“Phantom” is a song that was performed by Of Monsters and Men in 2010 when the band won the
Músíktilraunir, an annual music competition in Iceland. The track failed to make it to the tracklists of their debut album, My Head Is An Animal which was released in 2011 and internationally reissued in the...
[Verse 1: Nanna Bryndís Hilmarsdóttir]
All this time wasted and all this time gone
You are still waiting on me
Everytime you leave the house, remember you're not safe
But you are hardly ever
[Verse 2: Nanna Bryndís Hilmarsdóttir]
All those times that I could swear I heard you speak

'Cause you are hardly ever happy
[Instrumental Interlude]

In order to love, you have to be all you can be
Mostly you have to love yourself
[Instrumental Interlude]
[Verse 5: Nanna Bryndís Hilmarsdóttir & Ragnar Þórhallsson, Nanna Bryndís Hilmarsdóttir]

You are still waiting on me
Oh, but if I could choose, I would choose not to feel
'Cause I am hardly ever happy
[Outro: Nanna Bryndís Hilmarsdóttir]
I am hardly ever happy, mmh
Mmh
I am hardly ever happy
[Instrumental Outro]

I wrote ‘Phantom’ when I was 16 years old in my childhood home in Garður. It was one of those songs that belonged to an era before the band but also these first few years that the band was forming and finding our sound. We never recorded it but it was always very important to our history and believe...
The music video for “Phantom” is constructed in a way that resembles a friendly interaction between Of Monsters and Men’s present and past.
As the song title suggests, we can see a ghost. This ghosts is coloured in the same color scheme from FEVER DREAM’s lyric videos, and is wandering around well...
