Of Monsters And Men - From Finner Lyrics






We came here on his back, and we caught your eye.
The salty ocean wind made the seagulls cry.
The rocking of his house had me holding on
But I knew that I was safe from there on out.

And the waves that hit his face marked the past
And the furrows on his skin—oh, how time goes fast.

And we are far, from home but we're so happy.
Far from home, all alone, but we're so happy.

La la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la

After every sunny day
Came a stormy night,
That's when Finner would say,
"Keep your heads held high."

And we are far, from home but we're so happy.
Far from home, all alone but we're so happy.

La la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la

And we are far, from home but we're so happy.
Far from home, all alone, but we're so happy

Hey, hey
Hey, hey
Hey, hey

Hey, hey
Hey, hey
Hey, hey

Hey, hey
Hey, hey
Hey, hey

Hey, hey
Hey, hey
Hey, hey

Of Monsters And Men From Finner Comments
  1. E.... ....

    imagine being at sea, gazing at the water and night sky full of stars while listening to this it would fit so well

  2. O.... O....

    This reminds me of Zunisha, the millennia old gigantic elephant from One piece (an anime) that was cursed to walk through the grand line sea indefinitely, carrying a city on his back.
    Right now in the story, I have no idea what crime he'd committed to warrant such punishment, but every time I hear this song, I think of that fictional elephant and start crying 😢

  3. S.... M....

    Hey look its Sin.

  4. A.... C....

    OMAM só tem hino gente

  5. F.... D....

    😊😊😊😊👍👍👍👍👍

  6. A.... B....

    Is it just me who thinks of moana when I hear this 😂

  7. S.... N....

    Probably the only OMAN song to make me even remotely teary eyed. GJ

  8. B.... ....

    The best music ever.

  9. Z.... B....

    :( :( :( why did you guys screw up Fever Dream? It sounds like an usual pop rock album

  10. R.... N....

    one day I'll be far from home and so happy!!!!

  11. F.... N....

    Swimming in the universe of monsters. fantastic sound.

  12. S.... A....

    Imagine living on that creature
    *a little bit scary as well as wonderful*

  13. O.... L....

    THIS IS A DREAM AND SWEET FAIRY TAIL . VERY CREATIVE WORK. 423 DISLIKE ARE COMPLETELY WRONG AND FULL OF THE SHIT ASSES UNTALENTED AND STINK.

  14. D.... ....

    That whale blends the lines between fantasy and reality

  15. B.... B....

    What is this channel about? I love it so much, how come I haven't found it sooner. Great animations! Keep up the good work! <3

  16. S.... D....

    If we go on, a city on the whales back become reality :(

  17. g.... p....

    Sounds like a Fifa song

  18. G.... G....

    I don't know ifanyone will read this. But I just want to say when I was in the Navy I went on a 6 month deployment to the china sea on an aircraft carrier. It was a very stressful time and I felt like I would be trapped on that ship forever.
    This song used to give me hope, I listened to it everyday. Knowing I would see a shore again, though I may not know which one. And I found peace and felt that though I was "far from home" in the "salty waves" with jets flying over my head, I was happy. Listening to it now, far from the Navy. I can look back with fondness and renewed strength, knowing I persevered through a difficult time. Thanks OMAM, for an oasis amidst chaos. <3

    G.... G....

    Grimes Golden I love scrolling through comments on any OMAM song and seeing beautiful stories like these.

  19. E.... B....

    youtube: how much nostalgia do you want


    me:yes

    E.... B....

  20. m.... m....

    The whale looks like an old Japanese Battleship

  21. S.... A....

    U are the amazing ones in the world
    The video,
    Those amazing creatures,

    The idea u used is incredibly *AWESOME* !

  22. S.... B....

    I love these songs.

  23. B.... V....

    OfMonsterAndMen never fail to make anxiety or sad feelings feel so relieved in the end and all throughout. I've only started to listen to their songs off a leap of faith and it's stuck, love it all

  24. B.... ....

    I was going through this emotionally abusive relationship a while back. I asked my teacher if I could sit outside cause i needed time for myself to think. All of a sudden this girl I use to know come up to me and asked how I was doing and what was wrong. I looked like a lonely mess 🤣. We talked for a tiny bit and it made me feel better. This song was recommended to me at that moment and even though the meaning behind this song has nothing to do with what i was going through, it cheered me up. It made me feel strong. Put my flannel back on, fixed my hair, fixed my shirt, cleaned my eyes, and gathered my shit to go back inside the class. It was such a powerful moment and i wont forget it.

  25. A.... P....

    I can't describe how much i love you

  26. g.... o....

    love this song

  27. S.... w....

    that creature is incredible but I feel like their soundtrack would be dropkick murphy's

  28. J.... E....

    I love this album, great art.

  29. �.... �....

    We came here on his back
    And we caught your eye
    The salty ocean wind
    Made the seagulls cry
    The rocking of his house
    Had me holding on
    But I knew that I was safe
    From there on out
    And the waves that hit his face
    Marked the past
    And the the farrows on his skin
    Oh, how time goes fast
    And we are far from home, but we're so happy
    Far from home, all alone, but we're so happy
    After every sunny day
    Came a stormy night
    That's when Finner would say
    Keep your heads held high
    And we are far from home, but we're so happy
    Far from home, all alone, but we're so happy
    And we are far from home, but we're so happy
    Far from home, all alone, but we're so happy

  30. O.... ....

    Have any of you guys read "The City of Ember"? Its more so 5th grade genre, but this video reminds me of it. A city underground, and a city on a creature in the ocean.

  31. J.... A....

    Whoever does the animations for Monsters and men show make a short movie. 😊😊😊 the animations it really good.

    J.... A....

    The VFX company that was making these is called "WeWereMonkeys" and they actually did a few short movies in that art style :-)

  32. �.... �....

    Это же чудо-юдо рыба-кит!!

  33. P.... F....

    The Monsters are definitely refugees from the War of Birds and Bees in a mystical feyland across an endless sea, and Finner took them to Iceland to blend into the world of men.

  34. A.... V....

    I imagine that Finner helped a city escape because of a war, and he is taking them to a new, peaceful place they can live. The city travels for many days and nights, seeing sunken battleships and burning villages, also destroyed by the war. They welcomed refugees to come with them as well. The people of the city miss their home dearly, and fear that they may never find a new place to live. But they do. They build a new city on new peaceful land. The people of the city are so grateful to Finner, that they write this folksong. They sing it at festivals and to their children. No one knows exactly where Finner is now, but they hope he is a t peace.

  35. M.... M....

    y me alejare de casa en busca de mi propia felicidad, con frente en alto aun con la soledad

  36. L.... P....

    YOU CAN'T TELL THAT WHALE IT'S NOT A DOCTOR WHO REFERENCE

  37. A.... C....

    I have autism and music likes this takes me to my own safe fantasy world <3

  38. T.... P....

    Cool, a Lion Turtle!

  39. N.... R....

    On my mother's side we come from a family of northern Spain immigrants. In the early 1900's they just sailed for Cuba, but we never really forgot our roots. This song reminds me of that, for some reason...

  40. E.... O....

    The Island you're living on would be a giant floating whale. Think on that.

  41. G.... K....

    Reminds me of that great book The Godwhale :)

  42. E.... C....

    Petition for this to be the end credits for Spiderman Far From Home

  43. K.... K....

    I wish the chorus lasted a little longer- it's so beautiful <3

  44. T.... M....

    this from 2:40 is so fuking amazing. Gj... keep going :)

  45. P.... ....

    I wonder if they'd do a cover Ashes of Dreams from NieR...

  46. n.... ....

    Underrated

  47. S.... C....

    Oh lord imagine being in one of those houses, your furniture flying around all the time, going up and down 50 feet consantly as the whale swims

  48. h.... m....

    i think that this song, along with Crystals, is their masterpiece.

  49. a.... T....

    3:02 hey hey

  50. a.... T....

    1:43 laaa lalalal lallaal lalalaaaaAAA

  51. T.... O....

    *Play it at x2 speed.*

  52. C.... 1....

    Ive been having LITTLE TALKS with myself BENEATH MY BED, waiting over SIX WEEKS for this song that I LOVE LOVE LOVE. This video deserves to be seen by well over a THOUSAND EYES... This is one of those songs you can feel deep in YOUR BONES. Weather it's a hike up BLUEBERRY MOUNTAIN, or a visit to your BACKYARD, this song will embed itself into your ORGANS, your heart, brain etc... This is my WINTER SOUND, my MOUNTAIN SOUND, my EMPIRE. This is my YELLOW LIGHT in an ocean of BLACK WATER, because I am only HUMAN, WE all SINK I am a SINKING MAN. It's a SLOW LIFE, and I move SLOW AND STEADY


    a PHANTOM follows me as I stare at the SKELETONS covered with ice CRYSTALS near my LAKEHOUSE. I blaze my illegal NUMB BEARS to try and escape the pain as I enter a deep deep SLOOM. I want to be in HAWAII, I want to have this HAPPY SONG with me. I feel this HUNGER, like WOLVES WITHOUT TEETH do. Their DIRTY PAWS follow their KING AND LIONHEART, searching for the I OF THE STORM.


    I picture SILHOUETTES of A BOY AND A BIRD, floating on PARTICLES. The boy, JOSIE, is playing with SUGAR IN A BOWL, sadly singing "WERE GETTING OLDER"


    This is the power of this song...


    --FROM FINNER

  53. J.... W....

    There videos are awesome, lyrics, they are awesome

  54. s.... ....

    This is just great. I am listening to OMaM for 3 years, and their song will never get old... So calm, so chilled, love it!

  55. B.... ....

  56. �.... �....

    чудо-юдо рыбакит

  57. P.... ....

    Theres insincerity in her voice during the chorus, its as much a part of the chorus as the lyrics are, Everytime I laugh and feel joy on the outside deep down that chorus playing.

  58. E.... A....

  78. M.... J....

    Tradução:
    Nós viemos em suas costas
    E chamamos sua atenção
    O vento salgado do oceano
    Fez as gaivotas chorarem

    O balanço desta casa
    Fez com que eu me segurasse
    Mas sabia que estava a salvo
    Daquele momento em diante

    As ondas que atingem seu rosto, marcaram o passado
    E as rugas na sua pele, oh como o tempo passa rápido
    E nós estamos longe de casa mas estamos tão felizes
    Longe de casa, sozinhos, mas tão felizes

    Depois de cada dia ensolarado
    Vem uma noite tempestuosa
    E era quando Finner diria
    Mantenham suas cabeças erguidas

    E nós estamos longe de casa mas estamos tão felizes
    Longe de casa, sozinhos, mas tão felizes

  79. �.... ....

    This is totally my favorite song! Such a creative chord progression.

  80. A.... V....

    What font are they using for the lyrics? I really like it.

  81. K.... I....

    finner is the whale from niche! a genetic survival game!

  82. C.... ....

    Love this song. Not sure if it's the whale motif or the little bit of accordion, but it reminds me of that old show, The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack.

  83. J.... K....

    The accordion in this song makes me so happy.

  84. s.... ....

    my favourite of theirs, facking love it!!!!

  85. L.... b....

    there are 2 types of people in life.

    The people that like Of Monsters And Men.

    the people that will have a slow and painful death.

    L.... b....

    This implies that we'll die fast and painfully.

    L.... b....

    Aww, man! I want to die really dramatically, though..! XD...

  86. r.... c....

    Am i the only one while listening it sounds like wintergatan

  87. L.... L....

    I renember when I listened this song with my ex gf like 5 years ago. Sometimes I wish I could had her ass back. But well, I should carry on.

  88. L.... 3....

    Is this like skandian wolf ships from rangers apprentice?

  89. I.... ....

    i love how every official lyric video for this band is just mesmerizing looped animations of cool monsters

  90. d.... j....

    Whenever I'm feeling sad or down, I know I can always listen to their music and I instantly feel better.

  91. S.... J....

    Burdo is life

  92. C.... R....

    I can see a lot of liberals like this band😂

    C.... R....

    What does that have to do with anything?

  93. R.... Z....

    The creature reminded me of Maturin, the arch nemesis of Pennywise in the Stephen King's novel, but Maturin is a Turtle in appearance.

  94. M.... Y....

    Playing this at max speed makes it an entirely different song 😓

  95. r.... c....

    I had this dream when I was a child where there was this giant turtle with a city on its back and it turned into a serpent then a giant tree this reminded me of that dream. That dream happened a good twenty years ago and I had entirely forgotten about it until now.

  96. F.... ....

    so peaceful
