Played this song at my mother's funeral 4 years ago. I wasn't even sure if she liked it that much and probably noone else from my family ever heard it before. I just played it on speakers once or twice at home when I was taking care of her and she asked what the song is. After I told her, we both paused for like a minute, listened to it together and then went back to doing something else. I didn't really know what she listened to other than happy pop music, so, for some reason, I remembered this one when I was making a playlist for the funeral. It was the most generic moment, not even particularly a happy one, just calm, but because of this song, I remember it. I have trouble keeping memories, and I kind of wish I had a better one, but I'm glad I've got at least something.
You have a rare treasure!
It’s impossible to describe the way their music makes you feel. It’s sorrow and joy at the same time. It’s walking alone in the cold and it’s sitting by the fire with your loved ones. It means so much yet it doesn’t ever tell you what it means. It’s amazing
❤💯🫂🙏
Loved this comment.
What a way to claim one did the impossible xD
AaaAáaAÁ@@drox52
You are right is amazing
the phrase "I move slow and steady, but I feel like a waterfall" was something I could relate a lot to when I had huge issues with panic attacks. On the outside I looked like everyone else. On the inside it was pure caos. This phrase put my feelings to words. Thankyou!
+EspenJ27+17+20+666= My life is complicated, my job even more so...... I have been made to hurt people; even though, I would rather have not....... This was a feeble attempt of mine to make you HEALTHY again....... SORRY I HURT YOU, BUT I LOVE MY JOB....... TRY AND BE SLOW AND STEADY....... ALL APOLOGIES. ...... I'M NOT GOD, BUT THOUGHT I KNEW BEST....... MDH+ ALPW
My thoughts exactly
*chaos
Can completely relate
I feel the same way
Sometimes I feel like the world is moving and im just standing still, just like this bird here ❤
I understand exactly how you feel
According to general relativity... ok no, I ain't gonna start with this :)
I first heard this song on a Harry Potter Fanmade Music Video and fell in love with it.🥰
@@happyhappyjoyjoy7676 love this perspective
Go slower life go fast go faster life goes slow be present and yu see everything
When things start to collapse, when my life is step ahead me, when all I feel is rush, this song helps me to sort my thougts. Every time :)
A
im glad it helps you friend :)
Iza Cieniuch same here =)
Iza Cieniuch true I feel the same
That sounds like a cool quote. O.e
Imagine you traveling to Iceland and going on a roadtrip with ur friends around the country listening their songs so loud in the car while you see the most beautiful views of the world in the window... this is what I want of my life
what can we do to get to this point, because poverty cannot allow this
@@reinerb.mugarura8033 gain a growth mindset. If you're convinced poverty will keep you from this dream it will.
listening to their entire album (my head is an animal) rn. And I have to say this is probably the most underrated song on the album
+car1it0sWAY Best Song, no more words.
+car1it0sWAY No doubt!!!
+car1it0sWAY This is my favorite song in the album.
I’m kinda sad they changed to be honest...
I get the animal reference(dirty paws)
Anybody else want to go to the world they've pretty much created?
yes
i want too
I want to go there where i can find advetures... World without rutine... just perfect.
I do
Yes, I would do that. No kidding!
I can relate to a lof of things described in this song.
Darkness, loneliness, the feeling of winter in the summertime.
Eternal winter.
The feeling of imprisonment in your own body and mind.
You want to let go of negativity but you are not able to...because you are in a mental prison.
I feel like this when I suffer from depression (I am bipolar)...
Yet I think the track is very beautiful.
It reminds me of what can be like when I am at my worst.
At the same time it reminds me to appreciate life.
I appreciate my life with every aspect
This song is like breathing
It's pretty deep
Elemental Sheep both I think
Sooo... You can't live without it? Or no matter how much you hold it in, it comes back? (Sorry I'm REALLY late)
Indeed. Pure fresh air.
Yes it is, my anthem after divorce, but I am happy
I sang this song for my fifth grade talent show. I got first place. The funny thing is, though, I'm not that great of a singer- like there were people way better than me- but everyone just loved this song so much they voted for it. I love this song.
hey, I'm sure you're a great singer too!
gratz for the first place
Congratulations and using this song was a probs a special feeling
Congratulations 🥳❤️
this is so sweet. its because of ur passion in ur voice
Keep at it if it makes you happy. This song has moved me so much . . . I think I now forever addicted to this band
This is my favorite song from them, I don't know why. it sooths me when I feel like nothing is going my way and I can't seem to feel happy any more. thank you of monsters and men for helping me get through my struggles with life, like my step dad finally leaving and turning more crazy than he was before and helping me get through not being able to buy good food from the store because my mom doesn't get enough money in a week, your band really helps me get through really hard times.
Sorry life is hard sometimes but hang in ,i went threw worse and im a better person for it today.
Nick Johnston yeah it should
kjerstine larson How old are you. That hurts to know someone may be feeling this way, as a father I could never imagine my child having to endure such a thing. While my life has been turbulent and testing for my self, my wish is that, my daughter may never have to feel the effects of that she only know hope, love, sacrifice and courage.
Vasily Sidorenko I'm 11 but I'm using my moms account, this summer I left to my grandma's house for two whole months, it was amazing. her house is so much fun, I just got back yesterday and things might be on the bright side for me. now that my mom has divorced and I think we're growing closer together than before.
+kjerstine larson hai ! for first i say sorry if my english its so bad :3. i like your positive side.i think its better enough grow with 'one hand'. dont give up for your live mate ^^.
Pretty sure I've heard this band for the first time tonight, but every song feels like I already know and love it. What a fun feeling.
This sounds like an ending to a long story. It's like the kind of music you would play while reminiscing about a friend you haven't seen in years.
Erst vor kurzem bin ich auf diese Band gestoßen und ich frage mich ernsthaft, unter welchem Stein ich die letzten Jahre verbracht habe. Was für eine wundervolle Musik.
I just want to say... That Of Monsters and Men magic makes me feel so good. Like, I really feel sad sometimes and then I feel adorable, adorable happy. I smile, I cry, I found so much of myself in these songs and I've found that part that was a secret also... Real and fictional people and so many feels are slipping through my eyes when I'm listening to this magic! Gosh, so brilliant songs for the life!
ไม่ว่าจะภาษาอะไรทุกคนเข้าใจดนตรีเหมือนกัน มันสวยงาม
Don't know the backstory to this song, but it seems like an Introverted anthem I think. Nothing is better than being in your own place, feels slow and steady; but it is indeed exhilarating. Something not anyone can understand unless those are the shoes you've been given to wear upon your birth into the world. It is a gift. I can't imagine being so dependent on others for happiness and fulfillment. I don't even know how that would even work compared to the world I get to live in. So may it be.
why is this band so underrated ;-;
ikr
+Olivia Syler are they? 3.5 million views doesnt look underrated
Andrew Murphy Well compared to most pop videos from around that same time yeah kinda.
well ya if you compare anything to the mass consumerism that is pop itll seem belittled. In the world of indie/folk/alt/acoustic where there are hundreds of artists singing about meaningful things OMAM fits right in and everyone knows them.
Andrew Murphy agreed!
I love this group so much! They helped me threw some tough stuff these last couple months. Thanks you!
What did you throw?
***** Oh God...
Same here. I was introduced to this band by someone who meant too much to me back then and with whom I no longer communicate at all. I remember I would listen to the entire album and it would just bring me to tears. I will never 100% disassociate these songs from that person, but I have learned to appreciate the beauty of the music on it's own merit. Listening to it is a reminder of what I once wanted more than anything in life and how much I have moved on.
***** That was beautiful.
In your context "through" is the right spelling, instead of "threw". Just trying to be helpful.
I'm glad you got something you needed. I've turned to music for a variety of things too. Whether it's just to sooth my nerves, or I can be entertained by the story, or even if I can glean some wisdom from it, it can all be helpful.
Have a nice day. :)
Who knew a song could be uplifting, inspiring, encouraging, and above all, powerful. Thank you to all you great people who spend your lives making others amazing.
I don't know why this song makes me want to cry, at the same time , its like a lullaby.
This song helped me during my heartache this past week with the death of my sweet loveable dog. 😢 💔🐾🌷
I know that feel :'( R.I.P. your dog
Samuel Gobeil thank you ☺
Jessica Rogers ;_;
Sobe Tobey. sorry for ur. loss

+Expired Torpedo but think of this video compared to... bad blood by Taylor swift. seriously.
+Silvia Menduni U said it

welcome to the OMAM family! I felt the same... I'm like how is such a band coming into my life all of a sudden and resonates with every word. 😂

+brandysumtime love love love amirite up top
Same here, although two years later...
This is the song I use to calm down from panic attacks. It's the only that's ever worked for me
I dug this up on Wikipedia for those who might be interested; Albatrosses travel huge distances with two techniques used by many long-winged seabirds: dynamic soaring and slope soaring. Dynamic soaring involves repeatedly rising into wind and descending downwind, thus gaining energy from the vertical wind gradient. The only effort expended is in the turns at the top and bottom of every such loop. This maneuver allows the bird to cover almost 1000 km/day without flapping its wings. Slope soaring uses the rising air on the windward side of large waves. Albatross have high glide ratios, around 22:1 to 23:1, meaning that for every metre they drop, they can travel forward 22 metres. They are aided in soaring by a shoulder-lock, a sheet of tendon that locks the wing when fully extended, allowing the wing to be kept outstretched without any muscle expenditure, a morphological adaptation they share with the giant petrels.
Of Monsters And Men is a pure gift
That backround drum tho
for real
Yeah, their drummer is soooo underrated, but he's so talented
its my fave!
yeah!!
soo good, makes my heart feel like it has a rhythm for its beating.
You Never fail to impress me OMAM!
Im a writer trying to organize my story before I begin developing it and it's world, but it's like you guys wrote the soundtrack to it!
I love OMAM because their songs can be interpreted in so many different ways they can be relatable to any person and their current situation. Their lyrics for me are like words of comfort in trying times. So many words from different songs of theirs touch me deeply or soothe me in a way I can't even describe. In this one Slow and Steady "I move slow and steady past the ones that I used to know", really helps me to get by all these people that I wanted to know but I'll never will... And while everything feels like a waterfall inside me, I move slow and steady past it all. Eventually I'll get there, but while I don't I'll dance with my own shadow.
So beautiful! Thank you, OMAM.
Its dreamy ❄️
Is the bird moving or is the world moving?
Yes
Cat ninja wat
Editson Rosales yes.
Both
Editson Rosales You have asked a fundamental question on which lies the foundation of theory of relativity!
This is my song. About me. I am introvert and lost soul, and I love it. It's my anthem. Love OMAM.
I love the way this band pays attention to all the details, the phrase "Pass the ones that I used to know" and we can see how the birds are flying down.
Essa banda transmite tanta serenidade, paz, algo mais que não consigo descrever, gosto demais! Linda música, lindo video....amo!
Exatamente!
hermosas canciones que reflejan la cascada de mi interior y la tranquilidad de mi sonrisa
Amen
You may feel alone, but we're all dancing together.
except we're not
Hi, I have discovered OMAM within the past few months. I love pretty much all of their songs. This song though, it has touched me deep down somehow. It has effected me to my core. It makes me want to openly cry because It brings up so much emotion within me, so many different feelings. Happy, sad, overjoyed, scared and all kinds of feelings. The song is very calming to me. I can literally listen to it, sing the lyrics, and block everything everything out of my head. The picture of the beautiful, flying bird, goose, i cannot tell, sorry, is relaxing to me. I can literally put this on repeat and listen to it for hours. It is amazing song.
It looks like it is a stork. They are a sign of luck, bringers of new beginnings.
There's a certain calm to their songs. A calm so addicting you just keep coming back.
when i listen to OMAM i'm just in this whole other world full of my dreams and drifting away so happily and it's like i have this big smile on my face while thinking of life
if that makes any sense
*i have found the gratest underrated band and im happy now if the people of of monsters and men read this just know you are amazing *
I always listen to this song when I’m struggling and it always calms me down and reminds me how far I’ve come. I’m moving slow and steady, but I’m making progress.
That's the spirit!
serenity
This song and music video can describe how a lonely/sad person feels. The lyrics represent it with words, and the music video with visuals. The bird is flying alone, slow and steady, across distant, strange lands. Who knows if it will ever join any of the other birds, or if it will continue the trek by itself.
As I was watching this I started feeling a breeze and I thought, 'Wow, I'm really getting into this!' Then I remembered that my fan was on.....Still love the animation
+Nydia R This band takes you to another dimension !
I live for the day I can finally relate to this song. Just passing by all the monsters in my head, without them hurting me. Reconnecting with the friends I've pushed away. Finally feeling confident in my own skin.
When God abandoned me ,my spirit guide brought me here !!! Praise Orobas the God!!!
This song for me sums up when people are coming to the very end of their life, I work in a care home and this song just resonates with me the passing of the person.
Only now I could see how the video matches the song perfectly!
When we see the bird moving "slow and steady" we may think that it is stopped, but looking closely we notice that it is actually flying. This is what eventually happens when somebody judges us (or when we judge somebody) at first sight. Great idea!
I just recently discovered Of Monsters to Men. Had been listening to the Lumineers a lot and you-tube brought them up thankfully. Obviously I had heard "little talks" but never realized who the band was. But, they are amazing .. Especially for me right now. I've lost my brother, grandma, and Uncle all in one year. I feel like I'm in a fog of emotions and just playing their music helps me get up and get through the day.
This song seems to just put the whole world on pause. It feels like when snow is falling and the world is silenced
Suddenly remember a song by reading "Slow and steady" in a random sentence. Looked it up on youtube and hit play. So much feels and memories suddenly flowing.. i remember this one
... C'mon! Second album plz!
Don't worry it'll be here by winter :) I can't wait either
OMG YAYAYAYAYA
fr3d1304 winter is coming
They already have two albums breeeh. Or at least two releases. One of them may be an EP.
luigimario1144 it is an EP
In 2013- I had an extremely rough June. Short story- a work thing we didn’t expect, followed directly by a personal loss. This some helped keep me going. Thank you.
this is a great wedding song
The lights go out, I am all alone
All the trees outside are buried in the snow
I spend my night dancing with my own shadow
And it holds me, and it never lets me go
I move slow and steady
But I feel like a waterfall
Yeah, I move slow and steady
Past the ones that I used to know
My dear old friend, take me for a spin
Two wolves in the dark, running in the wind
I'm letting go, but I've never felt better
Passing by all the monsters in my head
And I move slow and steady
But I feel like a waterfall
Yeah, I move slow and steady
Past the ones that I used to know
And I'm never ready
'Cause I know, I know, I know
That time won't let me
Show what I want to show
And I move slow and steady
But I feel like a waterfall
Yeah, I move slow and steady
Past the ones that I used to know
And I'm never ready
'Cause I know, I know, I know
That time won't let me
Show what I want to show
I know a few people who think this band is depressing but I find this really relaxing and I love the music and the animation. x
Does anyone notice what kind of bird that is? Look up a European stork, the stork most commonly depicted when bringing babies to parents. The bird in this video looks like a European stork with the colors on its wings inverted. Not sure what that means.
My little pony? Bird fan? You would be my sister s best friend 😂😂😂😂
Saphruikan I'm from Europe and I also thought about stork. There are black storks too, but I haven't seen them :
Saphruikan google japanese cranes - I was instantly reminded of them when i saw this and read your question.
Saphruikan google japanese cranes - I was instantly reminded of them when i saw this and read your question.
The inverted of wings' colours might mean that he s quite different from the others of his kind.and I think that's why he s alone and why he dances with his shadow (I like these lyrics)
I feel like a waterfall.... What a awesome band! Im a Big fan from México ;)
Definitely one of the best closing tracks ever! (and I believe not just in my opinion)...
And I wonder if anyone, other than me, thinks that the lyrics are somewhat same to the procession bringing the dead to their final place, the cemetery, and that no matter how, we're going to be left and to leave the one's we love...that somehow this song states the story of man's final journey in this realm...
Jessie Ramirez don't agree.
Randy Andy even though I take away the part inside the parenthesis? =)
I just now discovered this band, somehow.
I shall now listen to all of their music.
seriously, how did I not know of this band?!
I have no idea how many hours it has been but i can't stop listening to your songs. I don't wanna go back to the world i came from.
Was driving through fjords past glacier water falls in Norway to this song........ most calming thing i have ever done.
Makes me want to cry...
The past friendships and time when I was a small child.
The goosebumps are real
"If you're lost you can look - and you will find me
Time after time"
I just can't get enough of this band!!! There are just soooo good I even went to see them live!!! OMDays!!!
This song is magic.
What a beautiful voice, it gives me goosebumps.
Ooohh Lord these guys are the best.Slow and steady is a stress reliever,so beautiful OMAM your the best
Wow. Time after time, I have been amazed with the artistry from OMAM and WeWereMonkeys. What a great collaboration.
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
That's so epic, you're an absolute genius!!
@@soapy2932 thanks 3 years late but you made my day
Their lyrics are so meaningful,this band makes you question life and society at times...with this band and the Imagine Dragons I am bound to overcome every obstacle/challenge that comes my way

"I'm letting go... but I never felt better". That part really inspire me
This is my go to song 🎵 for so many emotions, for so many good and tough moments in life and it never gets old. ❤
I just heard it... it's awesome. It has all the right elements to touch the soul ❤
OMG! ther's a "Línea de Nazca" in the 1:29!!! *.* I'm Peruvian and I love it!! :3

Beautiful. I love all your songs. So simple and serene. Great job with the videos too.
How can these people make each and every song of theirs sound so dreamlike? It's almost as if it's their superpower.
I have fallen in love with this song recently. It’s so amazing. Also, it’s perfect to listen to at 12am when you’re just about to go to bed.
I love you
I find alot of Insperation in this song.. Thanks Monsters and Men
*inspiration
Me: This is a good song and all, but can that bird glide that long?
Sister: It moves slow and steady.
Me: *Facepalm*
maybe it's very high up, haha
Well, read something about migrating birds. They can glide for months.
@@joannamysluk8623 Without flapping their wings? Surely not
@@jipoudeweernink9364 Well, they do flap their wings, but they glide for most of the time.
It depends on the bird, like the Alpine swifts stay in the air for up to 6 months at a time. The more you flap the more energy you use. They only weight only like a half-pound or less.
This is an amazing song , and it has come to me in the time that I needed it most ! Wow , brought me to good tears for a new beginning !
WeWereMonkeys makes the best lyric/music videos ever. They're perfect for OMAM's songs, too.
2019 anyone?
I played this song to my newborn baby boy back in 2019. he still asked for me to play it.
I think Slow And Steady is my favorite song by Of Monsters And Men.
I like this song pretty much, it's one of the most beautiful songs OMAM has created.
I have watch the video many times but I usually so captivated by the bird that I never remembered to hit the like button until now. Beautiful song and video.
essa banda é uma coisa magica!
So peaceful...
From the Heart , this is Amazing
This song just makes me feel happy and puts a good vibe floating around in my room and my head!
Calming. Peaceful. Made me fall asleep xD
such a relaxing song, makes me feel like im in a place far from busy noisy life
Wow, I am proud of Nanna!! 😊
this song just flows over your body and your soul love it
Essa música sempre me consola em momentos difíceis,obrigada por tudo,vocês são incríveis ^^
*The song is so touching*
i remember the exact place and time i heard this song...on an international flight from new york to london a few years ago. something about her voice made me very sad and hopeful at the same time. by the time the "ohh ohh ohh" part came in at the end, i found myself crying.
they have the most beautiful video clips ever! i can watch them all day
