"Empire" is a single recorded by the Icelandic indie folk/indie pop rock band Of Monsters and Men. The song was released as the third single[citation needed] from their second studio album, Beneath the Skin (2015). It was written by Nanna Bryndís Hilmarsdóttir, Ragnar Þórhallsson, and Arnar Rósenkranz Hilmarsson (of Of Monsters and Men).
A music video was released on August 7, 2015.[1] It was filmed in black and white[2] and features a young woman who has a very close relationship with another woman. The two of them hang out and it is implied that the young woman looks up to the other woman as a mentor figure in life. Time passes and it is revealed that it was just flashbacks as the young woman - now old - reflects on her life and wonders if she has really changed.
