I am so excited – I am headed to Iceland!! I didn’t know a whole lot about the country before a few weeks ago, but in the last few weeks I have done a TON of research and I am really, really pumped up about the trip!
Okay, I guess I did know one thing about Iceland… that Of Monsters and Men (below) were from there. And ever since I started planning my trip, I cannot stop listening to them!
I love them, even in all their weirdness… I mean so catchy and fun. I’m addicted! Just how weird are they? Check out their lyrics and music video!
Little Talks Lyrics – Artist: Of Monsters And Men
Hey!
Hey!
Hey!
I don’t like walking around this old and empty house.
So hold my hand, I’ll walk with you, my dear.
The stairs creak as I sleep, it’s keeping me awake.
It’s the house telling you to close your eyes.
Some days I can’t even trust myself.
It’s killing me to see you this way.
‘Cause though the truth may vary,
This ship will carry our bodies safe to shore.
Hey!
Hey!
Hey!
There’s an old voice in my head that’s holding me back.
Well, tell her that I miss our little talks.
Soon it will all be over and buried with our past.
We used to play outside when we were young,
And full of life and full of love.
Some days I feel like I am wrong when I am right.
Your mind is playing tricks on you, my dear.
‘Cause though the truth may vary,
This ship will carry our bodies safe to shore.
Hey! Don’t listen to a word I say!
Hey! The screams all sound the same!
Hey!
Though the truth may vary,
This ship will carry our bodies safe to shore.
You’re gone, gone, gone away; I watched you disappear.
All that’s left is a ghost of you.
Now we’re torn, torn, torn apart; there’s nothing we can do.
Just let me go, we’ll meet again soon.
Now wait, wait, wait for me, please hang around!
I’ll see you when I fall asleep.
Hey! Don’t listen to a word I say!
Hey! The screams all sound the same!
Hey!
Though the truth may vary,
This ship will carry our bodies safe to shore.
Don’t listen to a word I say!
Hey! The screams all sound the same!
Hey!
Though the truth may vary,
This ship will carry our bodies safe to shore.
Though the truth may vary,
This ship will carry our bodies safe to shore.
Though the truth may vary,
This ship will carry our bodies safe to shore.
