Of Monsters and Men - Lakehouse (Live on KEXP)

[@olliepapper2973]

You know a band is great when they sound exactly like their studio recording.

[@matt54656]

+Ora Nevar or even better in some cases it's ridiculous lol

[@VStrizzy]

the thing is their studio recording didn't have the first verse

[@RiverBeard]

More like when the band sounds alive in their recording?

[@Quirktart]

Better, even.

[@MONKE12388]

Yeah, I feel the same!

[@keylasamad]

You can see in his eyes, he loves doing this.

[@ericday4505]

They all do, I love this old little song.

[@fernandobriones1730]

Who is here in 2020 during COVID-19?! This gives me good vibes no matter what could happen now :-)

[@Toppa35]

2024 buddy, still love this performance, possibly the greatest KEXP gig, sorry i missed your 2020 coment, hope your good :)

[@gilbert-qy2th]

His voice is absolutely perfect for this song. This band is very underrated. Outstanding.

[@isabellamartinez2804]

OF MONSTERS AND MEN ARE THE BEST BAND EVER

[@tamikhedrioui5231]

sorry they are the best but not the best band ever

[@isabellamartinez2804]

Well...... there are very good the second best band for me is Paramore but like of monsters and men more :)

[@augustlambert8952]

The drummer is doing a darned fine job.

[@fdutrey]

August Lambert Snare drum.. such a great impact on the song.

[@ericday4505]

Yes dude is like the glue for me, he is killing it on the drums, I also like the little lady on trumpet, her lungs are not the strongest but she is there, she seems to physically struggle at times, but she was very young then, as were they all.

[@euclid9492]

You can sense a different kind of culture in them that is void of the corruption known to us Americans, and a group of people that seem to express the innocence of youth, not scared to go into the realms of fantasy and imagination and true emotion. THIS is refreshing.

[@faeries_Wear_Boots]

Agreed.

[@AbcDef-lv6rm]

Wonderfully said

[@cmenomore1000]

Music like this def brings feelings back that I have missed. Like you said being young and experiencing something great. I hope they don't get trapped in this ungrateful American society!

[@jorgemartinez1087]

These songs and are song that show imagination and feelings. They take care you back to a almost child like feeling. The let you have peace while knowing that there are still troubles in the world. Not all but some artist should keep this in mind while creating songs. Long live monsters and men!

[@gamingwitheugene5218]

David Engle it not everyone so think beyond life boyyy

[@dblanchette93]

These two have the best voice combination I've ever heard. Perhaps even two of the best vocalists I've ever heard.

[@jordanvillapando6512]

They had a concert here in the Philippines a couple of days ago and they performed this song. You could tell that they extremely miss their home. It was so heartfelt that I almost wept. It was pure magic though, the sadness, the longing.

[@kevinrainer3770]

i would have loved to watch but tickets were a bit too pricey! bet it was worth it though ;)

[@jordanvillapando6512]

Yeah. That night was everything. They were so majestic it was almost unreal.

[@jordanvillapando6512]

gold

[@bethelynhonrado1119]

I didnt know they had a concert in Philippines :( what month was it?

[@zk8562]

Omg. I didn't know that had a concert here. Had I known, I would really push myself to witness their concert. I wish they would go back here and perform here again. My favorite band.

[@rwl1919]

The honesty in this music is nearly overwhelming.

[@elementalscope]

It was really cool that the audience didn't cheer or scream throughout the song. It kept it calm and pure.

[@mariaa7x]

This version is like a million times better than the studio one. ❤

[@toReasonWhy]

When the male singer/guitarist wipes away tears at the end? Yeah that's one way of knowing this is a good fucking band.

[@Yep6803]

toReasonWhy maybe is show? 🤷‍♀️ I think originally they did but sometimes not simply because fans ask it so

[@alejandrociv]

Sweat

[@mcartsupplies]

We are from the USA but love Iceland so much!! 🇮🇸 🎶

[@paulreyes4865]

Looking back on this now, five or six years after first viewing it, this is so so good, it's just unreal. When I think of Of Monsters and Men, I still think of this song and this video.

[@amelia_033]

I love them and this song ahhhh it spreads so much positivity

[@Jimus]

I just discovered the band a few months ago (even when I listened/saw them in Walter Mitty, FIFA and Game of Thrones years back) and I've been listening their first recording and live performances from that time. From all I've found so far, this video is my favourite thing of the band. I feel such joy when I listen this particular performance. I love how Nanna moves with her guitar, how Raggi sings along in silence at 3:17 and Brynjar singing with such energy from 4:27 to the end, he seems very happy.

[@luqvinho]

I couldn't help crying. This song is so beautiful and powerful!

[@ChrisLee-cg4sz]

I have to have the lyrics in front of me to know what they are singing!

[@notMYstupidity]

This is the best acoustic performance ever.

[@juanjonw9869]

Yes!!! The best

[@samhope3358]

i really LOVE it when you listen to a song and you just CAN'T get it out of your head!! Robert Morris - Na Na Na is also EXACTLY that kind of simple, freaking catchy song that sticks with you whether you want it or not

[@ayoobewonders5287]

What a mighty band. I love you Guys. youre simply Amazing. you inspired, writers, artists, designers....ect

[@dyl8ed1]

I love the drums in all there songs

[@ericday4505]

I flat out agree, espeacially here in this song, dude is killing it here.

[@Joyy3]

This is the best song i've ever heard. Their voices just fit perfectly to it

[@alexraptors95]

What I'd give to see these live again... This is probably their best live song, incredible to hear...

[@thecazzaxxx]

Of Monsters and Men = Perfection.

[@MaariooL]

Nanna is so beautiful!

[@ericday4505]

And she appears to have a beautiful spirit.

[@ChunkyWalnutX]

Their songs also help me a lot, I get nervous about every small thing and I feel VERY uncomfortable anywhere, but home. Listening to their music actually calms me down and just in general makes me feel better.

[@joannkk]

While watching and listening to this I feel massive yearning for home and warm, close and true relationships with people. Too bad these things don't exist for me right now.

[@jeanpaultrinidad1664]

These people are great!! Some of the best live performances are on small venues, but these guys just own it!

[@ppaccola]

The most beautiful thing is when the artist can't resist the feeling of his own music, even a person who can't understand absolutely nothing of what they're singing can feel it too. That's the magic of music

[@grantur5fneves]

Como eu queria ver eles cantando ao vivo 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷👏👏👏👏🥇🥇🥇🥇

[@rogermorgan9877]

Their voices are magical

[@ginoimp1584]

no wonder why iceland is so peaceful

[@ThoseBigWarningSigns]

Lovely lovely lovely I love them thank you KZbin for your advertising because it brought me to this band and I never went back!!

[@RandomzStuffez]

Have I lost it? I keep listening to this over and over with only small breaks to eat. I can't get it out of my head and the version on my CD isn't even close to this! I've hit rock bottom and I think I am obsessed.

[@iminapunkband]

This album was very dear to me at a very happy, but transient period of my life. Now whenever I listen to it, any of the songs bring those memories back, and makes me excited for what the future may hold :) And of all the songs, this is my favourite. I will always come back to this clip; such a lovely performance

[@christopherdenegre2364]

Definitely my favorite song.

[@bengiify]

Each time when I hear this.. I feel the same joy as at first hearing..

[@sasuke1788]

It's crazy isn't it? Every live video I have see from them has been so clean and crisp sounding. Very rare.

[@andreae96]

I am downloading their whole album with my mouth hanging open. I had no idea I would actually love their music THIS much.

[@marshmallowfluff75]

Of Monsters And Men are not only perfect, but there REAL music...

[@franki4192]

Absolut klasse, glasklar, emotional und dann die Frau mit der Trompete 🎺.........

[@misstaytayua]

I truly can't get enough of this band. Amazing. Thank you for wonderful, creative, not over-produced music.

[@northernboY241]

Can't stop listening to these guys their amazing !!! And nana is hot schwing!!!!

[@mattwilliams8606]

Thank you first of all. I have watch this video too many to count. This should have been on the album. Well this version. Much love to you all and smoothness

[@DenisWAguiar]

The music brings a good feeling! hug from Brazil!

[@lucashaaman]

Esta banda es buenísima. Esperemos sigan asi por muchos años! Muy buen disco.

[@32jaf]

Real talented musicians, shame they won't play this kind of music on the radio.

[@davidhaney1394]

I have NO IDEA what this band are singing about , but , I just couldn`t care less , I LOVE them . Really LOVE them .

[@tike2006]

Bought their album based on an Amazon recommendation. ABSOLUTELY love these guys. And I agree with junk4luck, the sound is amazing. What a great group. Simply beautiful music.

[@aniballopez61]

i love so much the decemberists but i start to love you guys,you make my sunday so beautyful. You are maybe the best band in this music style rigth now. GOD BLESS YOU

[@carlaravalli867]

i love this song

[@sh00kspeared73]

Just by watching Nanna and Raggi, you can really tell how much this song means to them and how much they love singing it. OMAM is the best

[@pthyago]

Ainda não ouvi uma música que não gostasse. Parabéns from Portugal

[@snowfox73]

I was there to, and damn they are so good live that it leaves you in tears. Takk fyrir mig Of monsters and men.

[@fahbiantureck5280]

Que inveja de você!!!!

[@PabloFrozi]

They have a very good drummer

[@hippogoesmental]

Each band member compliments the other. Especially the singers! Soulful. 99% of the charts haven't got it but these guys dish it out in buckets!

[@UpDownTwist]

“And above all, watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places. Those who don't believe in magic will never find it.” ― Roald Dahl

[@sergiografbike]

the best band of my country

[@techspert9037]

Lucky country

[@misswootie]

Better live than in the studio!!! As many bands these days are when filtered through the genius of the production team at KEXP. I feel that way about most bands I watch on KEXP. Save your studio $ and record four live songs for your album on KEXP! You are the bomb, KEXP, and have kept me rockin' these last four months since I discovered your live sessions.

[@PacerStrong78150]

I seriously start crying when I listen to this son it's so beautiful...

[@06Elysium]

I've been listening to the album the past few days and there's only one way I can describe it...lovely. It's just lovely with its warm, dulcet tones.

[@TheFieryFurnace2012]

What an awesome song and band!

[@inquirewue2]

Goosebumps every time I hear this song!

[@S3CT0R49]

I dont hear music. I hear love.

[@popcorntele]

i have only just started listening to this band ,there gonna be huge ,and the girl on the trumpet is beautiful.

[@razvix2001]

music will replace medicine .healing through great sounds like this that can make you vibrate .

[@Papusiakk]

Had goosebumps all the time. THAT'S MUSIC!

[@kenspets]

The more I hear them, The more I Like them ?

[@alicjagancarz2380]

this is such a beautiful song, absolutely beautiful

[@justaguitardude]

i dig the voices and how they harmonize so nicely. the guy, and the women both have pleasing voices. rock on.

[@noahmcdx1]

It's his voice. It's so crisp and clear and just like it is on the album. It's unbelievable. Obviously that's not all, but in my opinion that's the biggest reason why.

[@TSandthesummerset]

im actually in love with his voice!!! together they sound amazing

[@caio_rueger]

its so beautiful it made tears come out of my eyes

[@martydev11]

They are a sandwich of all my favourite artists put together

[@laurathyregod8289]

Wow... This song has really changed a lot

[@hatinysos2548]

Aww thank you 😊 very much for Everything

[@chloep95]

This version is so much better ❤️

[@junk4luck]

Live performances rarely sound so awesome, what I said was a complement not disbelief.

[@jenniferalice1998]

I personally think this is one of the best songs on the album. It's so beautiful live, it made me quite teary :')

[@vanssvurt559]

I just now watched the video for the first time and i have goosebumps no joke i just want to say each one of the band members you are making some real music so keep rockin :)

[@HollyEWhite]

She sounds like an angel. I think she is my favorite female vocalist right now.

[@Scarecrowman27]

They all have a lot of passion. One of the best things you can hope for. At least you know they put everything into it.

[@allangraham5856]

Trully a breath of fresh air.

[@TheAsshatt]

downloaded the album the other day (yes legally), and swapped out the studio version of the song for this one, because of the missing verse and all. I then promptly blew out the speakers in my car due to the volume difference between this track and the others.......Worth it :)

[@cyclingmel]

I love how you can't tell the difference when they are live and when it's recorded because they ARE THAT GOOD

[@VictorNightengale]

His voice is insanely beautiful. Shes gorgeous, the band are all masters. Perfect band

[@shotgn4]

It isn't common to find a band in which every song is absolutely amazing! Listening to this in Canada.

[@IamMinnie90]

what a LOVELY voice the lead singer has!!! And while i'm here, also, i love hers too. LOVE this band.LOVE it!

[@gga9999]
