- Iceland has a long tradition of Nordic myths and folk tales, many involving spirits and animals transforming themselves into people. So, it's not too surprising that a band like Of Monsters and Men would call their debut album, "My Head is an Animal," and create a song like "Dirty Paws," about an epic battle between the birds and the bees and a four-pawed beast that saves the day.
What's impressive is that they pull it off in a way that appeals to fellow Icelanders and to an international audience. It's quirky stuff with a campfire feel, but it also has an edge and an exuberant energy that recalls some of their favorite bands and singers from Mumford and Sons to Feist.
Where do their songs come from? "The wind whispers to us," says Nanna Bryndis Hilmarsdottir, the co-lead singer and guitarist. "Iceland is a magical place and all that cold and rain keeps us indoors where we can write."

Brynjar Leifsson, guitar
Arnar Rósenkranz Hilmarsson, drums
Árni Guðjónsson, accordion

I love this group..... I'm 75 y/o and will follow Monsters And Men until I take that last great slid in the dirt.
William Roemer You the man, William! I'm 69 and will be in the dirt right after you.
William Roemer Just a testament to how important music is! It knows no boundaries!
+William Roemer haha you're awesome dude
I love it that you love it even though you are 75- keep moving Will
i am 36 have only just heard of them a few months ago and i will listen until the day i die
You know an artist is legit when they sound better live.
So right
I'm praying they get back to Heaven!
Can we all just take a moment and appreciate the trumpet girls because in all live music videos they have done she really enjoys herself, feeling the music, closing her eyes and sounding awesome !!!
eminemfan I just started watching this beautiful group last night 💕🥰👱🏼♀️👬
For sure , she is fantastic... I have loved this group since their beginning.. I'm Old too... LOL, I will enjoy everything they do ...
She is by far the best part of the group!
I'm praying they get back to Heaven!
Simply fell in love with her.
They go "hey" better than any group ever....."Hey"
Really good hey
I'm praying they get back to Heaven!
Now this is real music. Two beautiful voices working together to create a master piece, no autotune, no product placement. Wish all modern music was actually like this.
I'm praying they get back to Heaven!
This just makes me wish I had friends who played instruments.
Everyone in that room is just straight vibeing, I love it.
The trailer of "Secret life of Walter Mitty" introduced me to this song and until I still listen to it. What a beautiful song.
Walter MItty introduced me to Of Monsters And Men and I will be eternally grateful for that
Me Too, LOVE THIs song!
Don't love a song.. LOVE THE BAND
And what a beautiful movie
Of monsters and man introduced you to the secret life of walter mitty
I love how varied in age we all are here, music truly is a force that brings us all together regardless of age, race, or creed. :)
Sam left the Night's Watch to sing
lol
good joke bro it was great 3 years ago on their youtube videos. Come up with your own shit you twit.
My VANT detected your butthurt
What happened to gilly tho that girl singer is cute and all but looks nothing like gilly
You can just see how much they love playing together and the admiration they have for each other 😍😍
I love them too and I’m 77. !
I cant get enough of her!
Their live performances are always great. And i really love their song. nanna and raggi voice are just so perfect as usual and Arnar is just so attractive 😭❤️
The more I learn about these folks, the more I like them.
This song has a little magic in it.
The accordian guy is absolutely adorable ;)
how come this is always my favorite part of this song 2:59
One of the few times in the song they do harmonies instead of octaves of the same notes. Sounds amazing
I'm praying they get back to Heaven!
This is like love at first sight, you don't have to hear it a few times till you figure that you love it.
I'm praying they get back to Heaven!
The bass player is so chill haha
Nanna is so adorable.
this is the best song i've ever heard. Seriously , i can't stop listening and singing ..
You need to get out more. Maybe we could do dinner. Do you like old fat men??
no bich
T. Dana how about young fat men?
Looks dont matter its heart
go away
Theres two types of songs i like. the songs i think are good and i can dance and sing along a little to but then theres songs like this... these are no other words than AMAZING. These songs are songs that when i listen to them, i get so "Lost" in the music i cant think to dance or bob my head to the music or sing along. I literally love this song.
so much fun being one of them
Awesome group. U will be us always. 👍
I just want to say thank you.
You don't see live music like this anymore.
It's really really good.
Jwelthag I feel you. Seen em 5 times. I wish they would do something a little different live. But there's something to be said about a band that can replicate what's on their album almost perfectly.
Uhhh.... i see live music like this all the time.... you just need to go to venues when bands are booked to play there.
check this channel ua-cam.com/video/IYrR5HMNe2A/v-deo.html
real life music ;) just for fun ahah
Well, you do if you go to see artists live
They are so humble and nice in person. I love them. Too much talent.
Wunderschön !!!! Fantastisch !!!!
The emotion of this song is so powerful.
I love this song, now more than ever BECAUSE HE PLAYS LEFT HANDED, HALLELUJAH, I'M NOT ALONE
I'm praying they get back to Heaven!
Nanna is so busy being her that she forgets how utterly Unprecedented she is😍
It has a soulful feel. Such sorrow
I don't know but this song gets me choked up...I always picture Dirty Paws as a rabbit
ME TOO!
These guys are brilliant! There talented, down to earth, dignified, friendly, humble and amazing live. There is no other band like them and no others which I respect more.
... Lumineers?
Yes they seem nice and I like what they make but I can't say I know them much.
I love their music and singing.. I also love her and the trumpet girl !!! I have seen & heard much music in my life and this group is on my top 10 in my lifetime...
Brilliant guys! Have no words.
I absolutely love this song.
What was really great is listening to this gives a real appreciation for the production quality of the recording.
I feel like I could have been sitting there instead of the camera. I wish I was there.
Jumping up and down the floor,
My head is an animal.
And once there was an animal,
It had a son that mowed the lawn.
The son was an OK guy,
They had a pet dragonfly.
The dragonfly it ran away,
But it came back with a story to say.
Her dirty paws and furry coat,
She ran down the forest slopes.
The forest of talking trees,
They used to sing about the birds and the bees.
The bees had declared a war,
The sky wasn't big enough for them all.
The birds, they got help from below,
From dirty paws and the creatures of snow.
So for a while things were cold,
They were scared down in their holes.
The forest that once was green
Was colored black by those killing machines.
But she and her furry friends
Took down the queen bee and her men.
And that's how the story goes,
The story of the beast with those four dirty paws.
I'm praying they get back to Heaven!
Never knew Hawkeye could play the bass too
Oh my i just realised. Now thats why i found him looks familiar
I LOVE OF MONSTERS AND MEN!!
that dual voice is actually kick ass
I don't what it is but there's something unique and special about this band. It seems like they put their soul into every single one of their song and they seem so humble and modest. Just awesome
anyone listening in 2020?
Nice song!!!!!!!!!!!
The best band ❤❤❤
Even better: He plays a Lefty guitar. I always get so happy when I see another person that managed to deal with annoying store reps or uninformed classical teachers that tried to change how you live your life without a good reason.
I'm praying they get back to Heaven!
Words can't describe how amazing this is
Lots and lots of love from Kerala India ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
My 7 yr old daughter is addicted your story!
They all just look like they are having a great time playing music, I love that happy vibe.
I'm praying they get back to Heaven!
i really LOVE it when you listen to a song and you just CAN'T get it out of your head!! Robert Morris - Na Na Na is also EXACTLY that kind of simple, freaking catchy song that sticks with you whether you want it or not
They do great stuff! I am amazed & in awe with how they can harmonize 4 accoustic guitars, drum, accordion, & trumpet! Absolutley beautiful!
My FAVORITE band since first hearing them 5-months ago! Can't get enough of listening to them play!
There just as good live! I found out about OMAM when their song "Little Talks" got popular and I heard it on the radio, but I love this song the most out of all of theirs. This should have been the one that got big, but then again I like having it to myself. It's so relaxing.
AUSTRALIA LOVES YOU OMAM (or at least I do, but I'm sure I can count for all of Australia)
That's not what I expected the two singers to look like.
Me too
I thought that
Id hit it
What are they supposed to look like ? Not been out in public much aye ? Been to a music festival before ? I've seen every size, height, male, female, skin color, you name it.
At this point from Neil young to Jerry Garcia to john popper to gene simmons to this Icelandic male to what have you...
I've seen all sorts of singers lol
At this point lead singers = dont have a type. Lol esp when music is being made in all 4 corners
Besides, lol who really cares what a musician looks like fat, skinny, Chubby, anorexic, tall, short, giant, midget lol 80% of rock stars have or were or are high functioning drug addicts and alcoholics
At this point nothing should surprise you. Unless your young heh
michael stillwell Weird flex but ok. Chill out mate. He was just saying that they don’t like what he expected lol...
What a wonderful group! They work great together. Amazing. I am 61 and I can't get enough of their music.
Good taste in music brought me here. Walter mitty just made me wanna come back and listen to this song more.
So...do all women from Iceland look like Bjork?
moebiscuits It's a country with 300,000 people more or less. Guess all of them are relatives, and maybe Bjork is like a queen bee there
So they are all beautiful
@@ZoroHayoung yup
Bjork suffered a bit of singled out robbing as a youth because she didn’t look like a typical Icelandic person. Like most Scandinavians many more than average blonde haired people live in Iceland. Blue eyes are the most common in Northern Europe as well. Bjork Gudmundsdottir has blue green eyes so she really is not far outside the Scandinavian norm.
0:40 The dragonfly ran away, but it came back with a story to say.
Hey!
I loved the trumpet girl!
I love Nanna.. That voice...
all of their songs are the best omg
¡ Que talento, un espectáculo como cantan !.
its great that two voices like theirs found each other.....their music is awesome
When this came out it was a special time in my life, I’m here with a little help from these guys 🇦🇺❤️
Cadê os brasileiros com bom gosto??
Estamos aqui :P
Aqui ;-)
Aqui❤
Calma que tem alguns pra salvar a patria! ahuahua
Aquiii S2
Eles sāo bons demais!!! Como.eu AMO!!! ♡♡♡
I discovered this group with this song, I bought their CD's afterwards (yes, I know, nobody buys cd's nowadays, but I'm a nostalgic 54 years old woman...😊) . it's still my favorite song. I like songs that tell good stories. ❤ From Belgium.
I miss you Elf ! I got to see Nanna in Denver. Hope to see you all soon.
this song is fucking perfect omg! 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Luanna Batista ikr
I'm praying they get back to Heaven!
Shes actually so pretty!
Im so jealous:(
Real music always comes in a group .
Just listen to this song for the first time yesterday, ahhh it's so beautiful, and that trumpet part=D just amazing!!
this is stunning!greetings from Greece guys!
I love this so much :'D
wonderful song, wonderful music, wonderful lyrics.....has it sll.
their voices are as magical as their songs! much love
WALTER MITTY!!!!!!!
I think that this is the best song ever and that people should stop listening to stupid songs of pop and should start listening to good music like Of monsters and men. Theirs only one band and that's OF MONSTERS AND MEN :) !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
xX_Isa Cat_xX Listen to Mumford and Sons and the Lumineers.
What about Metallica? You know, "MASTER OF PUPPETS IS PULLING YOUR STRINGS!"
JesseJump first of all, fellow metallica fan , this cheesy attitude is why no one listens to metal these days
Second of all, let people listen to what they want
You enjoy the music if you want
I'm glad this is even a minor hit. Such a weird rad song.
Aren't they cute? And their originality is a breath of fresh air. I'm looking forward to buying their next cd.
Bass player looks like Hawkeye :D
jumping up and down the floor
My head, is an animal (please continue)
And once there was an animal
It had a son that mowed the lawn.
The son was an ok guy
It had a pet, dragonfly
Brings a tear to my eyes, been to Iceland several times and Monsters of Men just tear up good moments... Got to love this!!!
I love this guys! They've achieved to put a beautiful feeling in this song and the love with they play the song. Wow...
omgg its sam tali from game of thrones hahahahahaa
+D.Numesh HAHAHAAHHAHHAHA :D
+D.Numesh It's funny that you say that, because Of Monsters and Men is going to have a cameo role in season 6 of Game of Thrones.
2:20 ..and Clint Barton from Avengers haha
the girl reminds me of bjork omg
ikr!
seriously before i really knew who either of them were (uneducated tweenager days), i thought they were the same person. awkward...
Claire N. Haha i can see why you would think that, they look ridiculously similar!
Claire N. She does have a similar tonal quality/frequency has Bjork. She looks a little bit like her, but not quite. They are both Icelandic. So the accent on English words is similar. But Nanna has the staccato quality in her singing. Bjork has that ability but has allot more expertise and styles then Nanna. I like them both though.
One of my favorite songs from these guys.
Amazing breathtaking song with such great lyrics to match their crisp clean beautiful voice, in other I utterly and completely love this song
Ben Stiller brought me here
I'm not being mean, but I kinda wanna hear the song with only Nanna singing 😅
+Nigel Matthëw Chan Are you kidding me? His voice is so much more powerful than her high-pitch whispering. Just my own opinion.
Nigel Matthëw Chan I thought nana was my favourite til I heard the live videos.. ragnars voice is incredible and I feel he'd be harder to replace. not that it'd be easy to replace nana!
I think they're both great. I love men/women duos that play off if each other like this. Arcade Fire is great also, but it's mostly Winn singing.
This is one of my favorite live performances that they do.
They are all adorable and so talented .
just read their surnames in the description and I dont even know how to pronounce them lol
Its there fathers names with dottir for female and son for male
***** patronic names
Leonell Bustamante son of or daughter of... the names are not that hard... spelling them might be a challenge though!
She's hot lol
I want to throw down a jam session like that some day. Pretty awesome and love this song.
Fifty one years old, Minatitlán Veracrúz, México, rocker for over almost all my life and enjoying this great and original music done by Of Monsters And Men.
Like if The Secret Life of Walter Mitty brought you here
Technically, it was Shazam...
I never thought that in a cold country like Iceland, such talented guys with warm hearts and powerful energy could create)))
I really like their songs!
Nanna hermosa!!!
This is my first time watching a video of them live and DAMN ARE THEY GOOD. Awesome. Just amazing..
Something about the sound of their music is so comforting. I like the way it makes me feel.
