    Empire of the sun was the most creative collective of the past decade like daft punk before them. I cannot recall any similar group in the modern era that can compare with this creative output in the mainstream business. Creativity and mainstream don‘t often mix but empire of the sun was that one special star that brought happiness to so many people while staying mysterious like they were from a different galaxy 🚀🌌

    Be easy now, go hiking through the hills in a summer gown
    Raise the kids, peace within and make our sound
    Hear me now, I'm down on knees and praying
    Though my faith is weak
    Without you so please baby please give us a chance
    Make a mends and I will stand until the end
    A million times a trillion more
    Oh oh oh honey I need you round I know I know
    Smile baby don't cry
    I will only fly with you by my side
    Baby I'm cornered now
    Baby don't push me out
    Lately I walk in doubt
    Maybe it's crashing down
    Baby can you save it now
    Oh oh oh honey I need you round I know I know
    Oh oh oh honey I need you round I know I know
    Baby I'm cornered now
    Baby don't push me out
    Lately I walk in doubt
    Maybe it's crashing down
    Baby I'm cornered now
    Baby don't push me out
    Lately I walk in doubt
    Maybe it's crashing down

      Lately I have been listening to their music everyday. Like they are day vitamins. I just can't get enough of them. Luke’s lyrics have a sort of religious and/or spiritual component to them. I really love this group.
