The thing that I love the most about this band, is that all of their songs are so diverse, and their videos are satisfyingly hypnotizing.
thats why I love them
YOU'D LIKE CAGE THE ELEPHANT
I do like them, actually!
Zxe Joy bae
omg yes : )
I don't know ifanyone will read this. But I just want to say when I was in the Navy I went on a 6 month deployment to the china sea on an aircraft carrier. It was a very stressful time and I felt like I would be trapped on that ship forever.
This song used to give me hope, I listened to it everyday. Knowing I would see a shore again, though I may not know which one. And I found peace and felt that though I was "far from home" in the "salty waves" with jets flying over my head, I was happy. Listening to it now, far from the Navy. I can look back with fondness and renewed strength, knowing I persevered through a difficult time. Thanks OMAM, for an oasis amidst chaos.
Grimes Golden I love scrolling through comments on any OMAM song and seeing beautiful stories like these.
I absolutely adore fighter jets. I think they're pretty cool -- I've always wanted to see them in an airshow.
I'm glad you found hope my friend
Awe this song helped me through a hard time as well but I feel like your story connects more with this song than I
💛😌🙏
youtube: how much nostalgia do you want
me:yes
Right???
Yee
Just searched in nostalgic songs and found this 😂❤
I could practically smell the salty wind!
Maren Gliddon u have a sinus infection
OMAM is so good at sensitizing their sound into visuality and scent :D
This video makes me imagine a story of an entire city having to travel for years to new land because of major flooding at their country, and the people would sing this song during parades
You sir. Are a genius! Thank you for sharing this thought
almost like the doctor who episode with the space whale
+OverChill Oh Yeah! GENIUS
*starwhale*
*****
I mean travelling on a whale .-.
Imagine sailing and a giant whale with a town on its back swims by
This song makes me want to drive across the country in an old car, just taking in all the sights this great land has to offer.
Listened to this song almost everyday when I was on my first long term solo trip, backpacking and volunteering in Norway... "And we are far from home/But we're so happy/Far from home, all alone/But we're so happy"... the lyrics just hit home so hard! And now every time I listen to it I can't help but remember all the beautiful nature I saw and amazing people I met, feeling so nostalgic. I can't wait to hit the road again!
All of their videos have the trippiest shit to accompany the song
yes
don't listen man.nobody force you to watch or listen them..
Tamer Ozturk i never said i didn't like the song
+Tamer Ozturk you should learn to read...
that is true but it what makes the video kinda interesting to watch
My son shot himself in Jan 2020 and we played this at his memorial. this song makes me happy when I think abut him being happy and so far from home.
I am sorry to hear about your son, but I am glad you found comfort in this song playing it at his memorial. God bless you ma’am!
Weak
Youre beautiful
FINNER IS SO CUTE HE JUST WANTS TO HELP AW OMG A BIG PUPPY WHALE :D
He could eat you, and not even notice.
+Centaursixtysix oh my gosh 😂
lel
Y E S
FINNER SHOOOO CUTE RIGHTTTT WHENEVER I'M SAD I JUST LOOK A FINNER OMGGGG PUPPYY WHALE SO CUTEEE😭😭😭😭😭❤️
Is it just me, or is this whole album about that brother and sister in 'King and Lionheart.' Maybe they left their home in Your bones, and travelled to another place in From Finner, etc etc. Which is why when they say 'We' in the songs it is the brother and sister talking. We just have to put all the songs in order
Yea
And Sloom just explains itself .
OMG I didn't think about it, now everything has sense!
Jessica Domladovac yeah but mabe the brother and sister are a metaphor for them and home
Jessica Domladovac yeah but mabe the brother and sister are a metaphor for them and home
Whenever I'm feeling sad or down, I know I can always listen to their music and I instantly feel better.
Same Here!!!🙂👍🙏
I've just realised something:
I have NEVER seen a mean comment on any of the videos I've seen.
Maybe I'm not scrolling down to the bottom of the comments page, or is it just that EVERYBODY LOVES OF MONSTERS AND MEN!
I think the second idea is entirely plausible.
You looking to start something?
Jk. I think you're right. It's really hard to find negative comments on these videos.
ha I was thinking the same thing
actually I've sadly seen negative comments about these wonderful song 😂
+Georgina Smith i once, just once, have seen a mean person, lol
wait i found something...

Why do you guys have to accentuate the beat, chill out, you guys have it but you can't keep on doing the same beat, throw it away. You are doing the same song over and over. Little Talks is great. It is original is your best but the rest is just an echo, get the woman singer a little drunk or something and let it loose.

+Queen Lionheart ,nice...One of the reasons why I love Of Monsters & Men is the fact that they seem proud of their Norse roots...It makes them stand out in the folk scene,because most of folk artists and bands follow ( or at least,try to) Bob Dylan's style,and paying tribute to their Norse roots gives to their songs an medieval and epic touch that the ones who follow the "modern troubadour" style -- that was Dylan's mark -- doesn't have...

This song fit perfectly with all the people who are living away from their home, like students who are living alone in another city or country, etc., it could be like their anthem. It is a very optimistic and relaxing song. I love them! :)
And who else thinks they sing this song during their tours?
Marian Phoenixwings Tuk Alshat yeah, I just came back from my year abroad and watched this. All I could think of was how I felt completely alone and was incredibly distant but still happy. Miss that :)
Yeah, I think this could be an anthem for those who travel. All his music makes me want to travel.
***** yeah, you could be alone but if you're happy it doesn't matter and you can enjoy all the things you're watching for the first time :D
Once upon a Shangri-la hahaha, me too, their music is incredible :)
funny enough I discovered it while moving city's for the first time. Hit nicely
I think in the song they’re talking about Finner who I’m pretty sure is the giant Godzilla sized whale. And I know it’s not hard to tell that they’re talking about him, it’s pretty obvious.
I gotta be honest with you. I think Finner is my favorite creature in the whole monsters of men franchise. He’s a big boi.
I know this is a lyrics video, but since it can be harder to sing along when you only get one word at a time:
We came here on his back
And we caught your eye
The salty ocean wind
Made the seagulls cry
The rocking of his house
Had me holding on
But I knew that I was safe
From there on out
And the waves that hit his face
Marked the past
And the the farrows on his skin
Oh, how time goes fast
And we are far from home, but we're so happy
Far from home, all alone, but we're so happy
After every sunny day
Came a stormy night
That's when Finner would say
Keep your heads held high
And we are far from home, but we're so happy
Far from home, all alone, but we're so happy
And we are far from home, but we're so happy
Far from home, all alone, but we're so happy
It is really hard indeed
I know that feeling, thank you kind stranger
Thanks and finally some one who understands!
It seems like everyone has forgotten that the main purpose of a lyrics video is to sing along.
Imagínate a mi, que apenas se hablar español. 😅
thumbs up if some of there songs make you wanna cry.
kjerstine larson simply cause the feel and emotion in their voices.
gg i love it all so much :0
Omg yes! It takes me to a whole different world, a calming place that I want to be
Tyshene Brewer you just described me completely.
kjerstine larson little talks is so epic it makes me feel free :) and this makes me crying xD
you just described me in every way.
I love this song. It depicts of someone who's far away from home and yet that person is still feels safe and secured despite of being away from his/her origin. I think that all of us dreamed about this kind of situation. Also, this music somewhat makes me visualize of of living a perfect life in college while
away from home. LOL!
Can we just take a moment to see the such beauty and passion they have created for their songs and lyric videos?
This song makes me think of people traveling far away. They are so far away, but they make the best of it. I like this song because it means to be happy wherever you are. Wherever you are, make the best of it. Even if you are alone, you have to be optimistic.
Totally! I wish I could travel. That's the kind of life I want

Well Said!!!.......I couldn't agree with you more.💯👍🙏
Amen :)
Looks like i'm 6 years late to this. Got recommended this Album by a friend and I would like to thank them. This is great.
Man, I love Of Monsters and Men
PeterGecko i like too🤗
I’m writing a book with the first act revolving around pirates and the vibes of that part of the story in this song are immaculate
Is anyone else here kinda reminded of the lion turtle from ATLA?
yes!
Ive been having LITTLE TALKS with myself BENEATH MY BED, waiting over SIX WEEKS for this song that I LOVE LOVE LOVE. This video deserves to be seen by well over a THOUSAND EYES... This is one of those songs you can feel deep in YOUR BONES. Weather it's a hike up BLUEBERRY MOUNTAIN, or a visit to your BACKYARD, this song will embed itself into your ORGANS, your heart, brain etc... This is my WINTER SOUND, my MOUNTAIN SOUND, my EMPIRE. This is my YELLOW LIGHT in an ocean of BLACK WATER, because I am only HUMAN, WE all SINK I am a SINKING MAN. It's a SLOW LIFE, and I move SLOW AND STEADY
a PHANTOM follows me as I stare at the SKELETONS covered with ice CRYSTALS near my LAKEHOUSE. I blaze my illegal NUMB BEARS to try and escape the pain as I enter a deep deep SLOOM. I want to be in HAWAII, I want to have this HAPPY SONG with me. I feel this HUNGER, like WOLVES WITHOUT TEETH do. Their DIRTY PAWS follow their KING AND LIONHEART, searching for the I OF THE STORM.
I picture SILHOUETTES of A BOY AND A BIRD, floating on PARTICLES. The boy, JOSIE, is playing with SUGAR IN A BOWL, sadly singing "WERE GETTING OLDER"
This is the power of this song...
--FROM FINNER
Wow...
That's solid. Beautiful. Thank you
How does this not have at least a thousand likes? xD
@@NovaKaijuComics omg I just got bored and made this comment on every omam song and people are starting to see it :D
**casually screenshots this amazing work of art**
278 people don't know what beauty is.
What I love about Of Monsters and Men is that their music describes emotions that we dont have words for. I dont know if that's intentionally but all their music is so incredible. I fell in love with the folk/indie sound as well as the lyrics that describe the indescribable.
I wish there was slighly same band somewhere, they sing like they're really anjoying where they are.
I just finished watching their live concert in Iceland. crowd was so pleased that they show up and made their evening.
there should be many many more positive and energetic bands out there, but Monsters of men and The Lumeneers will always be my favorite
@@cucuraki5913Mumford and sons?
This song makes me desperately miss my home, and family. What a hauntingly beautiful tune.
We came here on his back
And we caught your eye
The salty ocean wind
Made the seagulls cry
The rocking of his house
Had me holding on
But I knew that I was safe
From there on out
And the waves that hit his face
Marked the past
And the the farrows on his skin
Oh, how time goes fast
And we are far from home, but we're so happy
Far from home, all alone, but we're so happy
After every sunny day
Came a stormy night
That's when Finner would say
Keep your heads held high
And we are far from home, but we're so happy
Far from home, all alone, but we're so happy
And we are far from home, but we're so happy
Far from home, all alone, but we're so happy
imagine being at sea, gazing at the water and night sky full of stars while listening to this it would fit so well
I love the instrumental of this song, one of the best I’ve heard in years…. I hum it whenever I can and find myself longing to listen to the song over and over again. This is good music!
All their videos and song lyrics are so intriguing and beautiful.
I can’t explain it but OMAM’s music is comforting and confusing at the same time. Like there’s so much to pick apart and so many ways you could interpret it and all of the songs may or may not connect to tell one story. But also, they’re not trying to hide things or confuse you out of spite, they’re just telling you a story in an odd and beautiful way.
This song actually reminds me of the story of the first avatar, where everyone lived on Lion Turtles
In the Legend of Korra
AAAAAAHHHHHHHH YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
AH i love those shows
Who thinks that the comics are successful to the continuation of ATLA
matt gaviola I DO!
***** Haha yea, true. Fun show :)
I was thinking exactly the same thing when I saw your comment
lol
I get chills every time I listen to this song. Excellent !
I really like this song because it focuses on the lyrics and stuff more than the chorus where most songs on the radio are like 70% chorus and 30% other stuff.
If that makes any sense xD
Same here. I enjoy this kind of songs that are so much richer in the sense of the stories and meanings delivered through the lyrics, but I think that’s the reason why many of their songs don’t catch on in mainstream media. Most people just focus on music that are catchy and don’t bother to pay attention to deeper meanings. I really feel bad for them for missing out on the true masterpieces
everytime im sad. I'm watching this and it always makes me happy
"but I knew that I was safe from there on out"...chills every time!
I've been waiting a hundred years for this. I love everything.
I really like watching these lyrics videos so I can compare what I thought the song was about to what this video shows.
Is that... The Statue of Liberty? I KNEW New York was just on the back of a giant whale!
+B McKelvy you are a bloody genius XD
Potato Clockwise you are a bloody great comedian XD

As a New Yorker I can confirm
This video reminds me so much of the doctor who episode about the space whale that saved the UK, I love imagery like this it shows that even monsterous beasts can be kind and gentle.
This music is a beautiful revelation to my ear!!!
Me directing a whole indie movie in my brain :)
To be honest, so far, i cant even find a song is bad...
Totally right
Nah there are people like me who like it.
yeah, I've never heard a bad song from these guys
Yeah, well they made some now. Thank you very much
May God bless this band during this pandemic. You are one of my favorites of this era.
Bardzo mi się podoba to "La La La" z akordeonem. I am from Poland, and I love they music! Aby takich ludzi z takim głosem jak wy było jak najwięcej!
They are one of the few bands tht actually put so much emotion and effort into music !! And they jst sound so amazing !!!! 😭
i moved out at 17 because of sexual abuse from a family member and this song just reminds me how strong I am and what I escaped 🥺 this album makes me so emotional OM&M has gotten me thru some dark shit since 2013 ❤️
Hope you're doing good
💛💜keep staying strong💜💛
Stay strong. Let the bad memories die.❤
hope you're doin' fine rn
Relates so much to me and everyone living far from home far from our families..wow amazing song..
I've noticed a lot of OMAM's songs have mentions of the sea, deep, drowning, water, and something related to those in general.
Mysvious I know this is 3 years late but it’s because they lived in Iceland and the ocean is a big part of life on the island.
lakehouse- self explanatory title
sloom- swamp in the music video
yellow light- mentions of swimming sharks
sinking man- video of a man drownning
little talks- music video began on an airship/ the crew nearly drowned
love love love- minotaur and sea serpent fell inlove
your bones- music video has a ship sailing into the horizon
just a few examples :)
I always get teary-eyed every time I hear this song :')
How this genre of music is called? Folk? That's a masterpiece.
It´s Indie-Folk
U are the amazing ones in the world
The video,
Those amazing creatures,
The idea u used is incredibly *AWESOME* !
In my opinion this Finner looks like an Icelandic sea creature from 13 th century called Hafgufa
The imagery is exactly what the song made me think of :D
I love the the art style for all their videos and I love their music.
i love how every official lyric video for this band is just mesmerizing looped animations of cool monsters
This song gives me chills...not only the melody, but also the lyrics
How could this get dislikes? It is so perfect~
I completely agree
+Cool Guy Caleb ~i have never heard it on the radio, maybe little talks in 2012
Sometimes ads interrupt the music
This song transports me to an extreme adventure in the middle of nature, something like inside a mountain, so far from home but very happy... sounds very fascinating
This is just great. I am listening to OMaM for 3 years, and their song will never get old... So calm, so chilled, love it!
WONDERFUL FEELING OF PEACE THAT THIS SONG BROUGHT.
Omg, i'm so relaxed right now...
This is totally my favorite song! Such a creative chord progression.
OfMonsterAndMen never fail to make anxiety or sad feelings feel so relieved in the end and all throughout. I've only started to listen to their songs off a leap of faith and it's stuck, love it all
Always listening to this for a year going to school in the morning, always starting the day crying and trembling
Man. I can't believe when I first heard this album I only liked half the songs, and this wasn't one of them. Every single one of these is so damn good
Bro I only knew 3 songs from this album but when I got their vinyls that was immediately changed. This band makes amazing songs
NEW ALBUM IS COMING!!!!
really? how do you know for sure
Christian Rasmussen they keep saying they are working on it so..
completely missed that! thats great news!
*OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG*
I'm excited.
I can't for it.They're like the best band in the whole world.
Man i love the style of using an accordion in this song
i swear ive known this song for like 6 years now and its still so perfect i love omam so muchhhh
Howl's Floating Castle
or, Castle in the Sea lol
guys 😂😂😂😂
actually, it was 'howls moving castle,' It was still on the ground, not floating. however, 'leputa, castle in the sky' was floating :) Sorry, studio ghibli fanatic right here :D
Leo R ACTUALLY, it reminds me more of a Gorgon from Nausicaä
I think he purposefully said 'floating' instead of 'moving', as if it was Howls Moving Castle but in water.
I wish this monster was real, he seems so wholesome and tame.
God I love this song I can not stop and. I love her way of singing her voice is way. To heaven
They have the most incredible videos. Just amazing.
I'm anxiously waiting for Little Talks, Six Weeks, and Yellow Light! :D

I love the animation !!
Everyone seems to think this song is happy, that they sing it in parades, that its people running away finding a better life... but I hear sadness in the singers voice a silent misery. The way the odd circus music starts and the odd emotionless lalalala, it makes me think they’re not so happy. They’re trying to convince themselves they are. The shaking of his home had us holding on. I know what that is like, when you live with someone who isn’t stable, when they’re House is violently shaking and your struggling to hold on. But a5 the same time that person has taken responsibility of you, they feed you and house you, yet they’re not stable, they’re not good, and like a whale you are trapped in their back with nowhere to go. No way to leave so you sing to yourself about how “Happy” you are and how great it is to distract yourself from the fact there is no alternative. That you don’t want this but you have no where to go. You are far from home because you moved far away from your old life with this person,you uprooted everything without leaving a way back. I feel like this song embodies my mother from a long time ago. She couldn’t afford to take care of me and my siblings so she found a man, he offered to have u live with him, they had been dating for years at this point, we were loosing the house and had to leave, there my mom had friends and support groups. At first we moved nearby, and everything fell apart. It turned out the man was a compulsive gambler, he had an addiction and decided to take on a family while he had this problem. We never had money for rent because he would gamble it away. We had gotten kicked out of the house we lived in with him and moved in with his mother for a few months. Far from home, all alone. We eventually moved somewhere else, somewhere we had never been before, an hour away from anyone I knew, from my friends, my dad, distant family, everything. And for 3 years we lived without knowing if we would have a home next month, they always fought and argued, there never was money, we survived on food drives sometimes, we had electricity and water shut off a few times, I grew up without internet or tv. The worst part was the mans job paid well, enough to support a family but he wasn’t right in the head. He was crazy, I think he was kind of a sociopath, he was mean and cruel, even when he didn’t gamble. He would always pester my mom for her child support money so he could gamble it. He would yell and scream that if she didn’t give it he wouldn’t have money for rent and it would be her fault we were on the streets. When she said no he would yell at us that our mother didn’t love us and it would be her fault we would all be homeless. And we had no one, nothing, we were all alone, and we were so “ Happy”. This is the dark story I hear when I play this song. And like the circus music seems to imply it’s all crazy. So the poor people on the whales back maybe never wanted to be there, maybe the whale wasn’t such a good guy, maybe they miss the home they are so far from. But they sing to themselves about how happy they are as to not lose their minds. Think about that.
Thank you for sharing your perspective.
I believe that whole album is to her baby brother and how much she misses him. I know some of the songs are they talk about it and how the band felt it was important for her to get this out and for him to know. Her baby brother lives in canda she lives in Iceland so she doesn't get to see him much and she misses him alot.
Thank you for sharing your opinion
that was sad :(
thank you for sharing that and I hope that witnessing that made you a more defined person and gained a lot of wisdom along the way. Best wishes dude
I love reading all the different fan interpretations of these magical songs
I like how most monsters and men songs are always going somewhere.
I wish I lived on a whale's back.
get ready to battle the sea tick
Idk all this time I just thought how the people in the city had to hold on for their dear lives because it's like a continual earthquake for them
Thank you guys for excellent music. With love from Russia.
I swear these guys have the best songs and the best music and lyric videos
I don't wanna live in regular world anymore, just let me live in OMAM-lyric-video world.
This would make an amazing book.
YES IT WOULDD!!! Sorry, just a lil over exited for no reason over here..-
2021, hope y'all hustling through. 👊🏻
i like this bands use of metaphors.
very abstract yet right on
