[Liquidskeleton]

they're aussie? really? WOULD NOT have picked it!

[miefmuffel]

All is perfect! Luke you are the best!

[jazzmietze]

1:52 you jizz in my pants? wtf?

[Blunted206]

@jazzmietze it does kinda sound like he says "if you jizz in my pants and hold it in my palms" ahahahah never noticed that lol

[Firstriver333]

@TidusRoxas Nooo. -____- Luke is not gay, or bi. He is straight. He has a wife named Jodi and a baby girl as of 2008. He's a proud dad, good guy all around.

[Alistargermany]

endlich wird so ein toller song von eots in deutschland veröffentlicht!!!

standing on the shore ist das beste eots musik video!

[BBXFX]

Josh Logue, The videos are all great, and it's a nice bonus to offer a BTS video for fans. But I must protest allowing someone to film the BTS footage while having an epileptic seizure. Why is Simon able to keep the camera steady even when going hand held but the craft service's friends son is allowed to shoot BTS without at least a monopod. Even an iphone4 has better stabilization than that. Totally embarrassing. Please make more BTS in the future... but don't let the dog film it.

[GabyCassemiro1]

I am 15 years old and I always listen Empire of the sun, my friends the same age I think qeu music I listen to "old people". I love them more, even the best song is We are the people. Too bad there are so many ignorant people in the world, who can not appreciate a song of truth. Marry me Luke Steele

[thosecoldhands]

@GabyCassemiro1 My thoughts exactly.

[junikilla13]

this is a illuminati video

[YELLOWANTONIO]

I like how the Luke dude has strong opinions/visions/ideas/knowled­ge about his videos

ats an artist dude

[HiTmAnHacK]

where is nick?¿??

[lasrolas]

True artist

[Firstriver333]

This is real music where actual soul and depth are put into the making.

[xoxoLoveTrixie]

I just imagine one of the dancers pointing out which one of them is in the video to one of their friends or family and saying, "I was one of those triangle hand guys." Lol.

[toowongfoo]

Geil

--------------



[112Rose112]

The video for "We are the people" is better. This is also pretty good, but moderately Sience fiction. That makes it not so good.

Still, Luke, you've got it beat it!

[epiksonik]

Luke steele is so beautiful...I'm obsessing over his ass....wanna kiss him.

[MichiiEntertainTV]

Die übersetzung ist auch ziemlich geil!!

Wenn ich das höre dann mus ich an meine schöne zeit denken mit meinen kumpels <3. watch?v=gDtj3ocyicE

[KielerGraufuchs]

sad thats this band never got a world price... most of the young people like to hear songs that take them from them reality... thats very sad

[TheVivien11]

I love this song it ist very very nice♥

[kemalarslan72]

super songs and super videoclips, not from this world, thanks!!!

[DesolatedMind]

All of their videos are ....just so brilliant! Inspiring etc.. :) Just like their music

[ninetypercentangel]

to those that fans that havent seen the film Empire of the sun . made 1987 .do watch! its brilliant.

it stars Christian Bale when he was a little one.

[peerless77]

PNAU

[WeetSnaw]

FINALLY! I FOUND THIS!!!!

[eminem77467]

It wud be so funny if on the way to mexico in the video "we are the people", nick and luke wud keep on asking "Are we there yet?"

[eminem77467]

Lovely Luke:D

[Fuckyourmyspace]

you can't compare good music to music videos....two different genre ..

[crackfiendables]

they should do a video in the underground cave at Predjama Castle

[zeroskater088]

whats the song called.. ?

[DivineDil]

@zeroskater088 "Standing On The Shore"

[bigswano]

the art direction is so amazing, it absolutely shows off the beautiful australian landscape. the song itself is one of my favourites

[macjerm101]

Does anyone know how they got the music video to look more like a film look towards the end when it shows the emperor walking and it fades into the real version and the colors change...like its obviously enhanced. But is it like a color corrector? I know its some sort of filter but what I wonder...anyone know about film that could help?

[darklorencia]

Amazing Works!!!

[coldfront321]

Best band Ive heard in a while and I listen to Bob Dylan!!

[18576397]

con este video me imagino cuando veia a los Power Ranger..... jajaja, Empire of The Sun si rules!!!!!!

[NuttaPearl]

Holy my self!!! This is just the best song ever!!!! Loooooove it so much!!!

[GrenerdsRule]

Local Natives = if you havent heard of them look them up! best music ive heard in a real long time. they are going to blow up after their tour in europe that is being sold out every show and they are playing every night at SBSX is austin texas and they are play coachella look em up! you wont be disapointed i promise

[elsongs]

Why is the full video no longer available?

[TreyIM2]

@elsongs - My sentiments exactly. This is my 2nd fave song on the CD, right behind We Are the People. Oh, well. Off to Google the vid, instead.

[relaxme4]

cause you server sucks...likes mine...

[cupsofcakes]

reminds me of will ferrel from zoolander. lol. empire of the sun rocks

[sammehcyanide]

this band makes me proud to live in perth :D

[letsride123]

@MyCodeOfLove dude same here,,haha i always watch these videos when im stoned and thoutght he made em stoned aswell lmao

@sllang01 hell yea dude those sworfish chicks are hott haha

[ighi93]

They are awsome. When I ask someone " what artist do you like?", always the answer is "Lady Gaga, of course" Why??? EOTS are so different and they combine so many styles of music. I simly felt in love with their music.

[36597995]

Muy buena rola, pero los videos son un asco

[ShadiestDave]

"why cant this be a hit"

simply put, it's not hip hop...

sad to say that good music gets passed over for lady gaga and beyonce along with other bandwagon hip hop artist. EOTS sounds like 80's and radio stations arent going to play this music even though it's one of the best sounds i've heard in years. vizio played that commercial over and over for two months in the states and thats was what got them on the buzz.

[JohnnyDeama32]

false...not everything that plays is hip hop or lady gaga...theres alot of alternative that plays out there and its starting to emerge...matt and kim awesome MGMT phoenix..

[cal31BRIAN23]

WTF are you talking about? every time i turn on the tv , i hear we are the people. That vid has over 6 millions views. Want to talk about underrated and under played? try BLOC PARTY.

[hlambert12]

That's because Bloc Party sucks.

[cupsofcakes]

theyre better than the radio, psh there not MGMT

[Sjokoen]

@ShadiestDave

EOTS has been played alot on a radio station in norway

[mattrix2007]

@ShadiestDave we are the people, and walking on a dream got loads of air play in europe, quite sure they were in top 10. the thing is, america is very hip hip oriented. and yeah, i love the 80's shwing they have to their music and vids, they are australian i believe.

[P4fashion]

@ShadiestDave I agree with. Love Empire of the SUn

[martonkarton1]

@ShadiestDave Absolute right, one of the best productions last years appeared!

[MaximumTitan]

@ShadiestDave taste differs

[ZeRoO4478]

@ShadiestDave nice music aren't created for the masses, normal people can't understand it...

[Kloneranger]

@ShadiestDave Couldn't have said it better myself man. TALENT and ORIGINALITY it seems are disqualifiers in today's music industry/world.

These guys are great, talent beyond....... ! Maybe if we just push them hard enough they can overcome the GaGa Beyonce effect.

[Rubenmon1]

@ShadiestDave No the reason why great music like this isn't getting the attention it should is because you all are pussies. When you get in some gathering why don't you put this music on? Afraid to get embarrast or some thing? If you all want the trend to chenge you all need to start playing this music in places it's not being played. How do you expect it to rise if your hiding it. I play gorillaz loud in my car when I drive to places with the windows down, I don't care what people think shoot.

[Exli3r]

@ShadiestDave I understand what you mean. It seems like you have to go out your way to find good music not that pop-garbage on the radio.

[TheWhiteBandana]

@ShadiestDave

There is probably one radio station i know about that is fit for this kind of music, Georgia State University has their own (over) 100,000 watt radio station that can even be heard in other states, 88.5 on your dial, you can call in and tell them to play any under rated music and they will play it! I tell them to play Peter Bjorn & John all the time :3

[LatinYank0295]

@ShadiestDave Trust me it's a lot better that they are our little secret u do NOT want everyone talking about them about how great they are just because radio

[evilgenius151]

@ShadiestDave Is that a fact you are sharing with everyone? If it is, I wont call you a stupid fuck.

Dont blame the american music industry for not embracing something foreign. Hip hop has NOTHING to do with this genre of music! Just because something sounds good to you, doesn't make it the best thing in the world. Id like to hear a lot of music on radio stations/television, but will it happen? Hell no. You need to channel your anger towards something within your control.

[evilgenius151]

@ShadiestDave

..Instead of bitching about it on youtube. If 8 million views isn't a "hit", I don't know wtf is. You seem to lack the knowledge of the music industry and how it works. So regardless of how old your comment is, ill excuse your ignorant statement about hip hop, radio stations, and why you don't hear EOTS in america.

[rllang01]

who wants a swordfish girl ?

[karjosk]

That band got nice songs, but videos are kind of wierd

[JMR83]

Why can't this be a hit?

[HayleyLovesMeesha]

my brother is in this video hes the guy in white with a red face holding one of those animal heads haha h emakes me laugh

[MyCodeOfLove]

Omg. I thought they were always stoned when they made this. But Luke just really thought of this :| Lovee it!

[joaojhonj]

Satanist anunnaki

[mioespacio]

sin lugar a duda una muy grata sorpresa sonora de el 2009.

[QsarShuffler]

Totalmente de acuerdo, estos chicos son definitivamente escéntricos, su música, vestimentas y especialmente su material gráfico... es absolutamente sorprendente.

[p0rkytso]

the video, the artwork, the vision the lyrics, over-all empire of the sun has really topped up originality and raised the standard of music/art/performances within the past few years...

I love it! there is no guessing what's going to happen next in their songs, I only know that their lyrics and reference of meditative positions really reflect their spirituality and development (as we all need to be more aware of) well done! 10/10

[HelloTacoPocket]

Well said!

I, too, hope that Empire Of the Sun continues to travel and shoot their videos in all sorts of different regions around the world, with all sorts of different cultures and people. I like how they do incorporate spirituality into all of their art... their music, their lyrics, and their videos. I only hope that Nick Littlemore with appear in more of their videos... and, of course, collaborate with Luke Steele on a new album! XD

Also, sorry if my English is a little bad. I'm French.

[IrkenAlchemist]

I <3333 the Swordfish Girls. This video is super epic. :D

[GREGZILLA69]

[jurrien75]

[pendehassen]

[TidusRoxas]

[W3Ar31]

[amcipi]

[gohtboi]

Mecha Ray Charles at 3.25 for the Win.

[AviatorMedia]

Culinary Expertise

[culinaryprincess96]

3:08-3:20 is one of my favorite parts!

[sebastian951000]

they done more then great with there videos and music i just sick of hip hop r and b and rap crap out there takeing alot aettion on them instaid of those poeple who with great talent and music

[Birks1995]

I think this video has a really great use of imagination. They act really good, the sword fish girls dance diferently which makes it much more interesting watching one and then another... I'll give it a 9/10 Steele looks so cute and his voice is so magical. I wish he would last for ever since my king of pop has faded... I'm such a softy

I don't think he looks gay, homo or what ever they call it... Don't they know that it's called entertainment??

[Snap4Yahhh]

oh man i love this song.I'm listening to it almost every day!!

[PrinZz84]

They aren't homo. They married. Luke has a daughter. LOL But Yeah that's true we can find the Zelda atmosfer in this vid.

[yudomax]

are these guys homo or why do they act and dress like link or zelda???

[Stagsomat]

if you could, you know you would.

[yudomax]

i dont think so... i prefer to dress like ganondorf who looks not that homo

[therealisation]

they may be homo's but.... link or zelda?... you need to get out more!

[yudomax]

hahaha i´ll do so, dont worry

[yudomax]

i´m very sorry to make you angry but the way they act, makes me think they really are, but about their songs, they are excellent...

[ak47yeehaw]

he did admit he was gay, but he really meant BI, he said it in a playboy interview and regrets saying it ever since, he is more straight than gay though, he is going out with a model atm i think and he is really feminine also not GAY fully

[inthaclub]

that was totaly unnecessary  man

[MsNiniC]

All their videos are works of art, I love it

[LanceCampeau]

I heard "Walking On A Dream" in some kid's YouTube skateboard video.... I was instantly hooked, album is great... Even "Delta Bay" which, in my opinion doesn't fit the tone of the album, is growing on me! I'm glad Luke doesn't speak or make comments etc.... part of the mystique of this project is the whole "look,sound,feel" of the songs videos and caracters... Its a really well put together "package"... most groups can't even make a decent single... never mind to whole damm show!

[kenisinoregon]

Luke never talks! I wish u would talk during the behind the scenes

[empirethesun]

Next single: Without you .

I'm so happy:))

[angie4josh]

I'm impressed that he used locals for the characters. Luke dosn't seem stuck up at all. 10 out of 10!

[zo0zo0ni1201mj]

The video is awesome..

Luke's voice is perfect..

I liked the part with the rollers, it was so smart..

I'd really love to see a video for the song "Without You"..

Please Empire Of The Sun, make more videos..

Please come in Europe(in Greece)

I wish you all the best..!!

[milkirby]

empire of the sun is better than MGMT

[MrAntiliars]

yess old styles back

[oxigeno23able]

haha EMPIRE OF THE SUN!
