Most people that never heard this will say they are late .But with music u are never late you are right on time especially if you a music fan. So I'm right on time. Cause in 2012 I might have not needed this but 2018 I soo do
Hell, I'm surprised they're as popular as they are. I'd never heard of them until Reddit brought me here, never once on the radio or in an ad or anything, but yet they have millions of views - just like a lot of of the bands I hear regularly on the radio. They deserve the popularity though, they're so damn amazing! I've been missing out for years.
I heard them on my local Hard Rock/Metal station the other morning with "You Don't Get Me High Anymore" Was surprised it was on there but I'm glad I heard it.
Phantograms music makes me feel nostalgic, melancholic, and blissful all at the same time. I'm a rap and metal head for the most part, but this music strikes a different nerve for me. They are so badass!
This song is so beautiful, I was painting to this the other day and now every time I look at the painting I hear “keep your body still; keep your body still “
WOW!!! I'm totally blown away...I went to high school with both Sara and Josh and I played in a band with josh named "Grand Habit" I never thought they would get this big.Congrats guys
I don’t know whether this is a song about drugs, a bad relationship, healing a good relationship, or emotional distress....whatever it is about, this shit bangs! Phantogram makes amazing music!
I always viewed this song as someone trying to comfort a loved one who suffered with anxiety, and not fully being able to understand why they go through what they do. It doesn’t have a lack of sympathy but feels frustrated with not being able to allow them to see reason. I’ve had friends with mental health problems and although the worst thing to do is to tell them to snap out of it it’s hard sometimes to watch them suffer and not have them see from your perspective that it will be ok and that they don’t need to struggle. It sounds ignorant, as I have struggled with patches of anxiety myself and knew I was unreachable to many in that period. To me this song captures that sense of not being able to get through and help someone the way you want to. Even bough from your eyes it may seem simple, it is impossible to see in an anxious state. It also captures how draining it can be deal with someone struggling with mental health problems (which isn’t to blame the victim, it’s just a fact in the same way it is draining to deal with someone with the flu. We will always do it, but it can be emotionally and physically exhausting.) i like that, because it’s imperfect, and I know we all go through times where we just wish our loved ones could stop suffering, just like that. I don’t think it is what the song is about, I’ve heard many say they think it’s someone who has anxiety and is trying to rationalise with themselves, which is also very probable and something I have done myself.
REPLACING FEAR WITH CONTENTMENT AND INNER PEACE. GREAT SONG FOR THOSE THAT DO THE SHADOW WORK. AMAZING LYIRCS WE HAVE ALL TASTED. THANK YOU PHANTOGRAM.........................YOUR SONGS INSPIRE ALL LIGHTWORKERS. JULY 21 2023. WE ARE ALL FINE. JUST BREATHE AND BE STILL.
Panic attacks suck😤 Hope youre feeling better mate! Had em on and off for a long time. But now there super rare, things tend to get better, hope this is true for you aswell
To me, this song is a direct message about what is intuition, helpful and what isn't. She's speaking it out plain as day as she usually does as poetic as it comes out. Phantogram is magical & human all at once.
Phantogram think are worthy heirs and successors of the style of music that created bands like Cocteau Twins or IR and other bands like that during the nineties. Of course Phantogram have achieved their own wonderful style.
This is Genius! Wow, how it all comes together and actually sounds great is not something I hear often from this type of song. So many different sounds, noises, rhythms, and her voice holding it all together make one Fantastic song!
I had this song stuck in my head while I was in labor with my son. I didnt even know the song that well at the time but, the pitocin was making me shake uncontrollably lol. and this song has ment the world to me on my bad days and my good days this is one some I have internalized on so many levels
Both of you young ones don't even understand how they are a representation of modern New Wave of the 80s. I mean they're like the perfect blend of what 80s New Wave could have been given a little more time and technology and modern pop rock. And of coarse I love how hard they went with their newest album I know it was a few years ago. And I wish they would come out with a new one
i work in a mill. i play songs like this in my head all day to make the time go by faster so i can get back to my family. it is quite the irony to me that all living thing's most basic instinct is to live, yet most all of us humans want our time to move by faster much of the time.
+pantheryou Man, you need to find a job you love. You shouldn't feel that way. Wanting time to move by faster clearly means you want change. Go seek it out!
This song will always remind me of moving out of NYC. All I think about when I hear it is how if I ever return, everything is going to be different. People will have grown and moved on without me, forgotten I ever existed, and how that terrifies me. But mostly, that even though I've found a love that compelled me to move out of the city, there is still that one person there that makes me think 'What if?'
I agree with, it is indeed a life changing experience especially when someone you know and love can make you happy enough to change your life like that in a positive way.
The dynamic and multi-layered sound Phantogram creates is both wonderful and overwhelming. Every time I hear Phantogram I just turn it up and lose myself in it.
"Don't Move" I'm not your nervous feeling Each time we say goodnight You picture buildings burning to the ground From the basement in the streetlight I'm not your drinking problem A hole is in the sky It's not your heart that you've been thinking of Just the feeling like you're gonna die All you know how to Do is shake, shake Keep your body still, keep your body still All you do is Shake, shake, shake Keep your body still, keep your body still I'm not your paranoia When someone's at the door Virgin fires calling out the throat of a body rising through the floor I'm not your fortune teller I'm not your spinning bed I'm never like you Uncomfortable too This is starting to fuck with my head All you know how to Do is shake, shake Keep your body still, keep your body still All you do is Shake, shake, shake Keep your body still, keep your body still Don't you realize you're fine Oh, can't you see that you're fine And know that you're still alive You know that you're still alive Oh, don't you know you're alive Don't you know you're alive Burning in the sky All you know how to Do is shake, shake Keep your body still, keep your body still All you do is Shake, shake, shake Keep your body still, keep your body still All you know how to Do is shake, shake Keep your body still, keep your body still All you do is Shake, shake, shake Keep your body still, keep your body still
I don't know if it's overthinking, but I believe this song is about depression and suicide. It fits with Sarah Barthel story: her sister committed suicide and during a concert she admitted that most of their songs are about her. The girl is blonde and looks a lot like her sister. The cube looks like the ghost of depression itself. It has a mantel because that represents an human being, a voice (or death itself) who judges and talks with her. She tried to make contact but she hurts herself (blood on finger), she didn't realize what it is going on yet. Once she tried to focus it, the cube falls into "water" (in her subconscious) and became deeper. So depression came to life again with a black mantel. Behind the girl there are 3 other people (3 is a multiple meanings number, in my opinion they could represent the fear of time she leaves behind herself, made of "past", "present" and "future"). Now comes the rope. She is trapped now. In the car death drives, on right there is the fear of "present time" because she is still alive but she is going to kill herself far from home and when she looks at that figure she is really frightened because she has fear to do it but now she cannot stop the process. This could have been a dream, but she wakes up in a bed in the center of the bedroom (not with a side at wall, that makes her feel anxious and like still dreaming). In fact she is floating and she is drived away. She tried to take control again on depression, embrancing the cube, trying to accepting it, but it has grown too much. Next she is again in car and she get confused when she watches herself outside running in "alternative way", "alive" in a way she is not drived out and she can go where she wants. That's the part in the song that says: "why don't you know you're alive". She is her alternative herself. She faced the cube depression that now is huge and enormous. She is determinated now. She focuses on it and clenches her fist, this action represents courage and strenght. So she manages to destroy the cube and with it all the 3 masked fears fade out. Then she returns home and she finally can take the cube because it is part of herself but she can control it again. Last, with cube in her hand she turns the head to you (who watch the videoclip right now) warning you about that story. Sorry for my bad English und multiple fails. I hope someone else got the same meaning out of this videoclip and that I'm not totally crazy. That's, plus, how I have read the lyrics: "I'm not your nervous feeling Each time we say goodnight" (she has fear of the night and she has fear to be alone) "All I have to do is shake, shake" (she has to awake from this nightmare and feel alive again) "Keep your body still" (don't hurt yourself, don't kill yourself) "I'm not your paranoia When someone's at the door" (I can't hurt you like your social anxiety does, please trust me) "There's a fast calling out of a throat of a body rising through the floor" (this looks like someone dying) "I'm not your fortune teller I'm not your spirit guide" (I cannot give you a way out) "I'm never like you" (I can't feel what you feel) "Uncomfortable to This is starting to fuck with my head" (and that makes me so mad, this drives me crazy) "All I have to do is shake shake" (I must remember to feel alive) "Don't you realize you're fine Or can't you see that you're fine And you know you're still alive You know that you're still alive Why don't you know you're alive Why don't you know you're alive "(why can't you believe me that it can be all ok?)
THE SONG IS ABOUT SELF SABOTAGE AND ESCAPISM. IT IS HOW MANY KNOW THEY HAVE A PROBLEM AND TAKE THE ROAD OF VICTIMHOOD TO NOT ADDRESS THE THINGS THAT NEED TO BE ADDRESSED. THE LYRICS ARE ALL ABOUT THE FEARS AND DOUBTS WE ALL HAVE AND HOW WE SHOULD NOT BE CO-DEPENDANT ON THOSE. THE SONG IS ABOUT BEING GROUNDED AND STILL IN YOUR MIND AND IN YOUR BODY.
I found a tea-mug behind an armchair in my living room yesterday. It was a bit grubby so I washed it and put it back in the cupboard over the sink. That was a quite rewarding and useful activity in comparison to listening to a Phantogram song.
Jaimee Bannister I probably won't in future. In all honesty, they are probably a decent band and make a lot of people happy. I just think they are a bit bland and they jdon't do what I want music to do for me.
tigerboy1966 Dear Lord. i wish you so much more happiness in, what appears to be the dullest of moments in your life. such a shame you don't have any taste in music or production. the sampling here alone, should be genius enough to drawn anyone with the minutia of moments in, but......ehhhhhhhhhhhhhh............to each their own. hope your cupboard is nice and fresh now.
***** FOR UR INFORMATION ANYTIME U HAVE TO SAY LOL JUST KNOW U R SAYING SOMETHING EXTREEMELY DUMB AND IGNORANT AND HATEFUL SO HAVE FUN FUCKING GIRLS AND BOYS U ILLITERATE HATEER GET A LIFE U LOSER
That's crazy dude, that was only a day before my concert! They went from Raleigh to Charlotte back to back. Since then I think they've toured all the way to Texas already. :)
They just put out great music and it sucks we don't hear it on the radio. Radio sucks nowadays. People say music today sucks but that's not true, its radio that sucks and always playing the same 12 songs. Back in the day they didn't do that, back in the day they'd play good music.
this is one of those songs that sounds so familiar to me I just don't remember where I heard it from but I'm glad I found it again! cant wait to see this band open for kings of leon!!
I'm not your nervous feeling Each time we say goodnight You picture buildings burning to the ground From the basement in the street light I'm not your drinking problem A hole is in the sky Its not your heart that you've you been thinking of Just the feeling like you're going to die All I have to do is shake, shake Keep your body still Keep your body still Our move is shake, shake, shake Keep your body still Keep your body still I'm not your paranoia When someone's at the door There's a fast calling out of a throat of a body rising through the floor I'm not your fortune teller I'm not your spirit guide I'm never like you Uncomfortable to This is starting to fuck with my head All I have to do is shake shake Keep your body still Keep your body still Our move is shake shake Keep your body still Keep your body still Don't you realize you're fine Or can't you see that you're fine And you know you're still alive You know that you're still alive Why don't you know you're alive Why don't you know you're alive Right in the sky All I have to do is shake, shake Keep your body still Keep your body still Our move is shake, shake Keep your body still Keep your body still

Yup!
The indie genre was so good 2008-2013. This song is so nostalgic and takes me to another world. Will forever love this song!!
Very underrated indie time
Yes agree!!
2009 was the peak. I remember when it got worse when there was much dubstep and later UK garage on the radio, around 2012-2013.

The beats, the sound, the vibe it is all so sick.

I'm not your nervous feeling
Each time we say goodnight
You picture buildings burning to the ground
From the basement to the streetlight
I'm not your drinking problem
A hole is in the sky
It's not your heart that you've been thinkin of
Just the feeling like you're gonna die
All you know how to do is
Shake shake
Keep your body still, keep your body still
All you do is
Shake shake shake
Keep your body still, keep your body still
I'm not your paranoia
When someone's at the door
Virgin fires calling out the throat of a body rising through the floor
I'm not your fortune teller
I'm not your spinning bed
I'm never like you
Uncomfortable too
This is starting to fuck with my head
All you know how to do is
Shake shake
Keep your body still, keep your body still
All you do is
Shake shake shake
Keep your body still, keep your body still
Don't you realize you're fine
Oh can't you see that you're fine
And know that you're still alive
You know that you're still alive
Oh don't you know you're alive
Don't you know you're alive
Burning in the sky
The last stanza is my favorite
from the basement *in the streetlight. the streetlight's basement, somehow?
the buildings are burning to the ground from the fire started above? somehow? it's supposed to be like an illusion or like an impossible object, that later echoes in the second verse about the "virgin fires out the throat of a body rising through the floor"
a torus. in the dude's mind, from the top out, and bottom out, because all he knows how to do is shake shake shake.

Amen to that!
Im Born in 1991, and discovered Phantogram just now because of Billie Eilish
Soo,soo right.. This band will forever be in my favs. Even though I just discovered Them...
Why the hell isn't Phantogram like 10x more popular?

Its working for them. Mainstream will just ruin them.

If main stream don't follow them, it is their loss.

One of the best songs they've ever recorded so far. This song will never get old, it's timeless.
How did you discover them? Better have a stellar story!

Simply one of the best (indie) songs of the century. Mindblowing awesomeeeee!
I don’t know whether this is a song about drugs, a bad relationship, healing a good relationship, or emotional distress....whatever it is about, this shit bangs! Phantogram makes amazing music!
I love. Phantogram because you can't put them into a specific genre. They have their own unique sound.
trip hop, shoe gazing, dark ethereal wave, strong female, sometimes moaning vocals - that's how I go about it anyway, but you're right : )
I just call it pop.

This is by far my favourite phantogram song
Yes
I agree my new favorite band
saralynn Larry Ray You guys should check out Kasket Club, and Chad Valley.
Yeah can't stop playing it.
saralynn easily! This track got me into this band. Nightlife EP was everything!
Love the sample work, I can hear a lot of sample modulation. Fun fun, good ears to whoever put it together.
Right? they're so talented!
I am slapping the entire planet Earth for not telling me about them...They are THE TRUTH!
Lol 6 years later, this made me chuckle ☺️
Did you end up doing it? I haven’t seen you yet 😂
been 7 years since i fell in love with this band and it hasn’t faded
The vibe in the video is exactly the vibe i got when i first heard it. Amazing song.
This composition masterpiece deserves a freakin' GRAMMY!
Especially 2:51 to 3:09.
And the ridiculous changeover at 3:27
thanks for noticing i was like am i the only one hypnotized by it?
My favorite Phantogram song... ❤
How could I live my whole life and just find this song now? I'm addicted, playing this 24/7....
I too am currently draining the dopamine out of this song lol
"Blackout Days" SUCH a good song! and "Mouthful of Diamonds:" good song AND good video!
Love the lighting in this one - evokes 80s horror, specifically Italian giallo like Dario Argento.
Yes, I can definitely see that similarity!
Oh how I love this ...hoping they will perform this when they come to Raleigh.
There is so much esoteric symbolism in this video that it's unreal.

lol yessss!
From what paradigm?

blissed-out perfection--chills on my arms from the breathy vocals, the hypnotic groove and that BIG bottom end...!

this song was literally perfect for e dubble to sample Phantogram and e dubble are legends.
I saw this group on TV and fell in love with the music. Sara or Sarah is a terrific singer. keep up the good work guys.
I will never get tired of this song. xD
It's a tight not group, this a masterpiece
Same , Whenever I listen to this song I feel the rythm. Do you listen to Lana del Rey too? She's my fav too
2023 checking in...still good
each sounds they make was just pure... my favorite band for real, i Hope to see them in France ...
This song has a smooth anxiety to it...
Well articulated..♤☆....patrick
This is Genius! Wow, how it all comes together and actually sounds great is not something I hear often from this type of song. So many different sounds, noises, rhythms, and her voice holding it all together make one Fantastic song!
This song is so slick. Their other stuff is good but this is my favorite one.
This is totally about drug paranoia. I love it! Whenever I listen to songs about paranoia it actually cures bad trips because it works like empathy.
I had this song stuck in my head while I was in labor with my son. I didnt even know the song that well at the time but, the pitocin was making me shake uncontrollably lol. and this song has ment the world to me on my bad days and my good days this is one some I have internalized on so many levels
Sarah's dedicating this song to her sister on the tour. Amazing opener!
The Portland show was sick!
One of my favorites from this band. Reminds me of Dario Argento's "Suspiria".
A little bit anyway.
this song perfectly encapsulates what being in love feels like
God I adore this song!
I recommend you to listen to -
Kaskade - 4 AM (Adam K & Soha Mix)
omg thats one of my faves too. Even saw Kaskade in LA a few months back.
that's a great jam!
I love how all their influences are recognizable in their songs without sounding contrived...very fluid
It’s 2020. I never get tired to hear this song on youtube.
Both of you young ones don't even understand how they are a representation of modern New Wave of the 80s.

This may sound weird but I love the way she moves.
Agreed. Her little shoulder dance is SO cute!
Amazing song, her voice is mind blowing and just keeps getting better heard some of three too
i work in a mill. i play songs like this in my head all day to make the time go by faster so i can get back to my family. it is quite the irony to me that all living thing's most basic instinct is to live, yet most all of us humans want our time to move by faster much of the time.
+pantheryou Man, you need to find a job you love. You shouldn't feel that way. Wanting time to move by faster clearly means you want change. Go seek it out!
true, true. easier said than done though.
+pantheryou yo one step at a time. every step is one step closer to what you really should be doing. just keep taking steps until you're there.
Asiago JameZ i very much agree.
thats because youve conformed
Yup, definitely forgot how much I used to love this song, gonna be on repeat again
This song will always remind me of moving out of NYC. All I think about when I hear it is how if I ever return, everything is going to be different. People will have grown and moved on without me, forgotten I ever existed, and how that terrifies me. But mostly, that even though I've found a love that compelled me to move out of the city, there is still that one person there that makes me think 'What if?'
I agree with, it is indeed a life changing experience especially when someone you know and love can make you happy enough to change your life like that in a positive way.
I'm very interested in your story now. What 'love' did you find outside the city?
Wow! I'm interested in hearing your story, too! You should start a blog!
The dynamic and multi-layered sound Phantogram creates is both wonderful and overwhelming. Every time I hear Phantogram I just turn it up and lose myself in it.
"Don't Move"
I'm not your nervous feeling
Each time we say goodnight
You picture buildings burning to the ground
From the basement in the streetlight
I'm not your drinking problem
A hole is in the sky
It's not your heart that you've been thinking of
Just the feeling like you're gonna die
All you know how to
Do is shake, shake
Keep your body still, keep your body still
All you do is
Shake, shake, shake
Keep your body still, keep your body still
I'm not your paranoia
When someone's at the door
Virgin fires calling out the throat of a body rising through the floor
I'm not your fortune teller
I'm not your spinning bed
I'm never like you
Uncomfortable too
This is starting to fuck with my head
All you know how to
Do is shake, shake
Keep your body still, keep your body still
All you do is
Shake, shake, shake
Keep your body still, keep your body still
Don't you realize you're fine
Oh, can't you see that you're fine
And know that you're still alive
You know that you're still alive
Oh, don't you know you're alive
Don't you know you're alive
Burning in the sky
All you know how to
Do is shake, shake
Keep your body still, keep your body still
All you do is
Shake, shake, shake
Keep your body still, keep your body still
All you know how to
Do is shake, shake
Keep your body still, keep your body still
All you do is
Shake, shake, shake
Keep your body still, keep your body still
Best band I've heard in years -- the only group to capture the zeitgeist in sonic form. NO ONE ELSE has even came close for... decades, probably.
Mind blown!
this song gets me so freaking hype. it needs to be on the radio. perfect summer song
One of my favorites
Uma das minhas favoritas.
You guys did a great job introducing your crowd to this song at Coachella been looking for it ever since that performance thank you 🙌🏽
I don't know if it's overthinking, but I believe this song is about depression and suicide. It fits with Sarah Barthel story: her sister committed suicide and during a concert she admitted that most of their songs are about her. The girl is blonde and looks a lot like her sister.
The cube looks like the ghost of depression itself. It has a mantel because that represents an human being, a voice (or death itself) who judges and talks with her. She tried to make contact but she hurts herself (blood on finger), she didn't realize what it is going on yet. Once she tried to focus it, the cube falls into "water" (in her subconscious) and became deeper. So depression came to life again with a black mantel. Behind the girl there are 3 other people (3 is a multiple meanings number, in my opinion they could represent the fear of time she leaves behind herself, made of "past", "present" and "future"). Now comes the rope. She is trapped now. In the car death drives, on right there is the fear of "present time" because she is still alive but she is going to kill herself far from home and when she looks at that figure she is really frightened because she has fear to do it but now she cannot stop the process. This could have been a dream, but she wakes up in a bed in the center of the bedroom (not with a side at wall, that makes her feel anxious and like still dreaming). In fact she is floating and she is drived away. She tried to take control again on depression, embrancing the cube, trying to accepting it, but it has grown too much. Next she is again in car and she get confused when she watches herself outside running in "alternative way", "alive" in a way she is not drived out and she can go where she wants. That's the part in the song that says: "why don't you know you're alive". She is her alternative herself. She faced the cube depression that now is huge and enormous. She is determinated now. She focuses on it and clenches her fist, this action represents courage and strenght. So she manages to destroy the cube and with it all the 3 masked fears fade out. Then she returns home and she finally can take the cube because it is part of herself but she can control it again. Last, with cube in her hand she turns the head to you (who watch the videoclip right now) warning you about that story. Sorry for my bad English und multiple fails. I hope someone else got the same meaning out of this videoclip and that I'm not totally crazy.
That's, plus, how I have read the lyrics:
"I'm not your nervous feeling
Each time we say goodnight" (she has fear of the night and she has fear to be alone)
"All I have to do is shake, shake" (she has to awake from this nightmare and feel alive again)
"Keep your body still" (don't hurt yourself, don't kill yourself)
"I'm not your paranoia
When someone's at the door" (I can't hurt you like your social anxiety does, please trust me)
"There's a fast calling out of a throat of a body rising through the floor" (this looks like someone dying)
"I'm not your fortune teller
I'm not your spirit guide" (I cannot give you a way out)
"I'm never like you" (I can't feel what you feel)
"Uncomfortable to
This is starting to fuck with my head" (and that makes me so mad, this drives me crazy)
"All I have to do is shake shake" (I must remember to feel alive)
"Don't you realize you're fine
Or can't you see that you're fine
And you know you're still alive
You know that you're still alive
Why don't you know you're alive
Why don't you know you're alive "(why can't you believe me that it can be all ok?)
Thank you for writing all of this and taking the time. This song has been stuck in my head for weeks and I have a history of sh. ❤
THE SONG IS ABOUT SELF SABOTAGE AND ESCAPISM. IT IS HOW MANY KNOW THEY HAVE A PROBLEM AND TAKE THE ROAD OF VICTIMHOOD TO NOT ADDRESS THE THINGS THAT NEED TO BE ADDRESSED. THE LYRICS ARE ALL ABOUT THE FEARS AND DOUBTS WE ALL HAVE AND HOW WE SHOULD NOT BE CO-DEPENDANT ON THOSE. THE SONG IS ABOUT BEING GROUNDED AND STILL IN YOUR MIND AND IN YOUR BODY.
aw man i can't believe it's already been almost 15 years
love this song
Julie Joycauser i would bet you are awesome then
I would bet you are!
Julie Joycauser Wow, is that yr real name, u obviously cause joy
I know that is why it's my last name lol hugs
but this song causes joy so does her voice and I LOVE her hair I have curly hair but if I didn't I would get her haircut :)
I found a tea-mug behind an armchair in my living room yesterday. It was a bit grubby so I washed it and put it back in the cupboard over the sink. That was a quite rewarding and useful activity in comparison to listening to a Phantogram song.
Don't listen to Phantogram then?
Jaimee Bannister I probably won't in future. In all honesty, they are probably a decent band and make a lot of people happy. I just think they are a bit bland and they jdon't do what I want music to do for me.
tigerboy1966 Dear Lord. i wish you so much more happiness in, what appears to be the dullest of moments in your life. such a shame you don't have any taste in music or production. the sampling here alone, should be genius enough to drawn anyone with the minutia of moments in, but......ehhhhhhhhhhhhhh............to each their own. hope your cupboard is nice and fresh now.
you don't... see it
***** FOR UR INFORMATION ANYTIME U HAVE TO SAY LOL JUST KNOW U R SAYING SOMETHING EXTREEMELY DUMB AND IGNORANT AND HATEFUL SO HAVE FUN FUCKING GIRLS AND BOYS U ILLITERATE HATEER GET A LIFE U LOSER
Just saw them tonight in Charlotte and was front stage watching them play this song!
*_Hands Down One of the Best Fucking Night's of my Life!!! :D_*
Exnomer saw them live last Friday night in Raleigh. amazing experience.
That's crazy dude, that was only a day before my concert! They went from Raleigh to Charlotte back to back. Since then I think they've toured all the way to Texas already. :)
I was at the Raleigh show too, so amazing!
PHANTOGRAM is so🔥🔥🔥! Seen them live twice. I love them so much.
when you accidentally discover a band and buy all their albums in 10 mins.
Mamdouh Bashour that part
Good taste of music you have.
Truth
DL via website using RUclips link. Free album heheheehege jk I don't do that teeehheheh
Just buy a Spotify subscription and follow them on there, plus many other artists that make the same style like Odesza and Washed Out
Sometimes when I like a song, I resist watching the music video because I like to retain the vision my own experiences create while listening.
damn just discovered phantogram, im really into their sound
They just put out great music and it sucks we don't hear it on the radio. Radio sucks nowadays. People say music today sucks but that's not true, its radio that sucks and always playing the same 12 songs. Back in the day they didn't do that, back in the day they'd play good music.
1:59 gives me chills everytime.
This song helped my friend who was coming down. Thank you Phantogram
I adore this band!
This song is amazing at making a dance party out of a panicking episode, and great for reminding people who are spazzzing out that they're okay
amo essa música❤ Love this song❤.
this is one of those songs that sounds so familiar to me I just don't remember where I heard it from but I'm glad I found it again! cant wait to see this band open for kings of leon!!
beautifully haunting.
These guys are off the scale, truly magnificent.
I'm not your nervous feeling
Each time we say goodnight
You picture buildings burning to the ground
From the basement in the street light

A hole is in the sky
Its not your heart that you've you been thinking of
Just the feeling like you're going to die
All I have to do is shake, shake
Keep your body still
Keep your body still
Our move is shake, shake, shake
Keep your body still
Keep your body still
I'm not your paranoia
When someone's at the door
There's a fast calling out of a throat of a body rising through the floor
I'm not your fortune teller
I'm not your spirit guide
I'm never like you
Uncomfortable to
This is starting to fuck with my head
All I have to do is shake shake
Keep your body still
Keep your body still
Our move is shake shake
Keep your body still
Keep your body still
Don't you realize you're fine
Or can't you see that you're fine
And you know you're still alive
You know that you're still alive
Why don't you know you're alive
Why don't you know you're alive
Right in the sky
All I have to do is shake, shake
Keep your body still
Keep your body still
Our move is shake, shake
Keep your body still
Keep your body still
I saw Phantogram in 2012 at FPSF in Houston, what an incredible weekend I will always remember.
Shake shake shake.. 🎶🎵🎶
Always in playlist. Thnx Sarah and JP
