- "Soldier, Poet, King"
Sometimes a song magically takes on a life of its own, years after its original release, and we just think that's neat. The attention and affection we've seen for Soldier, Poet, King has been genuinely mind-boggling, and it's been a true honor to witness the love and creativity on display in your covers, fan art, TTRPG playlists, OC cosplays, and more.
So, in celebration of the 8th anniversary of our album Dear Wormwood, we're releasing an official "Soldier, Poet, King" lyric video!
Designed by Dreambear Studios, this video brings these three archetypes to life in delightful popup storybook fashion.
Thanks for listening!

Oh wow!! Hi, I'm the creator of the original animation meme for this song, and I never would have imagined it would balloon into something so huge. Thank you so much for making such lovely music, I'm glad I could play a part in helping more people discover your work! 💚🐸
You have my gratitude on account of that. I found this song first due to the animation meme you created, and it was because of it that I looked up the band and found their others songs; it's one of my favourites now and all my playlists have their songs.
So, thanks!
omg hey, it was because of you I even discovered this band and now they’re a longtime fave!!!
i'd like to thank you for introducing me to the band that got me through all of my hardest times. truly a gift
OMG GOTHFROG HAIIIIIII
i have to thank you bc the popularity of the song cuz of the meme led me to this band and now they've been a favorite of mine for years
After all the animations that have been made with this song from all sorts of fandoms, it feels right to finally get an official one

@@deft4184 Search “Soldier Poet King animation” on youtube and you’ll see
Verdade kkkkk 😊@@deft4184
I love the backgrounds! It's so 'pop-up children's storybook', the spinning lil guys were adorable too
Oh it is! I didn't even notice that until now!
It’s like a combination of a pop up book and shadow puppets
ikr!! the vibe makes it feel like this is a story that had been passed down for generations and they’re telling the next crop of kids
ikr!!! they're just silly little guys!!!
It's so lovely how you love it :)
I loved the symbolism when the 3 figures came and danced together, it represented the perichoresis or the Trinity Dance in an incredible way.
I was thinking just that! I though it was beautiful
@@navyalam2129 It really is very beautiful. It reminded me of the following quote by C. S. Lewis: "The sweetest thing in all my life has been the longing - to reach the Mountain, to find the place where all the beauty came from."
Yall are talking about our Lord and Savior Jesus right?! ❤❤❤
@@scooby_snacks30 Yes we are!
Feeling incredibly fortunate to have been a part of this amazing project. Working on the 'Soldier Poet King' lyric video with OhHellos has been an absolute joy. Thanks to their incredible music and vision, as well as the outstanding direction of Alejandra Molina and Kabir Rojas at Mero Estudio, and the collaboration with Dreambear Studios, we were able to bring this enchanting world to life. It's a labor of love, and we're thrilled to see it come to fruition. Enjoy the magic!
All your songs are so beautiful and I’m grateful to have been introduced to them through the animations I’ve seen online. I’m so happy to know you enjoy them too!!
ikr!! animations introduced me to the oh hellos and I am so grateful for the discovery :D
YESSSSS

THIS IS SO PRETTY AND COOL! THE ART IS LOVELY
YOU ARE VERY SMART
This prob took months-
I found this song as an animatic for a video game I was playing at the time. It was so good that I decided to do something I had not done for any song before. I decided to listen to the whole album. I fell in love with your music. I shared it with several friends who also fell in love with it. I love poetry, I love Greek mythology, I am a Narnia fan, and I am a Christian so your music hits a real sweet spot for me and has a special place in my heart. Thank you so much for creating it!

The way the lil’ guys go spinning for half the song is so chaotic and cute 😭
The little figures dancing are so wonderful, i loved it!!
First reply, Also yes!! The figures are so cool and the background is just perfect😮
fr dude
Crying this is so cute, i love how this song is being kept alive through the years, it's been a part of me that i have been holding dearly for years
This was beautiful! I love the little figures and how when they stand sideways they’re thin like cardboard cut-outs! It fits well with the stage theme going on. And their dancing and twirling together through the woods??? I almost squealed, I could not stop smiling. Major props to Dreambear Studios! This was a wonderful treat to have before my rehearsal!
The Oh Hellos, I dont know if you will read this, but you are the best band I have ever listened to. I found you guys early this year, and I basically have listened to you nonstop since then. I have your beautiful songs stuck in my head every day, I have tracked down every concert video of yours on RUclips, and I use your songs to help me through tough times when im doubting my faith. Your song Lay Me Down makes me want to cry every time I listen to it, and Dear Wormwood is my favorite song of yours. I listen to it almost daily to remind myself who I am, and all that Jesus has made of me instead of my demons. Thank you so much for your music, I really hope you can make more one day ❤❤❤
you said it!!!
I loved everything you wrote... I've known The Oh Hello's for a little longer, but I have the same feeling. God bless you❤
This official animation feels like a big thank you to all who used this song for their creative outlet. Such a nice gesture.
I randomly came across this song while I was travelling in the Scottish Highlands. Such beauty! Such a gorgeous song with the scenes set in my memories now ❤
I often struggle with depression, and it can get pretty bad. But when I listen to this song it makes me feel like everything is going to be alright. It is so comforting.
THIS IS SO BEAUTIFUL ITS LIKE SOMEONE IS FLIPPING A STORYBOOK RIGHT INFRONT OF ME
(I'm claiming my spot as one of the first 1000)
REAL
This song reminds me of the bible..
Soldier: david
Poet: paul
King: Jesus
Thank you so much for your music!! For years now, you’ve been my favourite musicians, and you’ve helped me through so much! Your music means the world to me, and I hope that you eventually make more for everyone to enjoy!
Lyrics :
There will come a soldier
Who carries a mighty sword
He will tear your city down
Oh lei, oh lai, oh, Lord
Oh lei, oh lai, oh lei, oh, Lord
He will tear your city down
Oh lei, oh lai, oh lei, oh, Lord
There will come a poet
Whose weapon is His word
He will slay you with His tongue
Oh lei, oh lai, oh, Lord
Oh lei, oh lai, oh lei, oh, Lord
He will slay you with His tongue
Oh lei, oh lai, oh, Lord
There will come a ruler
Whose brow is laid in thorn
Smeared with oil like David's boy
Oh lei, oh lai, oh, Lord
Oh lei, oh lai, oh lei, oh, Lord
Smeared with oil like David's boy
Oh lei, oh lai, oh, Lord
Oh lei, oh lai, oh lei, oh, Lord
He will tear your city down, oh lei, oh lai
Ohh
Oh lei, oh lai, oh lei, oh lai, oh
Oh lei, oh lai, oh lei, oh lai, oh
Oh lei, oh lai, oh lei, oh lai
Oh lei, oh lai, oh lei, oh lai, oh
Wow good job

The meaning of this song is beautiful too.
This is the first song I heard of yours and also my favorite. Glory to our Lord Jesus Christ ❤ Glory to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit!
amen!
🙏🙏🙏
Please stop.. this is not a Christian band, please stop
@@roy9161this is literally told to be about the second coming. Cope
@@brandonwilliams9462 this doesn't talk about that.. this is not a Christian band or CCM
My brother saw you guys in concert years ago at George Fox. He told me to give your music a listen, and you became my favorite band overnight! This lyric video is so fitting for the song, and it's fun to see after enjoying the song for years! Thank you! -from a very loyal supporter haha
All the memories of this song..
The animation memes..
The covers..
Heck, even the song itself!
Just to he overrun by a bard named "Venti" over there in TikTok. I'm staying here :)
Agreed
Apparently the voice actor sang it..her voice is pretty nice
Is Genshim Impact's reference
The king is coming💕💖
7 years and counting of listening to this band, not a week goes by without me craving to listen to the masterwork collection that is your albums. Incredible as always.
I just love how their songs have a christian and gospel message! Continue doing this!! 🤍
Really?! I'm so happy OMDS, do you know what the meaning is??
@@elsieprempeh Yes, most of his songs are Christian, if I'm not mistaken, they are all christian, but this one says about the King David, that he was literally a Sodier, poet and a King! (Says a lot about Jesus too)
@@heloisa2002 I'm so happy to find a new gospel song! Thanks so much for sharing:)
@@heloisa2002You’re pretty much right, but I’m quite sure it’s about Jesus mainly and has resemblance to David because Jesus had similarities with his ancestor David. It says “smeared with oil like David’s boy”, obviously referring to someone other than David if it’s his “boy”. This refers to how in prophecy and in the genealogies listed in two of the gospels, Jesus is the descendant of David. It also says “there will come” throughout the song. This can be seen as reflective of either the prophecies telling of Jesus’ coming before his birth, or as referring to the second coming which is still in the future. I hope that makes sense!
@@zekofirez39 Tysm! I love the meaning
As someone who got introduced to this amazing band by one of the animations for this song it feels like everything has come full circle. Absolutely love it!
This was my introduction to listening to your music in the first place.
And every time I listen to this song, I feel like hiking on an adventure.
Or even going on a Renaissance fair at some point.
You guys have so much variety with your unique style of rhythm in your music.
I'm crying this was perfect!!
I love how you post during October, around this time, because it's close to my birthday and it always brings my such immense joy to see new content from you! Your art and songs have inspired me through the years and helped me in my darkest moments.
I can only Thank you ❤
This was beautiful to watch. This was the first song from your band that I listened to. To see it brought to life in a lyric video moves me beyond words.
Thanks for releasing this, so fun for the song to come to life like this. Hope to see/hear some more news and releases soon, love you guys!
this video is so gorgeous and homely, i love it so much!! the art is beyond lovely and the animation is adorable. i've absolutely adored seeing soldier poet king diffuse across the internet, as someone who has been a diehard fan of the oh hellos for years, and i'm just so happy to see it get the recognition it deserves.
This is beautiful! I've loved this song for years. It almost beats Passerine! It does an excellent job illustrating the many roles of Christ. I can't believe how amazing your art style is either! Thank you so much for the hope this song has brought me. (psst, I also really like Passerine!)
Another Passerine enjoyer, cheers!
I'm also a Passerine enjoyer
@@purpleenthusiast5814 cheers!
@@iamlanaaa_ noice
Haha… Passerine… definitely not getting flashbacks🙂
I'm so excited for you! Your songs are amazing and it was so exciting to see that "Soldier, Poet, King" has an official music video!
I found your band through the many animation memes of "Soldier, Poet, King". I went through your entire "Dear Wormwood" album one afternoon and just kept listening.
This year, the Oh Hellos is my second most-listened-to band on Spotify. Both for me and my sister.
Thank you for creating such amazing music and I wish you all the best in your future! ❤
Been an avid lover of you all since I was 14 (now 22) and I just wanted to thank you for creating art that is so intricate sonically and lyrically. Every new phase of life and myself I find myself in or approaching, your music has/brings new meaning. The spiritual/religious themes along with themes of politics, literature, life, and love truly represent what it means to be a human in this world. Thank you thank you thank you. Loved this lyric video!!!
How amazing this song is that it can make listeners feel like they are in another dimension doing experiences that don't happen in the real world.👏👏👏
I've loved this song for the longest time, and I am in love with this video as well!! The art is so lovely and a fun visual to go with the song, and the three of them dancing together at the end of the song brought me so much joy!!! Thank you so much for this
Thank you Tyler and Maggie and everyone else involved for all the beauty you’ve brought to the world. I’ll be listening ‘til the end ❤
the little guys just spinning at the end is so cute!! i love this whole thing, very children's tale vibes! i am no more different from a whole group of other people, discovering you guys from this very song. then a silly little fanfiction made me curious about you two so i came here and now im completely obsessed with your songs! love you guys to the end of life, always, keep going ❤❤
y'all's music helped make me a Christian again. thank you
Im so happy to hear that, if you want prayer or any help with anything God related please tell me 🙏🙏🙏
Welcome back to the family brother/sister!
I'm sorry you fell back into a system of abuse and lies. My condolences.
@@invisimous6728
Who’s the one in a toxic system again? Seems like your reply isn’t helping your cause.
Sorry, but humanism is honestly one of the most toxic ideologies. And it FAILS so badly, human flourishing has happened under Christianity unlike any other religion or lack of. Universities, schools, hospitals, values of education and just pure good over evil. I wonder why millions want to move to the western world, the part of the world that receives most immigrants? The part of the world BUILT by Christianity, and the dire consequences seen in a culture that is starting to forget that.
Christianity, the religion that worships God as coming to earth as a Humble, suffering servant, while making it very clear evil will be punished in the end is… toxic?
Also, the lies part is greatly warned about in the Bible, let’s read the epistles.
@@bikesrcool_1958 Christianity is a vile system of abuse masquerading as a savior. Ignoring the fact that there is no actual observable, falsifiable, testable evidence, why anyone would wish to worship a mob boss who threatens you with eternal torture unless you give him what he wants.
Christianity (and most religions, really) has for centuries been a monument to the arrogance of man. You make unfounded assertions about the nature of reality, provide no actual valid evidence, refuse to listen to ANYthing that disagrees with you, then walk around whining about how oppressed you are.
You devalue the lives and worth of already marginalized groups, like the LGBT community, for no reason other than your own personal broken moral compass. You try to force your beliefs on others via the government, like with Roe V. Wade, or with programs like gay conversion therapy camps.
It should stop at being willing to believe anything without evidence. If you can be convinced to believe in something without evidence, you can be convinced to believe in ANYthing without evidence. Once you sabotage your own epistemology, all it takes for you to be convinced is for someone to say the right things to confuse you into believing.
Your religion teaches you that, despite having done nothing wrong, you are inherently broken, evil, and worthless. That it's only through the grace of God that you may be redeemed. That because something absolutely outlandish and logically impossible happened, with no evidence to support it, we must strive to seek forgiveness from God.
1.) Any being deserving of worship would not expect or want it.
2.) Any loving and merciful being would not intentionally inflict suffering or death on another they love, or threaten them with infinite punishment for finite crimes.
3.) Any logical God who wants Humanity to both know of their existence and worship them wouldn't reveal themself to only a handful of desert nomads, or allow their only direct teachings to be written down in a language they know will die out soon, and have to be questionably translated later.
4.) The existence and history of Lucifer (someone who knew very well both the existence of God and the full extent of God's power) prove that, if the god of Christianity revealed themself to humanity in no uncertain terms, we would be under no obligation to worship them, even if the question of their existence is answered.
This is so beautiful and fitting for the song! It’s such a lovely way to represent an equally lovely song!
I love this!!! Dear Wormwood was such a powerhouse of an album, and this song was just so sweet. I would absolutely LOSE IT if you guys could do more of your songs! I was just telling my friends the other day about the Four Winds albums and telling them to check you guys out, and this is perfect.
i didn't know this song was about the 2nd coming of Christ, but it makes this song even cooler!!! love this song!!
David is the soldier. Solomon is the poet. Jesus is the ruler.
This is awesome! I was just talking to my friend yesterday about how y’all hadn’t posted anything in a while, and what a way to come back! Truly awesome animation for one of my favorite artist’s best songs
This song was the first song I heard from y’all, and I’m so glad I found your music! This video makes me feel so nostalgic and delighted!
I love this! I'm so glad you guys are still making stuff. I love how symbolic and meaningful your music is!
Ahhh!!!! an official lyric video after all the animations!
this gives off such pop up book vibes i love it :)) 💗💗
Oh my gosh, after all the fan animations of this awesome song, there's finally an official one!
It looks amazing I've only known them for 3 minutes but I love the silly dancing puppet people. Top tier stuff (as always)
I actually discovered your band through one of these animations and instantly fell in love with all of your music. I listen to it when I drive, when I write, clean, paint fences, really anything. I love it so much and Dear Wormwood is my favorite album
Good to see that the Oh Hellos still revisit one of their most iconic songs, much love Ty and Maggie
fantasy vibes.
The animation is beautiful!! Could you do some of your other songs too please? ❤
THIS WAS INCREDIBLE AND SO PRETTY!!!! I cant wait till you guys release more music, I LOVE YOU BOTH!! 💞💞💞💞
I absolutely love this song, and all of your work. I first found out about you guys through Annapantsu’s cover of this song 😅 and I listened to the whole Dear Wormwood album after that. Three years later, I own the tenth anniversary vinyl album, and I have a tattoo dedicated to your music. It’s been a real comfort in some darker times in my life, so I’m glad to see this song become popular! I urge anyone reading this comment to please listen to the rest of their music! It’s all just as good, if not BETTER!
Just discovered this song today, so this is convenient timing.
this is so so good! They're just silly little critters, I love it 🥹
Great job you two! Soldier, Poet, King is one of my favorite songs you guys made!
Happy 8 Years to this wonderful song!! The animation is gorgeous
I had a HEART ATTACK when I got the notification!!
This was the song that lead me to the wonderful artists called “The Oh Hellos”. To all who had made those animations, to that first animation I saw and the last one before I fell in love with this band, thank you greatly. “Soldier, Poet, King” will always have a special place in my heart, and I can guarantee you I am not the only one with such a mindset. So oh, hello, dear animators of this masterpiece.
The animations and everything about this are so so cool! I hope this blows up
Hello! I wanted to say that your music has made a huge impact on me. I started listening in middle school and just graduated from an associates degree, and heading to university next fall. I really hope that you guys could come to Michigan at some point if you ever tour, it would mean the absolute world. Either way, thank you so much for your instrumentals and lyrics in every album, and I can’t wait for more of your guys passion to be unleashed!
This song led me to The Valley and Dear Wormwood as well as the rest of your music. I love this feeling you capture, though I have no clue what your genre is even called. Both of the aforementioned albums have brought me peace, clarity, healing, inspiration, and (most influentially) closure regarding my religious trauma.
Thank you for putting such beauty into the world. This little animation perfectly captures how I first imagined it in my head.
Plus with the three little guys looking exactly the same, it helps allude to the original meaning of the song. Brilliantly done! ❤❤❤
I think folk rock is a good descriptor.
If you want an album series about people coming to peace with their experience of western Christianity, you *NEED* to listen to their Four Winds quartet. Like, immediately. Notos, Eureus, Boreas, and Zephyrus are the four EPs, and the set is just over an hour long. A major theme of the album, and quite possibly the main theme, is the singers' journeys through a spiritual reconstruction after seeing the harm that Christians had caused in the world, crying out for change, and finding new peace. It's absolutely magnificent, and I only found out about it this month, but I must've listened to it half a dozen times by now. My favourite song in the set is Zephyrus, but if you have religious trauma, please PLEASE go listen to Passerine! But honestly, you might love the whole thing. To quote the band's page, it was an "interrogation of [their] own beliefs", and how they wanted to "ask the winter to rekindle [them] into something warmer and softer than who they've been". It's incredible.
Anyway... I think folk is the main genre. I've heard people saying indie folk and folk rock both fit.
@@MedorraBlueI’ve listened to Zephyrus. It was a recommendation for one of my Spotify playlists. I haven’t given the whole thing a listen yet, though, so thanks for letting me know. I can’t wait to hear it now!
The king is coming!
this is so cool!!!! thanks for the wonderful music you guys have made over the years ❤️
What a wonderful surprise!! this is a beautiful lyric video for such an inspiring song 🧡
I was just relistening to Dear Wormwood a ton for the past few weeks, and even mentioned "Soldier, Poet, King" to some of my friends the other day being a song that goes beyond the scope of the concept album. This is truly a surprise and I love every moment of it! I do thought that this will also lead to a remaster of the entire Dear Wormwood album, but this alone is truly amazing. Sure hope to hear more from you guys soon!
By the way, the art in this is majestically created! You don't have to go overboard with a lyric video, but this is something more. You guys are truly amazing :)
THE ANIMATION IS SO BEAUTIFUL!!!
AWUGH THIS IS ADORABLE I LOVE THE TEXTURES AND ALL THE LITTLE GUYS SPINNING AROUND RAGHHHH
This is so cool!!! I've love seeing this song take on a life of its own over the years! Your music inspires me so much!
Salve Amigos... que Deus continue a iluminar seus passos lhe concedendo muitas alegrias e realizações! Forte abraço a partir do Brasil!!
Well this was absolutely magnificent. Would love to have one like this for each song on Dear Wormwood, especially Caesar, Pale White Horse, and Where Is Your Rider?
This makes me so happy. Look at the little dancy guys! I love it! :D
this is such a delightful little video omg,, i love the style sm, it works so well with the song!
This is so magical and lovely
I never knew this was about Jesus til i saw a comment in another video and now i love this aomg even more

Yeah, even if one weren't a believer, catching that reference really changes the mood of the song!
This is by far one of the best lyric videos I’ve seen until now 🔥👌
Dude this is so dope! I love your guys’ music, keep up the good work!
Este estilo es tan vuestro, me encanta 🫶🏻
This song introduced me to my favorite band of all time! Thank you so much.
Also, please make merch 🙏. Slap these little guys on a t-shirt, I will buy it immediately
Happy 8 Years Dear Wormwood! 🎉 💛 I can't believe its already been out that long, and I can't wait to see what other kinds of creativity bloom from your guy's music! :)
Just saw your post on Instagram and my first thought was "they're baaack" 🤩 was feeling like a child on Christmas. This video is great, can't believe it's a 8 years old song. I'm also hoping for new music. Miss the feeling when I listen to a new The Oh Hellos song for the first time. Favorite band forever ❤❤❤😊
Yo, one of my favorite songs by y'all!
Super excited for this!!
Never realized but this album dropped on my birthday. That's sweet (:
This song has been with me through a lot! Glad to see this video.
Very beautiful. So happy to see an official video for this song.
This one, offers his gratitude for this bountiful upload. This song, it has captured this one’s heart, just as a moonbeam pierces the night's darkness. Since that first howl of sound touched Tarbh’s ears, it has become his most cherished melody. Thank you Maggie and Tyler!
May you all be blessed with wonder, who contribute to the birth and preservation of this musical treasure. This one will carry this song with him through the wilderness, a loyal companion on his adventures. Thank you, fellow journeyers, for sharing this precious gift with us all!

I don't know how I've missed this video being uploaded, but I love it! I think the art style fits the song especially with how I always imagine it as some kind of legend or story being told through time. Thank you Soldier, Poet, King for being the song that introduced me to Oh Hellos and making me able to enjoy theor other songs too!
