I saw them on minneapolis, i even met them the night before their show. They offered to buy me a beer. Genuine people and still remains my favorite band of all time.

Love that this band is still going strong! I saw them in 2013 at Coachella and they exuded such great energy, it was a simple and straightforward set (no lights or pyrotechnics or anything fancy) but their music struck such a wonderful and harmonious chord. One of the best concerts I've been to, hands down, the vibe was great. Plus Nanna was so sweet and thanked the crowd after every song, it was very endearing.

Thank you to the producers of this piece for putting together wonderful memories of this great band. The new pieces played on the CBS show this morning are just beautiful! Definitely a download gift suggestion for the holiday season!

I first heard their music in a local bar. First it was Little Talks. Then it was Mountain Sound and then I was hooked. Then I discovered Slow and Steady and I’ve now listened to that song a thousand times if not more. I’m thankful that Beneath the Skin came out because Black Water is my current favorite song of theirs. The music videos for several songs off that album were beautiful and inspirational to say the least. Now lately I’ve been enjoying listening to Visitor. I’m very excited to hear whatever they have for the future.

The first time I heard them was the ELLEN SHOW. Loved their song Empire, can't get enough of that song. The video was EXCELLENT for that song.

When I heard Alligator It proved to me and the World that Of Monsters and Men are the REAL DEAL. It's such an amazing, well written song. As a musician I am impressed. I love all of their break through songs. But Alligator. WOW!!!

Sad songs are poetic and can be primal for me. Its a part of life and i grasp my sadness and happiness too. Their music is very moving in many ways. Its healthy to feel pain as well as love, all emotions have their time.

Of monsters and men used to be my lullaby music while on road trips when I was little. I remember sleeping in the way back of my mom's minivan and the speaker was right next to me. And little talks and Dirty paws would help me sleep

Personal l Love Your Music, not only does it differ from the local music and provide a smooth motivation tunes but l honestly think that you shouldn't stop playing, as the guitar plays try just a little bit of some violin as well, sweet sadness does give peace in a room.❤🎉

Nanna Hilmer's daughter? I tried to get a little of information about it, someone knows about it? Who was she?

@ilkkajarvi8189 Жыл бұрын

It's just her last name, Hilmarsdottir, meaning Hilmar's daughter. That's a common way in Iceland to form a last name. So Hilmar must be her father. Same thing for men would be Hilmarsson, Hilmar's son.
