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 :)

[@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." "

[@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

[@ZippyZiggyfy]

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.

[@Pinkiepyro1]

Somehow their music just feels Norse inspired, I can't put a finger on it but even without the imagery of their videos it feels Norse Pagan. And I love it. And they have the emotional storytelling that I am.just stunned by, especially not being American they speak to a lot of emotion that comes from the despair of being American.

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. It still can make me cry because I know that nothing is forever, but it makes me feel brave as well because I have faced that too and mostly prevailed.

[@Gouranga56]

So thats the beauty of music though right? You personalize it when you dig a song.

[@Hellgrinde]

Gouranga56 I guess for some folks it is. I don’t relate to music that way. I usually try and take it as is, or find what the artist was going for. Rarely ever does it feel like a song i some how pertinent to my personal life. Maybe thats just me 🤷‍♂️

+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

[@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.

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.

[@thankyouforthevenom4734]

This song is meant to be about a brother and sister who were separated during a war. The older sister goes to look for her brother after she escapes her prison. She finds out he has been killed (the thing taking him away in the music video) and accepts that she is going to be killed and reunited with her brother. (This is all assumptions I think this is what happened)

[@tyrmyrmidon2846]

[@joselynborden5350]

Thank You For The Venom Yep. And if you go to their site you can see the making of the video and learn that it was inspired by the female vocalist having a sibling but not able to see them very much and missing them.

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.

Ever since 2018 I play this this song during take-off every time I fly from my home country to where I’m living now. Even after 5 years I still keep doing this. My family and especially my mother were my lionheart, they raised me, made me the man I am today and got me ready for the life abroad and how to settle in a new life there due to how bad life is in my home country. I start tearing every time I hear this song during take-off because I know I’m alone out there now and I have to be the lionheart this time and face all the struggles life throw at me. It makes me realize how unfair life can be when it forces you to be away from your loved ones
