Still one of my all time favorite songs. Many late night paintings were made to this on repeat. I hope they make a strictly experimental album one day. They’re so incredibly creative and talented. And that Luke Steele... 🤤 💜
damn.. even after more than 10 years, you still sound fresh and unique... your music brought me trough many difficult times, thanks for still beeing there :) I Hope you never loose the the joy in making good music likes this! :)
When I first heard this in 2009 I have to admit I wasnt a fan. HOWEVER recently I rediscovered this and I actually really like it alot. It makes me wonder what Empire Of The Sun would be like if they went in a more darker direction with their music/art.
I know it's been 4 years since your comment, but a new Empire record is coming soon and it's possible it will have some darker vibes soooo...stay tuned! :)
The crazy thing is, this is exactly what their live show looks like. I'd forgotten! Saw them at Glastonbury last year and the show was amazing. I remember those women in the porpoise masks! It was so surreal when they came out on stage dancing. Great gig, great music. Looking forward to the next album.
had to reply cuz its kinda strange that u comment on this right now...this song randomly popped up in my head like 30 mins ago and I thought about comment I wrote ...I think I'm psychic lol
Thank you for the background info on this broadcast - I had no idea! That just makes it 1000 times cooler to know the story/idea behind it. And I thought I couldn't like them more.... :-D
Robert Upton I had to check my phone I thought it did skip to Prince , I wouldn't have minded but I knew I typed in EOTS . The best or both now with this track aha
Luke Steele is a contemporary version of David Bowie with a mystical performance and his amazing voice plenty of hypnotic style of singing. I hope to listen to your new songs soon. Don't change absolutely nothing in your way of performing.
I was so looking forward to see those 2 songs live...and they didn't disappoint...just amazing!...the vocals, the lyrics, the dancers...the whole set was one of the best experiences I had...music wise ;)...#lukesteele and his wife are one of the best human beings ever! BTW
***** the way they dress the stile of their music sound very much like the 80s type of music u don't see or hear this kind of music nowadays most people just wanna listen 2 rap or hip-hop which is not bad music but I think these guys have more deep meaning 2 their music than just saying "bitch better have my money" of course I listen 2 all kinds of music n all im saying is that if they would've been around in the 80s they would've brought something unique to that decade.
PHANTASTIK MUSIK well I don't know about them being Gods now but 1 thing's 4 sure. They got Waaay more class n style than most of the stupid shit other singers r coming out with these days
So make up for lost time and enjoy the music, it’s never too late. This music is and will remain timeless, even for those who will discover it in 20 years.
Gente como eu AMO bandas que possuem uma tematica com sentido e historia que forma um universo incrivel isso acontece com Empire Of The Sun,este clipe mesclado com duss musicas ficou INCRÍVEL um dos meus PREFERIDOS❤❤❤❤❤
u guys rock i just can't get enough of ur music i listen to ur music every night and day, keep rockin it empire of the sun also your new album is boss i hope u guys keep walking on your dream to make more music cause u guys are the people that rule the world lol just keep it up
It's official. I fricking love this band. Most original song i've heard in a long time. It's like Prince meets Aphex Twin back in the 80's. two thumbs sky high
First reaction to this song is WTF... then it starts to grow on you... then you start loving it... And THEN *you're f*cked,* because there will never be another song like it. Any attempts to duplicate it would end up sucking.
This is more true and deeper than people may realize. Relevant in the now. May you all have the veil lifted and be blessed. Be free. Be your “me”. You are light. ❤Thank you EOTS
I remember that I never heard of this band. Then one day in 2009, I was online and somehow got linked to this video. I was like "What the fuck did I just watch?" But then I downloaded the album and have been jamming to this song ever since. You never know what's gonna happen until it happens. And that chick with the metallic snake is a BAMF and needs to be in every band ever from now on.
I've loved this song since it came out 13 years ago. I would even play it at bar where I occasionally DJd at for a short while. And I only noticed the ✨Prince✨ influence today 🤯🤯.. I could've sworn he wrote it for them... amazing track nevertheless!
I had to watch a Wendy's commercial about other fast food chains buying their meat from Australia but they don,t! but we definitely enjoy that Aussie music lol
@LEO1WOLF I was still intrigued enough to go back & watch their interview. NOW these galz 'n' guyz do what they love. Who's making positive outta' their lives? Hats off to them! Again, I don't care for it, but my own taste might just be crap, who knows? These people are MAKING ART, I'm just a plinker of a Bassist & dream of the time I (if ever) get to be on stage, make VID's / CD's &/or people asking me for my interview, PIC, Autograph!!! Live & let live, lay off of 'em.
Still one of my all time favorite songs. Many late night paintings were made to this on repeat. I hope they make a strictly experimental album one day. They’re so incredibly creative and talented. And that Luke Steele... 🤤 💜
Luke Steele's new album H3000 came out (September 17th). Check it out. Its great🥰
This is by far the most creative musical composition I've ever heard! It definitely sounds like a music of the future. Second part is awesome!
@@euggie2000 You can definitely tell Luke was influenced by Prince in these tunes.
I had the biggest crush on Luke and Nick when I was a teen 😂
Yas... And that Nick..
His wife is a lucky woman. Can't figure out which one of these characters is him
I wish they will make more experimental music. Still coming back to this song, even in 2024. ❤
Listening to this during the 2024 eclipse!
I'm listening to it now 2024 just because
It's a masterpiece and I don't understand why there isn't another one like it... I really need this
damn.. even after more than 10 years, you still sound fresh and unique... your music brought me trough many difficult times, thanks for still beeing there :)
I Hope you never loose the the joy in making good music likes this! :)
Wow!!!! what a creative and original band, unfortunately they have been underrated; it is time to shine!!!!
Years later, still one of the best of the Empire!
I WILL ALWAYS LOVE THIS MASTERPIECE
So awesome that people felt that Prince vibe as well. I love this performance, it's sooooooooo good.
+BattiManZel Prince meets Flock of Seagulls - amazing!
This song woke me up!!! 12 yrs ago just opened me up ty
Can't stop listening to it everyone around me wants to punch my face
bahahaha😂
HAHAHAHAHA!!! LOVE THIS!
yeah, same :D
Mark haha same
Mark I’m laughing
We should send this music video to the outer space as a representation of mankind.
why haven't you?
YU un u ckuso myuttu
Should we lie to them and tell'em that we're *Mostly Harmless* ....?
lolll
Monty Wright hell no
Fucking amazing band. Everything is PERFECT, the music, the sound, the noise, the costumes, so experimental, so unique!
Totes
Después de tantos años, aún adoro este track, me hace sentir poderosa! ✨🎧❤️
I love that the block dude is using his non block hand to man the keys.
He's my fav xD
Yeah respect to him that must me a mixed up kinda life ya know what I mean
When I first heard this in 2009 I have to admit I wasnt a fan. HOWEVER recently I rediscovered this and I actually really like it alot. It makes me wonder what Empire Of The Sun would be like if they went in a more darker direction with their music/art.
The amazing thing is It still sounds ahead of its time like it's from 2070 or something
@@bigmouthstrikesagain4056 no
It happened to me but with Walking on a dream, now I’m fan, I have the 3 CDs of them.
right ? like a darker tone would suit them just as well as the utopian tone ! i would love to see more unsettling and dark empire of the sun !
I know it's been 4 years since your comment, but a new Empire record is coming soon and it's possible it will have some darker vibes soooo...stay tuned! :)
The crazy thing is, this is exactly what their live show looks like. I'd forgotten! Saw them at Glastonbury last year and the show was amazing. I remember those women in the porpoise masks!

I love the ridiculousness of this song. I have to play it at least twice. The video is perfectly goofy, too.
I can't stop playing this. My neighbors hate me
Still so good after 11 years 📢
SAY IT LOUDER FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE BACK
Avant-garde electro pop. Great excitement! Thank you!
This is so creative and cool. Empire of the sun is a great band and I love their creations.
Guys not scared to put out something different! I heard a really sick remix of this and it was wild. Keep rockin EOTS!
this is what aliens bump in their spaceships haha
+Eric DuBose It's an all out alien party LOL
lmaoo 😂 this got me cracking up on the bus.
this is the realest shit i've read in a while
. .while smoking on mango flavored blunt
had to reply cuz its kinda strange that u comment on this right now...this song randomly popped up in my head like 30 mins ago and I thought about comment I wrote ...I think I'm psychic lol
One of the best things I’ve ever seen and heard. 🎉
2020 y aun la sigo disfrutando como si fuera la primera vez que la escuche!!!
Y nadie la subtitulado al español
I thought to myself WTF when I first heard it, now I love it! Calling all the life forms....
Swordfish Hotkiss Night,
breathing to the beat,
push it in the wind,
Calling all the life forms
Thank you for the background info on this broadcast - I had no idea! That just makes it 1000 times cooler to know the story/idea behind it. And I thought I couldn't like them more.... :-D
this is possibly the coolest thing on youtube.
I love this band. 😍❤
From Italy 🇮🇹
I love Empire Of The Sun, they are just so refreshingly different! Loving this song and the video is just craaaazy!
Sword Fish ladies.... yippee! : D
im going to have this as my funeral song
Pre-record a video of you saying "Now everybody get out!" to play at the end.
:)
😂
Jajajajajaja jajaja jajaja jajaja jajaja fuck you
2021, still brilliant
I'm not quite sure what brought me here, but I also don't want to leave...
One of those hidden gems and if you didn't discover it back in the days it will remain elusive.
Always been more than intrigued with this business. That drummer is so solid! Literally. It's cool.
I was at this video shoot, shot at channel 9 studios in Perth as I remember.
Sean Austin Lewis You are one lucky s.o.b. :-P Seriously....
Nice
@Sean L what is your profile picture from?
Strong Prince influence ..
absolutely sounds exactly like Prince
Has a huge prince influence.
Robert Upton i think thats why I like it so much reminds me of Prince
You think? It made me turn it off and listen to prince.
Robert Upton I had to check my phone I thought it did skip to Prince , I wouldn't have minded but I knew I typed in EOTS . The best or both now with this track aha
I always loved this vid and song.... I feel like dancing a little bit but I don't know which way to move
Yep August 2023, still one ofy faves, my nephew who is into country and bluegrass even still quotes line from this song!!!
This video/song never get old. Every time I watch this, it's just like the first time. Brilliant. So underrated. So amaze-balls.
This song is so Bowie + Prince=AMAZING!!
1hockeysocchick yes!
The perfect combination of artists in one.
Exactly
I danced at this while playing call of duty and my friends was saying wtf is the kind of music i said "My awesome music ". Lol
seriously though, first time i heard this song I was like what is that? It totally grew on me, give them time haha
Luke Steele is a contemporary version of David Bowie with a mystical performance and his amazing voice plenty of hypnotic style of singing. I hope to listen to your new songs soon. Don't change absolutely nothing in your way of performing.
Yes,H3000 out Now, its great!!! Luke is Awesome!!!
Agreed 100%
I was thinking the same thing. I love both artists
que buena interpretacion me gusto la manera de ver las cosas!! saludos sigan dando todo para la musica!
I was so looking forward to see those 2 songs live...and they didn't disappoint...just amazing!...the vocals, the lyrics, the dancers...the whole set was one of the best experiences I had...music wise ;)...#lukesteele and his wife are one of the best human beings ever! BTW
The Death Star: After Hours
This is so funky - it's got me moving!! :D
Hello from the 2024 Solar Eclipse rolling over the Americas
Here again after 13 years.. wow. Still love this.
Man, they are great. They can literally do any type of music they want.
Luke has a new album that came out (September 17th) called H3000. Its different but soooooo good 🥰
I still say they have a Prince and the Revolution vibe. Close your eyes and you can see them on stage at that club in NY.
oh shit I just commented that. we he screams it almost sounds like him
Seeing them tonight at the Hollywood Bowl and I can hardly contain myself!
+PHANTASTIK MUSIK wasn't it beyond amazing!
It seriously was Monica! I has seen them once back in 2010 and their live show just keeps getting better!
The craziest looking video! but somehow I can't get this song out of my head !
I don't know what's more entertaining... the song or the comment section.
Love this,, since the first time this song came out,, and I still love it,, !!!!!!!!
This is some Stanley Kubrick sh1t right here; Haven't heard this song in ages. Awesome.
Good music wrong decade.. these guys would've been gods back in the 80s
***** the way they dress the stile of their music sound very much like the 80s type of music u don't see or hear this kind of music nowadays most people just wanna listen 2 rap or hip-hop which is not bad music but I think these guys have more deep meaning 2 their music than just saying "bitch better have my money" of course I listen 2 all kinds of music n all im saying is that if they would've been around in the 80s they would've brought something unique to that decade.
Jose Vazquez Gods Now in the 21st Century!
Jose Vazquez this so isn't the wrong decade. They are flippin huge. 80's has come back anyway. :P
Jose Vazquez They are Gods now, actually. Besides, EOTS transcend time and space.
PHANTASTIK MUSIK well I don't know about them being Gods now but 1 thing's 4 sure. They got Waaay more class n style than most of the stupid shit other singers r coming out with these days
been listening to this song for 3 days now in 2017 and Im not done yet.
I am embarrassed to say that I am only discovering this band now. Hang my head in shame. How did I not hear of them!!!????
Как тебе повезло. Может наслаждаться как в первый раз😊
So make up for lost time and enjoy the music, it’s never too late. This music is and will remain timeless, even for those who will discover it in 20 years.
This has been stuck in my head all morning... again.
these guys are like... prince meets MGMT. i love it.
with a little lady gaga style sprinkled on top.
Prince + David Bowie
Don't forget to sprinkle in some Pet Shop Boys. Listen to the vocal in Old Flavours... sounds EXACTLY like the Pet Shop Boys.
lol they were peers of MGMT. same era
I heard a MGMT song yesterday and had to check to make sure I wasn’t trippin😂😂😂😭
Gente como eu AMO bandas que possuem uma tematica com sentido e historia que forma um universo incrivel isso acontece com Empire Of The Sun,este clipe mesclado com duss musicas ficou INCRÍVEL um dos meus PREFERIDOS❤❤❤❤❤
this was always a masterpiece!
I love his music, can't stop listening 😍
u guys rock i just can't get enough of ur music i listen to ur music every night and day, keep rockin it empire of the sun also your new album is boss i hope u guys keep walking on your dream to make more music cause u guys are the people that rule the world lol just keep it up
Not just music, it's art.
Saw this at Coachella! They were awesome
It's official. I fricking love this band. Most original song i've heard in a long time. It's like Prince meets Aphex Twin back in the 80's.
two thumbs sky high
Esta rola es la mas chingona...💜 saludos desde mexico.. 🪐🎸👽🖖🏼
i used to hate stuff like this. now i consider it to be like a precious gem. i LOVE this.
has to be influenced by Prince, i hear it in quite a few of there tunes.
RobVoyles definitely prince inspired
First reaction to this song is WTF... then it starts to grow on you... then you start loving it... And THEN *you're f*cked,* because there will never be another song like it. Any attempts to duplicate it would end up sucking.
Saw them in Houston 2014, and this song was played live. They had an evil looking tall figure walking around. It was a trip
This is more true and deeper than people may realize. Relevant in the now. May you all have the veil lifted and be blessed. Be free. Be your “me”. You are light. ❤Thank you EOTS
how this did not get more love is beyond me!!!!!!!!!!!
this is like listening to a modern prince!!!!
God I LOVE Empire of the Sun
He looks like Darth Vader's artsy cousin.
limited edition "liberal arts degree" vader.
I would love to see that interaction. Just him as a canon star wars character. Maybe then I would actually watch the movies.

Love this song tonight and always will love it.
I love everything about this song and video! its so you and me :)
first time i heard this sing was live at the toyota stadium loved it sense then
I remember that I never heard of this band. Then one day in 2009, I was online and somehow got linked to this video. I was like "What the fuck did I just watch?" But then I downloaded the album and have been jamming to this song ever since. You never know what's gonna happen until it happens.
And that chick with the metallic snake is a BAMF and needs to be in every band ever from now on.

Es extrañamente adictiva esta canción, en realidad es una mezcla de dos canciones, me encanta...
que canciones mezcla?
Alan Rivera Breakdown y Swordfish Hot Kiss Night ;)
Alan Rivera ambas del album Walking On a Dream
:O gracias!! me encanta empire y en vivo son magníficos! :D
Alan Rivera De verdad que si! :D
Love this then and tomorrow
This video and song is so fucking awesome!! I'm so late. I thought this was new!! I LOVE IT!!!
April 8th!! @EmpireoftheSun!!
I've loved this song since it came out 13 years ago. I would even play it at bar where I occasionally DJd at for a short while. And I only noticed the ✨Prince✨ influence today 🤯🤯.. I could've sworn he wrote it for them... amazing track nevertheless!
I noticed it the first time I watched the video. 😁
First song lyrics: Breakdown
You gotta let up
Hallucinate
Dream space
Levity
Shadow play
Harmonize
No escape
Pressurize,
Everybody now, 'till they say
Sound it out [Repeat x4]
She's gone crazy
For real,
Or just me?
She's addressed,
But can she sing?
Where's the truth,
In the tongue?
Pressurize,
Everybody now, 'till they say
Sound it out [Repeat x4]
She's gone crazy
You gotta let up,
Or you're headed for a breakdown [Repeat x6]

New eclipse broadcast???
LOS AMO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I had to watch a Wendy's commercial about other fast food chains buying their meat from Australia but they don,t! but we definitely enjoy that Aussie music lol
It's so weird coming back to their music a few some odd years later and seeing how many views their videos are getting, how cool!
Brings me back, but You would think this Video was made yesterday 🎶💓🎶
Luke's got a sick costume
¡Toda una obra de arte!
David Bowie + Prince= Luke Steele
Thank
Empire Of The Sun for this video, when i saw this video first time, it was revelation. After this song i understood what kind of music i like
@LEO1WOLF I was still intrigued enough to go back & watch their interview. NOW these galz 'n' guyz do what they love. Who's making positive outta' their lives? Hats off to them! Again, I don't care for it, but my own taste might just be crap, who knows? These people are MAKING ART, I'm just a plinker of a Bassist & dream of the time I (if ever) get to be on stage, make VID's / CD's &/or people asking me for my interview, PIC, Autograph!!! Live & let live, lay off of 'em.
