"My Head Is an Animal" is seriously one of the greatest albums ever released! It takes you to a completely different world full of adventure, love, sadness, happiness, and everything that falls in between. There is something truly special about this band.
I agree. I keep coming back to this song over and over again for the past 2years.
It's their best and most original!
Seen them in Indianapolis on their first US tour for this album. Mapstr got us lost. Go figure! Best stage performance of any band I yet have seen. Their sound "at the time" echoed for blocks.
❤❤❤❤u know it
Don't tell anyone, but I bought 5 CDs of this album. I don't even got a CD player anymore. Hsss
This fan base is so peaceful... There's no haters in the comments... This is so nice 😊
The Potato Fuck you.
Silent Gaming mmk
The Potato
+The Potato lol see your the part of the fanbase that keeps calm
jackie the golden jackal Ya.. no point in fighting people in the internet :P unless it's like a video game or something lol
I like to think about the relationship between this song and their biggest hit, "Little Talks". In that song, you get a character feeling hesitant, uncertain, defeated, and anxious. A second voice shows the first voice the safety, control, and comforts it has always had access to in itself. Realizing this, the first voice apologizes for lashing out and losing trust or hope with "Don't listen to a word I say, these screams all sound the same" as if to say "sometimes I'm blind to the love I have and I act like everything is awful even though it isn't".
Now with "Sloom", which can literally mean a kind of daydream, I think we as the audience are getting a closer look at just how that character's dark imagination can make them see the world as dark and full of monsters even when reality might be quite different. The last lines of the song reveal that the character saw a man she'd never met. His intense smile sparked the thoughts she's been having through the whole song about how he might murder her and she wishes she could tell her family she loves them.
The album is called My Head is an Animal, and the band is called Of Monsters and Men. Their latest album is called Beneath the Skin. I think the most important thing to take from their songs is that if people are really just minds controlling bodies, then fantasy and reality- monster and man- are all the same thing. Our minds are the real us, the real animal, and the things we experience only in our mind are just as real as anything else. And we have to be conscious of how other minds perceive us, or we could cause them terror unintentionally.
you, sir, are brilliant.
GIVE ME THIS WEED
This guy is incredible
+Jared wow winnie-the-pooh is wise as fuck
damn dude
“The sea said goodbye to shore so the sun wouldn’t notice”
Such a surreal and beautiful line
"I met a man today and he smiled back at me. Now there are thoughts like this that keep me on my feet" this part kinda makes me fell like crying and I don't even know why, but It happens almost everytime I hear it
I understand that this song is about a divorce, the son is writting his parents for love for him and his brothers, at the end the man who smiled him in the street was his father, the last relationship keep his feet on the earth.
I think its a girl and her stalker with backward lyrics.
-She met a man today, had this weird feeling and wanted to run with her feet
-Cats silhouette and shadows following her in the night street
-A book full of her story, a dream of his and her nightmare
-Making demand while he meets her the first and very last time
-Begging for her life and the mercy to her father, mother and brother
-Seaweed wrapping her feet, saying goodbye to the sea and her life as nobody notices.
As a man who lost a woman that he was going to propose to, I can honestly get this. I was engaged to an ex who turned out to be totally toxic af a while after losing her and as a result, am not looking.
But here's to hoping. That maybe a woman with good intentions will be interested in me and that I will meet her at some point. Whether it's tomorrow, next week or next year, as long as she treats me right,.we're good.
Actually that lyric kinda chapped my ass, what hetero male wouldn't smile back at Nanna. Not exactly novel.😉
You can't be angry and listen to this band. To relaxing.
Unfortunately you can. But this does aide forgiveness.
Am I the only one that thinks that if you strung together the songs, they make a story?
I think so as well.
Abbygaile Holmes they do, a story about a king and a lionheart and a princess
Abbygaile Holmes I feel you but what's the order of the story though
I have a writer's mind so I connect the songs together in my own way lol
Not by a long shot, im actually writeing something like that
I'd love their black and white atmospheres as moving screensavers.
Damn, I remember when the video said "3 years ago." How have five years already gone by so fast? While I may no longer be a die-hard OMAM fan like when I was thirteen, OMAM will always be home to me and they will always hold a special place in my heart. Sloom will always be one of the warmest hugs I can ever get.
Same for me, I kind of forgot about them and now I just had this vague memory of being at the beach listening to this song and I wanted it back. It's still a masterpiece. Glad we both returned here, good music doesn't expire
OMAM is the kind of music where you blast it while star gazing and just lay back and think about life and the lyrics.
+joey mintz hahahahahah you made my day xD
joey mintz This is literally me xD
joey mintz fuck yesss!!!
Yaaaaas. But i can never do that since i live in the city :(
joey mintz 😂😂😂
Probably in the minority on this one, but this is actually my favorite of their songs. Something about the guitar, and how they sing it, gives an incredibly soothing, and, for lack of a better term, beautiful feeling. For best effect, play it near or in a forest far away from any other houses, and walk along the trail or just lie down near Lake-Pond and look at the stars.
Agreed!
+Lord Acclaim Me too, I especially love this Video to it, for me its one of the best the Trees in the Background look just so Awesome, Im still figuring out how this connects to the Song, but the Skulls in the Back may be in relation to the Dead Love between the parents and the children..
***** The clique follows everywhere. *|-/*
yes, and the ending is just so so nice and uplifting "now there are thoughts like this that keep me on my feet, that keep me on my feet.."
there are songs like this that keep me on my feet :)
the dual singing is exactly why Lionheart is my favorite song. Love when they do it.
For all you wondering, a "Sloom" is a light sleep, much like a nap, that comes from British dialect
You're welcome
Thank you. Its such a great song. I wondered what Sloom meant.
thanks for enlightening me
ProfoundThoughts thx
ohhh thanks man
ProfoundThoughts ein schlummerchen
All of OMAM's songs are so beautiful, love them so much
+Alek Kłos Yay, Polska :D
+Alek Kłos 💪💪
taky je zbožňuju :D
Oo. grabe sobrang ganda XD
tangina mo ahaha
Fell asleep to this song a while back, and it drifted straight into my dreams. Such a nice song.
that sentence doesn't make sense, my friend. Something cannot sound aesthetic. It can be aesthetically pleasing. You could like its aesthetic. You could hate it. But I have no idea what you like (or dislike) about this song.
While aesthetic probably is not the best word choice, Ruby might be trying to simply state that the song is very visual, or effectively paints a picture.
That still doesn't make sense in this context, though. I'm not sure how you could use "aesthetic" in that way and have it make sense aside from saying, "I like this song's aesthetic."
You must be fun at parties..
+Lisa S ha ha ha like it !!!
Songs like this don't usually make me cry, but this song really hit me hard. Honestly, I wish I could explain what I'm feeling, I don't even know how to explain it.
Same here. Almost all of OMAMS songs make me cry
Metalhead Bunny I literally feel you. All OMAM songs give me such a weird feeling I can't describe
Well, it applies to me and that's why I'm crying at this moment. Because i realized it does.
it feels like art. thats the only way i could explain it. the emotional beauty of art
3 years late, I know, but I think it might be your subconscious listening to the lyrics and getting the point* or sewing together a story with it? I don't know, just a guess.
* The reason I say ' getting the point ' is because I look at all the comments that talk about the meanings they see in the lyrics and I'm just like, oh, it makes more sense now! But yeah I hope this might have been helpful.
these guys and imagine dragons are just killing it right now
My two favorite bands right now :)
+Millennial Thoughts so true, althought i listen more of monsters and men than imagine dragons
Yesss along with Bastille and TØP, Imagine Dragons and OMAM are my favourite current bands.
@@EpiccKiddo same!
My two favorites for the longest time!!!💕
Every time I listen to this band they take me away. Not any particular place but I just feel "out". Like I'm not on the planet anymore. It's the weirdest feeling.
The more I listen to this song, more I have felt like crying besides an indescribable emotion, but it is impossible to stop listening to it, the same to "Little Talks"
I've been listening to "My Head Is An Animal" non stop for months, of course I love every minute of it every time I listen to it, but it's been far too long, we want a new album!
They just have finished recording their new album :)
JANNIK
Really? Do you know when it may be released?
RebelliousPear No I only know that they're finished recording (they posted it on Twitter)
JANNIK
Ok, well thank you for the update. :D
RebelliousPear You're welcome :)
I'm so sad cause i'll never be able to listen their music in live.
Thanks Italy. Thanks a lot.
what happened with Italy?
It's Italy, simple.
Never say never. I got to see The Offspring, my first favorite band, live this June and I live in Estonia, so I'd say you have a pretty good chance. :)
Latarius Don't dispair. Use Hola. It's a Chrome extension. Trust me. It works. I have the same issues.
Peter Skr Eh? Issues?
I could be way wrong, but does anyone think the sea creature is the same one from Love, Love, Love? It's so youthful and playful here but as life wears on it, it gets older and less loving... Eventually becoming so distant as not being able to love?
Bryan Sampson I like this theory. In general, I like how deep the comments under OMAM's videos are
The interpretation you like the best is the right one😉
@@LB-qf4bs We need matpat lol the Thoery 😂😂💕
See the stars, see the moon,
Penned around by blackest night.
See the diamonds red and purple,
Silk and fire and blood and light.
See them turning, ever turning,
Like a great mandala wheel,
Spinning as the fire is burning.
What is false and what is real...?
-Slagar.
from Mattemo
They should be more popular they are so good of a band
Whenever I listen to this song, I see a person who's struggling with a balance for fantasy and reality. Like they want to be happy, and they are happy in fantasy, but then reality comes and slaps them in the face. And then they try and cover the reality up and pretend it's not there, but they know they can't, and then they want everyone to love them for it and to be happy with life. But, in the end, I think that this person found their happiness because it talks about how a guy smiled at them and that that was such a great thought. So... maybe this was the balance of reality and fantasy they were looking for.
I also love this lyric video because it has a mystical, folktale-ish, almost Americana feel to it. There are monsters in the lake and it has a fantasy-ish feel; I perceived this as the balance... and then the end about the balance too. So fantasy and reality come together and there's about 1/4 of fantasy, and 3/4 of reality. We really need both to overcome life and be happy. :) I've always loved a mini-series called Over the Garden Wall, and this song and lyric video really reminds me of it. Anyone else who watches it should really understand this song better. :)
Over the Winter Wall I don't think that's the meaning at all. In fact, try reading the lyrics starting from the end all the way to the beginning. It becomes a story about a woman being murdered by her stalker.
+Over the Winter Wall that actually makes sense (though i thought it was about a couple and their seperate families who see that this relationship is sort of just a strong but short flare of one until they eventually seperate and fondly remember each other) considering that "Sloom" means light dream
Yeah, I mean everyone has their own take on it. :) I just thought it would be a person who's struggling with fantasy and reality. You know, like fantasy is dragging them down from their reality, and into a bad nightmare-dreamland, that feels good to them at first, but when reality comes it really turns bad. :/ Especially when they started talking about the books and whatnot, and the metaphor with the carpet and forest.
Dani Renedo i think i might actually prefer that theory to mine
Over the Winter Wall.
I like your point of view of this song.
My pet bearded dragon passed a few weeks ago. This song hits hard for some reason. Thanks for the amazing music..
Sorry for your loss, hope you're doing well ❤️🩹
When I started to hear this song, I wasn´t expecting to feel a tear falling down my cheek. This song is just so beautiful, meaningful and human.
I am 56 yrs old. I have loved omam for 4yrs. Their music is so important to me. It is so soothing. I have to rank them with the likes of Pink Floyd, R.E.M., Heart, Sir Elton John etc. I can hardly wait until u visit the U.S. again. thank you.
I've come back to this song. I remember that the first time I heard this masterpiece I was in the edge of dying and begging to get out of my sadness. Today I feel as lonely as I could be, but this song makes me feel loved, that there's hope and I'm on the right path. I love OMAM with all my heart it almost hurts.
I first fell in love with this band when I was visiting San Francisco and at the time I was reading what is now my favorite book. All of their songs remind me of those simpler days :)
Emily Dusablon What was the book?
James G Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children :)
Emily Dusablon Hey, I love that book! Those pictures did scare me when I first picked it up though.
I just love the style of these music videos (well lyric video in this case)
WeWereMonkeys directed these for OMAM and yes i agree this style is AWESOME
they actually directed 2 of OMAM music videos for Little Talks and King and Lion Heart and their lyric videos for those songs tie in to their music videos with the amazing styles! :)
I'm waiting for the day I will see them live. I remember when Little Talks came out and I was going crazy everytime it came on the radio
I remember doing the same thing
Is anyone else in love with this
Um. Yes of course!
Love this album
me !
This whole album feels very nostalgic
[Verse 1]
The sea said goodbye to the shore so the sun wouldn't notice
The seaweed that wrapped its arms around you
The carpet on my cheek feels like a forest
And I run through the tall trees with your hand chasing me
[Verse 2]
The books that I keep by my bed are full of your stories
That I drew up from a little dream of mine, a little nightmare of yours
To be us to take this plunge, to forgive and forget
And be the better man, to be a better man, to be a better man
[Chorus]
So love me mother, and love me father, and love my sister as well
[Verse 3]
The cat's silhouette as big as a monster in this concrete jungle
With street lights hanging their hats
So make all your last demands for I will forsake you
And I'll meet your eyes for the very first time, for the very last
[Chorus]
So love me mother, and love me father, and love my sister as well
So love me mother, and love me father, and love my brother as well
So love me mother, and love me father, and love my sister as well
So love me mother, and love me father, and love my brother as well
[Outro]
I met a man today and he smiled back at me
Now there are thoughts like these that keep me on my feet, that keep me on my feet
so beautiful, their voices are angelic. :)
Like yours, Gyro...
This is one of my favorite songs from this band. Makes me think about my family.
one of my favorite bands in the world OMAM
The thing I admire most about this song in particular is that it doesn't rhyme, and yet it still sounds and flows so well
It kind of does with their cadence and melody.
This is incorrect.
The first time I heard this song I was in tears
❤TheUndeadWaffle❤ Me too! love this song
+Hotzenplotz2008 Me too!!! :'(
Right now is the second time I've listened in a row, and it's making me cry. It's so powerful, it's really making me thinks about life in a way.
"The sea said goodbye to the shore so the sun wouldn't notice" 🎶🎶🎶
Such a heavenly song ahhhh I love this band so much
I proposed to my fiancé with song playing 😊
Beautiful
Did she accept?
+Peri Dori He made a smiley face, so I think that. :)
+Peri Dori so he said fiance soooo
That's cheating.
2024 here! And what an album. Timeless
This song has a different feel to it if you just broke up with a toxic ex vs being in a healthy relationship.
And because of that, I thank Of Monsters And Men for a masterpiece!
I've experienced both while jamming out to this song and am happy in my relationship. As in in less than 5 years, if things are still going good, she's going to be my wife. What helps is the fact we worked at the same job 3 years before and she was there a full year. I was grieving the death of a long term gf and she found her ex around that time. A few years down the road, after I broke up with an abusive ex and a while after my gf and her ex broke up, we run into each other by chance. Long story short is that sometimes God has creative rewrites to the prime objective. And who are we to judge him?
Many do, but honestly I'm glad he did because we're both high functioning autistic people who love cooking. In fact, she matches me in intelligence as well as culinary prowess. This is the first time I've been with someone who I considered my absolute equal and didn't start off seeing it as a business contract.
Edit - definitely gonna be her husband a lot sooner than 5 years.
This song is about a kidnapping and murder.
Question is though.....you get hitched yet??!! I really hope so and that you are happy....❤
Sempre que ouço as musiscas deles vem uma sensação nostálgica, tipo como uma coisa q eu quero muito pq ja vivi.
Amoooo muitoo
How am I just discovering this song? This is so beautiful and it's been out for 4 years, just about as long as all the other songs from them I like...
i feel like a lot of the songs from this album are about being abused, especially this song. it tells the story of two kids being abused by their parents, the kids realizing they deserve better, and when theyre strong enough, looking their parents in the eye and forsaking them and all the lies they told them. the brother and sister only ever wanted their parents to love them, and the strangers smile reminds them the world isnt all evil and cruel. they can carry on. i relate to this album a lot due to those trauma feels
Grupos como estos, me ayudan con la ansiedad, a relajarme y aunque suene cursi a soñar que todo esta bien y que va a estar bien siempre. :'\
es sierto
Essa banda é fantástica, videos, canções, é muito talento junto! Gosto demais!
Você entende do que se trata a música?
I believe this is my favorite OM&M Song ! It's like joy of life, as well !
I just fell inlove with your music.. I already can't listen to anything else. I got addicted to your creation. Keep doing your music! With every of your songs I feel like a better person. Do this music till end of the world, please. Thank you for making me happier and more grateful person. :)
Son los mejores, los esperamos en México.
Best current band! I want to see them live so bad!
You and me both...
I don't understand the importance of a dislike button... I have never used it. If I dislike a song or video, I don't continue watching, I just click away. I don't have the heart to dislike anything.
This song especially isn't deserving of a dislike. 156 people I don't understand.
Disliking serves the purpose of teaching the video suggestion algorithm what you do and don't like. Sometimes people will watch a recommended video exclusively to dislike it, so that videos like it or related to it aren't suggested.
The Cosmonaut Why don't they just click the "not interested" button :/
Maybe, because they didn't know of the existence of it. I didn't know either. I don't know where to find it either... And people are lazy, so they will not search for it if it's not directly in front of them like the dislike button.
Super Mega
Amen, man.
Amen to that.
Criticism is necessary. You can't just say "If you don't like it don't listen to/watch it" because we want things that are good and we want things that we like. By showing our approval of things we like and disapproval of things we like content creators know what to produce. They might even use it as constructive criticism to get better. As much as artists express themselves through song, criticism is our way of expressing ourselves; there's no point in hiding from the negativity when it so blatantly exists and it can spur you to improve.
68 people liked this so much that they turned their computer/tablet/phone upside down and liked it again 😄
No! they thought it's the download button...
+Georgina Smith they are the die hard fans of OF MONSTERS AND MEN
+Georgina Smith Touche
+Georgina Smith And now the number's upside down to.
+Georgina Smith Wut?
Today is the first time I cried listening to this. When I was writing I wrote a sentence that was "I will always be with you, even if I'm not here when you wake up. I'll still be with you." That sentence in the context and what had happened to me just made me think of this in another way. My aunt and two of my cats died before I woke up, and I didn't get the chance to tell them I loved them.
And are thoughts like these that keep me on my feet
This song is so nice
This song is so beautiful. It's definitely my favorite.
I love how peaceful all their songs are! It makes me wanna listen to it forever.
Very very very very very good song
OMAM always gives me such nostalgia. It's insane. Always gets me right in the feels
I can imagine it's about two little kids who love each other deeply and their parents are divorcing. Each parent takes one child and one of them move to the city.
Would make sense because it's a thing that Nanna experienced: Her parents divorced, she stayed in Iceland with her mother and her brother left to Canada with their father.
She wrote King and Lionheart to "vent" about it.
"Salami mother, Salami father"
"And llama sister as well..."
Wtf hahahahahaha I thought it was a different language until I noticed it sounds from "so love me mother" of the song 🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂
I can't stop hearing it now oh no
Of all the OM&M songs I've heard, how did I miss this one? I think I needed this song. I've needed it for a long time.
One of my favorite ❤️🇰🇪
Every song these guys sing is pure magic.
im trying to find a bad song in this album..i think there is none.. i love omam
I've always thought of this song as the story of a murder, just told backward. It's probably my favorite by them, but yeah, the guy definitely kills the girl at the beginning (the end of the story)
@@adambasinger6239 that's a lot of words and a lot of thought put into them. Woah
@@adambasinger6239 wow
I just realized that. It’s kinda terrifying but it’s also really impressive how well thought out it is.
I found this band when I was in the 6th grade and fell in love. That was two years ago and I haven't listened to them in forever and I forgot how great they were. This was my favorite song on My Head is An Animal and it still is. It is like visiting an old friend
Well I can't remember when I first heard this band ( I might of been in year/grade 6) and it was one of the few reasons that prevented me from taking my life. They are truly one of the best bands. Even better than most 80's and 90's bands.
Beautiful song. One of my favorites songs.
"to be a butterman
to be a butterman"
What the hell is a butterman kappa
How comforting this song is!
I love all their visuals!!!!
Listening in 2021. A good Life for everyone ✨
It's my favorite of them all, especially cause the time I told my ex best friend about the we fall in love with this song so now every time I listen to it reminds me the good momentous we had. Thank you OMAM! You rule!!
Aqui em 2021 e nunca cansei de ouvir esse álbum. ♡♡♡
NUNCA!
This is the only band that I can't pick a favourite song, it's like they're all my favourite for many and different reasons. Each song just gives me different emotions. So all of them are my favourite
157 ppl did not have a man smile back at them today
166 now
those poor people
Matilde Neto 184 :(
194 now too bad
I feel really bad for those 198 people D:
:(
O.M.A.M s MVs are slightly scary, showcasing beings that could be told as monsters but the lyrics sung (beautifully at that) are completely of man. Hence, Of monsters and men.
While you may be right, monster is a pretty subjective term. Some of the creatures in the videos have a peculiar beauty about them.
Erin Carmichael "Monster is a relative term. To a canary, a cat is a monster."
I love how deep the comments are
FinalFantasy7Freak6 funny thing is that I don't comment on stuff often and I didn't think OMAM was so popular but I posted a comment in September and the conversation continues...
@@aidanflynn9581 Yeah! The creature from the ending of the MV for Little Talks is beautiful to me, because I somehow find it feline. And I love felines.
The sea say goodbay.. but people say we love u OMAM 🎇❤
Their voices are so angelic
Dont over think the songs let them speak to you and connect with you for every question you ask that songs changes in your mind if you ask what its about you wont enjoy the music as much!!!
love this song, so enjoy their songs
The best band ever! The best song ever! Idek! Amazing!
One of my favourite songs in the world. It always brings me a smile on a rainy day, full of melancholy, hope/positive expectations on a joyous beat. Thank you OMAM for bringing this to the world. May you keep writing, recording and playing and bring much more joy to this world!
I LOVE THIS BAND I LOVE ALL SONGS I'M CRYing
Their music is so calming
This girl I am head over heels about introduced me to this song and...I love it...maybe this is also why I...adore her. Thanks West Virginia!
These Connections between the Songs and the Stories give such an immense Hear-again Value..
this phone of mine I keep by my bed is full of ur songs!!!!!!!!!!
This is such a wonderful song I feel so relaxed. I can feel the last few months of stress just steaming out of me. I feel like crying with joy!
Oh nvm i am crying.
C e qualcosa di speciale in questi artisti!
concordo.....speriamo sia qualcosa di metafisico, anche se, ahimè, sono agnostico 😔😔😔😔💛🌹🙏
This one song brings me to tears still. Every time.
Walking by the sea shore ,waving to strangers and this music ringing from sea. Beautiful moment in my head.
i love all of their lyrics so much because i feel like all of the listeners can take their own personal experiences and use them to create their own meaning of the song
I've been listening to this band since they came out in 2011 (b.o.t.b.) and I just now started noticing the cool little things in their songs such as, "the concrete jungle" when I thought, ah, that must mean a city!! O.M.A.M. is so enchanting and beautiful. Please make more songs they're my go to destressor and they make me love my life.
As well as watching The Unbreakable Kimmy Shmidt...
I met a man today and he smiled back at me
Now there are thoughts like these that keep me on my feet, that keep me on my feet
My fav song always lifts me up when i'm down
For years this song had bad memories for me, reminding me of someone that hurt me and messed me up more than they could know. I've listened to this for the first time in ages and I've realised how much I've grown and how I don't need to be held back by him anymore. I wish I'd realised it earlier because I adore this song so much and I've stopped myself listening to it for so long
