Of Monsters and Men - Dirty Paws

Το εν λόγω κομμάτι ντύνει μουσικά το trailer της ταινίας "Τhe secret life of Walter Mitty" και ήταν αυτό που στάθηκε αφορμή να γνωρίσω τους Of Monsters an Men.

Η indie folk pop 5μελής μπάντα από την Ισλανδία εισήλθε δυναμικά στο μουσικό στερέωμα 3 χρόνια πριν με την κυκλοφορία του ντεμπούτο άλμπουμ τους με τίτλο "Μy head is an animal".

Οι Of Monsters an Men ιδρύθηκαν το 2010 και την ίδια χρονιά κέρδισαν τον μουσικό διαγωνισμό της χώρας τους Músíktilraunir, που πρόκειται για μια ετήσια μάχη μουσικών συγκροτημάτων. H μεγάλη επιτυχία που είχε το πρώτο single του "Little Talks" τους έκανε γνωστούς παγκοσμιώς.

Στίχοι:

Jumping up and down the floor,
My head is an animal.
And once there was an animal;
It had a son that mowed the lawn.
The son was an okay guy.
They had a pet dragonfly.
The dragonfly it ran away,
But it came back with a story to say.

[Hey]

Her dirty paws and furry coat,
She ran down the forest slopes.
The forest of talking trees;
They used to sing about the birds and the bees.
The bees had declared a war;
The sky wasn't big enough for them all.
The birds, they got help from below,
From dirty paws and the creatures of snow.

[La, la, la,
La, la, la, la.
La, la, la,
La, la, la, la.]

[Hey]

And for a while things were cold;
They were scared down in their homes.
The forest that once was green
Was colored black by those killing machines.
But she and her furry friends
Took down the queen bee and her men
And that's how the story goes,
The story of the beast with those four dirty paws.

[La, la, la,
La, la, la, la.
La, la, la,
La, la, la, la.] x2
