It does make me wonder why *this* song, and why Nanna. Given they used all manner of actors/others for the other lyrics videos it could have been any of the other band members. Was the person they had planned for it suddenly unavailable during the filming days ? Did Nanna just really want to do this one ? I shall have to accept that I'll likely never know the answers to these questions.
Maybe this song is her song. Perhaps she chose it because she poured her heart and soul into it and felt she needed to express herself. Idk. Just my thoughts.
What I love most about these videos is none of the lip syncers, not a single one, care if they mess up their hair or make up, or if they look silly, nutty, crazy; if they can't dance, etc. They all just have FUN.
To all you, sitting alone in silence. Stay strong.. please. I hope you realize this pain is only part of the journey. There are better times ahead. Stay strong. ❤🍻💯
This song describes the way I feel after social situations almost perfectly... The lyrics match everything. I'm fairly certain I have some shortcoming when it comes to my ability to speak to others. I always get this feeling... Why is this so hard? Why can't I ever do this right? Why do I do this with everyone I ever talk to? Saying sorry before I even know what I've done; it's all my fault. I messed it up again. I don't know. It's nice to have a song to describe it. "I could swim for days in the salty sea, but in the end the waves will discolor me"-- Every lyric fits perfectly. The longer I spend talking to others the more I feel I'm beginning to lose myself. I didn't even realize before now why I liked this song so much. :) And it helps me understand why I keep trying over and over again ("I leave in my heart because I don't want to stay in the dark"). I'm not sure what the song is meant to be about but that's my interpretation of it I guess.
***** Hey, thanks. :) I've actually begun to suspect I have Asperger's recently, but as I haven't been diagnosed I don't usually mention it. I told my parents about it but they haven't really done anything... My mom did talk to my doctor about my social anxiety, though, although that didn't really go anywhere. Maybe I'll ask again... It would be good too figure this out, and maybe I'll get better at talking to people. :)
Same here. I didn't really like the lyrics and forgot about the song but after two such situations its like the song would have been written to my events. It surreal how good the song describes the feeling I have.
Urghh!! Me too! And the most frustrating part is that I'm probably an extrovert --I get very miserable without social interaction, yet I've no idea how to go about it and I'm, for the most part, very lonely _and_ socially awkward...
This song came to my ears at a very difficult time in my life, at a time when depression was winning me and the desire to kill myself was every day, but this song became an anthem at that time, I identified so much, and even though its lyrics are quite sad, the little hope of being in one's heart allowed me to hold on and continue here, it is for the same reason that I thank this band and especially this song, because music heals, and this is a clear example of that.
I've not been in such a dark place for some time now myself... but Róróró has the same effect on me. It both reminds me of where I've been in the past, and also reminds me of something I need to learn to do to improve in the future.
I love how this video is clearly different than the others. Despite the fact that the performances of the actors from the other videos are great, you can see how they're supposed to act in a certain way according to what they are singing, according to what someone told them to do. Here, you can see Nanna not only singing, but feeling every word she's speaking and talking by corporal expression in her most real and human form. Improvising but nailing it. You really don't understand what is she thinking by moving this way, but it definately makes you feel something deep anyway.
I just checked, she also co-wrote the song. I presume is based on personal experience, like all art, and sometimes even years after things can push your buttons and bring feelings of an experience back. This song associates me on some things in my life, just as it does for everybody else on their life stories. But when you sing a song fully imersed in it knowing what exacly prompted you to write this song and to compose it with other band members fully aware of feelings and thoughts that went into it, singing in such open, honest and raw way i think it is almost impossible to "step back" in your head/heart. Maybe it was a breakup, maybe it was death of a loved one, or depression, or really awfull period of life, only she knows, but you can se it in her expresison and eyes by the end of the video that she sufferd and is still carring her wound in her, like we all do our wounds. Weird feeling i got reminded about stuff in my life that this song associates me to but at the same time i felt really compassionate for her. What ever it was it must had been really painfull to her, then again pain in life often prompts people to create magnificent art like this song... ..at least that are my thoughts on it.
This is so painful to listen to, but in a good way. It touches something very deep inside, that I think a lot of people (including me) have felt. I'm trying very hard not to cry, as I'm in a public place, but... wow... just wow...
I don't know if many people come here anymore, but I know I always will. Their music has helped me so much in so many ways. If I could ever meet them, I would just thank them. I can't wait to see what's next for these amazing people!
The interesting thing is, I'm not even a huge Of Monsters and Men fan, but this is one if my all time favorite sad songs. It takes a great book a few hundred pages to make me feel what this song makes me feel.
@@aggrogator4045 To be fair, I didn't say "feel" in general, I'm talking about the way it makes me feel like at the end, or maybe in a great moment, of a very good novel.
I love how all their videos have nothing to do with sex, age, make up, they are not even trying to look different from what they look like,everyone is beautiful on their own terms. Love from Mexico!! :D
Ngl I want to cry. I know how it feels to not be good enough and I'm literally willing to forsake my hobbies to find love again. My gf died 4 months ago and I know I won't find another one like her.
This song always breaks me. The look in the mirror, the words that I said, the crying hurting my lungs, all was painful, but I didn't want my heart to fully break. At the end, I got away from the dark and I don't want to return. So I take off my face 'Cause it reminds me how it all went wrong And I pull out my tongue 'Cause it reminds me how it all went wrong And I cough up my lungs 'Cause they remind me how it all went wrong But I leave in my heart 'Cause I don't want to stay in the dark
I see one video and think "wow those twins sound really different" then I find out they're not the singers... I see this video and think "wow you can see she really connects to this song and shows feeling for it, I'd never guess she wasn't the singer" and then I find out she IS the singer... fooled me twice, nicely done
Given I've been listening to all three albums, plus the three singles (yes, that means including the cover of Circles) ever since I got into OMAM all of 7 weeks ago... yeah, my brain has become programmed to expect certain songs to follow each other one.
Nanna, not only can you sing beautifully, with perfect emotion, write deep and magical songs, but you can act magnificently. You really brought this incredible song to life.
luigidude44 Oh yeah they definitely should just like because Nanna and Raggi are the main song writers I think it would make sense if they synched a song that was more personal to them. On that note, I think Arnar writes with them too. But I definitely agree they all should do one.
It does fill you with pride as an icelandic how many talented young people we have. OMAM, KALEO and now HATRI. (Klámstrákur if you want your artistic mind blown.) But OMAM are the cherry the music,lyrics and performance is like food for the soul. But please support HATARI and of course KALEO as well. Thank you from iceland
I have always loved OMAM. But this is without a doubt, hands down, the most hauntingly beautiful thing I have ever heard in my life. Thank you for gracing this earth with your music.
Nanna is such a natural beauty with such a beautiful voice. I began crying my eyes out when I realized this song is called organs because she is spilling her guts and putting everything on the line. I relate to this song too much and always get weepy when listening to it...
I never seen anyone like her, I just feel amazed to know that someone as talented and beautifil like her exists in our world. It gives me lots of hope and inspires me to become better.
The lyrics just strike me so much. They remind me of what my mom went through when she got sick. How she just wanted to get out of it so badly and i couldn't do anything to help her. It's almost as if these were her words, what she really felt at the time. The song just speaks to me.
These Icelanders write better lyrics and speak better English than half the musicians and people living in the US. If you read the lyrics of modern pop songs, it's pure drivel. Of Monsters and Men continues to write and create nearly perfect songs. I love this band so much.
Takin' it EZ with DZ what are you talking about? “gucci gang gucci gang gucci gang gucci gang”? That shit had me in tears. So impactful. (This is sarcasm, ladies and gentlemen)
And this shows how songs from a region can reflect the society as a whole. The people from Iceland are in generally humble and polite and they love their environment from their heart and it definitely shows in their singing and song writing. Another example is Bon Iver. American society as a whole I feel is too fast in life, impatient and also materialistic and so majority of the songs reflects these traits of the society. Cheers to OMAM...!!
Beautiful gifted Nanna, thank you for giving us this song. It must have been hard for you, to open your heart and sing your lyrics and film this video. Please know you are not alone, your fans are with you, we want you to be happy and of course, never stop making your beautiful music.
I think all of the videos to this album are perfect, just as the songs - hauntingly beautiful. but this one, oh gosh this one, stings right in the heart, so many pure feelings, deep emotions. I adore it.
As I opened the video. I can barely watch it, she makes me feel uncomfortable, like watching the sun. I don't know, my heart losts a beat every time I see her singing, this video is my death.
-----------------------------------Letra traducida al español :3---------------------------------------- Nota: Algunas cosas traté de no traducirlas literalmente, si hay un error pido disculpas. Lamento que tenga que ser siempre así El viento sopla más fuerte Cuando tienes los ojos cerrados Pero nunca cambié Ningún solo color que he respirado Así que pudiste haber tratado de verme un poco más de cerca Estoy cansada de ir contra la corriente Estoy cansada de dejarlo todo adentro Debería tragarte Y después escupirte No debería de importarme/preocuparme Pero no sé cómo hacer eso Así que me quitaré el rostro Ya que éste me recuerda el cómo todo salió mal Y me arrancaré la lengua Ya que ésta me recuerda el cómo todo salió mal Lo siento por fastidiar, supongo Mi sangre corre rojiza Pero mi cuerpo se siente tan frío Supongo que podría nadar por días En el salado mar Pero al final Las olas me descolorarían Así que me quitaré el rostro Ya que éste me recuerda el cómo todo salió mal Y me arrancaré la lengua Ya que ésta me recuerda el cómo todo salió mal Y toseré mis pulmones Ya que éstos me recuerdan el cómo todo salió mal Pero dejaré mi corazón Porque no quiero quedarme en la oscuridad (x2) Disfruten ♥
I am sorry this is always how it goes The wind blows loudest when you've got your eyes closed But I never changed a single colour that I breathe So you could have tried to take a closer look at me I am tired of punching in the wind I am tired of letting it all in And I should eat you up and spit you right out I should not care but I don't know how So I take off my face 'Cause it reminds me how it all went wrong And I pull out my tongue 'Cause it reminds me how it all went wrong I am sorry for the trouble, I suppose My blood runs red but my body feels so cold I guess I could swim for days in the salty sea But in the end the waves will discolour me So I take off my face 'Cause it reminds me how it all went wrong And I pull out my tongue 'Cause it reminds me how it all went wrong And I cough up my lungs 'Cause they remind me how it all went wrong But I leave in my heart 'Cause I don't want to stay in the dark So I take off my face 'Cause it reminds me how it all went wrong And I pull out my tongue 'Cause it reminds me how it all went wrong And I cough up my lungs 'Cause they remind me how it all went wrong But I leave in my heart 'Cause I don't want to stay in the dark
YOU AND I WILL NOT BE SHAKEN BY THE WINTER SOUND One of my favourites, no doubt. But you never know, Numb Bears is a Bonus Track and they did a Music Video for that.
I have the album so I knew how good the song was going to be, I just like watching the emotion in the face of who's lip syncing! Nana is soo beautiful and has such a heavenly voice!!! aaahhhhh!
I love this song for saying all the words I couldn't find and letting me understand some inportant things. And it made me forgive myself, I'm so happy this song exists.
God this song takes me back to how lonely I felt in school. Having a disability and not fully accepting it and not having other people around me, except it was really hard and isolating. Every time I tried to talk about it, I would scare my friends away and they would get annoyed because they didn’t know how to handle my pain so I stopped talking about it and I reflected my pain in words I learned how to smile, how to be invisible and now as an adult, I am finally clawing my way out of that depression that kept me in the dark for so long
This is my closest interpretation to the song. In the start, the song talks about how things always end the same no matter how hard you try in relationships (for me, the relationships ending and falling apart). Even the writer feels bad about it but she feels like she is helpless. Then, she talks about how you get worst things at the point when you are not even expecting those. Then. I believe she had referred to the thing that her friends say that she has changed when she has not and she is screaming silently for help. Then, she talks about how she is tired of putting efforts even though the similiar is not recieved (they don't put enough efforts). Then, she refers to advice of people to let that person go regardless of how they feel. As a reply to it, she says, "I know what should i do but I don't know how am i supposed to do it." Then, I think the chorus says that she is not being able to express herself which always lead to misunderstandings. Her words always lured people away. Then, she tries to move on and apologizes if she did anything wrong to that person. She feels guilty about it but she is not able to feel the shame and sadness of it. She is just numb now. I think "Swimming in salty sea" in yhis song means that doing something without any chances of failure because you can't drown in salty sea but she then realizes that no matter how hard she tries things will end up bad and she'll feel bad about her expressions and words. Then, she wants to throw away her lungs because they started hurting her as she sobbed insanely. Then, she says that she will try to move on and the song goes back to the start in my interpretation. That's what I had gotten so far.
I'm bisexual and I admitted to one of my classmates that I had a crush on her. Knowing she was straight I was still a little upset and it made everything awkward. Our friends wouldn't talk to me. I went into a depressed state for a long time and I would cry myself to sleep every night, I still sometimes do. This song really touched me in a special way that i have never felt. "but I leave in my heart" To this day its still very awkward... I don't even have feeling for her anymore... but I don't think that will change anything with us.
Reinis Rudzitis That was kind of rude. She wasn't trying to get attention for being bisexual, she was just giving us a context for her confession. And just because you can't relate doesn't mean other people cannot.
A lyric video with an actual band member? Awww yesss
In metal is freaking obvious.
It does make me wonder why *this* song, and why Nanna.
Given they used all manner of actors/others for the other lyrics videos it could have been any of the other band members.
Was the person they had planned for it suddenly unavailable during the filming days ?
Did Nanna just really want to do this one ?
I shall have to accept that I'll likely never know the answers to these questions.
@@AthAthanasius maybe because the song is personal to Nanna
Maybe this song is her song. Perhaps she chose it because she poured her heart and soul into it and felt she needed to express herself. Idk. Just my thoughts.
@@corvoattano6999 I think that's probably the case especially with the expressions on her face on the last few seconds
Nanna is so beautiful and her voice...there are no words to describe it. I love her so much :) OMAM is the absolute best
Her voice is hypnotic as well as her looks.
Revoremus EXACTLY WHAT I WAS GOING TO SAY
Revoremus is that Omoi I see in your profile pic? Wohoo a fellow Naruto fan lol!
You have clearly have excellent taste with the naruto avatar
What I love most about these videos is none of the lip syncers, not a single one, care if they mess up their hair or make up, or if they look silly, nutty, crazy; if they can't dance, etc. They all just have FUN.
That's called a paycheck my dear
Tatsuya Suou bcz there’s no mirror
OMAM's music is so overwhelmingly beautiful. It takes me to another place.
Absolutely true!!
Btw, late by one hour. Damn!
+Griever Heart WTF THATS TERRIBLE
cx45830 I know the lyrics just put ur mind away from reality
This song makes my heart sink. Takes me back when I had a serious addiction. And this song described it and it was my coping song.
To all you, sitting alone in silence.
Stay strong.. please.
I hope you realize this pain is only part of the journey. There are better times ahead. Stay strong. ❤🍻💯
This song describes the way I feel after social situations almost perfectly... The lyrics match everything. I'm fairly certain I have some shortcoming when it comes to my ability to speak to others.

I know exactly what you mean, I feel the same way whenever talking to or just being around others.
Whovians Unite!! :D
Urghh!! Me too! And the most frustrating part is that I'm probably an extrovert --I get very miserable without social interaction, yet I've no idea how to go about it and I'm, for the most part, very lonely _and_ socially awkward...
This is in the top 10 most underrated songs of the decade.
This song came to my ears at a very difficult time in my life, at a time when depression was winning me and the desire to kill myself was every day, but this song became an anthem at that time, I identified so much, and even though its lyrics are quite sad, the little hope of being in one's heart allowed me to hold on and continue here, it is for the same reason that I thank this band and especially this song, because music heals, and this is a clear example of that.

Sorry to hear of your struggle, I hope you are still with us, and your life is much better
@@longhaul61 thanks for your words, and yes, im still here ☺️
These music videos are so good!
I love how this video is clearly different than the others.
Despite the fact that the performances of the actors from the other videos are great, you can see how they're supposed to act in a certain way according to what they are singing, according to what someone told them to do.
Here, you can see Nanna not only singing, but feeling every word she's speaking and talking by corporal expression in her most real and human form. Improvising but nailing it.
You really don't understand what is she thinking by moving this way, but it definately makes you feel something deep anyway.
I just checked, she also co-wrote the song. I presume is based on personal experience, like all art, and sometimes even years after things can push your buttons and bring feelings of an experience back.

But when you sing a song fully imersed in it knowing what exacly prompted you to write this song and to compose it with other band members fully aware of feelings and thoughts that went into it, singing in such open, honest and raw way i think it is almost impossible to "step back" in your head/heart.
Maybe it was a breakup, maybe it was death of a loved one, or depression, or really awfull period of life, only she knows, but you can se it in her expresison and eyes by the end of the video that she sufferd and is still carring her wound in her, like we all do our wounds. Weird feeling i got reminded about stuff in my life that this song associates me to but at the same time i felt really compassionate for her. What ever it was it must had been really painfull to her, then again pain in life often prompts people to create magnificent art like this song... ..at least that are my thoughts on it.

Yes I can relate and I've been hurting for a very long time. Surely there's a better time for us ahead
This whole album is so raw and beautiful. You can feel the life in it.
I'm in tears, this is beautiful
This song/video is so beautiful that I'm going to tell my therapist about it.
beautiful?
"I should eat you up and spit you right out"
*meh*
ihavesomanysubscriberscauseofmylongchannelname such a amazing song
I don't know if many people come here anymore, but I know I always will. Their music has helped me so much in so many ways. If I could ever meet them, I would just thank them. I can't wait to see what's next for these amazing people!
2023 I'm here all the time.
This song must have special meaning for the singer to appear in it
Exactly my thoughts
“Take a closer look again at me” is a good lyric that may explain part of it
Nanna is love, Nanna is life.
The interesting thing is, I'm not even a huge Of Monsters and Men fan, but this is one if my all time favorite sad songs. It takes a great book a few hundred pages to make me feel what this song makes me feel.
If it takes a few hundred pages to make you feel, it's not a great book lmao
@@aggrogator4045 To be fair, I didn't say "feel" in general, I'm talking about the way it makes me feel like at the end, or maybe in a great moment, of a very good novel.
I'm not able to find appropriate words to express how much beautiful she is... I have a serious crush on her and OMAM's music.
I never thought I'd find a song that describes how I feel right now--impressive!
I love how all their videos have nothing to do with sex, age, make up, they are not even trying to look different from what they look like,everyone is beautiful on their own terms. Love from Mexico!! :D
i relate to this song so much. This song is very powerful. it made me sob like crazy. thank you of monsters and men for making this song.
This song completely describes how it feels to be heartbroken. It's beautiful. Thank you Nanna, it's amazing.
omg Nanna is so beautiful . when i saw her face i was like omg shes so amazing
I REMEMBER WATCHING THEM HERE IN BUENOS AIRES ..... WITH THIS SONG, I SAW NANNA'S SOUL !!!!!
Wow, primer seguidor de OMAM que ubico en Bs. As.
acá uno de cba! fui a lollpalooza y no los vi :(
Somos varios! jajaja
Is this band even capable of writing and composing a bad song, I love this so much 💕💗
The very end of the song, when she tries to fix her hair, shows just the perfect amount of humanity.
Harriet Milton yes! It's so pure
Ngl I want to cry. I know how it feels to not be good enough and I'm literally willing to forsake my hobbies to find love again. My gf died 4 months ago and I know I won't find another one like her.
I can never listen to this song with dry eyes... it's so moving and truly hits close to home.
This song always breaks me. The look in the mirror, the words that I said, the crying hurting my lungs, all was painful, but I didn't want my heart to fully break. At the end, I got away from the dark and I don't want to return.
So I take off my face
'Cause it reminds me how it all went wrong
And I pull out my tongue
'Cause it reminds me how it all went wrong
And I cough up my lungs
'Cause they remind me how it all went wrong
But I leave in my heart
'Cause I don't want to stay in the dark

Every song in this album and the videos associated with them are absolutely beautiful. If you haven't seen them, I urge you to.
Nanna, not only can you sing beautifully, with perfect emotion, write deep and magical songs, but you can act magnificently. You really brought this incredible song to life.
This song made me cry....If You get 100% the meaning behind this sing is because You felt every single letter :)
Is magical how all their songs makes you feel something special. This is another wonderful song.
She's beautiful and her voice is magical 🥰✌️
she looked so serious! its amazing! AND it gives that song the perfect touch! I LOVE YOU OMAM!!!!!!!!!!!!
Does this mean that Raggi will do a lip synch? PLEASE!!!!
Olly Best How bout the rest of the band?
I vote Arnar!
luigidude44 every1
luigidude44 Oh yeah they definitely should just like because Nanna and Raggi are the main song writers I think it would make sense if they synched a song that was more personal to them. On that note, I think Arnar writes with them too. But I definitely agree they all should do one.
Either Raggi and/or Nanna makes total sense also :)
This is so meaningful, so beautiful. Staggering, every time i listen to it i just stare blankly, listening and contemplating. Beautiful.
It does fill you with pride as an icelandic how many talented young people we have. OMAM, KALEO and now HATRI. (Klámstrákur if you want your artistic mind blown.) But OMAM are the cherry the music,lyrics and performance is like food for the soul. But please support HATARI and of course KALEO as well. Thank you from iceland
There's always something different done with the lyric videos and this is one of my favorite tracks and just aaaah
I have always loved OMAM. But this is without a doubt, hands down, the most hauntingly beautiful thing I have ever heard in my life. Thank you for gracing this earth with your music.
Nanna is such a natural beauty with such a beautiful voice. I began crying my eyes out when I realized this song is called organs because she is spilling her guts and putting everything on the line. I relate to this song too much and always get weepy when listening to it...
When THESE ACTORS lip sync OMAM it is beautiful and emotional art.
When I lip sync OMAM I get looks and stared at.
This is Nanna, the singer of the song!
Ninty yep! Now I want Raggi to lip sync a song lol
Of Mumford & Bastille he should do wolves without teeth
Will Davis fac EAZsaZBnbbbllĺ
Ikram oh yeah I knew it was Nanna! I love her in this video, love her music and love her accent haha :P
I never seen anyone like her, I just feel amazed to know that someone as talented and beautifil like her exists in our world. It gives me lots of hope and inspires me to become better.
Agh, I can't keep putting this on repeat, I'll drown my math homework in tears😢
same
Love that she would rather give everything away but her heart. The heart keeps her in the light. So beautiful...
The lyrics just strike me so much.
They remind me of what my mom went through when she got sick. How she just wanted to get out of it so badly and i couldn't do anything to help her. It's almost as if these were her words, what she really felt at the time.
The song just speaks to me.
these actors show so much emotion... I love the music, so keep up the good work
I'm autistic, and some of her movements remind me of my stims, I love this video
Just poetry...my soul as a memory that is described by these words. Beautiful.

*watches video*
*Loudly sings to song*
*slowly dies inside*

Why hasn't this song won a Grammy yet!
Holy crap Nana is the actor thats awesome
My favorite thing about this song is the cello. Absolutely beautiful. Its like I can feel it in my soul.
this is one of my favs i cant get sick of this song or there music
Oh my God, what I beautiful song... Whole album is perfect, but this is even BEYOND perfect...
As a medic I ran my first death came back to the station and listened to this... I can’t ever forget
Oh wow.. this is amazing.. I think I fell in love with this song and the piano 😱
'find me in the backyard, in the dark'
'i leave in my heart, 'cause i dont want to stay in the dark'
Nanna is just awesome! Love this song, love this video, and love this band!
Does anyone realise this the actual singer?
Yep.... Lol
Oh, it is? Wow.
I knew from the first second. I'm a true OMAM fan.
I think everybody does lol
As I opened the video. I can barely watch it, she makes me feel uncomfortable, like watching the sun. I don't know, my heart losts a beat every time I see her singing, this video is my death.
How lovely ,,. such a unique and special voice.

Nota: Algunas cosas traté de no traducirlas literalmente, si hay un error pido disculpas.
Lamento que tenga que ser siempre así
El viento sopla más fuerte
Cuando tienes los ojos cerrados
Pero nunca cambié
Ningún solo color que he respirado
Así que pudiste haber tratado de
verme un poco más de cerca
Estoy cansada de ir contra la corriente
Estoy cansada de dejarlo todo adentro
Debería tragarte
Y después escupirte
No debería de importarme/preocuparme
Pero no sé cómo hacer eso
Así que me quitaré el rostro
Ya que éste me recuerda el cómo todo salió mal
Y me arrancaré la lengua
Ya que ésta me recuerda el cómo todo salió mal
Lo siento por fastidiar, supongo
Mi sangre corre rojiza
Pero mi cuerpo se siente tan frío
Supongo que podría nadar por días
En el salado mar
Pero al final
Las olas me descolorarían
Así que me quitaré el rostro
Ya que éste me recuerda el cómo todo salió mal
Y me arrancaré la lengua
Ya que ésta me recuerda el cómo todo salió mal
Y toseré mis pulmones
Ya que éstos me recuerdan el cómo todo salió mal
Pero dejaré mi corazón
Porque no quiero quedarme en la oscuridad
(x2)
Disfruten ♥

I am sorry this is always how it goes
The wind blows loudest when you've got your eyes closed
But I never changed a single colour that I breathe
So you could have tried to take a closer look at me
I am tired of punching in the wind
I am tired of letting it all in
And I should eat you up and spit you right out
I should not care but I don't know how
So I take off my face
'Cause it reminds me how it all went wrong
And I pull out my tongue
'Cause it reminds me how it all went wrong
I am sorry for the trouble, I suppose
My blood runs red but my body feels so cold
I guess I could swim for days in the salty sea
But in the end the waves will discolour me
So I take off my face
'Cause it reminds me how it all went wrong
And I pull out my tongue
'Cause it reminds me how it all went wrong
And I cough up my lungs
'Cause they remind me how it all went wrong
But I leave in my heart
'Cause I don't want to stay in the dark
So I take off my face
'Cause it reminds me how it all went wrong
And I pull out my tongue
'Cause it reminds me how it all went wrong
And I cough up my lungs
'Cause they remind me how it all went wrong
But I leave in my heart
'Cause I don't want to stay in the dark
Awwww Nanna 😍 please do Winter Sound next oh oh ohhhh woah, uhohuhoh oh oh oh woah..
It's a bonus track, I doubt it will happen. It's my favourite track off the album, though.
yeah me too. That one is so catchy
YOU AND I WILL NOT BE SHAKEN BY THE WINTER SOUND
One of my favourites, no doubt. But you never know, Numb Bears is a Bonus Track and they did a Music Video for that.
+Wilbur Caluen THIS
+Wilbur Caluen She is pretty, very pretty!I love her 💚
Oh look its my soul mate lol 😆 Nanna is so amazing, truly a wonderful singer/songwriter. So deep and enchanting!
Adoro as músicas do OMAM... It's perfect!
This album came out at the same time I became a healthcare provider, and as sad as this album is it helped me through a lot of dark times.
Este grupo es increible, cada canción que escucho es mejor!!!!!!!!!!!!!
She's so beautiful. I'm in awe.
I have the album so I knew how good the song was going to be, I just like watching the emotion in the face of who's lip syncing! Nana is soo beautiful and has such a heavenly voice!!! aaahhhhh!
Beautiful!!!!!! And such a great song too. I can loop this a thousand times and still want more.
literally the only band who has cool lyric vids
I see so much of Bjork in her gesturing and in the movements of her mouth. So lovely!
Don't know why but this made me cry
Bloody amazing!
The acting is so good, I can't get my eyes off the screen ! So many expressions, so much dedication...
Hello from 2023. Gosh the time passes so fast. 8 years...
This songs means so much to me. Thanks OMAM for always making me feel alive 💙
Beautiful just like Iceland, overwhelming.
I love this song for saying all the words I couldn't find and letting me understand some inportant things. And it made me forgive myself, I'm so happy this song exists.
I've never felt more emotionally attached to a song.
God this song takes me back to how lonely I felt in school. Having a disability and not fully accepting it and not having other people around me, except it was really hard and isolating. Every time I tried to talk about it, I would scare my friends away and they would get annoyed because they didn’t know how to handle my pain so I stopped talking about it and I reflected my pain in words I learned how to smile, how to be invisible and now as an adult, I am finally clawing my way out of that depression that kept me in the dark for so long
Nanna linda diva 😍❤
Oh yes. She is perfection 😍💚
I was so suprised that Nanna was in the video
I'm in love with this band and in love with the songs
what if for one song they got someone to do it in sign language..
That actually sounds like a brilliant idea..
That would be beautiful omfg
that would be amazing
Dani Renedo oh really. which band and which song? (even if its Spanish i'm curious now)
A brazilian girl made a version of Empire in ASL, you should watch it :) Search for "Deaf Yoga Girl"
simplesmente a música perfeita e vc Nanna... não há palavras para descrever!
you're an angel Nanna!
Beautiful Nanna, beautiful voice, beautiful song, awesome band.
This is my closest interpretation to the song.
In the start, the song talks about how things always end the same no matter how hard you try in relationships (for me, the relationships ending and falling apart). Even the writer feels bad about it but she feels like she is helpless.
Then, she talks about how you get worst things at the point when you are not even expecting those.
Then. I believe she had referred to the thing that her friends say that she has changed when she has not and she is screaming silently for help.
Then, she talks about how she is tired of putting efforts even though the similiar is not recieved (they don't put enough efforts).
Then, she refers to advice of people to let that person go regardless of how they feel.
As a reply to it, she says, "I know what should i do but I don't know how am i supposed to do it."
Then, I think the chorus says that she is not being able to express herself which always lead to misunderstandings.
Her words always lured people away.
Then, she tries to move on and apologizes if she did anything wrong to that person.
She feels guilty about it but she is not able to feel the shame and sadness of it. She is just numb now.
I think "Swimming in salty sea" in yhis song means that doing something without any chances of failure because you can't drown in salty sea but she then realizes that no matter how hard she tries things will end up bad and she'll feel bad about her expressions and words.
Then, she wants to throw away her lungs because they started hurting her as she sobbed insanely.
Then, she says that she will try to move on and the song goes back to the start in my interpretation.
That's what I had gotten so far.
Conheci essa banda a pouco tempo e já é uma das minhas preferidas, sempre procurei uma banda assim, até que enfim encontrei! Muito boa!
I'm bisexual and I admitted to one of my classmates that I had a crush on her. Knowing she was straight I was still a little upset and it made everything awkward. Our friends wouldn't talk to me. I went into a depressed state for a long time and I would cry myself to sleep every night, I still sometimes do. This song really touched me in a special way that i have never felt. "but I leave in my heart" To this day its still very awkward... I don't even have feeling for her anymore... but I don't think that will change anything with us.
interesting story :)
Yeah, mind as well would have said that you`re a feminist and a vegan. Nobody really cares about your "special" sexual orientation. Period.
The point was that she had feelings for someone that were unrequited. Could have happened to a straight person too.
Reinis Rudzitis That was kind of rude. She wasn't trying to get attention for being bisexual, she was just giving us a context for her confession. And just because you can't relate doesn't mean other people cannot.
+Reinis Rudzitis ha
I did not know it was possible to admire Nanna more. But her performance here is just so amazing
