      Angie Quint That's exactly what I was going to say. The diversity of beauty and the power of passion is evident in every single one of these. To the point that the "official" full video of Crystals, though beautiful, isn't as powerful to me as these lyric videos have been. I love them.

      Well, not all of them. I saw weird short-haired lady that looks like a man pretending to be a woman in "I of the storm". It can't be "raw beauty" when it's not beauty to begin with.
      But it's just my not very humble opinion.

      Agreed with Chance. I think she is beautiful, and my favorite of the lyric videos, too, in fact. In the balance, they all show how unexpectedly moving honest vulnerability and passion can be. How these emotions make us all beautiful.

    It's been three years now and I keep coming back to this song. I've looked up the interpretation of the lyrics a few different times during that time to try to understand why it makes me feel the way that it does and what I've come to realize is that the words mean something different depending on where you are in your life I suppose. At 48, I realize through my own life experiences just how difficult life can be and the weight of everything that comes with it, but through love and companionship, becoming one with another, there is strength, courage and ultimately hope for an enduring future. This song is just that for me, hope for a lasting happiness... "Heavy stones fear no weather".

      I understand what you mean: you’re talking about literally hearing the music, but it might surprise you to know that even fully deaf people do still listen/enjoy music as much and often as hearing people do. I didn’t know this for a long time. They feel the songs through vibration and they usually blast their music. :)
      I agree with what you say about the beautiful movements though. Art is so beautiful.

      "And from the rain comes a river running wild that will create an empire for you. "
      First of all, OMAM is an amazing band, and their lyrics are the best I've ever heard, so their songs can be interpreted in several ways... But Empire is pretty straight forward.
      Imagine the rain being a metaphor for tears. You will go through so much pain in life, every day might be sour and your vision "cloudy," but from that awful experience you will grow as a person (you will build an empire for yourself).
      The entire song's about that, not just the chorus, but the rest of the song can be, as I said, interpreted in many ways.

      Stay open to music, keep observing. I know a lot of people who listened to heavy metal exclusively in their 30s, then they found stuff that was different, stuff like this. There's a whole world of sound that conveys emotions other than the ones we feel in our frustration years. And I promise it will be worth your trouble.

      +MissyMuffin The radio market where I live totally bites. However there is an excellent public station that I never change. This is where I found OMAN.
      Their music is so varied, you can''t guess what they will play next. I went out to my car at lunch today and the second song they played was the entire The Levee by L.Z!
      Even though that was hard rock back in the day, you could understand every word.

    Brad, this song will always be for you, I would give 1000 years in solitude to have that moment. I always feared the day you were gone, I just never knew what would happen to me. Losing you was the greatest struggle of my 33 years. The tears flowing into the river of time have made minds numb to desire drive want and will. Loving you had the profound cataclysmic affect to make me grow, and then torment and torture me. I will lose my life for you.

    Feel the ocean as it breathes
    Shivering teeth
    See the mountains where they meet
    Smothering me
    As the wind fends off the waves
    I count down the days
    Heavy stones
    Fear no weather
    I find comfort in the sound
    And the shape of the heart
    How it echoes through the chest
    From under the ground
    As the hills turn into holes
    I fill them with gold
    Heavy stones
    Fear no weather
    And from the rain
    Comes a river running wild that will create
    An empire for you
    Illuminate!
    There's a river running wild that will create
    An empire for you
    An empire for two
    An empire for you
    An empire for two
    And I paint your body black
    I hide in your hair
    And you're staring back at me
    Like I wasn't there
    As our bodies become stills
    We welcome the fear
    Heavy stones
    Fear no weather
    And from the rain
    Comes a river running wild that will create
    An empire for you
    Illuminate!
    There's a river running wild that will create
    An empire for you
    An empire for two
    An empire for you
    An empire for two
    And from the rain
    Comes a river running wild that will create
    An empire for you
    Illuminate!
    There's a river running wild that will create
    An empire for you
    An empire for two
    An empire for you
    An empire for two
