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)

I am rather fond of Dirty Paws myself.

edited to add that the video isn't that special but I like the song. Perhaps because there was an animal who had a son who would mow the lawn. I get wistful.
