Of Monsters and Men - I Of The Storm (Official Lyric Video) 

"Are you really gonna love me when I'm gone?" Hits me right in the feels....

I've never heard a song so beautifully encompass the emotions of fragility, self-doubt and melancholy.....this song is saving me

I am still so in love with this. I found it when I was homeless and my soul was truely broken, I just thought "if I die, just disappear.. no one would even know or care." I listened to this to make me remember that I DO matter, my feelings DO matter and I am a human being that deserves love and care. I still return to this song and particularly this video now- I am not homeless but I still struggle every day not to be. And still, no one else cares.... BUT I CARE ABOUT ME. I MATTER.

All the music videos of the last album are of strange creatures, and all the videos of this album are of people. So last album they were of monsters, and this one they're of men. This person is by far my favorite. He conveys such emotion, even though he's not the actual singer.

One of my favorite things about Of Monsters and Men is how positive the fan base is. All of their lyric videos are so beautiful and all the comments spread nothing but positivity. Always brightens my day

It's amazing the way this band broke every kind of stereotypes

I cant believe how beautiful is this. I love love love the song.

Of Monsters and Men, twenty|one|pilots, and Mumford & Sons there's too much new music for me to handle this week! GUYS I AM ONLY ONE PERSON!

His expression is so raw! Fantastic!

"Find the sky filled up with diamonds", beautiful tattoo

Art should disturb the comfortable and comfort the disturbed.

this song is so beautiful the the dude here is really lovely too! the makeup is beautiful and the lip sync is spot on wow

I rather like to feel that the message of the song and the choice of the person in the video is to remind us that we are what we are, Humanity in all its beautiful, terrible, complicated, ugly, and wondrous glory. We're all stuck in this life together, why spend it at each others throats arguing over meaningless trivia and pointless differences?

So excited for this new album!

I listen to this song daily for 3 years without missing a day, lost my baby daughter exactly the way she sings, with every word, soul slowly dissipating from the body, inside a structure, full of flaws, fearing just because I don't love her when she's gone... i will always love her... you don't know how much this song means to me, thank you, thank you, thank you!

Of Monsters and Men: I of the Storm Of Monsters and Men a little later: I AM THE STORM

Crystals is about letting go of all the pain and suffering after so long. This song is about self doubt, internal pain and emptiness. I appreciate so much that the themes of their new songs encompass these negative feeling themes but are just so beautiful, youthful, heartwarming, appreciative and welcoming.

❇⚫LYRICS⚫❇ If I could face them If I could make amends With all my shadows I'd bow my head And welcome them But I feel it burning Like when the winter wind Stops my breathing Are you really going to love me When I'm gone I fear you won't I fear you don't And it echoes when I breathe Until all you'll see Is my ghost Empty vessel, crooked teeth Wish you could see And they call me under And I'm shaking like a leaf And they call me under And I wither underneath In this storm I am a stranger I am an alien Inside a structure Are you really going to love me When I'm gone With all my thoughts And all my faults I feel it biting I feel it break my skin So uninviting Are you really going to need me When I'm gone I fear you won't I fear you don't And it echoes when I breathe Until all you see is my ghost Empty vessel, crooked teeth Wish you could see And they call me under And I'm shaking like a leaf And they call me under And I wither underneath In this storm I feel it And they call me under And I'm shaking like a leaf And they call me underneath To this storm

I just I love this band so much

Goddamn they're trying to kill me with all their beautiful music.

Of Monsters and Men is one of the most stylish bands out there. The words, the rhythm, the color, the actors, the singers, the directors: they all contribute so much to this. And it really shows in this video. This actor is so beautiful. He is magnificent and talented. You can feel the emotion of the song just being portrayed by him. And the band themselves, they manage to make music so stylish and remind us that it is still an art form, and that it should make us feel.

I don't understand how they can put such raw emotion into a song and video. This is one of the most amazing pieces of music.

Are you really gonna love me when I'm gone? I fear you won't I fear you don't.

Just LOVE LOVE LOVE this band, just adore their music. This song makes me cry every time I hear it

I just cried. As a 33 year old man, I felt pain from so many people engulf me and I am appalled that I am just this week learning these work of art videos exist. Black Water and the grandma made me tear up by beauty, but this... This made me weep in solidarity for my LGBTQ families and our different sufferings. Never have I before felt like I still had so much understanding I needed to give, and comfort I should be providing. Like my soul was caught doing what it knew it it shouldn't and now is overwhelming with gentle guilt and a calling, no, a purpose to exist harder than ever. I wept, and sobbed in my bed because the haunting lyrics and emotion that this person expressed to me was like a soft and divine punishment I couldn't deny, and needed. I feel better for feeling so much.

0:05 My reaction: FABULOUS.

There's so much passion in this performance! I can't get enough!

This song. This video. This was the last video my friend, and mentor, liked on youtube. Around this time 4 months ago he committed suicide. He wasn't some "depressed" teenager, no, he was 23 years old and suffering from mental illness. He was a gamer and was a member of the national guard. He always gave me insights to philosophy and talked with me for hours about everything, from the meaning of life, to how man discovered fire. I miss you man. "Embrace fear, for a man who can look death in the eye, and accept him with a greeting and go with him, has achieved mental greatness." - Tyler Cooper. EDIT: Hello, I am writing this on July 25th, 2021. I want to address some things in this comment I made. The first being that if you are a teenager and, you are experiencing depression, please do not give up hope. I apologize to anyone I may have harmed with my words by saying “‘Depressed’ teenager.” Your life is worth living and I promise you, it does get better. I’ve been through quite a bit in the past 5, almost 6, years and I want people to know that it does get better. I still miss him to this day and I still think about him every day. He still motivates me to think for myself and challenge my previous beliefs. Cooper truly was one of the best people I have had the honor of knowing in my life, and my GOD do I wish he was still around to say hi and have philosophical conversations with me, especially because I am now actually reading philosophy on my own and thinking on my own. I would like to imagine that he would be proud of me and the person I’ve become, but the sad sad fact is that I will never know. I miss him and I miss his smile. I miss him so much. Please, if you are considering taking your own life, do not do it. There are so many people who love you and care for you. Please PM me or reply to this comment if you need someone to talk to. I am always here for anyone. If you would rather talk to someone else then please do not be afraid to reach out. If you are experiencing suicidal thoughts or self harm please call 1-800-273-8255. Help is available and things do get better, I promise. P.S. thank you for everyone’s kind words, they truly do mean a lot

When she said 'are you really gonna love me when I'm gone' I got instant chills. That's how music should be: raw and inspiring.

all of you people out there. youre beautiful.

Who is listening in 2024?

Real people. Real stories. Real music. I love this band.

in most of the videos for this album the performer tends to direct their performance around or away from the camera, then at the end making direct eye contact, which is very powerful, for example in Crystals where at the very end, after the music is all but gone, he looks directly down the lens and for the first time in the video fully opens his eyes, then smiles gently. like, chills every time. here, however, most of the performance is directed at the camera throughout the video, until as the song ends he looks away. this parallels what I think the story of this video is. it's someone who has been cast out/told they're a freak by society finally demanding to be treated as a human. but, as the anger of the moment passes and they begin to reflect on what they said, the shame that they've been conditioned into comes back through and they can't bring themselves to make the eye contact they were so confident in before. also, I'd just like to point out to any that missed it the little head shake and raised shoulders at "I am a stranger, I am an alien," because it's an incredible bit of performance

they never make mistake on picking a person to picture their song

This song defines what some of us face. The feeling of being invisible, yet pointed out for our flaws. Sometimes it hurts so much that vice versa you do feel like turning into a ghost to not face it, with a mourning feeling of no one noticing the accomplishments.... Damn life is difficult at times.

what a beautiful person to accompany a beautiful song

To be honest, the first time i see this video i was surprised, but then the lyrics came it hits me right in my heart, i reach another level of understanding, accepting and embracing the beauty of this person and all people like him, this song is so powerful :')

This actor is just incredible.

This, my friends, perfectly expresses the beauty in each and every one of us.

This song is just too beautiful for me I'm going to cry

Shout-out to the transgender community and the struggles they have to deal with on a daily basis. Stay strong and keep being yourselves, friends.

This made me cry... I could feel my heart stretching out so big listening to this. What a beautiful man, what a beautiful song, what gorgeous feelings conveyed.

the best lyric video that I saw until now! ♥ This video and the Thousand eyes lyric

Sincerely wish I could say I was as excited for Mumford and Sons' new album as I am for Of Monsters and Men's.

This is so beautiful. I am so captivated by it. Gennerally I adore each of the videos with people singing these songs. They are just so powerful. But this is my favorite. It brings me to tears. Amazing. Simply.

They look like they are on the verge of crying, it's so emotional. I love it so much. Both this song and this beautiful person lip syncing it.

The passion this person puts into the performance makes the song even more powerful

I’m an black American male from Georgia and I absolutely love of monster and men!!!!

This music made me cry without me paying atenttion to the lyric, so I came back and start paying atenttion and I saw why it made me cry... It represents exactly how I was when I had depression and almost tried to find answers in suicide. The drag queen singing was so strong, so emotional, so passional, it made me tear up all again. This music is strong for a lot of reasons, and the best lyric video of all Of Monster and Men

but can we just talk about how good is the actor doing im in love

I love this album and these actors/actresses but this person!! This person is very amazing, the emotions they express and the body language they show are very realistic in regards to the lyrics. I love it.

Thank you OMAM.... I LOVE THIS. Lately i've been thinking that i need to not be so deep all the time. But life is DEEP. Life is hard! Life is REAL! Isn't that what makes it great!? This song just encourages me to keep loving who i'm becoming. Knowing that my identity is found in something way bigger than anything we can fathom. Perfect love casts out all fear. 1 John 4:18 There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment..

i'm really upset with the comment section right now... awful how some people are too blind to see the raw emotion and artistic mastery in this song. you guys are saying the video is weird, the actor is ugly, the song is bad, etc... i'm a little disappointed, i think i lost some faith in humanity..

THIS! Both the song AND the performance of the actor. Had it on repeat for the last half hour, and it just gets me more and more every time!

The person they got to act for the video honestly made it so much more resonant than it already was

every time i listen to of monsters and men i cry either because of the lyrics or because of the comments or sometimes both. the comments section under these videos is filled with so many emotions and intimacy, i cant help but feel as vulnerable. i cant believe there are so many wonderful people in the world and i cant believe i get to be a part of it.

Why is this song so addicting I swear

I want to tell him how beautiful he looks in this video. The raw emotion he portrays for this song has me fall in love with it each time.

Fascinating song and video, it makes me feel every word.

Are we not gonna talk about how good the actor was?

If I could find them If I could my money spend On all your albums I would buy My Head And Beneath as well

gotta Love jared Letto in this one!

The beauty, of the person. The melancholy of music that is expressed through him. has rendered me breathless. Oh and I showed my 6yr old son and 5yr old daughter this. I told them this is beauty

This song got me through a very dark time in my life. I went into dka and I had a seizure and vomited at the same time I aspirated. I had a cardiac arrest for 27 minutes twice, during which I had a stroke . I then fell into a coma for 6 weeks on life support and they didn’t think I was going to survive. They called my mom and told her that they were keeping me alive long enough for her to get there. But I didn’t die. I survived and I went to rehab to learn how to walk and talk and eat. I listened to this song on repeat every day and once again, I survived. This song got me through it.

I love his profile and all his expressions.

AMAZING PERFORMANCE THAT HAS KEPT TRUE TO THE LYRICS. BRAVO.....

this song resonates in me, for the fact I am a Trans woman, who has no tie to anyone, family or otherwise. imagine going through the world your entire life have not bond or connection to anyone, and then on top of that being societal outcast. in the end it's the loneliness that breaks you.

I swear that I will never get tired of this video This is one of those videos

Let's take a lesson today to open our mind . Let's accept people just like they are. White , black Asian, Latino, gay, straight bisexual. Transgender. At just a concept. We are souls and spirits travelling in this universe which I call school cause we are here to learn .

🎶 I am a stranger. I am an alien inside a structure. 🎶

Epic words in this, Nana's voice is just beautiful & haunting.

i dont know why but this song hit close to my life... i was scearching for a music for my story i'm telling, and found that randomly, the name of the song was really close to a charachter i know and i decided to play it... i choosed a random part of the song and played it, the first thing i hear is "wish you could see". i can't tell how strong or why i say this but it's the first thing i was thinking when my grandpa died ( i was getting really good at drawing and he was almost blind) i know it sound idiot but if i don't trow that here i will never say it and nobody will ever see this story, i just don't want this to fade away...

the acting for this video is perfection . appears heartfelt, like this song resonated with him ...

i kind of miss the old guy from crystals...

I don't know if I have shivers because of the lyrics or the person or both. Stunning, beautiful and so raw.

Everything about this video (them lip syncing, the song itself, the tone, etc) is so beautiful

His perfomance is amazing. Would love to see him more on screen

for a spanish speaker... the wordplay at "i fear you wont, i fear you dont", is pretty strong and really compelling, its very subtle but has a lot of meaning, maybe for the native speakers feels natural and less powerful, but for me it says a lot... when you say i fear you won't is more like an abstract cold thing, "i reason that you won't, i know, don't pretend otherwise" but when she says i fear you don't its like she is cracking, opening up and saying what it means to her, wich is a lot... also the portraying on the video gives foot to a lot of other interpretations, not just love, maybe a father or a friend that will not miss you and that is the hardest part... sometimes all that you want is at least to be missed with all of those problems that make you human, wich also dont allow you to build sane relationships with those who you care the most

This is the most beautiful and sad song I've ever listened to.

i felt in love with this piece of art, this harmony and of course perfect nana’s voice. but the most emotional thing about this was this man who was acting just perfectly. it touched me and i was crying. love you all guys! peace for everyone!!❤️🙏🏻🏳️‍🌈🤗

I love the fact that they have fans in there videos because I shows just how much they are reaching out to all of us

I got goosebumps!

This is already such a powerful song, but the way that actor portrayed the feelings......man, just....breathless

These lyric videos with people are just absolutely gorgeous!! Real people are beautiful! ❤❤❤

When I listen to this song . Brings back the night . I went to end my life . Lowest point of my life . In such a dark place. I was a failure, as a parent, a husband, a friend. To my self . 6 years ago . This song still makes me cry . And smile at the same time ,because I'm here today . Helping people . There is help , hope and happiness:)

One of the powerful, dynamic, and pertinent songs ever written.

One of the most beautiful videos ever.

Mich holt das extrem ab. Immer wieder. Was für eine emotionale, schauspielerische Leistung. Du hast uns nicht nur auf, sondern auch unter deine Haut gelassen. Großartig und mein Dank dafür.

This song always gives me goosebumps! This is a perfect description of what it's like to have severe anxiety/depression, horrible insecurities and being an addict

What a relatable song... And I like the person OMAM cast for this music video. Their makeup and tattoos are so eye-catching :o It seems to emphasize their dramatic, emotional performance with the lip syncing and everything... Just amazing tbh

This person is so beautiful, so emotive, and so permanently burned into my mind that I see them every time I hear this song even if I'm looking at something completely different.

I don't know if someone will relate to it, but I've been reflecting a lot about several random things during quarentine. I listen to OMAM since they released My Head is an Animal, but somehow it became kinda "invisible" to me how good they are. I mean, I never stopped listening to them at all, but it became something quite automatic or whatever. But now I've got time to go back to some older habits. This, fortunetely, is one of them. This band is awesome in all senses. Lyrically, I've never felt something so deeply, and their melody takes me to some place where I'm away from all chaos and bad things in the world. I literally feel like I'm in icelandic lands, but yet I can see the suffering from others, especially in songs like this. Things that only OMAM can offer. Thank you for existing and for having some of the best fans out there in the music industry, guys. Real people with real hearts, real souls and real humanity. You never cease to amaze me.

MUSIC FROM ANOTHER WORLD! AMAZING!!!!!

I really love this song. And I love the music video too. It's so relative to me revealing my queerness to my mom and my stepdad. They both are Christians and so it was really awkward. This song explains it perfectly. They constantly bug me on how I should be straight, but being queer isn't a choice. The only choice there is the choice to be happy. I'm happy the way I am, but it also hurts knowing that I can't make my family proud because of who I am. I'm proud that I told them, but hurt because they don't support me with this. I really hope it gets better soon, but for now, I'll go on strike by singing this song as loud as I can. ;)

I'm 72....this is perhaps the best performance I have ever seen.

OMAM is and will always be great because it fits in every mold, we can all relate to their music no matter what idiology you have.

This song and also the lyric video really got to me...it relates to me so much and I honestly just want to put this song on repeat and cry my heart out! This is such an incredible and powerful song. Thank you OMAM for this beautiful song!

This is a powerful and deep song. This man fits perfectly the hardship and sadness of not being yourself, to not being loved, to fight so hard to find your place in the world. And the feels, my god!! Sometimes it hurts to remember we all are fragile humans. Thank you OMAM for your music.

OH MY GOD , The guy who mimes the words to this song so POWERFUL brilliant and very Artistic its so easy to give negative comments ,but if i ever met this drag queen , i would just give lots of BIG HUGS for doing such a fantastic job , i hope he can do more tracks for of monsters and men.

this also made me cry (just like crystals). your videos are so powerful and beautiful as well as your music.
