''And these fingertips, will never run through your skin And those bright blue eyes can only meet mine across a room Filled with people that are less important than you.''
For me this song speaks volumes and I get the feeling that the message speaks to itself like looking in a mirror. If you cannot love yourself then how can anyone love you! This was the first time that I have heard anything from Of Monsters and Men...I Love their sound and the raw music added to the raw voice sounds fantastic, makes for easy listening and I love Of Monsters and Men already!
I recently found this band, and i absolutely love, love, love them. I wish i heard them before; there absolutely amazing. Just puts you in a state of clearing your mind.
This was the soundtrack of my first love, so deep, but external reasons forced us to end it. "Before we dwell on it." I cried so hard to this a few times, now it's an old ache.
So today I went on a quest to find new music, new bands, a new sound. The kind of music you don't typically hear on the radio. I discovered Of Monsters and Men, The Paper Kites, A Fine Frenzy, The Shins, and more. I don't think I'll ever be able to appreciate anyone like Justin Bieber, Nicki Minaj, Katy Perry, etc.; ever again. I now know what true music is
I really love this song, to me the best part is the chorus because; she starts out with telling that she can't love and even then he continues to love - but then she tells that she can't love him and he still loves her. To me that is just amazing, I don't know why, but it just is. (Sorry for my english, it's not my native language)
It makes me cry that I have to decide between waiting for their music to become available in the UK or have to get it for free :,( RELEASE IN THE UK NOW!
I saw them in Sweden about a year and change ago, but couldn't find any of their stuff out here. I think it's great that Little Talks made it big the way it did so Of Monsters and Men have a chance to share their incredible sound and messege with those of us here in the U.S. that still understand what real music is. Indie rocks my face off.
Both versions of this song are so beautiful. The album version feels like a heartache poured into a confessional, the slow nature of the album version is so powerful for this narative. Gives the listener the impression that the love is hopeless to attain almost. In comparison this version seems happier? almost. Still pretty emotional, but the gutair in this feels optomistic! Regardless would love a small official release with both versions available. Its been years since I've discovered this wonderful band, and i still always find myself coming to this video for this version after listening to My Head is Animal in full.
This song is SO incredibly painful. And these fingertips Will never run through your skin And those bright blue eyes Can only meet mine across the room filled with people that are less important than you... Wow. Hurts, hurts, hurts.
Of Monsters & Men strikes you to the core when you compare the words and meanings of their songs to your own life. So remember always listen to their songs more than 20 times =)
THIS version of the song... is so amazing. Far superior to the studio-cut. Just lay down some pretty vocals, and let the raw excellence of acoustic guitar do the rest. I wish this was the version on their CD. :(
Just sharing my opinion but I think that it's a beautiful thing to see a lot of people swaying to the same music. It's like.. you may not speak the same language, come from the same background or even have the same reason for liking it, but the song still brings us together all the same But my point is, that it would be rather lonely to be the only one who knew about this song. You wouldnt be able to relate much & you wouldnt be able to see it in so many ways. I see where you're coming from too
I remember finding this on youtube years ago (this exact video), looking for this on itunes and not finding it, and its so funny to cme back now! (although, i must say, now i hear this is a different version, this ones even more beatiful)!
Es realmente maravilloso el trabajo que hace esta gente para deleitarnos con su música, y, como no esa voz tan dulce que escuchamos.Un saludo a tod@s.Fito.
but its actually kinda inspiring too, just because we cant have someone they way we would love- doesn't mean we cant still appreciate their beautiful existence =D
This version makes me so much happier than the version on the album.
Baatile Mamabolo listened to this version first! I agree it's best.
Me too
Listened to this version first. Will always love it

Better than what actually ended up coming out,more sincere.
def agree
They are probably one of the fastest growing bands in the world right now.
Barefoot brought me here. Such a beautiful movie.

i want to cry so much.

is here anyone after listening to "visitor"?
i miss the old omam

They are soooo great. Makes me proud to be a fellow Icelander :) And Nanna is so beautiful, well the rest of the group also!
Ive loved of monsters and men long before they became so famous.
But i think its great that they are so popular now because they deserve it :)
this version is beautiful!
This is the kind of band where you love them so much you want to be the only person in the entire world who knows about them...
How could I not like this song? I think I was too much obsessed with Little talks... but now I have realised this song is really great :)
I love all the versions of this song. The older ones are very interesting.
It makes me cry that I have to decide between waiting for their music to become available in the UK or have to get it for free :,( RELEASE IN THE UK NOW!
Beautiful song. Says so much in such few words.
They took a story about friendzoning and made a great song. Genius!

this piece speaks to me on a soulular level
You are a saint. Its so nice to see not everyone is corrupt and thinks only their style of music is the right one. Much respect to you my friend!
I love this version, it's so beautiful
I have not appreciated generic chart music ever since I started listening to music and straight away knew what good and brilliant music is :)
Her voice is so perfect !!!!!!
This band literally saved my life.
Both versions of this song are so beautiful. The album version feels like a heartache poured into a confessional, the slow nature of the album version is so powerful for this narative. Gives the listener the impression that the love is hopeless to attain almost.

of monsters and men are on the radio all the time...
amazing band. they are going to be huge.
The artwork on this album is awesome!!!
Love love love this song.
U are the kind of people who keep me going supporting music like this.
This song lifts me up in the air and has me soaring over the mountains!
One of the best songs I've heard in a long while
of monsters and men, the lumineers, and the mumford and sons have helped me through so much!
And those bright blue eyes
Can only meet mine across the room filled with people that are less important than you.
Jitters brought me here, beautiful film!
This song is SO incredibly painful.
And these fingertips
Will never run through your skin
And those bright blue eyes
Can only meet mine across the room filled with people that are less important than you...
Wow. Hurts, hurts, hurts.
Oh, holy God. The "Of Mice & Men" reference made this irresistable to click, and just wow. So great. SO SO SO great.
Of Monsters & Men strikes you to the core when you compare the words and meanings of their songs to your own life. So remember always listen to their songs more than 20 times =)
one of the most beautiful love songs i've heard
THIS version of the song... is so amazing. Far superior to the studio-cut. Just lay down some pretty vocals, and let the raw excellence of acoustic guitar do the rest. I wish this was the version on their CD. :(
Why can I not stop listening to this band?! 3
Absolutely! Hopefully if each of us contributes a little piece each day, our loved ones and ourselves may each enjoy a bit happier of an ending.
John Green, my one and ONLY favorite author on this planet.
rediscovering this track is superbly satisfying
So glad they get the attention they deserve !
Wow this band is amazing! Can't wait for there album!
this group is... simply perfect
Those bright blue eyes can only meet mine across a room
Filled with people that are less important than you
Its like an international discovery of this amazing band. Hope they keep their sound.
I love love love how she says the word "love"
This song reminds me of Sufjan Stevens song chicago. Nice song, Thanks for beeing at Bæðslan after Músiktilraunir..you are the BEST..

just seen these on bbc2 playing little talks........downloaded album and i'm totally hooked
Luna, staying till 6.00am while you cleaned the bar down to this was soooooo worth it. Thanks a million x
I love this song and it's even more beautiful live. I saw them last year here in Iceland - I'm so happy their getting the attention they deserve :)
Just discovered this band by chance... adding all their songs to my ipod immediately
i freaking love this song, it's just so beautiful and i honestly don't know why people are on about geography instead of just how amazing this is
Band seems chill and their music is great smoking music :)
Yes, that is so damn true. I've been a fan of both bands for ever.
I remember finding this on youtube years ago (this exact video), looking for this on itunes and not finding it, and its so funny to cme back now! (although, i must say, now i hear this is a different version, this ones even more beatiful)!
Przepiękna!
All of their music is so beautiful, but all in different ways I just love it all.
Oh, the memories.
Omg. You too?! Their songs make me think of Narnia as well! Specially King and Lionheart ^^
this song is like a hug
this music is beautiful!everything i look for in music.
Es realmente maravilloso el trabajo que hace esta gente para deleitarnos con su música, y, como no esa voz tan dulce
que escuchamos.Un saludo a tod@s.Fito.
i love this song, its so soothing
I love how you can hear the accent. I LOVE their accent..
i love >3 this song
Who can't LOVE this song? D:
but its actually kinda inspiring too, just because we cant have someone they way we would love- doesn't mean we cant still appreciate their beautiful existence =D
Thumbs up for all those of you that discovered them recently!
I am so glad I have discovered Of Monsters and Men today :)
the cd it pretty awsome i have had it for a pretty long time and it never gets old
Within 5 seconds I knew this was my new Favourite Song.
I thought i'd never like this kind of music, but now i do, so thanks for submitting this video, great band
miło się słucha
I love this song..Its just beautiful..
much like all their other songs, you really feel this, it hits you on a primally emotional level.
And f*ck it hurts.
How much this song makes me happy :)
all this reminds me of is what i lost. I both hate and love how emotive music is, pain is beauty.
Ooh memories 😢❤
********this song!!!!!oh!this song!!!!
how have I not found this band sooner?!
from the first sound i realised how much i love this song.. i dont know wy, and why this song makes me cry i dont know either
love it... just love it
I remember back before this group became famous. I love OMAM.
I think this is one of the first songs in which is in the perspective of a girl having to friendzone the guy. I bow to that.
I love this. So much. I can't get enough! Her voice is amazing!
-Cori
I cried at the beginning.... lovelovelove this song
got my tickets for the december show at terminal 5 NY city!!! so happy:)
This song makes me wish I had a special someone...
took me the chorus to realize this was live... awesome!
I agree completely :P. The label doesn't matter to me as long as the music sounds beautiful. And this definitely fits the bill :).
Love the Guitar,Talented band,, Love the Album "My Head Is an Animal"
