Thanks to their incredible music and vision, as well as the outstanding direction of Alejandra Molina and Kabir Rojas at Mero Estudio, and the collaboration with Dreambear Studios, we were able to bring this enchanting world to life.

The Oh Hellos, I dont know if you will read this, but you are the best band I have ever listened to. I found you guys early this year, and I basically have listened to you nonstop since then. I have your beautiful songs stuck in my head every day, I have tracked down every concert video of yours on KZread, and I use your songs to help me through tough times when im doubting my faith. Your song Lay Me Down makes me want to cry every time I listen to it, and Dear Wormwood is my favorite song of yours. I listen to it almost daily to remind myself who I am, and all that Jesus has made of me instead of my demons. Thank you so much for your music, I really hope you can make more one day ❤❤❤

I wonder why millions want to move to the western world, the part of the world that receives most immigrants? The part of the world BUILT by Christianity, and the dire consequences seen in a culture that is starting to forget that. Christianity, the religion that worships God as coming to earth as a Humble, suffering servant, while making it very clear evil will be punished in the end is… toxic? Also, the lies part is greatly warned about in the Bible, let’s read the epistles.

@@bikesrcool_1958 Christianity is a vile system of abuse masquerading as a savior. Ignoring the fact that there is no actual observable, falsifiable, testable evidence, why anyone would wish to worship a mob boss who threatens you with eternal torture unless you give him what he wants. Christianity (and most religions, really) has for centuries been a monument to the arrogance of man. You make unfounded assertions about the nature of reality, provide no actual valid evidence, refuse to listen to ANYthing that disagrees with you, then walk around whining about how oppressed you are. You devalue the lives and worth of already marginalized groups, like the LGBT community, for no reason other than your own personal broken moral compass. You try to force your beliefs on others via the government, like with Roe V. Wade, or with programs like gay conversion therapy camps. It should stop at being willing to believe anything without evidence. If you can be convinced to believe in something without evidence, you can be convinced to believe in ANYthing without evidence. Once you sabotage your own epistemology, all it takes for you to be convinced is for someone to say the right things to confuse you into believing. Your religion teaches you that, despite having done nothing wrong, you are inherently broken, evil, and worthless. That it's only through the grace of God that you may be redeemed. That because something absolutely outlandish and logically impossible happened, with no evidence to support it, we must strive to seek forgiveness from God. 1.) Any being deserving of worship would not expect or want it. 2.) Any loving and merciful being would not intentionally inflict suffering or death on another they love, or threaten them with infinite punishment for finite crimes. 3.) Any logical God who wants Humanity to both know of their existence and worship them wouldn't reveal themself to only a handful of desert nomads, or allow their only direct teachings to be written down in a language they know will die out soon, and have to be questionably translated later. 4.) The existence and history of Lucifer (someone who knew very well both the existence of God and the full extent of God's power) prove that, if the god of Christianity revealed themself to humanity in no uncertain terms, we would be under no obligation to worship them, even if the question of their existence is answered.

Been an avid lover of you all since I was 14 (now 22) and I just wanted to thank you for creating art that is so intricate sonically and lyrically. Every new phase of life and myself I find myself in or approaching, your music has/brings new meaning.

It says “smeared with oil like David’s boy”, obviously referring to someone other than David if it’s his “boy”. This refers to how in prophecy and in the genealogies listed in two of the gospels, Jesus is the descendant of David. It also says “there will come” throughout the song. This can be seen as reflective of either the prophecies telling of Jesus’ coming before his birth, or as referring to the second coming which is still in the future. I hope that makes sense!

Just discovered this song today, so this is convenient timing.

This was beautiful to watch. This was the first song from your band that I listened to. To see it brought to life in a lyric video moves me beyond words.

Thanks for releasing this, so fun for the song to come to life like this. Hope to see/hear some more news and releases soon, love you guys!

I'm crying this was perfect!! I love how you post during October, around this time, because it's close to my birthday and it always brings my such immense joy to see new content from you! Your art and songs have inspired me through the years and helped me in my darkest moments. I can only Thank you ❤

I'm so excited for you! Your songs are amazing and it was so exciting to see that "Soldier, Poet, King" has an official music video! I found your band through the many animation memes of "Soldier, Poet, King". I went through your entire "Dear Wormwood" album one afternoon and just kept listening. This year, the Oh Hellos is my second most-listened-to band on Spotify. Both for me and my sister. Thank you for creating such amazing music and I wish you all the best in your future! ❤

I actually discovered your band through one of these animations and instantly fell in love with all of your music. I listen to it when I drive, when I write, clean, paint fences, really anything. I love it so much and Dear Wormwood is my favorite album

I love this!!! Dear Wormwood was such a powerhouse of an album, and this song was just so sweet. I would absolutely LOSE IT if you guys could do more of your songs! I was just telling my friends the other day about the Four Winds albums and telling them to check you guys out, and this is perfect.

I've loved this song for the longest time, and I am in love with this video as well!! The art is so lovely and a fun visual to go with the song, and the three of them dancing together at the end of the song brought me so much joy!!! Thank you so much for this

This is awesome! I was just talking to my friend yesterday about how y’all hadn’t posted anything in a while, and what a way to come back! Truly awesome animation for one of my favorite artist’s best songs

Thank you Tyler and Maggie and everyone else involved for all the beauty you’ve brought to the world. I’ll be listening ‘til the end ❤

This song was the first song I heard from y’all, and I’m so glad I found your music! This video makes me feel so nostalgic and delighted!

This is so beautiful and fitting for the song! It’s such a lovely way to represent an equally lovely song!

Oh my gosh, after all the fan animations of this awesome song, there's finally an official one! It looks amazing I've only known them for 3 minutes but I love the silly dancing puppet people. Top tier stuff (as always)

I absolutely love this song, and all of your work. I first found out about you guys through Annapantsu’s cover of this song 😅 and I listened to the whole Dear Wormwood album after that. Three years later, I own the tenth anniversary vinyl album, and I have a tattoo dedicated to your music. It’s been a real comfort in some darker times in my life, so I’m glad to see this song become popular! I urge anyone reading this comment to please listen to the rest of their music! It’s all just as good, if not BETTER!

I love this! I'm so glad you guys are still making stuff. I love how symbolic and meaningful your music is!

To all who had made those animations, to that first animation I saw and the last one before I fell in love with this band, thank you greatly. “Soldier, Poet, King” will always have a special place in my heart, and I can guarantee you I am not the only one with such a mindset. So oh, hello, dear animators of this masterpiece.

I randomly came across this song while I was travelling in the Scottish Highlands. Such beauty! Such a gorgeous song with the scenes set in my memories now ❤

Great job you two! Soldier, Poet, King is one of my favorite songs you guys made!

I was just relistening to Dear Wormwood a ton for the past few weeks, and even mentioned "Soldier, Poet, King" to some of my friends the other day being a song that goes beyond the scope of the concept album. This is truly a surprise and I love every moment of it! I do thought that this will also lead to a remaster of the entire Dear Wormwood album, but this alone is truly amazing. Sure hope to hear more from you guys soon! By the way, the art in this is majestically created! You don't have to go overboard with a lyric video, but this is something more. You guys are truly amazing :)

This song led me to The Valley and Dear Wormwood as well as the rest of your music. I love this feeling you capture, though I have no clue what your genre is even called. Both of the aforementioned albums have brought me peace, clarity, healing, inspiration, and (most influentially) closure regarding my religious trauma. Thank you for putting such beauty into the world. This little animation perfectly captures how I first imagined it in my head. Plus with the three little guys looking exactly the same, it helps allude to the original meaning of the song. Brilliantly done! ❤❤❤

If you want an album series about people coming to peace with their experience of western Christianity, you *NEED* to listen to their Four Winds quartet. Like, immediately. Notos, Eureus, Boreas, and Zephyrus are the four EPs, and the set is just over an hour long. A major theme of the album, and quite possibly the main theme, is the singers' journeys through a spiritual reconstruction after seeing the harm that Christians had caused in the world, crying out for change, and finding new peace. It's absolutely magnificent, and I only found out about it this month, but I must've listened to it half a dozen times by now. My favourite song in the set is Zephyrus, but if you have religious trauma, please PLEASE go listen to Passerine! But honestly, you might love the whole thing. To quote the band's page, it was an "interrogation of [their] own beliefs", and how they wanted to "ask the winter to rekindle [them] into something warmer and softer than who they've been". It's incredible. Anyway... I think folk is the main genre. I've heard people saying indie folk and folk rock both fit.

You are a travelling historian, seeking stories in ruins and destruction. You came upon a town, it looks dirty, poor and destitute but the village folks still welcome you with a smile and enthusiasm greater than the residents of a bigger city you've been through. 'Certainly suspicious' you said to yourself while walking into the town with a smile on your face and vigilance in your heart. You can remember that this region was held by a tyrant king, abusing his power to bleed dry every town and village their coffees, more like a bandit if you ask me. As you walked around the village, you noticed that dusk was close and decided to head into the sole tavern of this place. As you're about to open the tavern door, you hear a lot of voices inside, I know it's not unusual for a tavern to be noisy, but no, they are singing, happily. I walked in and saw what looked like a band singing and playing their instruments in the middle of the tavern, singing a song I've never heard while the villagers sang along. I shrugged and walked to the counter to order a meal and a place to stay for the moment. As I continued listening to the song, I couldn't help but notice the instruments the band members were using. They're quite unusual for a simple band. The only lady in their group was using a harp, a man with great stature and height was using a bag-pipe and the last man, or I might even say, a boy, is using a violin embroidered with grand designs. As the curiosity got to me, I asked the tavern keeper about who they are. The answer really baffled me, The boy was the crown prince before and usurper took the throne, the huge man was the royal advisor and the prince's teacher for music and instruments and the lady was the only remaining knight of those few who helped the prince escape the sacking of the palace. The song they're singing is not about the usurper, it is about the return of the young king with his companion, and this is also the reason why the people of this village were always happy even with their circumstances, they still have hope. You're an historian, looking through the stories of ruins and destruction to find the history of the land. Maybe you can join them? For what better things an historian might do, other than creating history himself?

This is by far one of the best lyric videos I’ve seen until now 🔥👌

Super excited for this!!

I love them just spinning around the countryside at the end. Maybe it's easier to tear down a city when you are very very dizzy.
