Of Monsters and Men (KYGO Remix) - Dirty Paws

​

Pardon the boxes in the background… I felt myself kind of cramped in with work stuff and a little frazzled that day.  The video starts off at the tail end of another KYGO remix of the song “Angels” by the XX. It wasn’t until the actual song I’m dancing to, “Dirty Paws” by Of Monsters and Men, came on (around 36 seconds in) that I really felt like myself. 

​

This was the third take, as the first two my mind was really the animal.  I doubted myself after about a minute and a half and wanted to stop/ “timeout,” but decided against it, then let myself go a little longer.  It was worth it. 

What I learned: Do it anyways. Trust.

Music: KYGO – Dirty Paws remix (originally by Of Monsters and Men)

Equipment: My GoPro

Lyrics [excerpt]:

Jumpin' 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!
(...)

[end excerpt]

Personal Note: I enjoy the magical realism of the song, originally by Icelandic band, Of Monsters and Men.
