Of Monsters and Men - King And Lionheart (Official Video)

"The monsters and bad guys - they could be negative emotions that appeared after her brother left or, a way to show how the world felt "evil" after she split up with her brother or, just be there as characters in that fantasy world." Umm how bout they could represent the fricken heartless parents that ripped apart siblings(half or not) is what i thought when i heard about this story years ago. Back when the top of the comments had the poor couple who lost a child to a heart defect. I'm not sure how comments work on RU-vid but who the hell wants to knock that story down a peg?

Thank you... I felt the feelings, but didn't ever know how real those emotions were to the songwriter. Ouch.

😭😭😭😭

Such a sad topic :(. My heart goes out to Ms. Nanna. I have had similar struggles with my divorce and with my relationship with my children. I cannot pretend to understand what it feels like to be separated from a sibling. My children were my life, and when I choose to give up custody of them, it broke something inside of me (soz for venting). There is a saying that your sibling/s is the person that you will know the longest in your life. I choose to move away from my family of origin and am now living back with them to take care of my parents. I am now getting to know my brother after being gone for over 20 years, and we are very different people. My hope for you is that you are able to continue being you. My prayer for you is that you be the best you that you can be, and my wish for you is that if you ever meet your brother, you treat him with love, kindness, and respect. And you have one of the most amazing voices I have ever heard :)

Forgive joker

both crying and feeling brave hahaha

The power to belong when the everything says you don't. An old concept that still holds true.

I can see that. Depending where you're at in life, it can bring up a different emotion every time.

I won't hesitate to follow you into battle

Same to you 💜🌍

You too 💜

and so do I

Indeed... Survivors.

one question....how did you get a Quote from that long ago?!

That's kinda sexist ngl

Its only our left brain that makes distinctions, Our heart has proven to have braincells and thinks for itself yes, but the heart does not see good or bad, only love. Merlin apparantly a good sorceror not a good anatomist.

@@charedits333 Oh boy are you in for a surprise when you read poems. 'men' here is used to address both sexes. Just the way 'mankind' is used. The sexism here only exists in your deluded imagination.

@@terrybeckett2512 I know men can be used for all sexes but that one sounded like they actually mean men

You did it justice and we feel it.So different - and non-commercial - it hits home hard.Shows super imagination and creativity - I going to experience it again now.Hope to see more of this work.

K so here is the rub I have now been up to date with Icelandic music for a while now though bjork jonsi/Alex now of monsters and men I can say I personally know descendants from Iceland I know that they have few things to fill their time and music and art are in abundance their I love and respect their culture and would love to just sit and talk to them!!!

Love this quote shared, my son has Autism and requires high support and he LOVES OMAM. His little sister loves him so very fiercely, and this video makes me bawl nothing else, because its a visualization of their bond!!!

Mythicalthings m

666th like 😮

I NEED TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENDED

@@zuba-chan9561 I like to think that little kids spirit animal grows up and becomes Dirty Paws and they both come back to save his sister.

Yes, very true.

@@heylookitsviet I believe that the woman gained powers and crash landed in little talks because she was chasing after his brother (or son) that was also going to another planet in the end of King and Lionheart. She then encounters the 5 men which she goes on a journey with. She then finds a monster which she didn't kill because she knew that was his brother (or son), you can tell because she was happy to see him and she didn't kill it off.

but this song is about her brother, most of people know about it. if you check the lyrics, she is telling about the folklore you can hear in Iceland, in the same time, you can notice she misses him and even far away, she won't leave or forget him

Well you picked a great song to dedicate to your son. Sorry for your loss.

Él siempre será tu rey y tu su corazón de león.

What an amazing angel you have with you and to be with.

God bless you and your son, you have a beautiful soul🕊

I'm really sorry 😞 to hear you had lost your son... may his soul rest in peace 🙏 🪦..

I would call it a light jog ☝️😌

***** Lol.

MarshyButterfly "And we won't lightly jog,And we won't lightly jog?

OMFG lol

+MarshyButterfly lol

i know right

Well you must have a legendary childhood, to this day some people havent found this song yet lmao yet when they hear it, it brings back their child hood. Thats what a great song can do haha

but this came out only 7 years ago damn im old

@@qtkf69 aqaaqqaqqqq

Iittle talks was a flash back tbh. Found that a few months ago and was like ah thats what this was called.

Yep me too, funny thing is I didn't know this band's name but I knew their songs. Was a pain in the ass trying to find them with only a handful of lyrics in your head.

Kinda close. Nana's parents divorced and her mom took her little brother to Canada, which was really painful for them. I'm pretty sure that what the song is about.

wtf they got divorced? were they married?

Pinkiepyro1 Lol no. After their parents divorced, they were separated. Incest is not Wincest

ZippyZiggyfy ;)

dude just become an english teacher

True❤

Same.....and it is 2024. Heard it back in the day , still applicable to this day. ❤️‍🩹

@@helenadavies5674 yesss

Yeah! 😔 Btw they meet again in 'Little Talks'.

@@Excalibar_752 WAIT THEY ARE CONNECTED? OK, THIS BAND IS FUCKING GENIUS

@@jpbdude4223 Yup. ☺

Nostalgia?

I know what you feel, i feel it with other songs. :)

Me too when I'm still a kid when everything was easy and full of joy😢

That's because you were listening to it while in an emotional situation and that emotion is triggered by this song.

+Ben Gascon it was just 3 years ago..

la gente

Haha lionart haha I'll show myself out.

This band is just remarkable.

@@sumitmhatre8419 No, stay, it was funny.

fuck yeah

2023. How we feeling

June 9 2023

Still true! Such a timeless ballad.

Update 2023

Bailey Dean I know right? They need a second part to this song

Bailey Dean not all stories have an happy ending... welcome to the real world...

Richard Carlson Reminds of a line from a movie I like.

Bailey Dean I think the girl is the rainbow one in little talk and the boy is the monster since the monster's forehead statue is the same design as the rocket he gets trapped on

The song was based off of the lead singer and her brother. Who she never met. It’s sad but it’s basically her story of losing her brother :(

Ronnie James Dio love this song

One of my favorites but gotta say little talks still holds my number one spot

Ronnie James Dio me

Cole Hanson same

This is my favourite band

Hugs to you Kelli

I’m so sorry for your loss, and I’m glad this song gives you some comfort

Sorry for your loss.The holidays are the hardest for me too😭

I'm sorry for your lost 😔...

Wish he speaks to your heart

I feel the same

8 million views, clearly not the proper credit, such a good song though

They do make some really good video

i love their videos.

Sarah Kent I agree with you.

mac ss same as me

Amirul Ramadhan omg same

I came here after having watched all of The Lumineers’ video on RU-vid wow

No lie I just started watching this right after a Lumineers binge what the actual fuck!!

vanishingeffect same af

keep going, we can all face it together :)

Wow.

That's not at all what either of those songs are about but ok-

I hope you're doing well now.. I was 14 at that time too and life was shit .. Thank God life is much better for me now

Same. :/

I am currently recovering from a suicidal attempt and my best friend sent me this❤️ -thanks to all the people who stood with me and kept me safe -and to those ppl that made me like this I hope y’all change

Would you expect anything less?

lol

I don't understand the ending

Where did you get this answer?

Trigger me? Lol, no. I was honestly wondering is this was the interpretation for the video. I didn’t even take men as men anyways, I took it as people.

I remember that scene now. Genius.

What do you mean cosumed by it, how?

I always thought it was a play on the title of the book of mice and men, but this interpretation kinda means the same thing

watch merlin

They are from Iceland after all

me too!

thaanks a loooot............was looking for NEW music right now.....

+ariel stocco i know right.......... it give me weird feel it call G something and it give me too much and it my first time saw that and am in love....... how.......i am deaf and love listen to song but this video make me feel sad and need to know that no matter how u hate or love your family they are your family.......... help me.... and i am crying.............

+Ben Moran I really feel for you☺

Aneeza Arfeen is that a song or a messege for ben moran?

yes LITERALLY this ^^^

omg. i listened to this song so many years ago, forgot about it, then remembered it finally today and listened to it again. it’s so funny you said that

Dirty paws is top tier too : )

but the song rocks!!

Charles Ferris how is the video sad

jill mont the kid gets separated from his mother forever!!

minecraftmayhem 67 that's his sister not mother

minecraftmayhem 67 and thx I thought she reunited or something with him

i think her/his sister......... im not sure if hes a boy xD

Norvin Mark Cabasag it's a sister and a brother haha

Adrian Jones same :(

" Don't mind me crying me eyes out in this corner over here "..

communistjesus

Yes. Yes you did.

Welcome to the enlightened friend 😊

You certainly did :)

yes

Without a doubt

me :,(

+rusne pakalniskyte me 2 T_T

me:(

That's boring

+Joshua Branquinho you boring

If he were making a side scroller video game.

Jackson Shanahan and he wasn't tim burton. I think it looks not even remotely like a tim burton film :\ the color palette maybe but the art style no way

Micah Murray i was thinking the same thing!

Micah Murray The responses... "Hey I see you have an opinion but, YOU'RE COMPLETELY FUCKING WRONG!!!"

Turnt Rollins RU-vid comments in a nutshell.

thats nice!!!

You're what, 16, 17? Listen to it again. It still bops.

You have good taste, and a true heart.

Now ur 17 come back listen 😊

I looked into that recently because it's been getting on my nerves, too. Turns out it's some new crap that RU-vid is doing--- often against the wishes of the video-owner--- but no one can figure out exactly why.

@@InAHollowTree Probably something to do with how toxic people in comment sections can be. We come to listen to music, not be bullied by armchair warriors.

Dustin Hersel I’m sorry about the beautful dara. You might find this hard to believe but the dead will live again. Search more information on jw.org. It has helped me to be hopeful about many I lost in death.

Sorry to hear and condolences... my cousin died at the age of 39 because of a massive heart attack

May the souls of all your loved ones rest in peace folks 🙏🏼

sending my love, ik how hard it is. she is in a much better place and you will see her again one day.

well i guess she had a lionheart

Valid

Thank You For The Venom Yep. And if you go to their site you can see the making of the video and learn that it was inspired by the female vocalist having a sibling but not able to see them very much and missing them.

Oh, didn't know that, thanks.

+Thank You For The Venom Could be that the rocket was him being extracted from the war-torn area, leaving the sister behind.

+Comrade Silly Otter Yeah, that's a possibility. And more believable

What is the art even what is what in translation

same

SSI (Self-Sustained Insanity) 😂😂😂😂 who knows?!

Taik Limma j

It is not art stupid Taik

It sure would make a good sci-fi movie, that's for sure!

especially with a cool drop off like that one. Big question I ask A LOT: WHAT HAPPENS IN THE END l:D I wanted to see what happened in the end...

Little Talks is the sequel :D

Its not sci fi its fantasy

it's a mix of the 2

no one fucking knows they just do

+meera nepal I have a theory: abandon the idea of a certain band member with a prolific ability to write tunes. In my somewhat cynical view of the world I think it may involve a fancy musical note algorithm ran on a bank of supercomputers inputting sounds to a bank of disembodied human brains. The real genius to the whole diabolical scheme is to accurately track higher levels of dopamine in the brains(disembodied and all) when a favorable note sequence is found. They say imitation is they highest form of flattery. I disagree I think being compared to the diabolical schemes fueled by corporate greed is the highest. :-P

Did you NEED to cuss? Is that mandatory?

JesusGodHolySpirit3 Yes.

JesusGodHolySpirit3 rofl

JesusGodHolySpirit3 also, fuck you

JesusGodHolySpirit3 Did you NEED to ask if Courtney NEEDED to cuss? Is that not indicative of your nature to peacock your 'higher' standards onto other people? Welcome to the internet, where doctrines come to die.

Joan you are not far away by buddhalike 4asian tiger and west they live in my heart sorry for my evil deeds

So thats the beauty of music though right? You personalize it when you dig a song.

Gouranga56 I guess for some folks it is. I don’t relate to music that way. I usually try and take it as is, or find what the artist was going for. Rarely ever does it feel like a song i some how pertinent to my personal life. Maybe thats just me 🤷‍♂️

@@Hellgrinde and that's ok! lol.

Honestly some songs have the saddest comment section

Exactly. People keep commenting their woes as if somebody reading the comments care...

Yeah I see that, I just think of me and my sister and how awful it would be if we were torn apart and that's what makes the song so emotional for me

Imogen Hansen same

Yeaaaahhh! Same!

Emily Caballero yas

I loved Narnia. It really reminds me of this song

AAARRRMMMYYY

I was in middle school in 2000. time flies. Enjoy it!

i come from 30762 :P

Wow your mom sounds awsome

You have an amazing mom

That's beautiful

@@woodlanddove I'm glad my words got across to someone😅

try "inside"

Carrot Eater Play Ori and the Blind Forest.

I'm on it

yeah imagine that

It kind of reminds me of the last guardian, I'd start there.

You came from the video also, I've been looking for a merthur comment for ages

I WAS THINKING THE EXACT SAME THING! This song is so perfect for them fr

I'm just watching merlin now and definitely this is how i see Arthur and merlins relationship 💝💝 and to top off If you watch little talks video Its the same story

i didn't expect to see a merlin fan on this comment section but here we are, and i'm glad

I agree. Just perfect for their relationship

Yeah, you and me both.

Your old favorite band is demanding visitation rights to see the kids and half of your music collection

+rurutu M, haha.

+rurutu M lmfao

they are awsome

You will Soon

#weddingdance

Still waiting for this kind of love

Wax Clone it doesn’t have to be romance. It can be pure frentship. Even mom to daughter. Sister brother son but also I hope you find love romance kind

Someday you WILL find love

lol

ily

+Thomas Dalzell looool

+Thomas Dalzell thats perfect in this context

lol...

Kim McElroy brilliant

Kim McElroy yeah there's a story going on here

JUST A THOUGHT!? NO NO ITS A THEORY :DD SUPPORTED BY US!

Kim McElroy Holyshit this theory made me nut 😴

imagine it's just a story of travelling with family and you leave some behind, or could just be a music vid that has a totally spiritual meaning and we are all looking for lion hearts and little talks regardless maybe people have mountain's to climb and some of is have dirty paws

We are here with you Tatakai❤

You helped. A lot. Thank you.

***** Thanks so much, it's funny because IRL I stutter and misuse words. xD Funny how things work

Luke Ham No problem, it's why I'm here.

This comment is so meaningful ;u;

Rachel Graves Theheh, thanks

@@Nomadical Yeah, she's the woman in little talks (at least that's how I see it!)

Kayla Varady no it doesn’t 😂 I was thinking the same but more times I see both videos I become more confused so

I agree but I think that they are brother and sister

@@lenaevergold6622 same

Wow amazing theory and make sense

Flexan 22 I know that you will se her again. That's how love works.
