Of Monsters And Men - 'Crystals' & 'I Of The Storm' | Indie88 Black Box Sessions

Of Monsters And Men perform "Crystals" and "I Of The Storm" from their new album, Beneath the Skin.

[MrZumbiGordo]

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 colors bleed and blend with mine
Making waves in pitch black sand
Feel the salt dance on my hands
Raw and charcoal colored 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 colors 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 colors bleed and blend with mine

I love how they always smile at each other after each song.

4:10 pause at this second and behold the best image you'll ever see

[MitchOfLegend]

Honestly, nothing compares to this. This is beauty ❤😭

[jmusing]

Iceland is one of the most magical places on this Earth that I have ever visited! If you have an opportunity to go, GO!

[laurentdevred]

Une belle mélodie, une simple guitare, deux voix pures comme le cristal, qui s’enlacent et nous touchent en plein cœur.

[caboocho]

Arnar playing the guitar is just the bomb! Plus, that knowing smile at the end of "Crystals."

[irvingnerdbaum]

Nanna has a little beauty mark next to her right eye. I just love this band ever since I first heart "Crystals" early in 2015. I have both of their CDs and listen them a lot! They are so unpretentious, unassuming, humble, sweet, kind, and have a universal appeal. They make me want to cry sometimes, when I am listening them, they are so good. I'm not all that young, but their music makes me happy in a young sort of way, if that makes sense. I just love them!!

[pannacotta]

I got goosebumps all over, THIS IS TOO GOOD!

[jessamaetebag]

[PizzaDog]

I absolutely love when he misses that note at 7:20 and just starts smiling in the background.

[GreencampRhodie]

Beautiful souls, beautiful music. Nothing similar.

[timrichards]

I of the storm

If I could face them
If I could make amends with all my shadows
I'd bow my head and welcome them
But I feel it burning
Like when the winter wind
Stops my breathing
Are you really gonna love me when I'm gone?
I fear you won't
I fear you don't

And it echoes when I breathe
Until all you see is my ghost
Empty vessel, crooked teeth
Wish you could see

And they call me under
And I'm shaking like a leaf
And they call me under
And I wither underneath
In this storm

I am a stranger
I am an alien inside a structure
Are you really gonna love me when I'm gone?
With all my thoughts
And all my faults
I feel it biting
I feel it break my skin so uninviting
Are you really gonna need me when I'm gone?
I fear you won't
I fear you don't

And it echoes when I breathe
Until all you see is my ghost
Empty vessel, crooked teeth
Wish you could see

And they call me under
And I'm shaking like a leaf
And they call me under
And I wither underneath
In this storm I feel it

And they call me under
And I'm shaking like a leaf
And they call me underneath
To this storm

[StzaJack]

Is there any more heart warming sight than seeing them all smile when they finish a song?
