Amazing how much the world, life, music, everything can change in ten years. Forgot this existed until it resurfaced today and reminded me of a time I miss.
My father showed me this song when I was younger, I remember driving past fields of wildgrass and flowers with this song playing on the car radio, because when this song played that's what I imagined, now years have gone by and the grass is dead and the fields are full of trash with fracking sites close to the road, the smell of oil and gas in the air. The memories are there just faded, if I listen now with my eyes closed laying on my bed, I imagine laying on grass with flowers around me. Never forget the good times, do what you can to stay happy, blessed be.
technically surreal, the fact that you can see actual horses and cliffs makes this figurative and not abstract. jackson pollock -> abstract. This or Dali -> surrealism.
Ralphatality Hm. maybe. The style of the videos are quite different from each other, though, and I don't really see too many connections between the two.
Lewis Ironside The plot of the mourning woman in Little Talks, to me, relates directly to the child being abducted at the end of King and Lionheart. Then, it would mean that the woman that came out of the asteroid in Little Talks is the big sister, and the huge monster in the clouds is her brother, transformed by the evil magic or something(?). This evil magic is why they were hunted. It may be just me, but I think it ties up nicely. Bonus: It has a happy (-ish) ending, too. :D
@@quirkyplays1226 The world was less divided. More things to do, less regulations. I sometimes think the government's response to Covid was worse than the virus itself. I'm a hospice nurse and still have nightmares about 2020.
This amazing song makes me want to grab my backpack and go on an adventure through the far and wide lands of this world right now. Phenomenal in every way!
This songs remembers me of being like ten hanging out with the neighbor kids in the forest everyday for like a solid year . Good memories and good times
My dad showed me. this song when I was young, we were lying in bed just listening and really feeling. not thinking not stressing, nothing but calm feel. I will never forget it.
I feel like their whole album tells a story, I'm missing some of the songs (which could easily be added in) but here what I have so far: the story is being told of 2 children who are trapped in a war zone (dirty paws). They flee the town and later on find strength and happiness in being together (mountain sound). They get captured and separated by the bad guys (king and lion heart). A while later they are both free and reunite in their new forms (little talks).
I read little talks is about a widow, in which the male voice is the death husband and the female voice is the widow. Listen to it again and you will realise (and probably cry) T_T
I always thought little talks was about about the lady suffering from dementia or another mental condition and the male is her partner hurting deeply seeing her this way but trying to help her through by keeping her calm without showing her what he feels. The old voice holding the lady back is her former self before the disease which is why the guy says tell her we miss little talks. I guess the songs meaning can be subjective but read the lyrics thinking of this for some feels.
This song was once a song of new beginnings with new friendships about to travel the world together. But a swift reminder that it's never good to plan everything. Sometimes it's best to enjoy the moment before it's too late.
What I love about OMAN is that their songs can be interpreted in any way possible. They mean different things for different people. Set each individual in a different mood. And that is what good song writing is.
I love this song. For me, this song is just about running far away from the boring and stressful life of our society to find peace and silence somewhere in the mountains. And there "we sleep until the sun goes down" because we have nothing else to worry about.
Oh man, that feeling when you're in the progress of writing your own story and you find a band that makes all the songs you'd think would be in the Soundtrack if it were a movie or game. Its amazing!
It reminds me of the forest at sunset, or riding in the back of a pick-up truck with a ukulele with your friends while you guys clap along. Oh yeah, did you know this is on Guitar Hero Live?
For me, this song is about a person who felt they had to run away from their problems ("Trouble I caused with my own 2 hands") and ran and ran and ran until they had to run no more. This person found they actually weren't alone, they had company-- many people were running from problems. So they all run, but in different directions ("We were nothing like the rest"). So they continue running into the mountain sound. For me, the hook implies they've run far away enough, stop running because it's safe now-- you can relax and be at ease, and finally rest.
Maaaan my brother used to listen to this song before he moved away and it just makes me really sad to listen to this song because it reminds me of the "good ol days" ya kno
Absolutely in LOVE with this band. Like everything about it is unique, including its wild music videos. Whenever I ask someone if they have heard this band before 98% of the time it's a no. Like, BOI how??
This touched me so much! It helps me get by when the days feel like they’re never ending upon sleepless nights of thoughts. Please keep these beautiful vibe’s going
I heard them calling in the distance So I packed my things and ran Far away from all the trouble I had caused with my two hands Alone we traveled on with nothing but a shadow We fled far away Hold your horses now (We sleep until the sun goes down) Through the woods we ran (Deep into the mountain sound) Hold your horses now (We sleep until the sun goes down) Through the woods we ran Some hid scars and some hid scratches It made me wonder about their past And as I looked around, I began to notice That we were nothing like the rest Hold your horses now (We sleep until the sun goes down) Through the woods we ran (Deep into the mountain sound) Hold your horses now (We sleep until the sun goes down) Through the woods we ran Whoa, We sleep until the sun goes down Whoa, We sleep until the sun goes down Whoa, We sleep until the sun goes down Hold your horses now (We sleep until the sun goes down) Through the woods we ran (Deep into the mountain sound) Hold your horses now (We sleep until the sun goes down) Through the woods we ran Hold your horses now (We sleep until the sun goes down) Through the woods we ran (Deep into the mountain sound) Hold your horses now (We sleep until the sun goes down) Through the woods we ran La la la, whoa, la la la We sleep until the sun goes down La la la, whoa whoa, la la la We sleep until the sun goes
@@hyhuhihoh8317 so what if the video has the lyrics? You cant sing along cuz u cant know the next line. Comments like this whichshows all the lyrics help alot
I just want to be a kid again. I didn’t value it enough. Songs like this would evoke such incredible feelings, ideas, and stories. Now….I just don’t know what’s happened to me. I miss those times
I may be an old woman but I have loved this band from the first note of the first song I heard of theirs. They have my heart and love. My NUMBER ONE FAVORITE BAND!
I've heard a lot of good songs in my life, but this is really one of the top songs I've ever heard.. if I want to hear something that really makes my day, it's this, indescribable feeling when listening to it ❤
*I remember in Elementary School...* I had to collect songs to put on my flash drive for my computer class; Mountain Sound had a guaranteed entry ticket.
When I listen to this I imagine me and some friends riding horses in a field and in the forest fighting off bandits or something. One day I listen to this on a horse ride where I can feel free.
I’ve listened to this song when it came out! It was mine and my little. Brothers favorite song I would sing this for him every night before bed I’m happy to say we both are doing amazing ❤️
I always will think fondly of my visit to Colorado when I hear this song. Such a beautiful place with great people. I had a mustang convertible driving to Loveland Pass when this came on the radio. If only I could afford to live there.
This is one of those songs that's so good it seems like it always existed.
Great way of summing it up.
I never really thought about it that way, unconsciously, I think I believed it always had 😂 love the way you put it!!
Well said, like the Beatles
YES!
Amazing how much the world, life, music, everything can change in ten years. Forgot this existed until it resurfaced today and reminded me of a time I miss.
Agreed
Agreed
Couldn't agree more. If only we could share a secret or two with ourselves from 10 yrs ago.
I wish we heard more songs like this nowadays.
I hope someday these become popular again
If you're looking for suggestions, The Crane Wives make really good music in the same genre.
FRRR
@@onewingedangel9189 Are you sure? It sounds like Blues
@@El_payaso2006 blues is derived from folk so I'm not surprised. The Moon will Sing is a good example of straight folk from them though.

Where are the Fields, Wildgrass and Flowers?
Se há algo mais maravilhoso que musica, Deus guardou com ele. Sua estória melhorou 1000% com essa musica, certamente!
Uh this song is only 10 years old. How are you so nostalgic for it?
Of Monsters And Men have such abstract videos, both lyrically and visually
That's what I love about them 😊
Yes
They feel just like a Tim Burton flim
they seem abstract, there must be a deeper meaning in them
technically surreal, the fact that you can see actual horses and cliffs makes this figurative and not abstract.
jackson pollock -> abstract. This or Dali -> surrealism.
0:47 I love when nana starts singing 🤩 great voice and I couldn’t imagine anyone else singing it better
Man I love every single song I heard from this group
Same
me too
yeah
every song is lit AF
yeah.. me too.. but no one of my friends listen it.
I would love to see a fantasy/sci-fi movie based on these videos with OMAM doing the soundtrack.
that would be freaking amazing
Have you ever seen Woodkid's videos for his songs? They're amazing - they're all connected and tell a story. I wish OMAM could do something like that.
Lewis Ironside I've always considered King and Lionheart as a prequel to Little Talks...

And what is the new after ?

This band is SOO UNDERRATED :(
+Maciej Oprzadek Actually they are pretty popular,just,you know,not mainstream
+Fire InHeart then they should be even more popular!!!
Potato Clockwise Haha well,they're getting there :)
Umm, if it were popular, then it would be too mainstream for me.

beautiful song their voices just blend together perfectly!
michelle brown Couldn’t agree more....
Bro suddenly I remember this song, very nostalgic, remember when my friends and I were often together, thanks for the memories
I'm personally convinced that the Icelandic band OF MONSTERS AND MEN IS THE MOST TALENTED BAND TO EMERGE FROM THE 21ST CENTURY-SO FAR....
This song makes me feel every positive emotion. I can’t explain it. I just feel happy listening to this song 😊.
😊❤
This band is just too good. They are just too fuckin good.
Wallow in the goodness.

If you listen to this while painting, it turns out to be a MASTERPICE. No matter how bad/good you are at painting.
Well i listen this while coding and it works for us too
@@natywubet2175 THIS SONG IS JUST MOTIVATION
I'm gonna go paint now, this song gives me way to much inspiration to to not make another work of art out of it
It works if you're writing a story too :)
Been listening this for years, still hits different
I feel like their whole album tells a story, I'm missing some of the songs (which could easily be added in) but here what I have so far: the story is being told of 2 children who are trapped in a war zone (dirty paws).

I read little talks is about a widow, in which the male voice is the death husband and the female voice is the widow. Listen to it again and you will realise (and probably cry) T_T
StrawberryBear12 very spot on i believe
Dirty Paws is literally the telling of an Icelandic folktale in song form.
I always thought little talks was about about the lady suffering from dementia or another mental condition and the male is her partner hurting deeply seeing her this way but trying to help her through by keeping her calm without showing her what he feels. The old voice holding the lady back is her former self before the disease which is why the guy says tell her we miss little talks.

StrawberryBear12 easily my 4 favorite songs by them

Memories:(
I love how calming all their videos are...
Her Voice Is One Of A Kind☺️
I know! So raspy! I love it!
Right!
underrated people are often the best ones
What I love about OMAN is that their songs can be interpreted in any way possible. They mean different things for different people. Set each individual in a different mood. And that is what good song writing is.
The best thing about Monsters and Men is that I feel like every song is a story, a story I want to write and that is the most magical feeling!
Write the story man. Do it. That's what I did and I made a gosh darn masterpiece write what you want
저는 지금 아이슬란드에 있고 이 노래를 들으며 레이캬비크로 가고있어요. 아이슬란드에서 of monsters and men의 노래를 듣는게 평생 소원이었습니다. 좋은 음악을 만들고 노래해줘서 고맙습니다.
This song makes me so calm and happy I don't know why or how but it's amazing and I love it
I completely know what you mean; but for me it's like that with all OMAM songs :)
Mare lena same
I don’t know why but this song makes me really sad
I feel you, whenever I hear this song I just get a boost of happiness and energy

The scariest part for me was that I wasn't sure that all of the horses were gonna make that jump omg

Yup mine to
Me too! Makes me happy no matter what mood I am in when I turn it on.

It reminds me of the forest at sunset, or riding in the back of a pick-up truck with a ukulele with your friends while you guys clap along. Oh yeah, did you know this is on Guitar Hero Live?
Agreed. Still not my favorite song by Of Monsters and Men. I like Small Talks more.
LOVE. "Hold your horses now." My grandmother often said this.
I think I just like this song for some reason.❤
Wish reasons you mean?
For me, this song is about a person who felt they had to run away from their problems ("Trouble I caused with my own 2 hands") and ran and ran and ran until they had to run no more. This person found they actually weren't alone, they had company-- many people were running from problems. So they all run, but in different directions ("We were nothing like the rest").

I actually listen to words and feeling in the song is it's beautiful
Someone did a bad job of holding the horses!
lol
yeah XD
Ahahaha.
Because they slept until the sun went down, and when they woke up, the horses had all run away.
Navah Weiss
no wonder who ride the horse
Such a brilliant example of great songwriting.
It's Beautiful. 🎶
Do a trip around Iceland and you'll love this band even more ❤️
Went to iceland with this band playing on repeat in the rental car as i drove by the amazing landscapes in south west iceland
over the recent years, my taste in music has changed often yet I still see myself coming back to of monsters and men.
I love this band. I listen to the songs whenever I'm having a bad day(pretty much every day) and it makes me feel so much better.
Hope you have a good day today though
This reminds of the good memories I’ve had
I heard them calling in the distance
So I packed my things and ran
Far away from all the trouble
I had caused with my two hands
Alone we traveled on with nothing but a shadow
We fled far away
Hold your horses now (We sleep until the sun goes down)
Through the woods we ran (Deep into the mountain sound)
Hold your horses now (We sleep until the sun goes down)
Through the woods we ran
Some hid scars and some hid scratches
It made me wonder about their past
And as I looked around, I began to notice
That we were nothing like the rest
Hold your horses now (We sleep until the sun goes down)
Through the woods we ran (Deep into the mountain sound)
Hold your horses now (We sleep until the sun goes down)
Through the woods we ran
Whoa,
We sleep until the sun goes down
Whoa,
We sleep until the sun goes down
Whoa,
We sleep until the sun goes down
Hold your horses now (We sleep until the sun goes down)
Through the woods we ran (Deep into the mountain sound)
Hold your horses now (We sleep until the sun goes down)
Through the woods we ran
Hold your horses now (We sleep until the sun goes down)
Through the woods we ran (Deep into the mountain sound)
Hold your horses now (We sleep until the sun goes down)
Through the woods we ran
La la la, whoa, la la la
We sleep until the sun goes down
La la la, whoa whoa, la la la
We sleep until the sun goes

This song plays on the radio at my restaurant all the time. It’s so beautiful and has become one of my favorites
I tell ya what... the band has two of the most beautiful voices I’ve ever heard both male and female
I never knew the name of this song was Mountain Sound til now and remembering hearing it all the time years and years ago.
I just want to be a kid again. I didn’t value it enough. Songs like this would evoke such incredible feelings, ideas, and stories. Now….I just don’t know what’s happened to me. I miss those times
You have to be prepared to be old and bitter, and everything will end, nothing dancing and singing
There's something freeing about singing this as you make a life-changing decision.
This song's a banger
Great group .love the videos
I love the moment when you meet a great band!!!
Exacto!
I remember when i first heard them they had 20-30k views . I knew they are going for millions.
I may be an old woman but I have loved this band from the first note of the first song I heard of theirs. They have my heart and love. My NUMBER ONE FAVORITE BAND!
Peak Indie music🧚🧞🧙🧝
I used to listen to this all the time in high school during my track meets, so much nostalgia omg

Brings me to a good place
Can we appreciate how this song isn’t popular and overplayed but a hidden gem
I'm hiking the mountain tomorrow. Perfect song
Great song! Can't get it out of my head though...
