Of Monsters and Men - King And Lionheart (Official Video)

[@thelittleredhairedgirlfrom6527]

Whoever did the cinematography for this deserves an award

[@annaw5276]

I love how, after years of their first album release, people are still commenting theories about the stories in the lyrics and videos. That's the spirit of Of monsters and men.

[@zuba-chan9561]

I NEED TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENDED

[@heylookitsviet]

@@zuba-chan9561 I like to think that little kids spirit animal grows up and becomes Dirty Paws and they both come back to save his sister.

[@YTfancol]

Yes, very true.

[@Phodo_Graf]

@@heylookitsviet I believe that the woman gained powers and crash landed in little talks because she was chasing after his brother (or son) that was also going to another planet in the end of King and Lionheart. She then encounters the 5 men which she goes on a journey with. She then finds a monster which she didn't kill because she knew that was his brother (or son), you can tell because she was happy to see him and she didn't kill it off.

[@wagnersantos9285]

but this song is about her brother, most of people know about it. if you check the lyrics, she is telling about the folklore you can hear in Iceland, in the same time, you can notice she misses him and even far away, she won't leave or forget him

[@pepeira]

For anyone wondering, this song is about separation. Nanna, the female singer, has stated that it is about her brother - the king, and herself - the lionheart. According to an statement from OMAM, "The song was written after her brother left with their father to Canada, leaving her and her mother behind in Iceland. She missed her brother and wished they could’ve grown up together." *So i take it that the official video, in a fantasy, world depicts it.* The kingdom falling apart - as the divorce of her parents. The girl running after her brother - as how she missed her brother. The monsters and bad guys - they could be negative emotions that appeared after her brother left *or,* a way to show how the world felt "evil" after she split up with her brother *or,* just be there as characters in that fantasy world.

"The monsters and bad guys - they could be negative emotions that appeared after her brother left or, a way to show how the world felt "evil" after she split up with her brother or, just be there as characters in that fantasy world." Umm how bout they could represent the fricken heartless parents that ripped apart siblings(half or not) is what i thought when i heard about this story years ago. Back when the top of the comments had the poor couple who lost a child to a heart defect. I'm not sure how comments work on KZbin but who the hell wants to knock that story down a peg?

[@ElocinAlways]

Thank you... I felt the feelings, but didn't ever know how real those emotions were to the songwriter. Ouch.

[@festusgichohi7476]

😭😭😭😭

[@dwisinger]

Such a sad topic :(. My heart goes out to Ms. Nanna. I have had similar struggles with my divorce and with my relationship with my children. I cannot pretend to understand what it feels like to be separated from a sibling. My children were my life, and when I choose to give up custody of them, it broke something inside of me (soz for venting). There is a saying that your sibling/s is the person that you will know the longest in your life. I choose to move away from my family of origin and am now living back with them to take care of my parents. I am now getting to know my brother after being gone for over 20 years, and we are very different people. My hope for you is that you are able to continue being you. My prayer for you is that you be the best you that you can be, and my wish for you is that if you ever meet your brother, you treat him with love, kindness, and respect. And you have one of the most amazing voices I have ever heard :)

[@SSM24_]

This has to be one of my favorite music videos ever. The animation, storytelling, and _especially_ the stylization are all just so good.

[@mythicalthings1796]

"From the makers of the music video of "King and Lionheart" directly: "King and Lionheart is a song Nanna wrote for her little brother that she doesn’t get to see that often. Her brother lives in Canada and she lives in Iceland, a world apart. Understandably, she feels very separated from her only sibling. We knew that the song meant a lot to Nanna, so we needed to create a story that would hit home for her, the entire band, and their fans." "

The visual narrative in this video is touching, but for me especially it's come to represent the relationship that I have with my son who was taken from me by a faulty court system and a judge who did not believe that a single, disabled woman could "as effectively raise a child as well as a married father" and put him in the hands of a man who was ignored his existence almost entirely for 10 years. This video has become our special little way of acknowledging to one another that I will always fight for him even if I can't win, I will always find him, and I will always follow him no matter how far the world pulls him away from me.

I remember that my daughter was about 12 when this first came out, and we were dealing with the total breakdown of our family, so to try to soften the pain of our situation, we spent a lot of time together, reading, listening to music (the discovery of OMAM was one of the brightest lights during a really dark time), and I watched her play a lot of video games. I remember how much I used to think of ICO when this would come on, especially when I saw the video.

After two siblings have been separated because of a divorce, they try to reconnect with one another. They insist that they're still the same people they were before the divorce but as the sister grew older, she changed (which is what I believe those floaty animals represented. Since she lost her animal and her brother didn't.) Because of this, they are unable to reform the bond they once had. This is what I took out of the video :)

[@TrapDaddy65]

Kinda close. Nana's parents divorced and her mom took her little brother to Canada, which was really painful for them. I'm pretty sure that what the song is about.

When I was a child, I grew up listening to OMAM and at the same time, my godfather, who is like my older brother, moved to Europe. More than 10 years have passed, and every time we say goodbye after Christmas, it doesn't hurt any less. Recently, I visited him at his home in the UK, and we spent a month together-days that felt like a childhood dream for me. He left when I was a child, and now that I am an adult, I understand the path he chose for his life, and it makes me happy to see him happy. He has always supported me and loved me in such a pure way even though the distance, he has love me as his goddaughter, as his niece, as his little sister, and even as his own daughter. This song always brings tears to my eyes because it has accompanied my feelings since I was a child. And as the world comes to an end, I’ll be here to hold your hand 'cause you’re my king and I’m your lionheart.

I wonder if the black scary machine monsters often seen in this video are references to the ones in 'dirty paws'. I think dirty paws is an analogy; the bees represent some sort of monsterous race that lived underground, and they "decided the sky wasn't big enough for them all". King and Lionheart could just be a turn of events that happened in this giant war. The birds could be some sort of superior power that called upon a creature known as "dirty paws". Another thought; what if the girl shown in "King and Lionheart" is also the girl in "Little Talks"? What if the bees knew she could have such enormous power so they locked her away in that rock thing? This ones a stretch; what if that cat thingie in the end of "Little Talks" is somehow her brother(featured in this video), because they are both equally powerful? She did smile when she saw it, and it seemed like they were traveling to it...but that's just a thought.

JUST A THOUGHT!? NO NO ITS A THEORY :DD SUPPORTED BY US!

[@ogspnosleep1335]

Kim McElroy Holyshit this theory made me nut 😴

[@kennyrennie3093]

imagine it's just a story of travelling with family and you leave some behind, or could just be a music vid that has a totally spiritual meaning and we are all looking for lion hearts and little talks regardless maybe people have mountain's to climb and some of is have dirty paws

[@snail2245]

My mom use to sing this to me on her guitar, that was at least 4-5 years ago... I can't believe it's already 2018, I'm in middle school now...wow

your song got me through some tough times Pennsyvania. The beautiful song is a very good song. Love it.

[@cowardscrazedknavesjoystic8621]

The video gives me so many feels.

[@sat8088]

I’ve been fortunate enough to see this band in concert three times. They are amazing.

[@LeoKliozz]

Escutei essa música uma vez durante minha infância e facinei, desde então tenho procurado por anos e anos e hj finalmente achei

[@meeranepal1758]

how the fuck do they make so many beautiful songs

[@fancyman3132]

no one fucking knows they just do

[@BullwinkleFFMn]

+meera nepal I have a theory: abandon the idea of a certain band member with a prolific ability to write tunes. In my somewhat cynical view of the world I think it may involve a fancy musical note algorithm ran on a bank of supercomputers inputting sounds to a bank of disembodied human brains. The real genius to the whole diabolical scheme is to accurately track higher levels of dopamine in the brains(disembodied and all) when a favorable note sequence is found. They say imitation is they highest form of flattery. I disagree I think being compared to the diabolical schemes fueled by corporate greed is the highest. :-P

[@TawakaltuAllALLAH]

Because they are of monsters and men not just men 🤔

[@courtneyelise09]

they seriously make the most beautiful tragic dark amazing videos. holy fuck.

[@JesusGodHolySpirit3]

Did you NEED to cuss? Is that mandatory?

[@christopherrodriguez2412]

JesusGodHolySpirit3 Yes.

[@jonathanbruyns4710]

JesusGodHolySpirit3 rofl

[@jonathanbruyns4710]

JesusGodHolySpirit3 also, fuck you

[@Myxril]

JesusGodHolySpirit3 Did you NEED to ask if Courtney NEEDED to cuss? Is that not indicative of your nature to peacock your 'higher' standards onto other people? Welcome to the internet, where doctrines come to die.

[@LifeWithSoL]

After spending almost a year in Lockdown and knowing the whole world is suffering so much, this song gives me courage to face the future..

[@hugotodd2749]

keep going, we can all face it together :)

[@Bill87762]

Every father longing for his children can relate to this- we wait for and love you more than you can know now

[@travissweat9098]

One of the most beautifully conceived visuals to accommodate such an extraordinary composition.

[@waxclone7490]

“And as the world comes to an end I'll be here to hold your hand 'Cause you're my king and I'm your lion-heart...” To those of you who have found this type of love, hold on to it and care for it, for I haven’t...and I would wish for nothing more

[@ghoststori6578]

Lyrics: Taking over this town, they should worry, But these problems aside I think I taught you well. That we won't run, and we won't run, and we won't run. And in the winter night sky ships are sailing, Looking down on these bright blue city lights. And they won't wait, and they won't wait, and they won't wait. We're here to stay, we're here to stay, we're here to stay. Howling ghost they reappear In mountains that are stacked with fear But you're a king and I'm a lion-heart. A lion-heart. His crown lid up the way as we moved slowly Pass the wondering eyes of the ones that were left behind. Though far away, though far away, though far away We're still the same, we're still the same, we're still the same. Howling ghost they reappear In mountains that are stacked with fear But you're a king and I'm a lion-heart. And in the sea that's painted black, Creatures lurk below the deck But you're a king and I'm a lion-heart. And as the world comes to an end I'll be here to hold your hand 'Cause you're my king and I'm your lion-heart. A lion-heart, a lion-heart, a lion-heart, a lion-heart A lion-heart, a lion-heart, a lion-heart, a lion-heart Howling ghost they reappear In mountains that are stacked with fear But you're a king and I'm a lion-heart. And in the sea that's painted black, Creatures lurk below the deck But you're a king and I'm a lion-heart. A lion-heart, a lion-heart, a lion-heart, a lion-heart A lion-heart, a lion-heart, a lion-heart, a lion-heart

[@elijahjpassmore]

Dude, this song rly helped me... I just recently heard it again. And it totally blew me away. My sister died one morning, and it was a really hard time for my family. I remember just sitting and staring into the ocean listening to this. Thank you so much

[@jeburs146]

This song brings memories of 14 year old me struggling in secondary school with self confidence and finding myself, just fighting through everyday and holding a fake smile to get through - I remember playing this song and ‘Little Talks’ after school all the time and it made everything so much better, still gives me chills hearing it now🙌🌟

[@summertriangle4745]

Wow.

[@morganlamping4775]

That's not at all what either of those songs are about but ok-

[@samuelhaokip2115]

I hope you're doing well now.. I was 14 at that time too and life was shit .. Thank God life is much better for me now

[@blood-guts-guns]

Same. :/

[@watermelontherainwingyeebo6793]

I am currently recovering from a suicidal attempt and my best friend sent me this❤️ -thanks to all the people who stood with me and kept me safe -and to those ppl that made me like this I hope y’all change

[@deliii395]

This song will always have a special place in my heart.

[@cj2024_9]

It's simply the most incredible music video of all time, best band, best singers

[@adpotter6335]

Finally, a song that doesn't have the comments disabled. I've been having that for every single song I want to listen to.

[@InAHollowTree]

I looked into that recently because it's been getting on my nerves, too. Turns out it's some new crap that KZbin is doing--- often against the wishes of the video-owner--- but no one can figure out exactly why.

[@madinno]

@@InAHollowTree Probably something to do with how toxic people in comment sections can be. We come to listen to music, not be bullied by armchair warriors.

[@billyfisher6802]

Love this band and their music. Wish they'd come out with more

[@rcyadav9746]

What is the art even what is what in translation

[@noone9177]

This sums up Arthur and Merlin. The king and his lionheart. Two sides of the same coin. Both would die for the other, both would kill for the other. They were each other destiny. And in the end, Merlin lost his other half, in his arms, and had to live eternity waiting for his return. Never running away. A lionheart waiting for his king to come back.

[@yopticss]

You came from the video also, I've been looking for a merthur comment for ages

[@kaleramen]

I WAS THINKING THE EXACT SAME THING! This song is so perfect for them fr

[@kingwolf243]

I'm just watching merlin now and definitely this is how i see Arthur and merlins relationship 💝💝 and to top off If you watch little talks video Its the same story

[@esf34147]

i didn't expect to see a merlin fan on this comment section but here we are, and i'm glad

[@danielarusso1922]

I agree. Just perfect for their relationship

[@natwtaf]

I have grown up on this song, I have gone through the best and worst times with it. it brings me so much nostalgia. when I was little my dad made a playlist for me on his KZbin, I adored this song and the music video but I never truly realized how deep it really is.

[@emilycaballero6052]

I don't know where I heard this, because I know I heard it from someone else, but I always think of Aslan and Lucy when I hear this song. Aslan is her king and Lucy is his little lionheart

[@imogenhansen6663]

Yeah I see that, I just think of me and my sister and how awful it would be if we were torn apart and that's what makes the song so emotional for me

I loved Narnia. It really reminds me of this song

[@Mossy.moggy_]

My father showed me this song years ago, and we listened to it like crazy. But times changed. I lost the song after a while. It's been years since I've last heard it, and I only ever remembered the music video until today when my father showed it to me again when we were in the car. I immediately looked it up on KZbin and realized what song it was. I've never felt like I've known a song my whole life and never listened to it before, but I did today. I forgot about the lyrics and beat of the song, but when I listened to it today, it felt like my whole soul knew this song like the back of my hand. It was honestly kinda magical.

[@woodlanddove]

That's beautiful

[@Mossy.moggy_]

@@woodlanddove I'm glad my words got across to someone😅

[@shagynaz]

It doesn’t matter when i listen to this masterpiece, i always end up crying.

[@yourwife1111]

I was transfixed by this music video when it first came out. I would watch it over and over, crying my eyes out but feeling moved in a way I had never experienced from music. It’s so dear to me now.

[@mr.timjohnston546]

not sure what I just watched but boy, really enjoyed it just found this band on here two days ago.. Feb21 2020.. must of been on another planet
