Just last year 2023 did I get to hear OMAM and fell in love with them. It touches my soul when I hear their songs. Thank you for sharing your inspirations and stories in such a wonderful way.

[@sagarmalhotra1409]

The vocals are lovely, but what sets of monster and men apart for me is all the base players, specially the drummer and whoever does the sound engineering for them.

That was the least unplugged show ever , but , I too love OMAM so , I really don`t care .

[@daniellescicluna3766]

I was fortunate to have heard of these beautiful people as you can gather from their music and interactions with the crowd. My partner went to Iceland and brought me back their first cd that I was able to enjoy and love before Melbourne Australia had them AirPlayed. I was so excited that they’re reach us and the toured here in Melbourne. Which I had fortunately got to see in a hotel… the corner hotel…. So amazing. I had been going through stuff but when they came on and I had seen the fairy lights I cried feeling a emotion on love and healing me. Thank you so much for that experience and the beautiful words music you sing.❤️

[@paulschneeman1476]

Nanna's voice hits you right in the chest, and those B flat instruments like bittersweet chocolate.

[@juanpangarap8300]

church of monsters and men. blessed always great 💖

[@MadDog44]

I found this band (who look GREAT in black) when I was looking for a different love song. I searched for 'Love, love, love', and found the most WONDERFUL SONG and band!! I've listened to them every day since. Since KZbin has them classified as "Bubble Pop", I lost ten years of listening to them.

[@LoveOfMonstersAndMen]

Better late than never! You’re in for a treat as you delve into their music! ✨

[@irmariveraalas1275]

They have a few albums.. they probly don't get the sales they need to keep producing and that could affect morale

My own ship was my wanting to get better and I have , your music really helped me , yours and others I'd be dead without it. So thank you

[@michaelgeoghegan8850]

Love of Monsters and Men -Fairplay for the post mate, this is my introduction to this band and do I even have to say it? But they are excellent, unique, origanal, and extremely talented as the group they are. They obviously write and play their own music which is a rarity theses days. Im from the west of Ireland and i must say i shall be pushing anyone I know into their music about this band. I used to be a Vinyl Dj here in Ireland and England n man I loved GusGus since 1993 n wud always try n play at least 1 GusGus record into my set, my kids used to sit around me when i used to practise at home n they wud always ask me to play GusGus, I shall now tell them about Monsters and men. What is it wit Iceland n their music style? Its so unique, wit sigor Ros, Bork just to name a few. It must be a thing with being the most westerly country in Europe n surrounded by water? And all the Strong men of course. Its all unique y'all and i will keep on listening n promoting. So thanks Iceland for ur music and ye'r entertaining strong men. Tiz all good yo.. keep it up ye'r doing a fantastic job 🆒😉🎹🎶💪

[@fionnpryor7131]

They are a class in their own but I feel the same about each of the musicians we have here..

[@tiborvarkonyi4769]

This is one of the best performance. So human, so talented, and full of love and compassion. Look at, how they changing the instruments. And the "Organs"... Namaste!

[@jaymoore2738]

When the camera pulls back and provides the scene with the portrait of the risen Christ in the backdrop, this becomes even more of a spiritual experience. One of the best examples of how the horn section was so integral a part of their sound at that time. Thanks for uploading!

[@wpariah]

03:02 - 03:31 Look at her hands and movements--she basically inhabits the song. Goosebumps.

[@davidbrown7990]

is it possible to love someone you've never met?

[@LB-qf4bs]

david brown I guess it is bc I can't even tell how much I love them

[@MF-ps7gv]

all these ppl who love god, and i doubt any of them met him.. so im guessing yes you can !

[@lilythenindroid7669]

david brown yes very possible

[@astev52]

It does seem that the Love Love Love song is about Raggi, he disappears almost every time she sings it. If it's not, it must drive him nuts that people think it is. And it wouldn't be hard to Love Love Love Nanna, she is gorgeous.

[@LoveOfMonstersAndMen]

astev52 I don’t think it’s about him specifically. Often when they write songs together they draw in their own different experiences and they may all be talking about their own past people in their lives .

[@LoveOfMonstersAndMen]

astev52 I completely agree about it not being hard to love love love Nanna though! She has my heart!

[@GoodestOats]

I think that Love Love Love was actually written before Of Monsters and Men was formed. Nanna had a previous band called Songbird and I remember reading something about the song being from Songbird, Of Monsters and Men just decided to pick it back up. You could probably find a couple of her Songbird songs on KZbin somewhere.

[@garybonham6048]

[@fionnpryor7131]

I love this band but I've never heard them speak before and this girl sings perfect english but when she talks its broken english. I don't get it...

[@Fast_Travel_Gamer]

She actually speaks English really well, it's called an accent. Singing takes an entirely different usage of your vocal chords so that's why people can sing in such a different way than how they speak.

[@harryhood8840]

this is awesome. Thank you
