gives me strength to keep trudging through the murky waters and climbing the steep mountains always remembering his light is with me to guide me along the way 💕
Hugs to you Kelli
I’m so sorry for your loss, and I’m glad this song gives you some comfort
Sorry for your loss.The holidays are the hardest for me too😭
I'm sorry for your lost 😔...
Wish he speaks to your heart
What if the little girl in King and Lionheart becomes the super flying girl in Little Talks and the boy becomes the big amazing colorful monster and that's why she looks so happy when meet him? The girl in Little Talks has the same bumps as the siblings!
+Ismael Trindade she becomes Queen Amidala
+EldestSauce Hey! It might well be true! A pre prequel of Star Wars.
OMG! Until that makes sense
+Ismael Trindade You just made me so happy you don't even know!
+Okami Kitsune it would be great, wouldn't it?
WOOOOOOW....BEST VIDEO IVE EVER SEEN
me too!
thaanks a loooot............was looking for NEW music right now.....
+ariel stocco i know right.......... it give me weird feel it call G something and it give me too much and it my first time saw that and am in love....... how.......i am deaf and love listen to song but this video make me feel sad and need to know that no matter how u hate or love your family they are your family.......... help me.... and i am crying.............
+Ben Moran I really feel for you☺
Aneeza Arfeen is that a song or a messege for ben moran?
This sums up Arthur and Merlin. The king and his lionheart. Two sides of the same coin. Both would die for the other, both would kill for the other. They were each other destiny. And in the end, Merlin lost his other half, in his arms, and had to live eternity waiting for his return. Never running away. A lionheart waiting for his king to come back.
You came from the video also, I've been looking for a merthur comment for ages
I WAS THINKING THE EXACT SAME THING! This song is so perfect for them fr
I'm just watching merlin now and definitely this is how i see Arthur and merlins relationship
💝💝 and to top off
If you watch little talks video
Its the same story
i didn't expect to see a merlin fan on this comment section but here we are, and i'm glad
I agree. Just perfect for their relationship
I play this song when I’m happy, sad, mad, in love, etc. I don’t know what I’d do without this song
My bestfriend recently passed away at the age of 38.. Her life was cut short. She was a beautiful soul and im crushed.. She died from a massive heart attack. This was our song. I miss you more than words can describe dara. I feel dead without you! Fly with the angels till we meet again.
Dustin Hersel I’m sorry about the beautful dara. You might find this hard to believe but the dead will live again. Search more information on jw.org. It has helped me to be hopeful about many I lost in death.
Sorry to hear and condolences... my cousin died at the age of 39 because of a massive heart attack
May the souls of all your loved ones rest in peace folks 🙏🏼
sending my love, ik how hard it is. she is in a much better place and you will see her again one day.
well i guess she had a lionheart
It would be cool if they made a movie in this style.
you're gay
joshua Chaimson im sorry are you aware that im a male? Or are you too fucking stupid to know that
Jada Fonseca I'm obsessed with this style
This was one of my favourite songs when I was seven years old and now I am thirteen and I have listened to it again and I still love it
thats nice!!!
You're what, 16, 17? Listen to it again. It still bops.
You have good taste, and a true heart.
Now ur 17 come back listen 😊
Me....fell in love with this group several years ago....70 and still know great music......
eyegasm and eargasm at the same damn time
“And as the world comes to an end
I'll be here to hold your hand
'Cause you're my king and I'm your lion-heart...”
To those of you who have found this type of love, hold on to it and care for it, for I haven’t...and I would wish for nothing more
You will
Soon
#weddingdance
Still waiting for this kind of love
Wax Clone it doesn’t have to be romance. It can be pure frentship. Even mom to daughter. Sister brother son but also I hope you find love romance kind
Someday you WILL find love
I read a theory online about how the Little Talks video is a continuation of this, years later. The two had a metamorphosis that I suspect comes with their species and the sister is the main spirit/entity that guides the four men across the lands and away from danger. Then she is reunited with her brother who has become a giant beast thing because of whatever happened on that ship...but anyways they're reunited. I like to think some backup for this claim is that the sister's clothing makeup and look is similar to the spirit in the Little Talks video.
i agree with that, dont you just love how they make her (lead singer of the band) look in the videos that shes in. they need to continue this story ling
I agree, great thought
I agree if you hear the lyrics theyre talking about meeting each other after death so I think theyre together but dead idk
yellow lights could be a part of her searching for him? he could be the voice o:! and that lakehouse song could be some old memory for them both, remembering good old times o: just a thought.. i think also that "six weeks" could be a part of it, her wandering the Woods after running away from the barbarians listening to some sort of spirit connection
I have to add to this, no matter how late I am.
If you listen to the lyrics of 'Little Talks' they say:
'You're gone, gone, gone away, I watched you disappear,'
Does that not sound like the rocket scene?
Still to this day one of greatest songs I’ve ever heard (2021 update).
fuck yeah
2023. How we feeling
June 9 2023
Still true! Such a timeless ballad.
Update 2023
Jesus, reading the comments you would think this song is the soundtrack to every tragedy that ever was
So thats the beauty of music though right? You personalize it when you dig a song.
Gouranga56 I guess for some folks it is. I don’t relate to music that way. I usually try and take it as is, or find what the artist was going for. Rarely ever does it feel like a song i some how pertinent to my personal life. Maybe thats just me 🤷♂️
@@Hellgrinde and that's ok! lol.
Honestly some songs have the saddest comment section
Exactly. People keep commenting their woes as if somebody reading the comments care...
This song brings memories of 14 year old me struggling in secondary school with self confidence and finding myself, just fighting through everyday and holding a fake smile to get through - I remember playing this song and ‘Little Talks’ after school all the time and it made everything so much better, still gives me chills hearing it now🙌🌟
Wow.
That's not at all what either of those songs are about but ok-
I hope you're doing well now..
I was 14 at that time too and life was shit ..
Thank God life is much better for me now
Same. :/
I am currently recovering from a suicidal attempt and my best friend sent me this❤️
-thanks to all the people who stood with me and kept me safe
-and to those ppl that made me like this I hope y’all change
If this was a video game, I would love to try it.
try "inside"
Carrot Eater
Play Ori and the Blind Forest.
I'm on it
yeah imagine that
It kind of reminds me of the last guardian, I'd start there.
I remember that my daughter was about 12 when this first came out, and we were dealing with the total breakdown of our family, so to try to soften the pain of our situation, we spent a lot of time together, reading, listening to music (the discovery of OMAM was one of the brightest lights during a really dark time), and I watched her play a lot of video games. I remember how much I used to think of ICO when this would come on, especially when I saw the video. It still can make me cry because I know that nothing is forever, but it makes me feel brave as well because I have faced that too and mostly prevailed.
I wonder if the black scary machine monsters often seen in this video are references to the ones in 'dirty paws'. I think dirty paws is an analogy; the bees represent some sort of monsterous race that lived underground, and they "decided the sky wasn't big enough for them all". King and Lionheart could just be a turn of events that happened in this giant war. The birds could be some sort of superior power that called upon a creature known as "dirty paws". Another thought; what if the girl shown in "King and Lionheart" is also the girl in "Little Talks"? What if the bees knew she could have such enormous power so they locked her away in that rock thing? This ones a stretch; what if that cat thingie in the end of "Little Talks" is somehow her brother(featured in this video), because they are both equally powerful? She did smile when she saw it, and it seemed like they were traveling to it...but that's just a thought.
Kim McElroy brilliant
Kim McElroy yeah there's a story going on here
JUST A THOUGHT!? NO NO ITS A THEORY :DD SUPPORTED BY US!
Kim McElroy Holyshit this theory made me nut 😴
imagine it's just a story of travelling with family and you leave some behind, or could just be a music vid that has a totally spiritual meaning and we are all looking for lion hearts and little talks regardless maybe people have mountain's to climb and some of is have dirty paws
This music video = visual art that compels a somewhat emotional but clear story with the intense use of imagination
Bang Bang music video= portraying women as objects,body exploitation, not to mention the subtle yet strong sexual lyrics
But which one has more views?
WAKE UP AMERICA
Ikr
It's not just America. It's the whole world. The world needs to wake up. Actually, humans do.
WAKE UP THE ENTIRE HUMAN RACE
Yeah! Wake up and disobey your clear biological programming!
/sarcasm/
Of Mumford & Bastille I think this band is not the evil, evil is selfishness, materialism, capitalism, USA.
Of Monsters and Men depict their own fairytales through their music. The way they depict their stories are heartwarming and sad, yet clever. The extent of skill this band shows is amazing and never will they gain the full credit they deserve.
They seriously don't have a bad song. Lol I saw an article called "where are they now"....you know like they do for bands from like the 80s lol. Their last album was in 2019 and was great. Somehow their music just feels Norse inspired, I can't put a finger on it but even without the imagery of their videos it feels Norse Pagan. And I love it. And they have the emotional storytelling that I am.just stunned by, especially not being American they speak to a lot of emotion that comes from the despair of being American.
They are from Iceland after all
this vide could make one cool Sci Fi movie
It sure would make a good sci-fi movie, that's for sure!
especially with a cool drop off like that one.
Big question I ask A LOT: WHAT HAPPENS IN THE END l:D I wanted to see what happened in the end...
Little Talks is the sequel :D
Its not sci fi its fantasy
it's a mix of the 2
I don't know where I heard this, because I know I heard it from someone else, but I always think of Aslan and Lucy when I hear this song. Aslan is her king and Lucy is his little lionheart
Yeah I see that, I just think of me and my sister and how awful it would be if we were torn apart and that's what makes the song so emotional for me
Imogen Hansen same
Yeaaaahhh! Same!
Emily Caballero yas
I loved Narnia. It really reminds me of this song
This song is meant to be about a brother and sister who were separated during a war. The older sister goes to look for her brother after she escapes her prison. She finds out he has been killed (the thing taking him away in the music video) and accepts that she is going to be killed and reunited with her brother. (This is all assumptions I think this is what happened)
Valid
Thank You For The Venom Yep. And if you go to their site you can see the making of the video and learn that it was inspired by the female vocalist having a sibling but not able to see them very much and missing them.
Oh, didn't know that, thanks.
+Thank You For The Venom Could be that the rocket was him being extracted from the war-torn area, leaving the sister behind.
+Comrade Silly Otter Yeah, that's a possibility. And more believable
The story telling they do in there songs is so fucking amazing. It paints a brand new world where some how everyone is in. It full of mythology and magic and is just enchanting.
My mom use to sing this to me on her guitar, that was at least 4-5 years ago...
I can't believe it's already 2018, I'm in middle school now...wow
AAARRRMMMYYY
I was in middle school in 2000. time flies. Enjoy it!
i come from 30762 :P
Wow your mom sounds awsome

Did you NEED to ask if Courtney NEEDED to cuss? Is that not indicative of your nature to peacock your 'higher' standards onto other people?
Welcome to the internet, where doctrines come to die.
I was little when I listened to this band and now that I am listening to it again it fills me with nostalgia to know that in those years I was happy without knowing it
yes LITERALLY this ^^^
I never want this band to break up. It has one of a kind of music I can't find anything similar so +of monsters and men. Keep up the work. And stay strong
I think i've found my favorite band
Yeah, you and me both.
Your old favorite band is demanding visitation rights to see the kids and half of your music collection
+rurutu M, haha.
+rurutu M lmfao
they are awsome
Such gritty realistic with a touch of fantasy. Brilliant.
I stumbled across this song after listening to Little Talks.
The feeling when you realize that you've heard this song years ago and loved it then forgotten it but here you are, listening to it again.
It's just refreshing and nostalgic all the same time
omg. i listened to this song so many years ago, forgot about it, then remembered it finally today and listened to it again. it’s so funny you said that
Dirty paws is top tier too : )
Lyrics:
Taking over this town, they should worry,
But these problems aside I think I taught you well.
That we won't run, and we won't run, and we won't run.
And in the winter night sky ships are sailing,
Looking down on these bright blue city lights.
And they won't wait, and they won't wait, and they won't wait.
We're here to stay, we're here to stay, we're here to stay.
Howling ghost they reappear
In mountains that are stacked with fear
But you're a king and I'm a lion-heart.
A lion-heart.
His crown lid up the way as we moved slowly
Pass the wondering eyes of the ones that were left behind.
Though far away, though far away, though far away
We're still the same, we're still the same, we're still the same.
Howling ghost they reappear
In mountains that are stacked with fear
But you're a king and I'm a lion-heart.
And in the sea that's painted black,
Creatures lurk below the deck
But you're a king and I'm a lion-heart.
And as the world comes to an end
I'll be here to hold your hand
'Cause you're my king and I'm your lion-heart.
A lion-heart, a lion-heart, a lion-heart, a lion-heart
A lion-heart, a lion-heart, a lion-heart, a lion-heart
Howling ghost they reappear
In mountains that are stacked with fear
But you're a king and I'm a lion-heart.
And in the sea that's painted black,
Creatures lurk below the deck
But you're a king and I'm a lion-heart.
A lion-heart, a lion-heart, a lion-heart, a lion-heart
A lion-heart, a lion-heart, a lion-heart, a lion-heart
Thanks
thankee!
Thank you mate
I hear creatures lurk below the sand not deck

I can understand the divorce metaphore and the siblings being separated. In the minute 1:46 it shows the fight between the men of the same army and the boy looking sad and dissapointed, as a kid would look at their parents when they argue. The first time I watched this video I automatically asumed they were brother and sister, it just gives that feeling.
The visual narrative in this video is touching, but for me especially it's come to represent the relationship that I have with my son who was taken from me by a faulty court system and a judge who did not believe that a single, disabled woman could "as effectively raise a child as well as a married father" and put him in the hands of a man who was ignored his existence almost entirely for 10 years. This video has become our special little way of acknowledging to one another that I will always fight for him even if I can't win, I will always find him, and I will always follow him no matter how far the world pulls him away from me.
Love this band and their music. Wish they'd come out with more
What is the art even what is what in translation
I love the animations they've done for the music video
"And as the world comes to an end, I'll be here to hold your hand," I think that's the most beautiful lyric in the song.
I didn't expect that sort kinda of ending I mean...
Every father longing for his children can relate to this- we wait for and love you more than you can know now
the first time I see this video have only 2.000.000 views, so proud that have 23.269.171 now ^-^
congratulations.
i feel like crying evertime
They do meet in the end. Watch 'little talks' next. The monster that the girl meets in the end of that video is her little brother. Look at the way she smiles when he sees him instead of killing it off.
How ??? little talks is a older song of this one a d the video too.
Maliha Sultana I didnt realized that
But, the Male in Little Talks has passed...
@@ivanserrato7041 it could have been planned before
THANK YOU
One of the most beautifully conceived visuals to accommodate such an extraordinary composition.
I’ve been fortunate enough to see this band in concert three times. They are amazing.
When my kitten, Bandit!, died this song helped my through my grief. I still cry listening to it. And thank you for helping me deal with his loss.
Guys you might say ''WHY BAD ENDING''but that's not really the ending,4 songs in the album acuatly make a story,dirty paws is part 1,mountain sound is part 2,king and lionheart is part 3,little talks is part 4,(sorry if I misspelled some words)
how do they connect?
my theory: 'Dirty Paws' is about those people taking over, 'Mountain Sound' and 'Kind and Lionheart' are both about the boy and girl trying to get back to one another, and that flying rainbow girl in 'Little talks' is the girl? idk :p
Mingus the Derpy Bobcat it's the happy ending because all the monsters and evil has been destroyed.
Holy cow! Your right! It all makes sense now.. still sad tho 😞
Theory:
This story is continued in Little Talks,
where she meets her friend/son again after the war and they reunite.
idk if that even makes sense, go watch that video
@@Nomadical Yeah, she's the woman in little talks (at least that's how I see it!)
Kayla Varady no it doesn’t 😂 I was thinking the same but more times I see both videos I become more confused so
I agree but I think that they are brother and sister
@@lenaevergold6622 same
Wow amazing theory and make sense
Finally, a song that doesn't have the comments disabled. I've been having that for every single song I want to listen to.
I looked into that recently because it's been getting on my nerves, too. Turns out it's some new crap that TH-cam is doing--- often against the wishes of the video-owner--- but no one can figure out exactly why.
@@InAHollowTree Probably something to do with how toxic people in comment sections can be. We come to listen to music, not be bullied by armchair warriors.
This song will always have a special place in my heart.
For anybody who needs it
You helped. A lot. Thank you.
***** Thanks so much, it's funny because IRL I stutter and misuse words. xD Funny how things work
Luke Ham No problem, it's why I'm here.
This comment is so meaningful ;u;
Rachel Graves Theheh, thanks
The video gives me so many feels.
This band is a treasure.
I thought I liked mountain sound by them but this is my new favorite song by them :)
These guys have the best music videos on TH-cam and this is the best I've seen
Taking over this town they should worry,
But these problems aside I think I taught you well.
That we won't run, and we won't run, and we won't run.
[Another version's additional line:] That we won't run, and we won't run, and we won't run.
And in the winter night sky ships are sailing,
Looking down on these bright blue city lights.
And they won't wait, and they won't wait, and they won't wait.
We're here to stay, we're here to stay, we're here to stay.
Howling ghosts - they reappear
In mountains that are stacked with fear
But you're a king and I'm a lionheart.
A lionheart.
His crown lit up the way as we moved slowly
Past the wondering eyes of the ones that were left behind.
Though far away, though far away, though far away
We're still the same, we're still the same, we're still the same.
Howling ghosts - they reappear
In mountains that are stacked with fear
But you're a king and I'm a lionheart.
And in the sea that's painted black,
Creatures lurk below the deck
But you're a king and I'm a lionheart.
And as the world comes to an end
I'll be here to hold your hand
'Cause you're my king and I'm your lionheart.
A lionheart. [8x]

I love the video because I perceive the girl and boy as friends (rather than siblings idk just bear with my analogy) and these two friends are trying so hard to be united again they jump off cliffs for eachother but at the end somehow remain distant.
And this personally is some type of allegory for what's going in my life (college wise) my friend and I are trying so hard to go to a university in the same country at least but nothing's working out. And so I'm left to watch her leave while life (similar to the evil creatures in the video) drains me down.
awe that must be horrible :-( hope some of things you wish could happen do happen though :-)
Andrea Hernandez
Thank you! Hopefully :-)
I know how you feel, same thing happened to all of my friends after high school.
i dont think there friends i think they are brothers or sisters
diedoe boss Does it really matter? -.-
this song still gives me chills 8 years later..
I still remember singing this song 4 years ago at our school concert. The Good days :’)
Every time I hear this song. I feel as if it tells the story of a Great knight, who grew up with a friend from childhood. His friend became King and he was knighted to protect him and keep him safe. He was a great king, and an even better friend. They prepare for battle and all seems hopeless as they are outnumbered but the king leads the charge into the forces. They are immediately cut off and all that stands between the enemy and the king is the knight. He fights with everything he has slaying all in his path but is mortally wounded. He continues to fight knowing that he has to protect his friend....
that's beautiful
Oddly specific but I like your creativeness
Are you talking about BBC Merlin?
Anita Kumaran I WAs thinking the same😂
@@putyourfavoritevinequotehe9364 Ahahahah.. Right? It's perfect 😍
This song gives me chills every time.
this band is so close to my heart and brings back so much nostalgia. My dad and I always sing their songs together and that's something special we have.
amo essa banda😍
que voz!!!!
This video speaks to me as the system robbing the youth of their childhood and the spark of faith reclaiming, running back to the inner child.
who cried after this video? I sure did.
me :,(
+rusne pakalniskyte me 2 T_T
me:(
That's boring
+Joshua Branquinho you boring
After spending almost a year in Lockdown and knowing the whole world is suffering so much, this song gives me courage to face the future..
keep going, we can all face it together :)
