The Cat Empire - No Longer There

[luci666fer]

know u'll like it

[MrThomPS3]

Great song.

[niekvlug]

Thumbs up for this beautiful song and other singers who write their own songs!

[MollyDurnin]

there is something so kind and genuine about his face and the way he sings this : )

[Cigana090]

just beautiful, cant wait till they come to the uk

[PrinceOfSpane]

@Cigana090 When's that?



[Cigana090]

@PrinceOfSpane  I have NO idea!... but I'm waiting!!!

[SouthboyHimself]

This band is so unic...

[wowlturkey]

21 people auditioned to be the couch on fire

[RainCards]

The guys are very original and I WANT to like them a lot, but I just really don't find that the singer's voice is that enthralling... great group, all the same.

[sirmarksalot]

His voice.

[noodlehat]

Australia is the worlds largest exporter of raw wool..jus sayin

[dgabbless]

@ddiizzii chill out mate. why're you having a go at him hes saying that they are good artists.

[eddbuckpitt]

I'm sorry Austrailia, but i dont think your ever gonna export any thing better than these guys! P.s. Fosters is minging!!

[dpetterson469]

this music is soo lame they should be playing on some sort of little kid show

[bignaamadea]

@dpetterson469 oh my god, i hate comments like these and people like you-.- if you don't like it then just click this fcking red cross of your window and close the page. why can't people just live THEIR life and let other people life their own.. do you always have to say that you don't like? your a bloody idiot, sorry....

[scootaymildo]

@dpetterson469 Maybe you could add it as a soundtrack to them videos of little girls dancing saved on your profile then. I really hope for your sake your not really 39yo, cos if so that's really weird

[WoodOnWheelsTV]

There are so many good bands out there today the cat empire being only one of them and some how they are all hidden under the huge piece of shit which is American pop music.

[noodlehat]

@WoodOnWheelsTV

true that

[fakespotter]

@WoodOnWheelsTV well said

[13katty13]

@WoodOnWheelsTV

Ditto

[andrei0892]

@WoodOnWheelsTV you are right, thumbs up.



[beforeinotice]

Brilliant song and brilliant video!

[yole357]

[ellebellesupergrover]

[hobbermc]

[chrislawler87]

[Hypohanable]

[samsomio]

no solo canta bien, la banda esta re buena, las canciones estan re buenas, y EL CHANGO ESTÁ RE BUENO!

APLAUSO Y MEDIO PARA THE CAT EMPIRE!

[Wallrat]

@PeanutAwesomeness ... In Late 1999, Ollie McGill and Felix Riebl decided to start a band from a rooftop in St Kilda. Ryan Monro was called and asked to join on bass shortly afterwards, and the trio had its first rehearsal in a red library at Felix’s parents house. In a tea break, the question of a name arose, and the picture drawn by Felix’s brother on the kitchen fridge provided an answer. There were three cats wearing crowns and one had a gun, and the title was ‘The Cat Empire’.

[QcLongboarderJr]

The guy with the guitar has a godin, Quebecers proudnest!

[PeanutAwesomeness]

GUYS TOKIO HOTEL ARE AWESOME!

PS. WHY ARE THEY CALLED CAT EMPIRE?

[ROBtimesTEN]

@PeanutAwesomeness cos they fuckin felt like it?

[Louisempt]

@PeanutAwesomeness "The band is named after a picture of the same name, drawn by Max Riebl (Felix's younger brother). It's a picture of a group of cats disguised as thieves and gangsters." That's what their website says.

[dom1752]

Aw, Felix, you fox.

Of course, the music is ingenius and immensely good as well, ha ha.

[pipparoonie]

love this song u tube u were correct i do like it

[TheCorycollister]

[deadchord]

[639644553]

THEY'RE THE BEST<!!!!!! COME TO SPAINNNN

[TexasTimmy777]

Felix went to my school, mate is good friends with him!

[n1ms1m]

CAT EMPIRE 4 LIFE



[Finley4EvA]

why do they sound so different in this one than in all their other songs? (Like: miserere or The Car Song??)

is that the same band or did they change the lead singer??

Could someone tell me.. thanks

[Cyrmic]

@Finley4EvA They have two singers! But it's the same group, yes :) They are so multi-faceted =P

[Finley4EvA]

@Cyrmic

I see, thanks for responding.. and well yeah they really ARE (:

Still I'd love to hear more songs with this singer haha

in anyway i like the other one aswell

but this one, probably more^^

[FleurOlivia]

I Want to marry this song please?

[Youdontwantmyusernam]

two shoes is one of my favourite songs

[laugh808]

I can never get sick of listening to this song!

[5698andrew]

Great song.

I could listen to this all day!

[magicmuso]

The lyrics kinda remind me of Viva La Vida... but this is far far far better :) Love this song <3

[pinnoyfan]

Wish these guys continued making songs..

[DoubleMoDj]

@pinnoyfan they do, they have a new album coming out this year

[eFilomeo]

@pinnoyfan as far as i know, they are making another album shortly.

[henragpwns]

[evolv987]

does anybody know if these guys are playing in the south of wales!! i really want to see them live. i've got all there albums and want to skank for really.dx

[evolv987]

there is no better band than these guys!!

[WildThingUnderBed]

@evolv987 I like them, but Five Iron Frenzy is better

[michaelg2460]

the first concert i went to was the cat empire

[hyperpwner00]

these guys rule! I thought that was the only guy that listened to them though

[algozino]

@hyperpwner00 thats what I thought. nobody i know listens to them.

[Metanator]

@algozino i know eh?!

[WildThingUnderBed]

@algozino In Portugal, almost every university people knows them

[laugh808]

These guys are sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooo awesome!!! :)

[michaelg2460]

when me and my mate saw them there where alot of kids younger than us there which is always good to see

[michaelg2460]

I saw these guys live at Mulimbimby for my 13th birthday...it was awsome

[lerougeetlenoir5]

@michaelg2460 I keep hoping they'll come to Los Angeles - or anywhere remotely near...they never do. (Except for a gig at a small club here a couple of months ago that I found out about AFTERwards, sniff)

wish I could see them live!!!

[mgaff100]

these guys kick ass

[limbo2189]

heard these guys on a surf film wen i was about 15, me n all ma m8s love em! even got ma mum into em!

[maceyes19]

They didnt have a guitar player when i went and saw em live in winnipeg

[JNStuttard2]

What's Felix done to his hair? :( I loved his dreads! Amazing song, so nice, I'm 17 and from GB and I worship these guys! Can't wait to see them live!

[imsofreakingninja]

I thought i was the only teen who loved them...well i am in america so i probubly am the only teen who loves them XD

I wish i could see them live :(

[lilscurz]

i live in america too and i love them =)

[AlphaBetaParkingLot]

I was going to say your not the only one, then I'm not a teenager anymore....

Man,,, being twenty is wiiiiierd

But yeah they are fantastic

[imsofreakingninja]

Im sorry for your loss :(

R.I.P. Being a teen <//3

[gibbo191]

props to all the groms diggin this tune :D

glad to see some young kids know there beans when it comes to good music

[kaiscender]

maravillosa

[XChurisoX]

This is their best music video i think

[philfy200]

fav cat empire song. brilliant tune

[willrobson8125]

@boomer4666 because the majority teenagers don't understand why this music is good yet...and they are easy cash for record companies.

[Amzybabee1996]

Haha, I agree with your comment! But I'm only 13/14 but I lovee this music! Great tunes! But then I guess I come from a slightly differrent background. Shame my spelling isn't good! Haha, yea so sorry about that! I still wonder, what's gonna happen to the generation before me, will they get better or worse!?

[XChurisoX]

@Amzybabee1996 Yeah, I'm 12 and I really like this music too!! My older brother is 16 and this is one of his favourite bands.

[Amzybabee1996]

@XChurisoX Haha, good to hear from sumonee with good taste!! xx

[washytown88]

100% agree

[Riverstarry]

@boomer4666 Because then it would be mainstream and overplayed and you would be posting this comment on britney spears page and not the cat empires

[PainlessHippo]

Because you'd probably hate it then

[MrThompson626]

@boomer4666 I speare Britney's and piss in the Timberlake XD

[potoherniazzz]

@boomer4666 because it would then become mainstream, in turn makeing you no longer like them

[135328]

@boomer4666 If they play this on the radio, they will become mainstream, which is nothing is bad.. but people like you that are soooooooooooo indie and hipsterish or so you claim will hate this as well. Not everything that's mainstream is rubbish you know? Stop trying to be sooo fucken unique, no cares if you hear it first. Good music is good music, regardless of the popularity.

[boomer4666]

@135328 i didnt write this T___T it was my frigging little brother! we share computers

[tealovetreeheart]

@135328 They do play Cat Empire on the radio actually (on Triple J in Australia)

[nathand612]

@boomer4666 Because then this would be mainstream D:

[aradisia]

Love it!

..But Sol y Sombra is still the best song :D

<3

[ulfisme]

great soul =) i like it =)

[hippymusicman88]

I absolutely love cat empire... but I didn't care for this song at all... it lacked that oomph that is always associated with most cat empire songs..

It IS quite emotional though... If he said "here we go again" as oppose to hear it goes again... i would've connected with it Muuuuch more.

[7ofakind]

you lack oomph :P

[MitzaStroia]

1st! Coldplay just sux:)) The Cat Empire rule!!:P

and I really think this song is about love... this guys really are good people. I wish i'll be as happy as they are:)

[rockboy12346]

listen to both but i like cat empire more

[wubbyfoo]

no no no you have it wrong my friend about one of those things coldplay rocks! and the cat empire Rocks!!! infact i just got back from one of theyre concerts you ahve to see them live

[lauradyson415]

coldplay are reli good nd so are the cat empire my aunt worked wit coldplay and there really nice and unreal dnt dis other ppls work jus cos its not ur taste in music

[ichgolovernumber1]

ur aunt is awesome!! the cat empire are my fav band but coldplay are second fav!!

[Wallrat]

@MitzaStroia - Love? This song is about global warming and the choices and challenges facing us. "to deny or to despair are really just the same - everything in between means we have to change"

That's why in the visual of the video they go from a boat in the water to a desert world.

[kromann15]

its nothin like Coldplay ffs

[lastcatamount]

For the record this sounds nothing like coldplay...

[bittersweet4321]

<3 <3 <3 <3 <3

This is like Coldplay + hot + extra awesome. wooooo!

[littleladybirdgirl]

well said! I agree! :)

[Minipokes]

*tries to think of something further from coldplay*

*fails*

[lastcatamount]

This song is beautiful. Love how he highlights how human excess endangers our future.

[margotzoo]

BUtiful even I prefer songs like how to explain or the charriot. this is more... quiet ^^

[ShaktiLila]

Magic

[ferret12]

THEY'RE ON A BOAT!

[WildThingUnderBed]

@ferret12 Where's T-Pain? xD

[MrEggBox360]

@ferret12 no shit sherlock.

[cristophepetitclerc]

BITCHES!

[pacificanai]

@ferret12 Love you.

[ferret12]

@pacificanai Love you too :D

[timkillzu]

LOVE THE SONG!

from

america(the ones who still maintain sense)

[drryangibbons]

terrorist.

[vendettaa91]

XDDDDDDDDDD

[mefreeiam]

wears your paddle

[elenaeam]

hey guys! I'm looking for a song and no longer there is so similar (till 0:45) the artist has a very husky voice and the melody at the beginning(the accord) is played throughout the whole song (it's an old song btw)!!!!

please can anybody help me?? I know it's little information...

[lastcatamount]

I know the lyrics msg me fi you want them

[Molibondorundo]

I imagine sort of the msg but i really want to know and other version , wich on eis your version?

[SeanCasey1974]

Not a coldplay song by any chance??? Similar sounding voices

[elenaeam]

no certainly not, it's a very old song (and singer) ...

[lastcatamount]

You're an idiot, felix sounds nothing like chris martin...

[ihavenoclue921]

perhaps "what a wonderful world" by louie armstrong?

[beemackie]

sorry mate it just sounds like felix to me

xoxox

[greendaysfan2468]

this is a song to chill too

[maecowmoo]

Ahaha thats kewl!!!!

how'd they get inn the dessert? lol

[urge53]

you got to be kidding!

[Icy4ever2008]

It's desert.

And i agree with urge53.

Lmao.

[heydunkydoodle]

monotone,monotone,monotone

[Calimero14112]

fantastic and brilliant

[erin303mezzo]

wow. The singer is hot! Plus, I think the video is very cool. Great music Cat Empire! I will be getting your stuff off itunes!

Cheers:)

[blesicell]

Why the hell does it alwas has to be anti-mainstream?there is a reason why people like The Killers,Maximo Park,The Kooks, etc. are so successful...because it's good music and people like listening to it, so what's the matter with "mainstream"?

[blabloobblubb]

mainstream is simply music for the masses taste.thats not bad but i think people want to be individualistic and unique and just its the same with the music they hear

btw i think if youre open minded youre just looking at the music not its origin

[CBFwithusername]

perfect reply took the words from my mouth

[Rosinentitte]

whats this?

cat empire is a cool group and now so a radio song...

baaad.

[jeyboi110]

here it goes again....

THE CAT EMPIRE WITH ANOTHER FANTASTIC SONG

this is amazing

[currzwurst]

Uhuh... Cool storry bro.

Are you trying to make a point or something?

Because methinks you do not even have one.

4/10 allmost raged.

[sebussy]

is there any instrument Harry cant play? Guitar, trumpet, vocals. fucking wicked at them all too. love these guys. can't wait to see them again!

[mancade]

dude he can vocal in french too

[spaccamack]

Not their best song, but still good.

[nilpoitforyou]

This is awesome =]]

and why does it matter where the boat sails?

[SombrasdeSeptiembre]

wow these guys are great... GREAT!

[arcticnoordpool]

where does the boat 'sail'?

[jphobbit]

his beard thing looks a bit dumb

[iam2cool4me]

And you can't spell. It's your not youre.

[iam2cool4me]

You're not youre.

[odbeat]

no - its ur

[iam2cool4me]

no it's your

[odbeat]

we can't see the context old chap - the original comment has been removed. "Ur" will suffice in either case (your or you're), so I would recommend it as the preferable option on youtube. That is not to say it would be appropriate in a different forum.

[incakitty]

Felix is mighty hot!!!

[cha1]

the high pitched singer is the Harry the main trumpet player (the one playing the acoustic at the beginning) not a bad song...tho still prefer their Self-Titled and Two Shoes stuff

[ClutterKids]

OMG, i saw these guys last night!

at WOMAD. they were amazing

Bri spoke to Felix!!

lol

"here it goes again"

[dragonfirenze]

Amazing music... simply amazing.

[nemisestoic]

wat the FUCK...i love cat empire......

is this really them....itsd making me doubt there greatness......just~wat the fuck

[anne241163]

nemisetoic This is the kind of song that has to grow on you, it will get better every time you hear it. I thought it boring at first, but since it is THEM I kept coming back to it, love it now!

[nemisestoic]

it sounds like take that.......

[anne241163]

Now way hahaha!

[celciusringerrune]

Agreed. At first I didn't like this band but after forcing myself to listen to them for a whole day I changed my mind and haven't listened to much else in over six months.

Give em a fair chance and you'll grow to love them.

[hynesa02]

im doing the same cos i know i'll like them - if my friends just did the same with Dream Theater...lol

[Strifflas]

no thats him.. looks the same to me.

coolest guy ever! you might be thinking of the high pitch singer, who is a bit larger than him... ;)

[meringue54]

that lead singer looks not like their usual guy.... whats going on there???? can anybody enlighten me?

[snottygirl78]

The only difference is a haircut.

[sugamuma087]

these guys r awesum in concert!!!!!!! luv them!!!!!

[morfrey]

[zandocampbell]

I love the Cat Empire and are seeing them this month!!! =)

[iam2cool4me]

cat empire rocks

[manwithoutabody]

Felix is seriously making me reconsider my heterosexuality.

[EmilieSagae]

He's not making me reconsider my homosexuality.

[EmilieSagae]

Oops, I'm male if that was a concern to anyone. Misleading username, I know.

[SumDude149]

i started biking and riding the bus instead of wasting gas. comon guys, we have to work together! nice song btw

[3194613]

[sisteminconstient]
