This man has the face of a professor, of a humble servant, of a rightful medieval king, of a poor philosopher, of an artist... You feel you can trust him

I don't know who this man is but I trust him.

Of Monsters and Men’s music always feels like someone is asking if I want to go on a big adventure, but also telling me there’s many dangers along the way

The emotion in the man's face makes me want to cry, and the lyrics are so relatable I'm just completely overwhelmed. I want to cry and laugh and dance at the same time.

i dont know who this random man is, i just know i love him

I want to hug this man

"Let your colors bleed and blend with mine" Why am I crying?

The pure emotion, elation, sadness, empathy that simply shine throughout his performance is outstanding. His look at the end tells me everything; he's lived this song as a journey. I am forever grateful for this band to have these sort of videos - sometimes we all just need some empathy. We need to see each other as humans, and understand our struggles, and accept each other. I've known this song for a long time, but it comes now in the darkest time of my life, and I see a stranger in a video from years back and as he looks straight into the camera, I feel seen and understood, and I feel his empathy. He can't help me, but he understands. He tells me it's okay not to be okay. He sees me and forgives me.

Your singing is very beautiful, fluffy smile man.

I want to hug this fluffy cloud faced man.

He's going to be pissed when he finds out they dubbed over his musical debut.

“But I'm okay in see-through skin I forgive what is within 'Cause I'm in this house I'm in this home All my time” I have trouble accepting my body. So on bad days when I don’t love my body I play this song (those lyrics) and it makes me love myself again. It’s not much but it’s everything to me. 💕

Seeing this man just singing along so lively really makes me happy ;w;

Luke Skywalker, stop singing and come back! The galaxy needs you!

I respect this man 101%. He is so funny looks like a great guy just having so much fun and enjoying himself singing to a brilliant song by a very talented band. He gets all the emotion right and does all the pauses. He's probably a grandfather and has happy children and I hope he is happy himself. Apparently he voices the Icelandic Spongebob. How awesome is that?!

I'm crying right now. I'm scared. I'm scared of the future, how will i be when i grow up. I'm scared about life. Can i be man enough? Will i be a man? Will i be succesfull? Can i live my life? im scared of risk and challenge in life. Im scared of people judgements. I'm scared of being my self. This song is so deep to me. really makes me cry.

Why do I now feel emotionally attached to that old man? He seems so nice....

Of monster and men must be ONE of the most amazing bands nowadays. It is really pleasant to hear bands from the new generation making such great music like these guys. My head is an animal was one of the most beautiful albums I've heard and this one won't be the exception. This album and Florence and the machine's new album are the ones I'm really waiting for this year!

As someone who has been hated by his brothers, rejected by everyone I try to connect with, am totally alone, but still hanging on... This song has been with me for years, I keep coming back to it for strength, it keeps me thinking I'll find someone good in the world.

It's not a coincidence that this video is more popular than the "real" music video. There's something so endearing about the realism of this video. That's exactly how it feels like to experience such a powerful song and personally I don't react too differently myself when listening to it.

that old man has one hell of a voice!

ECSTATIC that this song is in the trailer for Disney/Pixar's The Good Dinosaur. The song suits the trailer so well and OMAM and Disney are two of my favorite things ever! I'm so proud of OMAM and excited that they're getting that exposure, especially with their newest music. ❤️💎🐲

Last night, I lost a friend of 15 years to cancer. I'm not alright, but this song, the emotion of the man...Thank you for a small moment of solace.

This song came out right as I went into an abusive situation, it will remain one of my favorite omam songs for as long as I'm alive. I don't know what I would have done without this band's music to bring me back down from panic attacks or to put me to sleep when it was a really bad day. Until I found “the oh hellos” omam music was the only thing I had on my phone.

Mumford and Sons kind of let me down with their new sound, even when I do respect a band changing and adapting to their own pleasing, but I love folkish music. And here comes Of Monsters and Men to the rescue! This is so, so, so wonderful...

I hope I'm not crazy but whenever I listen to OMAM I get this wanderlust feeling of primal nostalgia and it makes me want to live in an ancient and unexplored world. Please tell me I'm not crazy and this happens to people other than myself.

Fav lyric: "In spite of all my fears I can see it all so clear"

Every few years I come back to this, just to catch a little bit of the soft happiness this man radiates

Can we all agree that we all want to hug this man! He makes me so happy!!!

'I'll wither so peel away the bark cause nothing grows when it is dark'. So touching. Love this line.

One of the most beautiful songs there is. They are an absolutely amazing band and completely underrated.

I heard this song for the first time recently. It had such a profound impact on me, I've been listening to it almost everyday. I love the message. To me it means to live your life in the moment and look past negativity. Enjoy the journey of life before you are gone.

I love when he smiles at the end.

Fun fact: the actor is the Icelandic voice of SpongeBob Squarepants

me: haha beard man him: **tears in the end** me: **sobbing** I would die for you

This songs means so much to me and has gotten me through some very rough times lately. Everytime I feel down and hopeless I listen to it. The old man and the song together literally makes me sob. From everything I've been going through and just realizing that everyone goes through hard times. As crazy as we all are, humanity is beautiful. And this man, and his soul, and this song are beautiful.

*The comments* *0.01%* The song *0.01%* The Good Dinosaur *99.98%* The old man

I cry every time I hear this. This song means so much to me, no matter what anybody says or thinks. This will forever hold a place in my heart. 16/07/16

I have fallen for this band…it’s 2023 and I’m now discovering them 🤯🔥❤️

“Nothing grows when it is dark” What about crystals.

If you weren't able to see his shoulders, it would just be an unsettling floating head jamming out

I just can't explain how relieved and glad i am: i have to admit that i was a little bit worried about this new single (in my mind it was like: and if they changed their style?????). But this is purely and 100% Of Monsters And Men. Can`t wait to hear the whole album. Greetings from Argentina!

Lost in skies of powdered gold Caught in clouds of silver ropes Showered by the empty hopes As I tumble down, falling fast to the ground I know I'll wither so peel away the bark 'Cause nothing grows when it is dark In spite of all my fears, I can see it all so clear I see it all so clear Woah Cover your crystal eyes And feel the tones that tremble down your spine Woah Cover your crystal eyes And let your colours bleed and blend with mine Making waves in pitch black sand Feel the salt dance on my hands Raw and charcoal coloured thighs Feel so cold and my skin feels so paper-thin I know I'll wither so peel away the bark 'Cause nothing grows when it is dark In spite of all my fears, I can see it all so clear I see it all so clear Woah Cover your crystal eyes And feel the tones that tremble down your spine Woah Cover your crystal eyes And let your colours bleed and blend with mine But I'm okay in see-through skin I forgive what is within 'Cause I'm in this house I'm in this home All my time Woah Cover your crystal eyes And feel the tones that tremble down your spine Woah Cover your crystal eyes And let your colours bleed and blend

Who's still listening in 2024? 🥹

This song feels so emotional to me.

For a while I was trying to figure out who this guy reminds me of. Then it hit me. Robin Williams. He's clearly not an exact look-alike, but a video like this is something I could see Robin doing if he was alive. And now I'm sad again.

Heard this song first during my trip to Iceland. Listening to it in the car while the breathtaking Icelandic landscapes passed by my window has been an unforgettable experience

The actor in this video has the cutest face ! his smile makes me so happy !

I personally think that Crystals is actually their best song. It has so much emotions and depth. But the refrain always makes me happy and hopeful somehow...so much Power!

No but honestly this band and there songs mean so much to me, I've never felt so amazing listening to anything, their songs have helped me with a lot and been there for me during bad times. Of monsters and men mean a lot to me.

In its simplicity, this pairing, of music and video, still remains one of the most memorable out there.

I am happy to see someone of a another generation partaking in the new music... and were all the same just need to realize that. love is number one. sorry if it sounds suckky....

The man is an accurate representation of me with this song

i am this man when i sing this song.

A song of pure joy and hope! The man lip-syncing this masterpiece of music understands the meaning of the hearts that both wrote it and put it fourth for us to hear and enjoy! Having said that, I am ever happy to experience more of what Of Monsters And Men have to offer! The talent is more than evident.

Not that anybody cares but this video and song has lived in my head rent free for years. Saw it on the television in a bowling alley and was completely mesmerized and every once in a while wondered “What was that song that had an old man lip-synching to it for some reason that I saw at a bowling alley” and finally found the video I am pleased with myself.

I love this man so much already, he did a really good job. YOU GO GRAMPS!

after all these years, I still watch this video with love and I get lost in it, in the music and in the lyrics ... and this man ... Hope is happy, wherever he is, here on earth, or beyond our comprehension.

"in spite of all my fears i can see it all so clear" for the last couple of years ive been going through without doubt the worst time ive had, due to health problems, even without worrying about the thing were mostly all worried about these days, and yet at the same time the trees have cleared from the wood & i have plans for the future i never thought i would. i literally can see it all so clear for the first time...... just discovered this band recently, every song has hit me in one way or other.

I adore how this man reacts to the song

Thank you for staying true to yourself Of Monsters and Men. The new singles by some of my other favorite bands - Florence and Mumford and Sons - have completely changed their style to something they believe to be more appealing to the public, which I find disheartening since they were such great bands before this. Keep staying true to your soul and your fans, including myself, will gladly stand by you.

This man is your grandfather telling you "I'm proud of you, Champ" when you're 6 years old. This man is your father, telling you "I'll be fine, don't worry, Kid" when you know he's checking into the hospital for the last time just last year. This man is you, telling your own child that you love them so much before you sent them off to school this morning. This man is all of us in the future, telling our grandkids "I'm proud of you, Champ". And this man makes me feel warm, sad, and happy all at the same time.

This is one of my favorite OMAM songs. It's pure magic.

O: Original M: Mysterious A: Amazing M: Music

Mumford and Sons change their sound; people go crazy and ask where the banjos are. Of Monsters and Men stick with their sound - People accuse them of being boring and 'sounding the same'. Its a losing battle, isn't it?

I can tell that this man that’s lip syncing the vocals is a fan of the song and already knows the words. He doesn’t have his eyes open or focused ahead enough to be reading off a lyric sheet.

I found the monsters of men about two years ago or their music or whateverand all of the videos that have people or even just one person dancing or lip singing the lyrics never fails to make me happy or feel better and I adore that so thank you for making me feel a little less alone

i lack the vocabulary to describe how much this song means to me. by the time im done listening to it my soul is raw and and for the next little while i have a feeling i am incapable of defining other than the words beautifully light. even now im struggling to word how fucking special this song, man i dont even know the name of, and even these artists are to me. you dont even know it but you and your songs have seen me through so much in the past three years. thank you.

we need a msuic video now, but we dont have any money. *Random Dude: Chill I got this. Roll the music.

Im little late to this I guess but I love this song. A lot of time in my life I have self doubt, inner darkness and lack of love for myself. I’ve worried about hurting those I care for and love. This song rejects the idea of loving someone except for their flaws and instead embracing all of one’s self and the ones they care for. This song brings tears to my eyes because of a this profound and beautiful understanding of love and acceptance. Simply opening one’s eyes and letting people in…

Someone mentioned this song was about the soul, and that does make some sense. However, I like to think that instead it's about one's past, their demons, their regrets, and dreams that never were. The wolves. The empowering notion that you can move forward despite these wolves, as long as you're moving forward...your past has no teeth

bless this man

3:29 was beautiful when it was all quiet and then it went "OHOOH" i just

The first half of the song is the fear of life, deepening with the anxieties of finances, work, death, etc. With mental illness you fear for yourself and your loved ones- you’re trapped in the darkness of your mind and there is seemingly no growth in the dark. How could you love as part of you so dark and despairing? The last half is realizing there is growth (crystals grow in the dark). Yes there are anxieties but it’s important for us to love and forgive that part of our self. The last half is sung with acceptance and love for oneself. And it’s important to be happy with ourselves and be able to be vulnerable with one another.

"i know ill wither, so peel away the bark. 'cause nothing grows when it is dark." my favorite line.

Three things that I am certain of: 1. This guy makes me comfortable, calm and safe 2. This song is the best and this band is the best 3. This should be the official music video for this song

I think i can almost feel this beatiful man's heart. That's why we have the commun sense that we can trust him. In this video he doesn't uses any masks, it's really him, singing and dacing. We all miss the contact with the eye that the soul can be seen. i almost can feel this old man's heart, soul.

That man is dancing along so lively! Its so adorable! He seems like such a sweetheart

And he looks like a philosophy professor that I once had he has passed and I wish more than anything to talk to him again. I’m sorry 💛

I wish I could meet this man and tell him my problems, make him my personal counselor. Am I the only one that feels at peace while I'm looking at him ? 😆😂

FIRST REIGN FAN HERE WOO

Imagene still listening to old FIFA music you searched fore this because you want some nostalgic back

This is one of my favourite pieces of art on earth. So simple but it makes you feel so many ways and think deeply

This man can help me raise my children.

My cat died yesterday, and this is getting me through the day. Thank you OMAM.

I used to listen to this song everyday with my brother when her would pick me up from elementary school, now he’s married and moved out and I recently found this gem song again

This man dances like a more realistic muppet and I absolutely love it. The pure expression that exudes from his motion and his face is just so captivating you feel like you could be best friends like you can trust him. amazing song and video

I love how this man is wearing a black turtleneck in a black background so it looks like his head is just floating around

who is this old man and why is he making me feel? such power in him.

I have no words to describe what this song makes me feel

Nanna has an undertone in her vocals which can only be felt and not distinctive for everyone......And Reggi just complement her beautifully with his own unique talent which itself is quite extraordinary. That's why at the present times OMAM is one of my favorite band. Everytime I hear them they inspire me. The other band members should also be acknowledged in equal terms. They may sound similar but with subtle difference which takes lot of intelligence and genius.

this songs beautiful I come back like once in a while to recap how beautiful it is

This has to be my favorite of their songs. The first song of theirs I heard was Little Talks, and I REALLY liked that one. Then I heard King And Lionheart, and loved that one too. But this one just gives out such a nice vibe.

Why do I have the strongest urge to hug that man? We must protect him at all costs.

"Cause I'm okay in see through skin I forgive what is within. Cause I'm in this house, I'm in this home All my time" ♥️

Heard this from "The good dinosaur" trailer. I can't thank Pixar enough for everything it gives me. Pure happiness. :')

I always love the people in their videos. They're so comforting.

This song makes me fell like I can do and achieve all and everything. Love from Nigeria. 🇳🇬

dear Ashley banks . I hope you'll see this . when winter past and time was still, you held me up when I had no will. a true friend . family . like hands that held glass together as it crumbled. I hurt you and slipped away through your finger tips . thoughts of you still make me reflect. thank you for loving me when I wasn't perfect

YOU ONLY GOT BETTER OMG NANNA'S VOICE THIS SONG IS SO GOOD
