Top Comments of this video!! :3
This song describes perfectly that "beastly" emotional side of you that can get out of control when someone hurts you and make you feel devastated and torn apart. And agony of trying to control it and trying to let go. Well, I say, don`t control it. If something hurts you and you feel the need suffer, then do it, you have the right to it. Don`t cage that animal, that will only make it more dangerous. You don`t need to tame the beast, and it will calm down on its own when you realize you have something else, something more within you that the ones who hurt you cannot take away from you.

I don't think it's its intended meaning, but I always listen to this song when I'm feeling anxious. The rhythm (not too slow, but not too fast either), the images it paints: the caged beast, "breathe in breathe out, let the human in", are exactly the things I need to hear to calm down. But I think one of the beautiful sides of music and art in general is that everyone gives it their own interpretation. Thank you, this song has really helped me a lot ❤

Mark my words... Of Monsters and Men will be remembered as one of the greatest bands ever existed. Those kids have too much passion for what they do and you notice it right away. It seems that their debut album was made from a band that already had a 10-year-experience sense. And this new album just started to make their sound more mature and focus on what they want to achieve. Quoting Noel Gallagher when referring to The Smiths (as now I refer to OMAM), "they are a really great band...I mean, they are really, really, really, really great"

I come back to this video once in a while, and I'm astonished by the actor every single time. The way he portrays not only emotion, but, in a sense, a whole story only through his facial expressions is nothing short of bewitching. My favourite part is at 1:30. His expression starts by conveying worry, then is smoothly followed up by hope, some sort of expectation, into a sudden and momentary ectasy of the thought of "letting the human in", just to be overshadowed immediately by self-loathing for even having such a fantasy. Such a wide spectre of emotion is covered in mere 7 seconds. Pair that with the song and you have yourself a pretty darn interesting story. Of course, the way I interpreted the scene, as well as the whole video, could be way off the mark, but nonetheless, big kudos to Björn Stefánsson for making a great song into a darn mesmerizing performance.
