Deeply and truly, OMaM sings to the emotions in my torn spirit, bringing back the deep melancholy of my wandered soul. It breaks my heart, but mends it all at the same time. I love it, the pain that mends back my heart again. The songs, the videos are so deep in expression that it makes me soul scream both with delight and horror. Truly makes me feel like I'm home again, away from this reality that I'm so familiar of... Truly an alien indeed.
I am still so in love with this. I found it when I was homeless and my soul was truely broken, I just thought "if I die, just disappear.. no one would even know or care." I listened to this to make me remember that I DO matter, my feelings DO matter and I am a human being that deserves love and care. I still return to this song and particularly this video now- I am not homeless but I still struggle every day not to be. And still, no one else cares.... BUT I CARE ABOUT ME. I MATTER.
I remember myself going through the same pain.. but I managed thankfully!! You're a warrior my dear.. Keep fighting and never stop loving yourself, cause it is yourself who always sticks with you till the very end.
One of my favorite things about Of Monsters and Men is how positive the fan base is. All of their lyric videos are so beautiful and all the comments spread nothing but positivity. Always brightens my day
All the music videos of the last album are of strange creatures, and all the videos of this album are of people. So last album they were of monsters, and this one they're of men. This person is by far my favorite. He conveys such emotion, even though he's not the actual singer.
I listen to this song daily for 3 years without missing a day, lost my baby daughter exactly the way she sings, with every word, soul slowly dissipating from the body, inside a structure, full of flaws, fearing just because I don't love her when she's gone... i will always love her... you don't know how much this song means to me, thank you, thank you, thank you!
I rather like to feel that the message of the song and the choice of the person in the video is to remind us that we are what we are, Humanity in all its beautiful, terrible, complicated, ugly, and wondrous glory. We're all stuck in this life together, why spend it at each others throats arguing over meaningless trivia and pointless differences?
Imminent Fire Sorry, the problem is that i don't know how to express the idea I've got, I speak spanish. What I mean is that Numb Bears sounds a bit different from the songs in My Head Is An Animal... D'You know what I mean? It's like the transition from the sound of My Head Is An Animal to Beneath The Sking.
Wondersongs Oh, yes, I understand. Now that you mention it, Numb Bears does sound a little different from the others. Maybe there will be a song in Beneath The Skin to transition into their next album.
Of Monsters and Men is one of the most stylish bands out there. The words, the rhythm, the color, the actors, the singers, the directors: they all contribute so much to this. And it really shows in this video. This actor is so beautiful. He is magnificent and talented. You can feel the emotion of the song just being portrayed by him. And the band themselves, they manage to make music so stylish and remind us that it is still an art form, and that it should make us feel.
Crystals is about letting go of all the pain and suffering after so long. This song is about self doubt, internal pain and emptiness. I appreciate so much that the themes of their new songs encompass these negative feeling themes but are just so beautiful, youthful, heartwarming, appreciative and welcoming.

Whether or not he "plagiarized" it or not (strong use of words there DX) it was still deep and it isn't wrong for me to tell him that.

To be honest, the first time i see this video i was surprised, but then the lyrics came it hits me right in my heart, i reach another level of understanding, accepting and embracing the beauty of this person and all people like him, this song is so powerful :')
This is so beautiful. I am so captivated by it. Gennerally I adore each of the videos with people singing these songs. They are just so powerful. But this is my favorite. It brings me to tears. Amazing. Simply.
I just cried. As a 33 year old man, I felt pain from so many people engulf me and I am appalled that I am just this week learning these work of art videos exist. Black Water and the grandma made me tear up by beauty, but this... This made me weep in solidarity for my LGBTQ families and our different sufferings. Never have I before felt like I still had so much understanding I needed to give, and comfort I should be providing. Like my soul was caught doing what it knew it it shouldn't and now is overwhelming with gentle guilt and a calling, no, a purpose to exist harder than ever. I wept, and sobbed in my bed because the haunting lyrics and emotion that this person expressed to me was like a soft and divine punishment I couldn't deny, and needed. I feel better for feeling so much.
This made me cry... I could feel my heart stretching out so big listening to this. What a beautiful man, what a beautiful song, what gorgeous feelings conveyed.
in most of the videos for this album the performer tends to direct their performance around or away from the camera, then at the end making direct eye contact, which is very powerful, for example in Crystals where at the very end, after the music is all but gone, he looks directly down the lens and for the first time in the video fully opens his eyes, then smiles gently. like, chills every time. here, however, most of the performance is directed at the camera throughout the video, until as the song ends he looks away. this parallels what I think the story of this video is. it's someone who has been cast out/told they're a freak by society finally demanding to be treated as a human. but, as the anger of the moment passes and they begin to reflect on what they said, the shame that they've been conditioned into comes back through and they can't bring themselves to make the eye contact they were so confident in before. also, I'd just like to point out to any that missed it the little head shake and raised shoulders at "I am a stranger, I am an alien," because it's an incredible bit of performance
This song defines what some of us face. The feeling of being invisible, yet pointed out for our flaws. Sometimes it hurts so much that vice versa you do feel like turning into a ghost to not face it, with a mourning feeling of no one noticing the accomplishments.... Damn life is difficult at times.
+Isabel Pinheiro u have to be able to access the allusions, symbolism and metaphors that the lyric presents. Each of the artist's lyrics mean something. The language being used isnt a mistake. :)
I love this album and these actors/actresses but this person!! This person is very amazing, the emotions they express and the body language they show are very realistic in regards to the lyrics. I love it.
Oh my God I am so excited for the new Of Monsters and Men album! From the two singles released so far, it will be even more amazing than the first album.
This music made me cry without me paying atenttion to the lyric, so I came back and start paying atenttion and I saw why it made me cry... It represents exactly how I was when I had depression and almost tried to find answers in suicide. The drag queen singing was so strong, so emotional, so passional, it made me tear up all again. This music is strong for a lot of reasons, and the best lyric video of all Of Monster and Men
+Lunnari Soledad I feel the same way about this song and the performance somehow manages to be really powerful to me despite being really over the top. I love it.
This is powerful and the guy who is echoing the song so Artistic oh my god this Guy is fantastic if i met him i would give him loads of big hugs for doing a fantastic piece of mime a true Artist please can you do More.
@@johnroughneen3585it doesnt matter much what gender they are since "they" is a gender neutral term. People use it all the time for people whose identity isnt clear, consciously or not
three-chan Thanks, I feel better now. I was mentally ill for a while, not anymore. Your positiveness have lifted my chains and now I am a penguin, yay. But seriously though...
Thank you OMAM.... I LOVE THIS. Lately i've been thinking that i need to not be so deep all the time. But life is DEEP. Life is hard! Life is REAL! Isn't that what makes it great!? This song just encourages me to keep loving who i'm becoming. Knowing that my identity is found in something way bigger than anything we can fathom. Perfect love casts out all fear. 1 John 4:18 There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment..
Mich holt das extrem ab. Immer wieder. Was für eine emotionale, schauspielerische Leistung. Du hast uns nicht nur auf, sondern auch unter deine Haut gelassen. Großartig und mein Dank dafür.
This song. This video. This was the last video my friend, and mentor, liked on youtube. Around this time 4 months ago he committed suicide. He wasn't some "depressed" teenager, no, he was 23 years old and suffering from mental illness. He was a gamer and was a member of the national guard. He always gave me insights to philosophy and talked with me for hours about everything, from the meaning of life, to how man discovered fire. I miss you man. "Embrace fear, for a man who can look death in the eye, and accept him with a greeting and go with him, has achieved mental greatness." - Tyler Cooper. EDIT: Hello, I am writing this on July 25th, 2021. I want to address some things in this comment I made. The first being that if you are a teenager and, you are experiencing depression, please do not give up hope. I apologize to anyone I may have harmed with my words by saying “‘Depressed’ teenager.” Your life is worth living and I promise you, it does get better. I’ve been through quite a bit in the past 5, almost 6, years and I want people to know that it does get better. I still miss him to this day and I still think about him every day. He still motivates me to think for myself and challenge my previous beliefs. Cooper truly was one of the best people I have had the honor of knowing in my life, and my GOD do I wish he was still around to say hi and have philosophical conversations with me, especially because I am now actually reading philosophy on my own and thinking on my own. I would like to imagine that he would be proud of me and the person I’ve become, but the sad sad fact is that I will never know. I miss him and I miss his smile. I miss him so much. Please, if you are considering taking your own life, do not do it. There are so many people who love you and care for you. Please PM me or reply to this comment if you need someone to talk to. I am always here for anyone. If you would rather talk to someone else then please do not be afraid to reach out. If you are experiencing suicidal thoughts or self harm please call 1-800-273-8255. Help is available and things do get better, I promise. P.S. thank you for everyone’s kind words, they truly do mean a lot
+So Hysterical I feel for you. I lost a friend to suicide 20 yrs ago & I think of her most days. Thank you for posting. That quote is immense "Embrace fear, for a man who can look death in the eye, and accept him with a greeting and go with him, has achieved mental greatness." - Tyler Cooper
+So Hysterical I am deeply sorry for your loss. These words may prove to mean little, and are handed out all too often. However, these words, to some, may prove to mean quite a lot. I don't know you, and I don't know your friend. But, I truly do mean these words. And even if you don't appreciate my words, and even if my words serve only to infuriate you against all the hard and cold things in life, especially something, so often too cruel, such is death, I will still say them anyway. What more can any of us hope to offer in the face of such a rigid, and too commonly merciless tragedy, such as death? Even so, so long as there is even the tiniest chance that my words had even the slightest chance in doing you the slightest amount of good, then I would gladly say them a thousand times, in the hopes that they get through to you even one time. And one other thing, that just came to me as I was pondering these words. There is one other thing that I can offer you. That thing, is a wish. A wish that one day two friends, that were as close as you two were, so close that I myself could only dream of such a strong friendship, will meet again. I truly wish that you two meet again someday. So, hang in there, okay?
The beauty, of the person. The melancholy of music that is expressed through him. has rendered me breathless. Oh and I showed my 6yr old son and 5yr old daughter this. I told them this is beauty
This song and also the lyric video really got to me...it relates to me so much and I honestly just want to put this song on repeat and cry my heart out! This is such an incredible and powerful song. Thank you OMAM for this beautiful song!
every time i listen to of monsters and men i cry either because of the lyrics or because of the comments or sometimes both. the comments section under these videos is filled with so many emotions and intimacy, i cant help but feel as vulnerable. i cant believe there are so many wonderful people in the world and i cant believe i get to be a part of it.
This person is so beautiful, so emotive, and so permanently burned into my mind that I see them every time I hear this song even if I'm looking at something completely different.
i felt in love with this piece of art, this harmony and of course perfect nana’s voice. but the most emotional thing about this was this man who was acting just perfectly. it touched me and i was crying. love you all guys! peace for everyone!!❤️🙏🏻🏳️🌈🤗
Brings emotions out, whether you want to let them out or not. Such a perfect rendition of emotion from the video to the lyrics. Being hurt, this song is so soothing to listen to
This is one of the few songs that really takes me somewhere else. I love it too much for words. all of monsters and men is amazing, but this is truly one of the best.
I really love this song. And I love the music video too. It's so relative to me revealing my queerness to my mom and my stepdad. They both are Christians and so it was really awkward. This song explains it perfectly. They constantly bug me on how I should be straight, but being queer isn't a choice. The only choice there is the choice to be happy. I'm happy the way I am, but it also hurts knowing that I can't make my family proud because of who I am. I'm proud that I told them, but hurt because they don't support me with this. I really hope it gets better soon, but for now, I'll go on strike by singing this song as loud as I can. ;)
I just finished crying several minutes ago with my brother, because I'm also queer. I was asking him how could I deal with that self-hate I feel for not feeling identified with the body I was born with and how am I expected to act. After listening some other songs, I remembered this one. I am happy I found it. I wish you the best, because my parents are also strictly religious, and I got tired of playing the heteronormative girl they expect, when I've never been one, and it has been an act I put oftenly, when I feel I should, when society and family expects it.
What a relatable song... And I like the person OMAM cast for this music video. Their makeup and tattoos are so eye-catching :o It seems to emphasize their dramatic, emotional performance with the lip syncing and everything... Just amazing tbh
This one is my favorite video so far not just because of the song but you can see the emotion and connection he has with this song with the way he moves and the emotion in his face, his emotions are raw emotions and also he's allowing himself to be vulnerable throughout the song. This song has a meaning to him and a connection and you can see it clear as daylight throughout the video. Honestly I'm on the verge of tears because seeing such a beautiful performance.
Si pudiera enfrentarlos Si pudiera hacer las paces con todas mis sombras Por encima de mi cabeza y darles la bienvenida Pero siento que quema Como cuando el viento del invierno Detiene mi respiración ¿Realmente vas a amarme cuando me haya ido? Me temo que no lo harás Siento no lo harás Y hace eco cuando respiro Hasta que todo lo que ves es mi fantasma Y para esos dientes torcidos Desearía que pudieras ver Y me llaman debajo Y yo estoy perturbado como una hoja Y me llaman debajo Y yo me seco por debajo En la tormenta Soy un extraño Soy un alien dentro de una estructura ¿Realmente vas a amarme cuando me vaya? Con todos mis errores Y todas mis caídas Siento que corta Lo siento romper mi piel tan sin invitación ¿Realmente vas a amarme cuando me haya ido? Me temo que no lo harás Siento que no lo harás Y hace eco cuando respiro Hasta que todo lo que ves es mi fantasma Y para esos dientes torcidos Desearía que pudieras ver Y me llaman debajo Y yo estoy perturbado como una hoja Y me llaman debajo Y yo me seco por debajo En la tormenta Y me llaman debajo Y yo estoy perturbado como una hoja Y me llaman debajo Y yo me seco por debajo Para la tormenta
OH MY GOD , The guy who mimes the words to this song so POWERFUL brilliant and very Artistic its so easy to give negative comments ,but if i ever met this drag queen , i would just give lots of BIG HUGS for doing such a fantastic job , i hope he can do more tracks for of monsters and men.
Joel Crisanto I rly love OMAM, but do you know other bands like them? I liste Florence+Machine, Angus and Julia Stone, Shadow Shadow (very good too!), The XX and Lykke Ly, but i want more! :p
Pedro Nunes Mumford and Sons is great, along with Gregory Alen Isakov, Imagine Dragons, The Lumineers, Vance Joy, Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros, Phillip Phillips, Iron & Wine, The Bird and the Bee, O’Death, and Crosby & Nash. I love all those you listed. Dang.
Pedro Nunes In addition to those I listed in my other comment, I also recommend (These are a slightly different genera) Modest Mouse, Sarah Blackwood, Bon Iver, Walk off the Earth, Big Fox, James Vincent McMorrow, Broder Daniel, Kommun, Jonathan Edwards, Lindsey Sterling, M. Ward, Kate Campbell, Simon and Garfunkel, The Paper Kites, Red, and Passenger.
OMAM, you are my best discovery of 2021. Each of your songs dazzles me, transports me. I'm commenting on this one, but all of them have their own personality, their truth, and the shivers they give me are indescribable. Please continue, again and again to make us vibrate, I love you !
When I listen to this song . Brings back the night . I went to end my life . Lowest point of my life . In such a dark place. I was a failure, as a parent, a husband, a friend. To my self . 6 years ago . This song still makes me cry . And smile at the same time ,because I'm here today . Helping people . There is help , hope and happiness:)
This is a powerful and deep song. This man fits perfectly the hardship and sadness of not being yourself, to not being loved, to fight so hard to find your place in the world. And the feels, my god!! Sometimes it hurts to remember we all are fragile humans. Thank you OMAM for your music.
I've never heard a song so beautifully encompass the emotions of fragility, self-doubt and melancholy.....this song is saving me
Arthur Deaville :)
I thought the same. This song read my fellings...
Deeply and truly, OMaM sings to the emotions in my torn spirit, bringing back the deep melancholy of my wandered soul. It breaks my heart, but mends it all at the same time.

Truly makes me feel like I'm home again, away from this reality that I'm so familiar of... Truly an alien indeed.
Alex Nguyen Wow. That gave me chills, so human. peace x
***** I am very glad, these are the types of things that bring the ever so lonely souls together as one, Once more. :')
"Are you really gonna love me when I'm gone?" Hits me right in the feels....
yep you don't even know how much
when that sentence went on the song i saw ur comment.
Yep just every time I'm like oh god here comes the waterworks
Ikr! I mean...no one knows if they're gonna be loved when they're gone!
I fear you don't! At this point I'm hit straight through the heart
I am still so in love with this. I found it when I was homeless and my soul was truely broken, I just thought "if I die, just disappear.. no one would even know or care." I listened to this to make me remember that I DO matter, my feelings DO matter and I am a human being that deserves love and care. I still return to this song and particularly this video now- I am not homeless but I still struggle every day not to be. And still, no one else cares.... BUT I CARE ABOUT ME. I MATTER.
I can't imagine how it must have been for you. I really hope you're well wherever you are now, no one should ever go through that
@tonmy cas I'm a man and i couldn't agree more with you
You matter, don't forget it!
I remember myself going through the same pain.. but I managed thankfully!! You're a warrior my dear.. Keep fighting and never stop loving yourself, cause it is yourself who always sticks with you till the very end.
One of my favorite things about Of Monsters and Men is how positive the fan base is. All of their lyric videos are so beautiful and all the comments spread nothing but positivity. Always brightens my day
I came down here expecting some serious negativity, but you're absolutely right. It's all golden down here.
Ps belong in Vs any thing else is insane. Really why would i put my D in a stinking Dude wtf is wrong with society.......gross sorry not ligit

OML I JUST REALIZED>:3
it's Of Monsters and Men after all :3
I like him and the lady from Black Water.
Marvelous!!
oppps why didnt i think of that
I listen to this song daily for 3 years without missing a day, lost my baby daughter exactly the way she sings, with every word, soul slowly dissipating from the body, inside a structure, full of flaws, fearing just because I don't love her when she's gone... i will always love her... you don't know how much this song means to me, thank you, thank you, thank you!
I cant believe how beautiful is this. I love love love the song.
HaHa!, I saw what you did there. :)
I heard some mountain sound in the background of this song....
Of Mumford & Bastille Same it was about Six Weeks ago when I was at the Lakehouse, just giving some little talks to a few numb bears
i Shafty Do those bears got Dirty Paws?
Oh the bears traded some Crystals for Your Bones by the way.

Is it a guy or a girl
+Gi Jow it's a guy bet he dresses as a girl. It's drag
Or he could be possible trans. It's not always drag.
Does any of this really matter?
+Coral Taylor
It doesn't, and it really _really_ shouldn't!
But I guess a small civil conversation of comments doesn't hurt!:p
I rather like to feel that the message of the song and the choice of the person in the video is to remind us that we are what we are, Humanity in all its beautiful, terrible, complicated, ugly, and wondrous glory. We're all stuck in this life together, why spend it at each others throats arguing over meaningless trivia and pointless differences?
So deep, so agreeable and I wonder the same :/

Oh of course they did. No problem slick, you are totally justified in your douche behavior.

I don't understand how they can put such raw emotion into a song and video. This is one of the most amazing pieces of music.
Amanda de Boer The emphasis on emotions in the video, her voice and the lyrics are just all completely overwhelming. Immense power.
Just LOVE LOVE LOVE this band, just adore their music. This song makes me cry every time I hear it

Heh, I get it * winks *
All of their songs make me cry out crystals

oh, i found a kpopper...again! 😊
There's so much passion in this performance! I can't get enough!
❇⚫LYRICS⚫❇
If I could face them
If I could make amends
With all my shadows
I'd bow my head
And welcome them
But I feel it burning
Like when the winter wind
Stops my breathing
Are you really going to love me
When I'm gone
I fear you won't
I fear you don't
And it echoes when I breathe
Until all you'll see
Is my ghost
Empty vessel, crooked teeth
Wish you could see
And they call me under
And I'm shaking like a leaf
And they call me under
And I wither underneath
In this storm
I am a stranger
I am an alien
Inside a structure
Are you really going to love me
When I'm gone
With all my thoughts
And all my faults
I feel it biting
I feel it break my skin
So uninviting
Are you really going to need me
When I'm gone
I fear you won't
I fear you don't
And it echoes when I breathe
Until all you see is my ghost
Empty vessel, crooked teeth
Wish you could see
And they call me under
And I'm shaking like a leaf
And they call me under
And I wither underneath
In this storm
I feel it
And they call me under
And I'm shaking like a leaf
And they call me underneath
To this storm
Thanks
❤😢
Goddamn they're trying to kill me with all their beautiful music.
+iloveicecream127 aha lol, I know how it feels, their music either makes me want to cry or jump about :))
They kill you with kindness (selena gomaz)

I would buy My Head
And Beneath as well

@@junhedb heard this on 9-1-1
@@ordinarygamer2655 im assuming you meant september eleventh this year, not on the day of the acutal event.
@@carlwheezerofsouls3273 nope. It's Fox's 9-1-1, a tv series. I also heard it there.
To be honest, the first time i see this video i was surprised, but then the lyrics came it hits me right in my heart, i reach another level of understanding, accepting and embracing the beauty of this person and all people like him, this song is so powerful :')
come back, enjoy the song again
@@junhedb thanks for the reminder!
all of you people out there. youre beautiful.

This is so beautiful. I am so captivated by it.
Gennerally I adore each of the videos with people singing these songs. They are just so powerful.
But this is my favorite. It brings me to tears.
Amazing. Simply.
I just cried. As a 33 year old man, I felt pain from so many people engulf me and I am appalled that I am just this week learning these work of art videos exist. Black Water and the grandma made me tear up by beauty, but this... This made me weep in solidarity for my LGBTQ families and our different sufferings. Never have I before felt like I still had so much understanding I needed to give, and comfort I should be providing. Like my soul was caught doing what it knew it it shouldn't and now is overwhelming with gentle guilt and a calling, no, a purpose to exist harder than ever.
I wept, and sobbed in my bed because the haunting lyrics and emotion that this person expressed to me was like a soft and divine punishment I couldn't deny, and needed. I feel better for feeling so much.
When she said 'are you really gonna love me when I'm gone' I got instant chills. That's how music should be: raw and inspiring.
This made me cry... I could feel my heart stretching out so big listening to this. What a beautiful man, what a beautiful song, what gorgeous feelings conveyed.
This song is just too beautiful for me I'm going to cry

michiel roelens x3
in most of the videos for this album the performer tends to direct their performance around or away from the camera, then at the end making direct eye contact, which is very powerful, for example in Crystals where at the very end, after the music is all but gone, he looks directly down the lens and for the first time in the video fully opens his eyes, then smiles gently. like, chills every time.
here, however, most of the performance is directed at the camera throughout the video, until as the song ends he looks away. this parallels what I think the story of this video is. it's someone who has been cast out/told they're a freak by society finally demanding to be treated as a human. but, as the anger of the moment passes and they begin to reflect on what they said, the shame that they've been conditioned into comes back through and they can't bring themselves to make the eye contact they were so confident in before.
also, I'd just like to point out to any that missed it the little head shake and raised shoulders at "I am a stranger, I am an alien," because it's an incredible bit of performance
the best lyric video that I saw until now! ♥ This video and the Thousand eyes lyric
👍
🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻🥹🥹🥰
This song defines what some of us face. The feeling of being invisible, yet pointed out for our flaws. Sometimes it hurts so much that vice versa you do feel like turning into a ghost to not face it, with a mourning feeling of no one noticing the accomplishments.... Damn life is difficult at times.
It is the feeling of my novel. You hit it on the damn head.
The passion this person puts into the performance makes the song even more powerful
Of Monsters and Men: I of the Storm
Of Monsters and Men a little later: I AM THE STORM
+Sueycrazy 卌 Haha! I thought the same thing!
I didn't get it... :\
+Isabel Pinheiro in the song "thousand eyes", the lasst lines :)
+Isabel Pinheiro u have to be able to access the allusions, symbolism and metaphors that the lyric presents. Each of the artist's lyrics mean something. The language being used isnt a mistake. :)
Dont we all
Fascinating song and video, it makes me feel every word.
I love this album and these actors/actresses but this person!! This person is very amazing, the emotions they express and the body language they show are very realistic in regards to the lyrics. I love it.
Are you really gonna love me when I'm gone?
I fear you won't
I fear you don't.
My favourite part
Read this just in the same moment when I heard those lines
Sincerely wish I could say I was as excited for Mumford and Sons' new album as I am for Of Monsters and Men's.
They haven't delivered as well as OMAM :(
Oh my God I am so excited for the new Of Monsters and Men album! From the two singles released so far, it will be even more amazing than the first album.
This, my friends, perfectly expresses the beauty in each and every one of us.
This actor is just incredible.
come back, enjoy the song and acting again
THIS! Both the song AND the performance of the actor. Had it on repeat for the last half hour, and it just gets me more and more every time!
AMAZING PERFORMANCE THAT HAS KEPT TRUE TO THE LYRICS. BRAVO.....
This music made me cry without me paying atenttion to the lyric, so I came back and start paying atenttion and I saw why it made me cry... It represents exactly how I was when I had depression and almost tried to find answers in suicide.
The drag queen singing was so strong, so emotional, so passional, it made me tear up all again. This music is strong for a lot of reasons, and the best lyric video of all Of Monster and Men
+Lunnari Soledad I feel the same way about this song and the performance somehow manages to be really powerful to me despite being really over the top. I love it.
She isn't the actual singer, her name is Nanni ☺❤I've been there...stopped counting attempts. I'm so sorry and best of luck babe 🌟
This is powerful and the guy who is echoing the song so Artistic oh my god this Guy is fantastic if i met him i would give him loads of big hugs for doing a fantastic piece of mime a true Artist please can you do More.
They look like they are on the verge of crying, it's so emotional. I love it so much. Both this song and this beautiful person lip syncing it.
Nika Meeh They are a dude. Stop trying to dance around it
How would you know?
Nika Meeh -_- it's obvious without research but if you're that blind why don't you do some research
@@johnroughneen3585 who cares??
@@johnroughneen3585it doesnt matter much what gender they are since "they" is a gender neutral term. People use it all the time for people whose identity isnt clear, consciously or not
Why is this song so addicting I swear
what a beautiful person to accompany a beautiful song
I am going to puke honestly.
ok have fun
three-chan Nevermind, I do not have too.
well good for you buddy
three-chan Thanks, I feel better now. I was mentally ill for a while, not anymore. Your positiveness have lifted my chains and now I am a penguin, yay. But seriously though...
Thank you OMAM....
I LOVE THIS. Lately i've been thinking that i need to not be so deep all the time. But life is DEEP. Life is hard! Life is REAL! Isn't that what makes it great!? This song just encourages me to keep loving who i'm becoming. Knowing that my identity is found in something way bigger than anything we can fathom. Perfect love casts out all fear.
1 John 4:18
There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment..
Amen brother. I needed to listen to something like that today. The Lord works in mysterious ways.
Real people.
Real stories.
Real music.
I love this band.
the acting for this video is perfection . appears heartfelt, like this song resonated with him ...
Those expression in his eyes! So raw, so meaningful they picked an amazing person and the person has given an amazing performance!
Mich holt das extrem ab. Immer wieder. Was für eine emotionale, schauspielerische Leistung. Du hast uns nicht nur auf, sondern auch unter deine Haut gelassen. Großartig und mein Dank dafür.
Epic words in this, Nana's voice is just beautiful & haunting.
Minha música preferida da minha banda preferida. Como OMAM consegue fazer músicas tão envolventes e brilhantes?!❤
The person they got to act for the video honestly made it so much more resonant than it already was
This song. This video. This was the last video my friend, and mentor, liked on youtube. Around this time 4 months ago he committed suicide. He wasn't some "depressed" teenager, no, he was 23 years old and suffering from mental illness. He was a gamer and was a member of the national guard. He always gave me insights to philosophy and talked with me for hours about everything, from the meaning of life, to how man discovered fire. I miss you man. "Embrace fear, for a man who can look death in the eye, and accept him with a greeting and go with him, has achieved mental greatness." - Tyler Cooper.
EDIT:
Hello, I am writing this on July 25th, 2021. I want to address some things in this comment I made. The first being that if you are a teenager and, you are experiencing depression, please do not give up hope. I apologize to anyone I may have harmed with my words by saying “‘Depressed’ teenager.” Your life is worth living and I promise you, it does get better. I’ve been through quite a bit in the past 5, almost 6, years and I want people to know that it does get better. I still miss him to this day and I still think about him every day. He still motivates me to think for myself and challenge my previous beliefs. Cooper truly was one of the best people I have had the honor of knowing in my life, and my GOD do I wish he was still around to say hi and have philosophical conversations with me, especially because I am now actually reading philosophy on my own and thinking on my own. I would like to imagine that he would be proud of me and the person I’ve become, but the sad sad fact is that I will never know. I miss him and I miss his smile. I miss him so much. Please, if you are considering taking your own life, do not do it. There are so many people who love you and care for you. Please PM me or reply to this comment if you need someone to talk to. I am always here for anyone. If you would rather talk to someone else then please do not be afraid to reach out.
If you are experiencing suicidal thoughts or self harm please call 1-800-273-8255. Help is available and things do get better, I promise.
P.S. thank you for everyone’s kind words, they truly do mean a lot
I have no words to comfort you but your voice and his were heard.
+So Hysterical I feel for you. I lost a friend to suicide 20 yrs ago & I think of her most days. Thank you for posting. That quote is immense "Embrace fear, for a man who can look death in the eye, and accept him with a greeting and go with him, has achieved mental greatness." - Tyler Cooper
Thank you. He was a great guy. I miss him so much
+So Hysterical
I am deeply sorry for your loss.
These words may prove to mean little, and are handed out all too often. However, these words, to some, may prove to mean quite a lot. I don't know you, and I don't know your friend. But, I truly do mean these words. And even if you don't appreciate my words, and even if my words serve only to infuriate you against all the hard and cold things in life, especially something, so often too cruel, such is death, I will still say them anyway. What more can any of us hope to offer in the face of such a rigid, and too commonly merciless tragedy, such as death?
Even so, so long as there is even the tiniest chance that my words had even the slightest chance in doing you the slightest amount of good, then I would gladly say them a thousand times, in the hopes that they get through to you even one time.
And one other thing, that just came to me as I was pondering these words.
There is one other thing that I can offer you.
That thing, is a wish.
A wish that one day two friends, that were as close as you two were, so close that I myself could only dream of such a strong friendship, will meet again.
I truly wish that you two meet again someday.
So, hang in there, okay?
Thank you. I'm doing fine. It's been almost six months but I still miss him. Rest in peace.
The beauty, of the person. The melancholy of music that is expressed through him. has rendered me breathless. Oh and I showed my 6yr old son and 5yr old daughter this. I told them this is beauty
I want to tell him how beautiful he looks in this video. The raw emotion he portrays for this song has me fall in love with it each time.
This song and also the lyric video really got to me...it relates to me so much and I honestly just want to put this song on repeat and cry my heart out!
This is such an incredible and powerful song.
Thank you OMAM for this beautiful song!
every time i listen to of monsters and men i cry either because of the lyrics or because of the comments or sometimes both. the comments section under these videos is filled with so many emotions and intimacy, i cant help but feel as vulnerable. i cant believe there are so many wonderful people in the world and i cant believe i get to be a part of it.
I swear that I will never get tired of this video
This is one of those videos
but can we just talk about how good is the actor doing im in love
This person is so beautiful, so emotive, and so permanently burned into my mind that I see them every time I hear this song even if I'm looking at something completely different.
Everything about this video (them lip syncing, the song itself, the tone, etc) is so beautiful
i felt in love with this piece of art, this harmony and of course perfect nana’s voice. but the most emotional thing about this was this man who was acting just perfectly. it touched me and i was crying. love you all guys! peace for everyone!!❤️🙏🏻🏳️🌈🤗
His perfomance is amazing. Would love to see him more on screen
Brings emotions out, whether you want to let them out or not. Such a perfect rendition of emotion from the video to the lyrics. Being hurt, this song is so soothing to listen to
I don't know if I have shivers because of the lyrics or the person or both. Stunning, beautiful and so raw.
gotta Love jared Letto in this one!
Manfred Calderon Haha, I see what you did there.
I worry for Dc...
We all do, we all do
This is one of the few songs that really takes me somewhere else. I love it too much for words. all of monsters and men is amazing, but this is truly one of the best.
This is the most beautiful and sad song I've ever listened to.
I really love this song. And I love the music video too. It's so relative to me revealing my queerness to my mom and my stepdad. They both are Christians and so it was really awkward. This song explains it perfectly. They constantly bug me on how I should be straight, but being queer isn't a choice. The only choice there is the choice to be happy. I'm happy the way I am, but it also hurts knowing that I can't make my family proud because of who I am. I'm proud that I told them, but hurt because they don't support me with this. I really hope it gets better soon, but for now, I'll go on strike by singing this song as loud as I can. ;)
StarJumper DreamCatcher That's beautiful... I support you and i hope your family can realize that it isn't a huge deal, just a part of who you are.
You can only choose your friends. You cant choose your family
I just finished crying several minutes ago with my brother, because I'm also queer. I was asking him how could I deal with that self-hate I feel for not feeling identified with the body I was born with and how am I expected to act. After listening some other songs, I remembered this one. I am happy I found it.
I wish you the best, because my parents are also strictly religious, and I got tired of playing the heteronormative girl they expect, when I've never been one, and it has been an act I put oftenly, when I feel I should, when society and family expects it.

I’m an black American male from Georgia and I absolutely love of monster and men!!!!
What a relatable song... And I like the person OMAM cast for this music video. Their makeup and tattoos are so eye-catching :o It seems to emphasize their dramatic, emotional performance with the lip syncing and everything... Just amazing tbh
I got goosebumps!
Absolutely love this song and the performance. Both are unforgettable. Thank you
es muy lindo... tanto las letras como los videos son bastante emocionales y naturales.
they never make mistake on picking a person to picture their song
come back, enjoy the song again
This one is my favorite video so far not just because of the song but you can see the emotion and connection he has with this song with the way he moves and the emotion in his face, his emotions are raw emotions and also he's allowing himself to be vulnerable throughout the song. This song has a meaning to him and a connection and you can see it clear as daylight throughout the video. Honestly I'm on the verge of tears because seeing such a beautiful performance.
These lyric videos with people are just absolutely gorgeous!! Real people are beautiful! ❤❤❤
😊😊😊😊
Si pudiera enfrentarlos
Si pudiera hacer las paces con todas mis sombras
Por encima de mi cabeza y darles la bienvenida
Pero siento que quema
Como cuando el viento del invierno
Detiene mi respiración
¿Realmente vas a amarme cuando me haya ido?
Me temo que no lo harás
Siento no lo harás
Y hace eco cuando respiro
Hasta que todo lo que ves es mi fantasma
Y para esos dientes torcidos
Desearía que pudieras ver
Y me llaman debajo
Y yo estoy perturbado como una hoja
Y me llaman debajo
Y yo me seco por debajo
En la tormenta
Soy un extraño
Soy un alien dentro de una estructura
¿Realmente vas a amarme cuando me vaya?
Con todos mis errores
Y todas mis caídas
Siento que corta
Lo siento romper mi piel tan sin invitación
¿Realmente vas a amarme cuando me haya ido?
Me temo que no lo harás
Siento que no lo harás
Y hace eco cuando respiro
Hasta que todo lo que ves es mi fantasma
Y para esos dientes torcidos
Desearía que pudieras ver
Y me llaman debajo
Y yo estoy perturbado como una hoja
Y me llaman debajo
Y yo me seco por debajo
En la tormenta
Y me llaman debajo
Y yo estoy perturbado como una hoja
Y me llaman debajo
Y yo me seco por debajo
Para la tormenta

One of the most beautiful videos ever.
I love the fact that they have fans in there videos because I shows just how much they are reaching out to all of us
Wait the people used in the videos are fans?
Nikolai Belinski idk
They are Icelandic actors.
One of my favorites. Heart wrenching. Everything. Lyrics, music, the art, the artist, the work, the act. Everything.
OH MY GOD , The guy who mimes the words to this song so POWERFUL brilliant and very Artistic its so easy to give negative comments ,but if i ever met this drag queen , i would just give lots of BIG HUGS for doing such a fantastic job , i hope he can do more tracks for of monsters and men.
Atli Demantur is that really you? You did an amazing job for of monsters and men
PERFECT.
I can't stop crying, this made my day. Thank you so much guys! ♥ Lots of love from Argentina.
This music video is one of the most beautiful, raw and touching I've seen in life. It is part of my life's soundtrack.
OMAM is and will always be great because it fits in every mold, we can all relate to their music no matter what idiology you have.
Never have I seen such a beautiful performance! This video clip is amazing!!
This is already such a powerful song, but the way that actor portrayed the feelings......man, just....breathless
this person is so beautiful, i'm truly impressed by their acting too!! this video is a masterpiece
MUSIC FROM ANOTHER WORLD!
AMAZING!!!!!
The world called iceland... :)
Alex Fabris iceland always gives good bands
Joel Crisanto I rly love OMAM, but do you know other bands like them?
I liste Florence+Machine, Angus and Julia Stone, Shadow Shadow (very good too!), The XX and Lykke Ly, but i want more! :p
Pedro Nunes Mumford and Sons is great, along with Gregory Alen Isakov, Imagine Dragons, The Lumineers, Vance Joy, Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros, Phillip Phillips, Iron & Wine, The Bird and the Bee,
O’Death, and Crosby & Nash.
I love all those you listed. Dang.
Pedro Nunes In addition to those I listed in my other comment, I also recommend (These are a slightly different genera) Modest Mouse, Sarah Blackwood, Bon Iver, Walk off the Earth, Big Fox, James Vincent McMorrow, Broder Daniel, Kommun, Jonathan Edwards, Lindsey Sterling, M. Ward, Kate Campbell, Simon and Garfunkel, The Paper Kites, Red, and Passenger.
I love how much emotion is on his/their face, they're breath taking.
He's a him - they just put the makeup on him for the purpose of the video.
OMAM, you are my best discovery of 2021. Each of your songs dazzles me, transports me. I'm commenting on this one, but all of them have their own personality, their truth, and the shivers they give me are indescribable. Please continue, again and again to make us vibrate, I love you !
When I listen to this song . Brings back the night . I went to end my life . Lowest point of my life . In such a dark place. I was a failure, as a parent, a husband, a friend. To my self . 6 years ago . This song still makes me cry . And smile at the same time ,because I'm here today . Helping people . There is help , hope and happiness:)
This is a powerful and deep song. This man fits perfectly the hardship and sadness of not being yourself, to not being loved, to fight so hard to find your place in the world. And the feels, my god!! Sometimes it hurts to remember we all are fragile humans. Thank you OMAM for your music.
I love his profile and all his expressions.
this also made me cry (just like crystals). your videos are so powerful and beautiful as well as your music.
