Of Monsters and Men - Little Talks 

This is one of those songs that most people heard in their life but never knew the name of

A moment of silence for those that can’t find the name of this song 😔

An incredible way of saying “don’t be sad, I’ll see you in the next life” Love it

When you haven’t heard it in years it just hits different

This song is the definition of "when you're happy you like the song, when you're sad you understand the lyrics." Holy shit I'm crying

I have the weirdest nostalgic feeling about this song ???

it's already almost June 2024, I want to see how many listen to this wonderful song..

Another one of those songs that unlocks core memories. Man I miss my childhood dude

Damn 9 years later and everyone is still here on this banger.

Let's be honest... RU-vid didn't put this in your recommendations, neither anything brought you here except the pure nostalgia of searching for this song for like almost 8 years and *finally* finding it. Anyone else?

The fact that Avicii used this song as an inspiration for Wake me up is awesome

For those who like to sing along: “I don't like walking around this old and empty house So hold my hand, I'll walk with you my dear The stairs creak as you sleep It's keeping me awake It's the house telling you to close your eyes And some days I can't even dress myself It's killing me to see you this way 'Cause though the truth may vary This ship will carry our bodies safe to shore There's an old voice in my head That's holding me back Well, tell her that I miss our little talks Soon it will be over and buried with our past We used to play outside when we were young And full of life and full of love Some days I don't know if I am wrong or right Your mind is playing tricks on you, my dear 'Cause though the truth may vary This ship will carry our bodies safe to shore Don't listen to a word I say (Hey) The screams all sound the same (Hey) And though the truth may vary This ship will carry our bodies safe to shore You're gone, gone, gone away I watched you disappear All that's left is a ghost of you Now we're torn, torn, torn apart There's nothing we can do Just let me go, we'll meet again soon Now wait, wait, wait for me, please hang around I'll see you when I fall asleep Don't listen to a word I say (Hey) The screams all sound the same (Hey) Though the truth may vary This ship will carry our bodies safe to shore Don't listen to a word I say (Hey) The screams all sound the same (Hey) Though the truth may vary This ship will carry our bodies safe to shore Though the truth may vary This ship will carry our bodies safe to shore Though the truth may vary This ship will carry our bodies safe to shore”

this song hits different now that i actually understand english

Prayers for those who still haven't discovered this song........

Back when I was 12 and first discovered this song along with the music video, it became my entire identity for a few months lol. The depressing lyrics, the visuals, it's perfect 🖤

I went with my girl to their concert in Orlando - Florida like 10 years ago...now she's gone but this song reminds me of her 😢 RIP Candace C. Sowdon 🌹

Well don't we all love a happy upbeat song that's secretly depressing? :')

Finally I found this song, it only took four years

For some reason, at this current time being in my early 20s, the line “ Somedays I can’t even trust myself” stands out so much. I’ve let others influence how I take care of myself and other times I break my own promises for what I thought I could do. All the years I’ve been alive, I’ve noticed it’s the hardest trusting myself.

This brings so much nostalgia BUT THIS VIDEO FEELS LIKE A FEVER DREAM-

This song makes me feel so nostalgic, the lyrics man. They hurt.

It's 2021 and you're still listening to this hit? You are beyond a legend!

May we please have a moment of silence for my Freddie boy? He came to us with Feline AIDS. He outlived his lifespan from early in life with us. Whom he found. My friend suggested this song at the right moment. This kitty deserved so many more than 12 years. 😢

11 years later and the beauty of this music video still brings me to tears

Used to listen with my mom. She passed away recently. This hits hard.

This made my cry thats how nostalgic this song is for me

2024 who’s still loving this tune

I'm leaving this comment because if someone Likes this , I can come back and Listen to this song again :D

This hits different when you found it because you never remember the name of the song

This song feels nostalgic but i have never listened in my whole life

My friend suggested this song as my terminally ill cat was declining to be the “song that bonds us forever.” I already knew it, but as you can imagine, it has a brand new meaning. 😢 I sang it to him earlier tonight. He purred for the last time. He passed away at 9:45. Poor baby was neglected by his first owners and contracted Feline AIDS as a result. He outlived his lifespan with my wife and I. Xox Please wish Freddie a peaceful afterlife. Xox 🥺❤️‍🩹

“Some days I can’t even trust myself” hit home for me. For many years I’ve broken my word by saying I’ll quit my addictions then shortly after lying and deceiving myself. Some fights truly take a life time. Hopefully I can better myself before time and fate consumes me!

My Grandma is about to die of COVID-19 tonight or tomorrow. She has also been suffering from dementia for years. Her husband, 92, will survive her. I cant help but match nearly every lyric in this whole song to their situation. The husband in the song is unable to tell her that he is there for her even though she cant see him. My Grandma didn't see her husband for 7 weeks because of mandatory isolation cause she tested positive. (they were finally re-united briefly in the ICU today once the doctors realized they couldn't save her) Grandma: Some days I can't even trust myself (not remembering who anyone is) Papa: It's killing me to see you this way Grandma: There's an old voice in my head that's holding me back (dementia) Papa: Well tell her that I miss our little talks (when they used to be able to have meaningful conversations) Grandma: Some days I don't know if I am wrong or right (not knowing what she is doing) Papa: Your mind is playing tricks on you, my dear Grandma: Don't listen to a word I say The screams all sound the same Papa: You're gone, gone, gone away (watching her slip into dementia) I watched you disappear (not being able to see her because of iso) All that's left is the ghost of you (their memories of each other) Grandma: Now we're torn, torn, torn apart (missing him in iso) There's nothing we can do (It's over, I'm dying) Just let me go we'll meet again soon (In heaven) Papa: Now wait, wait, wait for me (when he met her today in the ICU) Please hang around (wishing this wasn't his final goodbye) Grandma: I'll see you when I fall asleep Both: Though the truth may vary This ship will carry our bodies safe to shore Goodbye Grandma, we love you. Edit: The doctors told us 24-48 hours was all she had but she held on for 6 days. My grandfather got to visit her quite a few times for a couple of final Little Talks.

This song is like laughing, but it hurts.

Tough truth may vary, this ship will carry on. Thank You for being a part of my journey❤

Does anyone else agree that the upbeat sound of this song comes across as a representation of hope in the face of trauma and carrying on in the face of adversity, actually fitting the tone of the lyrics perfectly because of that?

It's only now that I realized how meaningful is this song. If I didn't misunderstand, this song is about an old widow complaining to her husband's soul and wanna suicide so that she can meet her husband. She said she hates the empty house which made her felt lonely. She felt sad that she can't even dress and didn't know whether she was correct or wrong. However, her husband consoled her, said that it was her brain playing tricks on her. Her husband asked her not to listen to his sound, which was telling her not to suicide. He said they would meet in her dream. So just wait for him, and live happily. Edit: Thank you so much for the likes and replies! Stay safe💖

I accidentally clicked on this. Obviously I know this song but I didn’t know this was the name of the song. I FROZE when the music started playing and started crying. When need to CHERISH this song

This makes me feel things I don't understand. Nostalgia for a world I never knew, longing for a love I've never met, hope in an existence where it makes no sense to be hopeful.

LYRICS I don't like walking around this old and empty house So hold my hand, I'll walk with you my dear The stairs creak as you sleep It's keeping me awake It's the house telling you to close your eyes And some days I can't even dress myself It's killing me to see you this way 'Cause though the truth may vary This ship will carry our bodies safe to shore There's an old voice in my head That's holding me back Well, tell her that I miss our little talks Soon it will be over and buried with our past We used to play outside when we were young And full of life and full of love Some days I don't know if I am wrong or right Your mind is playing tricks on you, my dear 'Cause though the truth may vary This ship will carry our bodies safe to shore Don't listen to a word I say (Hey) The screams all sound the same (Hey) And though the truth may vary This ship will carry our bodies safe to shore You're gone, gone, gone away I watched you disappear All that's left is a ghost of you Now we're torn, torn, torn apart There's nothing we can do Just let me go, we'll meet again soon Now wait, wait, wait for me, please hang around I'll see you when I fall asleep Don't listen to a word I say (Hey) The screams all sound the same (Hey) Though the truth may vary This ship will carry our bodies safe to shore Don't listen to a word I say (Hey) The screams all sound the same (Hey) Though the truth may vary This ship will carry our bodies safe to shore Though the truth may vary This ship will carry our bodies safe to shore Though the truth may vary This ship will carry our bodies safe to shore

I just saw a TikTok that was talking about the meaning of this song, and now the song just hits differently. (Basically, it is supposedly about a wife talking to her passed away husband, and how much she misses him.) I would of course look it up and do more research if you truly care, but I just thought it was sad. I also was about 7 when this song came out, so no I didn't decipher the meaning... *I never post comments on RU-vid, and I also didn't realize you could check replies until now. Wtf did not mean to get so much attention from this comment. Also, to clear up some people's confusion. I was in no way saying that the TikTok had the correct meaning or interpretation. It is my mistake for assuming. :)

“Sometimes you will never know the value of a moment until it becomes a memory.”

I went to Iceland for first time. Over there I went to music Museum where I listened to this song for first time. Afterwards, I love this song ❤

The journey of this video always made me cry. no matter what comes your way ! there’s nothing you can’t bare to get where you need to be!!!

My husband and I used to listen to this song and dance in our kitchen. Now when I hear it I always smile. He's been gone a year today and when this song came on automatically I knew it was him telling me to dance for us and that he loves me.

It took me eight years to figure out it said “this *ship* will carry our bodies safe to shore.” Omg

God, I can't live without music..

Memories of 12/22/2012 I was aimlessly lost in thought with every passing second dragging me down... Though memories are consumed by time, and emotions are constantly fading away with all the worries and pain. but this song and rest has stayed with me and never to depart. Thank you OMAM.

Can we all appreciate the effort and insane creativity that went into this amazing music video?

The nostalgia this gives off is crazy good.

It's just beautiful that the lyrics is actually 2 people talking to each other. The song really helped me when I was in a dark place.

Coming back to this song 9 - 10 years later made my heart feel so lightened with nostalgia. ❤ Hope this song never goes away.

I swear half of these views are from everyone coming back to this song throughout the years

One of my childhood's biggest mystery in music melody finally found.

this the typa of song your mom would play on the car radio after she picks you up from elementary school in the early 2010's, just me?

This is the only song that makes me cry every single time I hear it. It's a masterpiece. Beautifully written and sung, it pierces my soul in ways I couldn't even explain in words. Thank you for this piece of art, Of Monsters and Men. This song gives me solace in this world full of pain.

IT TOOK ME 4 YEARS TO FIND THIS SONG.... IT FUCKIN HAUNTED ME SO MUCH AND NOW I FINALLY FOUND IT OMG. I BELIEVE I DESERVE A ROUND OF APPLAUSE

*Me trying to mind my business* My brain: *Aight we nostalgic foe today*

Shout to everyone that comes back to these oldies to remember a bit of who they used to be. It’ll all be okay, just keep pushing, you get there

september 2020? im never gonna get over this song .... its June 2021 the pandemic is almost over still not over this (tnx for the likes)

2012 was a different time, damn I'm so nostalgic

This song is like wine, the older it gets the better it is.

Me and my friend used to listen to this song every time we saw each other, and now she's gone. I miss her so much, and I miss our 'little talks'. Or even just each others presence. we'd just sit with each other and do our own things, but now I realise how much I miss it, just being around her. You really take things for granted when they're right there.

The NOSTALGIA. I heard this when i was a young carefree kid, with no responsabilities on my shoulders.. Now i'm a young adult filled with work and problems. Man time does sure fly.

Coming back to this song 11 years after it came out and it’s still one of my favorites

Back when I felt the magic of life.

I can understand my parents now. That feel when you hear the old songs is just unexplainable...

Hey! Hey! Hey! I don't like walking around this old and empty house So hold my hand, I'll walk with you my dear The stairs creak as I sleep, It's keeping me awake It's the house telling you to close your eyes And some days I can't even trust myself It's killing me to see you this way 'Cause though the truth may vary This ship will carry our bodies safe to shore Hey! Hey! Hey! There's an old voice in my head That's holding me back Well tell her that I miss our little talks Soon it will all be over, and buried with our past We used to play outside when we were young And full of life and full of love Some days I don't know if I am wrong or right. Your mind is playing tricks on you my dear 'Cause though the truth may vary This ship will carry our bodies safe to shore Hey! Don't listen to a word I say Hey! The screams all sound the same Hey! Though the truth may vary This ship will carry our bodies safe to shore You're gone, gone, gone away, I watched you disappear All that's left is a ghost of you Now we're torn, torn, torn apart, there's nothing we can do, Just let me go, we'll meet again soon Now wait, wait, wait for me, please hang around I'll see you when I fall asleep Hey! Don't listen to a word I say Hey! The screams all sound the same Hey! Though the truth may vary this ship will carry our bodies safe to shore Hey! Don't listen to a word I say Hey! The screams all sound the same Hey! Though the truth may vary This ship will carry our bodies safe to shore Though the truth may vary This ship will carry our bodies safe to shore Though the truth may vary This ship will carry our bodies safe to shore

12 years later and its still fire🔥🔥💯💯🥶🥶

coming back to this song. Used to hear it on the radio as a kid and occasionally here and there but i never really sat down, listened and read the lyrics and understood the song. Its wonderful what kind of emotions you can feel from the same song throughout your life understanding new parts and new definitions of each part every time you come back. You're Doing great i promise

When you memorized the lyrics of this song in the supermarket when you're a kid and you don't even know the title of the song...

This song is making me feel happy and sad at the same time. I love this.

I'm late to the party with discovering this band. Only learned about them this year. But now that I know of them, they quickly catapulted to my top 5 all time favorite groups.

I remember hearing this a lot on the radio back when I was a kid I was only nine years old. Or sometimes when I will go to the grocery store, I hear this song I just vibe to it even if I didn’t understand the lyrics know as an adult I listen to these lyrics and they hit now . i’m not even gonna sugarcoat it back when I was a kid shit wasn’t easy it wasn’t simple. I had to deal a lot troubled, home life, shitty parents, domestic violence, etc.. The only thing that got me through it. The only thing that I consider my safe haven, or whatever was the music that I heard on the radio that got me through it all that was the only comfort and this song is one of them. I’m never gonna forget it.

I came back for nostalgia and only now I realize this song is literally so sad Lmao

Look how the comment section is still alive after 9 years.

Tommorow 12 years of this song. Time is running.

When you’re happy, you like this song, when you’re sad you understand the lyrics. ❤️

Is it just me or this song brings back a weird king of nostalgia

One of those songs that make you feel good and down at the same time.

Hermosa canción hermosas voces gracias 🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷

I am Japanese. I heard it about 5 years ago, and then I forgot the title, so I kept looking for it and finally found it! I might not be able to express myself well because I can't speak English without relying on Google Translate, but I love this song so much!

this song hits different when youre struggling with abandonment issues, anger issues and all of people you care about had left you

the synchronization of the guys walking & the creatures saying “hey” to the song is just so satisfying

The video is so unique, I love it. Gives me Smashing Pumpkins "Tonight, Tonight" vibes. ❤

My friend died around the time i heard this song. Of monsters and men will always be associated with my friend Phil.

IVE BEEN LOOKING FOR THIS SONG FOR LITERALLY SO LONG. I FINALLY FOUND IT YAY

mann when i was a child i never noticed how deep this song actually is :(

This Banger was released 12 years ago and i still listen to it because it just hits.

To everyone that's going through hard times, Days will get better I promise you. I love every single people that lives on earth 🌎❤

I lost my son in September and for some reason this song popped in my head for no apparent reason when I woke up this morning and after watching this and hearing the lyrics, it hit me HARD!!! RIP Jacob, I miss you more than words will ever say.

i honestly don't know if this song takes away your depression or gives you depression. but, it's a beautiful song and it brings back so many memories.

This is one of those few times for me where it _isn't_ difficult to believe that it's already been 12 years. This song - and the music video much more so - is PURE nostalgia for me. It's still wonderful and wonderfully weird, and the song still absolutely slaps. Love it to bits.

I love this group! I really feel like I'm in touch more with my Irish roots! My favorite song by them! ♥️

10 years later and it's still a masterpiece

who is listening to this fantastic song in 2020/2021?

Wow. I have listened to this song, but to see the video. Wow ..another level. It is soooo creative. Magical, incredible, beautiful, just brilliant. Well done to Of Monsters and Men.

You have no idea how long it took me to find this song, so damn glad i finally did

Imagine a game with this artstyle and soundtrack...
