Hasn't everyone wanted be welded to someone else's forehead?

"Of Monsters And Men - Little Talks (Official Video)" (Watch on YouTube)

As close to a Valentine's Day video as you are likely to get from me. I think the morals here are "synchronized walking is a skill nowhere near as useful as pyrokinesis, and the best route to a person's heart is to allow them to weld themselves to your forehead."

The lyrics are super-depressing (try to just enjoy the music). Yhe optimistic version is the lyrics are two living people talking past each other. The more depressing version is that one of them is dead, and a ghost. I don't if the lyrics are more gloomy if he's the ghost, and aware of it, or if she's dead and just doesn't realize it.

(I also try to fit all of Of Monsters and Men's fantastical videos into one coherent world because life, lack thereof)

Here, I offer a better version.

I read that, btw, as "one of them is dead, and a goat."

I am as big a Pink fan as the next person, provided they are not a bigger Pink fan than I am, but how is it better as opposed to similar themes, different treatment?

Oh, we can learn to love again
Oh, we can learn to love again
Oh, oh, that we're not broken just bent
And we can learn to love again

Sunk cost fallacy.

I happen to think it's a better song, but for similar themes.
