I like to listen to this song at night when my thoughts are keeping me awake. I like how it sounds like an eerie lullaby and sort of haunts you in a familiar way, but then towards the end of the song all the voices join together in a march, and it just makes me feel a little less alone, like there are other people on the planet who are going through the same things I am.
I've been going through some very confusing matters of the heart lately, and this whole album has been speaking to me in so many ways. As I drove home tonight, I found myself feeling a little somber. The last three minutes of this song took me to a completely different place, though: I saw me, and her, and all three little ones. And I saw lots of laughter. Even if that never comes to be, it was beautiful to look at, and it made me feel a little better :)
I just love how the tune gets more and more intense the longer it plays and its still relaxing while exciting. This band is too perfect i really feel like i will never like any other band as much as these guys
It is the songs with a craftsmanship of music and lyrics such at these that puts joy in the hearts of a man like me. I don't see the appeal of Gagaga ola la la, or baby baby baby was considered good song writing.
You are exactly right. I did this by accident and woke up later to this song and it made me feel all silly and happy. Fell back to sleep to a better world. The album and this song particularly are absolutely terrific.
This band had such a unique and peaceful sound. I love all of their songs. They have always been my favorite band and always will be. Sometimes I think I have found my new favorite band but then I go and listen to of monsters and men and I know they are my favorite band of all time.
I actually just discovered this band a few minutes ago when Little Talks music video was on when flipping through channels. It caught my eyes and ears. Now I'm down right in love with this band.
Im 38 and a Dad of 4 and trust me , Mumford and Sons, Bon Ivor , Of Monsters And Men, Im the best chilled out Dad EVER my kids love my music taste!!!!!!! Age got no boundary!!!!!!!!
this band's music makes me sad and happy at the same time, must be the moment I'm passing through but still, just knew them two days ago and loving them!
I completely agree. As soon as a song goes mainstream it feels lost and completely worthless, thats why i always listen to the bands like this and one of my absolute favorites He is We.
Does anyone else hear that the whole chant at the end is "my head is an animal" To me which means that that we are different in our mind than what we are perceived.
I used to listen to this years ago and I only just now rediscovered it. It's so melancholy yet so hopeful... makes me nostalgic for a lost innocence...
I was swinging on a swing and had this song on and for Five minutes everything in my world was perfect and there was nothing to hide from, cry from, worry about... It was the most Beautiful moment I've ever witnessed.
This is the most beautiful song I have heard in a long time. It gives me hope that the real heart and soul of music isn't being lost in our generation. Thank you - Of Monsters and Men - for continuing to make real music, music which is so beautiful and should be heard everywhere ♥
My ears were caught by the 3 mn music when I was in a store today. I asked the person what was this nice sound. And I arrived here this evening and have downloaded the song on my Ipod. Power of music...
I have such a history when it comes to these guys. I have been a fan right from the beginning, and theyre practically all i listen to. I have deep connections with some of these songs and memories from awhile ago. I am on of (If not THE) biggest fan of Of Monsters And Men, and will always be. Thumbs up if you feel the same way :)
This song is incredible. It's so simple, but amazingly beautiful. It manages to take you away for a few minutes and send a whole surge of different feelings and emotions through you, it's strangely powerful.
OMAM is honestly the one thing in life that ups my mood regardless of how I'm feeling. These guys are truly amazing, and I'm sure everyone else could agree; THIS is real music.
My lecturer today saw me with my headphones in and asked me what I was listening to, I said 'Of Monsters and Men', he unfortunately didn't know who they were so I said 'it's new music' and he went 'Oh.. new music for young people?' he's about 40.. bless him but he should know this band because it goes across ages not just young people :)
I never used to like this song that much but after getting past the semi-slow intro the song starts picking up and turns into a great song. This was my soundtrack of summer.
When I find a song I like on UA-cam from a new singer, someone I've never heard of, or one of my favorite bands, I generally just think, "Wow! This is great!" and that's it, but coming here, one look at the cover photo and it doesn't give me that feeling that the music business is as big and messy as it really is. The band members just look so at peace and happy with everything as it is. Their music also makes you feel so calm, but not in a sad way... I thought it was cute.
I'm writing my english coursework - totally uninspired, braindead. I stop. Turn this on. Start to write, enjoying the fluidity of this enchanting piece, like I'm transported a different place. It finishes. I stop writing - then replay it again after again... I Love It!
This is my first listening of this band. I really like it. It gives hints of The XX which I can't deny. That, of course, isn't a bad thing. Even so, their sound is very peculiar, all I know is I like it and I will continue my listening of this band.
I can't tell you how much this song spoke to me. Out of this world connection: My 4 year old has cancer, he calls the cancer "sharks" and I call him my "Yellow Boy." Sooo... This song made me gasp for breath. Thank you. Incredible. I need to own this.
i'm 42 and a mum of two daughters...and i so love Of Monster and Men...Mumford & Sons...Avett Brothers...Margot & the Nuclear So & So's....just to name a few :-)
It took me a time to truly appreciate this song, I felt the song dragged on far too long after the main vocals stopped. After hearing it several more times I now enjoy it so much more. Marvelous piece of music. Very relaxing to listen to.
No matter how many times i listen to their songs i could never get bored and i fall more and more in love with their music. Its always so beautiful and the video for Little Talks is awesome =D
This is the 3rd song I've listened that's from this band and it's the 3rd song I love from them. I have to say, even though I'm just starting to discover their songs, this band is amazing. Their voices mix in together like peanut butter and jelly and you can literally FEEL the soul of their songs. Hot damn, why didn't I find this band sooner?

Jennifer Morrow five years in the future but that’s a wonderful way of putting it.
I love this song so much I literally play it every time when I go to bed coz it's like a lullaby for me :)
This is literally one of the best songs I've ever heard...
DMAC Listen to their other songs, all of them are masterpieces
I've been going through some very confusing matters of the heart lately, and this whole album has been speaking to me in so many ways. As I drove home tonight, I found myself feeling a little somber. The last three minutes of this song took me to a completely different place, though: I saw me, and her, and all three little ones. And I saw lots of laughter. Even if that never comes to be, it was beautiful to look at, and it made me feel a little better :)
I find the end part absolutely terrifying. love how it effects everyone in a different way.
I could listen to the last 2 minutes of this song forever
I just love how the tune gets more and more intense the longer it plays and its still relaxing while exciting. This band is too perfect i really feel like i will never like any other band as much as these guys
With this video I met Of monster an men I felt in love with this song! Since then omam is my favorite band ever!
I'm falling in love with his voice :)
***** Her voice is amazing :3
I love the part with the xylophone/glockenspiel or whatever the instrument was. It made it sound delicate and child-like, if that makes any sense. ^^
It is the songs with a craftsmanship of music and lyrics such at these that puts joy in the hearts of a man like me.
I don't see the appeal of Gagaga ola la la, or baby baby baby was considered good song writing.
Old comment
This song is beyond words, just take it in..
so happy to see some real music out this year! Real voices, real instruments!
I like this, its musical poetry..reminds me of a picture book a dreamy child might read-like "where the wild things are."
The music builds into this beautiful atmosphere. It's one of the most gorgeous pieces of music I've ever heard.
So dreamlike.
what an amazing group, three songs so far and I am so very joyful!
My life is rubbish but this song made me smile... Such an amazing band, song, album!
You are exactly right. I did this by accident and woke up later to this song and it made me feel all silly and happy. Fell back to sleep to a better world. The album and this song particularly are absolutely terrific.
Now this is art...
This band had such a unique and peaceful sound. I love all of their songs. They have always been my favorite band and always will be. Sometimes I think I have found my new favorite band but then I go and listen to of monsters and men and I know they are my favorite band of all time.
I listen to this song once and then I can't stop.
I've never met a single person who has listened to these guys and not gotten hooked, they're just amazing.
My stress just went away.
They never disappoint me this band. I even click 'like' b4 I hear the song cos I know its gonna be awesome.
why doesn't this song have a video? I know it's long but still I love it!!
that's a good point but still it's a good enough song
cat berg Watch my video :) vimeo.com/89423297
Maybe because its 2 mins of lyrics and 3 mins of guitar and "la la la's"
they could show people walking. . .maybe?? It has potential
You're right it does have potential lol
I actually just discovered this band a few minutes ago when Little Talks music video was on when flipping through channels. It caught my eyes and ears. Now I'm down right in love with this band.
Simply magical
Im 38 and a Dad of 4 and trust me , Mumford and Sons, Bon Ivor , Of Monsters And Men, Im the best chilled out Dad EVER my kids love my music taste!!!!!!!

Simply perfect :)
this band's music makes me sad and happy at the same time, must be the moment I'm passing through but still, just knew them two days ago and loving them!
Less than 1% dislikes on total likes
That's a great result! People really love this band, and me too!
one of the best bands ever!
yes what's not to love!! :)
I completely agree. As soon as a song goes mainstream it feels lost and completely worthless, thats why i always listen to the bands like this and one of my absolute favorites He is We.
This is a very good song!
And a bit depressing... But in the good way! :D
I love the voice of this band, from the words to the music to the voices of the performers and their instruments, they are unique and fun to follow.
Does anyone else hear that the whole chant at the end is "my head is an animal" To me which means that that we are different in our mind than what we are perceived.
It's the kind of tune you used to sing when you were a kid. Nostalgia has taken hold of you.
Anyone else feel like this song is a continuation of the story in "Little Talks"?
I used to listen to this years ago and I only just now rediscovered it. It's so melancholy yet so hopeful... makes me nostalgic for a lost innocence...
This is what made my crush fall in love with me.
same.
I was swinging on a swing and had this song on and for Five minutes everything in my world was perfect and there was nothing to hide from, cry from, worry about... It was the most Beautiful moment I've ever witnessed.
This song has the power to make me feel good when I'm sad! Every time I listen at of monsters and men is a magic moment.
It's pure sensation... It's to put into words, but I a sense of happiness, union... I love it!
I love how there's just plain music for a few minutes. It helps you develop a true love for instruments and music
I love this song live watching Nanna hit that drum is just awesome
beautifully composed and astoundingly written, this song is blazing yet so tender, scorching but yet so chilly, felicity but yet so melancholic!!
Ive loved this band for the longest now. I'm glad they are finally getting noticed
sweet. love their voices. love the music. so glad i found them.
This is the most beautiful song I have heard in a long time. It gives me hope that the real heart and soul of music isn't being lost in our generation. Thank you - Of Monsters and Men - for continuing to make real music, music which is so beautiful and should be heard everywhere ♥
Cannot stop listening to this song!
My ears were caught by the 3 mn music when I was in a store today. I asked the person what was this nice sound. And I arrived here this evening and have downloaded the song on my Ipod. Power of music...
I love this song, the way she says Earth is so beautiful.
i think i listened to this song 400 000 times
Icelandic artists are really coming around...the quality and depth of music in this hipster dementia is really refreshing...so happy.
real music. music you can feel. thank you, Of Monsters and Men.
I love them so much, they inspire me and their music calms me and makes me so happy! I missed their Detroit show and hope they come back someday.
the song is beautiful, their voices so beautiful, the music / instruments beautiful and they are all beautiful.. everything beautiful!! aaaahhhhh!!
I have such a history when it comes to these guys. I have been a fan right from the beginning, and theyre practically all i listen to.

I could listen to these lalala lala lala for days !
This song is incredible. It's so simple, but amazingly beautiful. It manages to take you away for a few minutes and send a whole surge of different feelings and emotions through you, it's strangely powerful.
This is the true definition of art.
OMAM is honestly the one thing in life that ups my mood regardless of how I'm feeling. These guys are truly amazing, and I'm sure everyone else could agree; THIS is real music.
Thanks to you, I can't listen to this without the rain. It just seems incomplete on it's own.
My lecturer today saw me with my headphones in and asked me what I was listening to, I said 'Of Monsters and Men', he unfortunately didn't know who they were so I said 'it's new music' and he went 'Oh.. new music for young people?' he's about 40.. bless him but he should know this band because it goes across ages not just young people :)
literally repeated this song about 50 times when i was writing my forever long paper, their voices are so relaxing....

Amen to that, absolutely ace live! And they were so happy to be playing
Love this song so much. They're so perfect.

So refreshing to hear beautiful music xxxxxxxx
This is my first listening of this band. I really like it. It gives hints of The XX which I can't deny. That, of course, isn't a bad thing. Even so, their sound is very peculiar, all I know is I like it and I will continue my listening of this band.
I love music like this, It sounds so lovey and peaceful. Just seems to put my mind at ease when I'm listening to it.
I can't tell you how much this song spoke to me. Out of this world connection: My 4 year old has cancer, he calls the cancer "sharks" and I call him my "Yellow Boy." Sooo... This song made me gasp for breath. Thank you. Incredible. I need to own this.

This is the 3rd song I've listened that's from this band and it's the 3rd song I love from them. I have to say, even though I'm just starting to discover their songs, this band is amazing. Their voices mix in together like peanut butter and jelly and you can literally FEEL the soul of their songs. Hot damn, why didn't I find this band sooner?
Oh my God, they don't have a bad song. Incredible. Iceland really does have the best music!
I truly wish big success for this band!!
They always sound soothing to me, i love all there voices. They remind me of Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros or even the Black Keys :)
