Empire of the Sun - Half Mast (Slight Return)

[Firstriver333]

@Floodstreetswithlove they are..... in and interview with Musicnews Nick Littlemore said he was already in the studio recording with Luke :D

[mrtonny17]

40 people never had a mast

[jeasocrazy]

is he from a Asian descent? i know hes from Australia

[Firstriver333]

@jeasocrazy Russian on his mom's side, Kiwi on his dad's. Born and raise din Perth , Australia. 31 going on 32 December 13.

Kiwi is the demonym for people form New Zealand; thousands of years ago people from Southeast Asia settled NZ. A lot of Maoris (natives of NZ, like how Aborigines are natives of Australia) look a bit Asian.

Luke is pretty interesting being part Russian too, I mean how often do you get a mix like that?

Hope this helps, sorry for the history lesson XD

[jeasocrazy]

@Firstriver333  ohh no problem, thank for the information =)

[weedy254]

did anyone else notice luke is crying in the beggining of the video

[Firstriver333]

@weedy254 After watching this video hundreds of times how could I not notice that?!

[shittifuck97]

das ist ja mal richtig scheisse walking at dreams und we are the people sind geil aber das alter brechreitz man ^^

[apriljaded18]

their costume designer is a fucking genius! they look so badass!

[SevenTeethOfSaturn]

i love how their videos tell a continual story from song to song. EOTS is def. one of the best psych-revival bands around!

[1991MRjesse]

3:02 Grease, anyone?



[liketammysaids]

@1991MRjesse "Oh sandy!" lol xD

[EveryoneButBrenda]

That's how me and my gf's drunken arguments always go.  I really do need her around, sometimes I sing this to her when she gets pissed at me

[BnaToToSnap]

Amazing song !

I can't stop playing it !

[Mctripsd]

love him

[Firstriver333]

@MeinNamenSagIchNich lol XD I heard in an interview he said "I might trip and stab a fan with my headpiece"

He is so adorable -3

If you search on youtube "empire of the sun interview" it should come up. Its called "Luke Steele - Empire of the Sun Interview - Triple J - October 2009"

[lovesskiingpow]

NOW that's one guy you dont want to cross paths with walking home late one night..

[OTAKUDESUDESU]

@lovesskiingpow Are you kidding? That'd be a dream come true. Luke Steele <3333333 XD

[fromillia]

Такое говнище они могли бы снять и в Австарлии ! Зачем надо было переться в Нью-Йорк ?!?!?!

[crackmyteethonpearls]

@fromillia That's what she said.

[METUBE2198]

Far better with the little echo behind the voice at the chorus

[MrWowzrzz]

How can someone possibly call him gay HE'S GODLIKE!!

[Firstriver333]

Love the video... And yes he is holding his heart. It's like she had his heart, thencygey fought, she left it and he found it. Necessitate she's done but he tries to ht a second chance and he does :3

But what is he doing at the end? He's like pointing at her stomach....maybe it's to imply shes pregnant?

[ramsfanactic]

The Spins by Mac Miller brought me here

[mooonjelly]

❥❥❥❥❥❥❥❥

[jo1559]

geiles lied

[JonathanDeinzerBlah]

Is he maried with the blonde from this vid?

[liketammysaids]

@JonathanDeinzerBlah Nope..that chick is with zac effron at the mo :P

[TitanVsNatit]

Prefer Walking on a Dream :/

[TheManFromTheMoon101]

A good song, horrible lyrics

[jmcg518]

really really hope they become huge! this deserves more recognition.

[Mavarik]

@jmcg518 they had there fame 2 years ago

[remoods]

We love it !!! Greetings from Germany

REMOODS

[lmiller2010]

I didn't like these guys at first. But damn, def grows on you and sticks. Love it.

[liketammysaids]

can people stop comparing every effing songs with Bieber....its driving me nuts XP

[112Rose112]

Great Song. love him.

[112Rose112]

whats this in his Hand? His heart?

[liketammysaids]

@112Rose112 His bollocks lol XD

[weedy254]

@112Rose112 nope im guessin the tear from lukes eye and the blood y leather strap looks like look may have killed teresa palmer.

[Firstriver333]

@weedy254 Are you sure that's leather?

I always thought it was his heart. You know how people say "you have my heart" when they're so deeply in love? I think its like Teresa had his heart, then they had a fight and she left it lying on the ground. He found it and realised she thinks she doesn't love him. 2:32 he even gets angry with himself about it. This song is a love song, asking for a second chance. "Baby can you save it now?" lyrics mean that he's asking her to help save the relationship.

[TraumMaterial]

''Oh Oh Oh Honey I Need you round' i know i know!'' is soo very good enjoy this chorus!

[Schirin511]

"a million times a trillion more!" <3

[TraumMaterial]

what holds in her hands? and he is not gay,he is married.

[TraumMaterial]

what holds in her hands?

[TraumMaterial]

a great song :)

[EmilyC8526]

all you haters.. FCUK OFF! Luke Steele is deffo NOT gay! he is an artist, a rare one who has come up with a creative way of bringing fun, joy and excitement back into music and he is the best thing to happen to the music industry so if u dont like him, go away!

[juanchocholeras]

WTF

[liketammysaids]

i like empire of the sun but why does it now sound...gay? :S

[liketammysaids]

okay now it doesnt :)

[MissTammyful]

yo ! :D HONEY :D

[xxmiichelec]

Oh honey I need you round I know I know ♫ ~8~

[TheAnita1311]

SUPER!!!

Hammer Video!!!

[TheAnita1311]

SUPER!!!



[Przeslanski]

Already the Original Songs did catch me in the first Seconds, this Remix is making me feel even Better. Sadly i can´t enjoy the Song in it`s full Power since i am currently Ill. :(

[diogofucker]

very gay. very cool,

[stanarnoldo]

i like much more the original version but this version its ok :D

[InesCigana]

this is so MGMT, i sometimes think I'm listening to andrew singing which makes this band awesome as well :D

[fatpiickles]

1 week of working in the office while listening to this only song over and over again. makes me feel like i'm somewhere else. oh yeah!

[jaredjaredj]

amazing

[Lady5Midnight]

Klasse Song - geht ins Ohr und wirbelt ständig durch den Kopf.

Aber das Video ist nicht so toll geworden. - Bissel schwach und sicher im Produktionskostenrahmen von 1,99 €. Schade!

Aber wo ist eigentlich der andere Typ hingekommen?

Waren das nicht 2? Luke Steele und Nick Littlemore...?!

[ZiaddaiZ]

@Lady5Midnight

Das Video is nich überhaupt nich schwach nur weils keine mille gekostet hat... Aber besonders billig ist das Video auch nicht das wurde gut produziert.

[MsJeanny93]

harr ich liebe es <3

[xmm0815x]

@MsJeanny93 yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh icke och.hammmmmaa geil

[Poliphili7]

@NicoRobin1307 Ein Herz.

[bulgogi1212]

Haha @ 1:35 she's like "Enough with this chap." walks away and BAM! "Hello here I am!" I guess that was one slight return. = )

[RememberMeMJ]

[iloveelectro2011]

@ all

/watch?v=dYKtdfudbHk

[GelberKnoepf]

Great Sound!

[Diamarda]

The video ist a bit boring since nothing really happens but the song is the best they've recorded so far!

[MeinNamenSagIchNich]

he can kill people with his hat :D

[xrxhomeboyxrx]

youtube needs a "repeat" button

[lyuuuuuuu]

Beautiful =p It feels like I'm in a different year =p Aliens mixed with the 70s =p

Feels nice ...Oh, Oh, Oh, Honey I need you round, I know, I know. =p

They dress like aliens =p

[shnozwoman]

omg this song rocksssssssssssss

[GelberKnoepf]

Erinnert mich ein bisschen an Viktor Zoi (:

(Gesanglich als auch im Aussehen)

[GelberKnoepf]

Happy Birthday, Luke!

[castelappi]

me encanta vuestra canción y me encanta vuestra música!!!!

es un sueño!!!! quiero más!!!!

[Deango2]

When I listen to this it's like Im in 1977 or something, I was born in 89' but that doesn't matter. I can still feel it, its that phenomenal.

[JestemRzalem]

KURVVA!!!!!! Maj irsy mnie bolą bikoz maj głośniki is za głośno grające.

[iAMtheWALRUS6]

not digging how they mixed it on the video, album version is better. Love EOTS!

[GigioP22]

3:55 what a sexy stare...

[liketammysaids]

join me on the chorus people! OH OH OH HONEY I NEED YOU!

[Am33r]

@liketammysaids

I know... I know...

[liketammysaids]

@Am33r Haha thanks for joining in lol :)

[ongles]

@liketammysaids oh oh oh hoey i need u 'round!!! i know i know

[liketammysaids]

@ongles haha i think everyone is gonna join me in the chorus part lol XD

[liketammysaids]

@Hektas looools xD

[SimzySays420]

Terra Australis ftw

[Deango2]

If EMI takes down this video like they did to all the others, I will have to become rich and buy out their worthless piece of shit of a record label. Then make all these videos free of the grip that Vevo has on them, so we will no longer have to see Justin Beiber or Eminem's ugly faces again! BTW the blonde chick is smokin hot. Empire Of The Sun forever!!! Peace

[mazza221987]

super musik ! einfach ne klasse band !

[Buttze87]

Einfach Super mfg Buttze

[Lumpidererste]

Einfach suuuper cool.

Erinnert an den Sound der 80er Jahre aller OMD,Tangering Dream,New Order.

Komischerweise muss ich bei den Song an Elo Lieder aus den 80er Jahren denken.

Das Video finde ich übrigens ziemlich unpassend zum Song ;-)

[MrJoel001]

Why can i not stop playing this song.. GREAT music for Thursday nights!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[liketammysaids]

Oh oh oh honey i need you in bed i know i know!

[liketammysaids]

He's cheating on his wife for that gal...I KNEW IT lol!

[JohnOneStyle]

first i thought they gay, but the singer has kids and the music is cool in the summer time cruising in the car lost a love and hear to this shit

[nyses]

@JohnOneStyle You make it sound as if he was gay his music wouldn't be cool.

[JohnOneStyle]

@nyses if he was gay they wouldn make such a cool music

[BigDeanoSyd]

@JohnOneStyle You're a moron and don't deserve to appreciate the fineness and beauty of Empire

[pabloenis]

crazy gay shit... i liked the we are the people song, but this goes too far!

[hyperpimp12]

@pabloenis haterrrr.

[fan444441]

@pabloenis he's not gay, he is married and has one daughter.

love the song <3

[AnimalBear1]

@fan444441 People will compare Justin Bieber with this awsome album they made is not you people think Justin Sucks Empire of Sun Forever this musics is like the classics of 80's Love it. Hope we see a new album like a part 2.

[BellaHero]

is this his wife???

[XHeartagramRomanceX]

@BellaHero i dont think it is, althrough his wife has been in one of the other videos :)

[DCJodon]

Thumbs up if Mac Miller brought you here.

Mac Miller - The Spins

[xWhyxArexWexHerex]

What's he picking up in the very beginning that seems to be bloody?

[JohnOneStyle]

im in love this chic is so sexy...............

[redauxr]

Easily the best video from Empire of the Sun. Haunting, achingly beautiful love song plays out in a stark black nite background mixed with exotic grandeur.

[JusticeIsTheBest]

GOD SAKES WHY DO PEOPLE MIX ALTERNATIVE WITH RAP WHY THE FUCK DID MAC MILLER AND THAT OTHER GUY MIX EMPIRE OF THE SUN?

[qwerrryhb]

this is my favorite group ever!!! their music is just so magical & the way it heals the spirit, it´s just amazing, pure magic for the soul.

[PiToDeCaBrA]

Siiiiiiii esa cancion es grandiosaaaaaa :)

[blekeira]

aaaaaaaaaaaa me recuerda a Geovani jeje te qiero niñop =P

[rancidjeff]

Top band, the album/other version of this song is better

[Shrubbs]

@rancidjeff Agreed

[lushluxx933]

ahh! favorite song ever!!!! <3

[lushluxx933]

omg love! love! love it<3333333 and the costumes are beautiful<3 ;D

[seekur32]

I'm guessing 75% of the production cost of this video went into the gaudy costumes.

[Geordieness]

@seekur32 Gaudy Costumes - They make the (artists?) world go 'round.

[mikehock2]

hunny i need you round

[Mrjosh1990]

favorite song from them

[MellMcCloud]

I only skate to empire of the sun

[xLiveLoveSKATEx]

if empire of the sun and mgmt made just one son...that will be the best song in the history of the universe

[Millenium3000]

@xLiveLoveSKATEx Omg, dude..I had the exact same thing in mind. MGMT's Congratulations meets Empire of the Sun's We Are The People or smth. Been waiting for a work between these two for some time now!!

[rickeymcconnell]

follow your dreams? YEAAAHH

[HexMarmalade]

LOVE EMPIRE OF THE SUN!!!11

There's this band called The Bang Bang Club, and their song Chemistry is trying to be half mast SO HARD, that's got to be illegal. Luke Steele does it WAY BETTER <3

[cgegeg]

this is a beautyfull song xox

[uberbigbread]

awesome song but i dont get the story

[cgegeg]

amazeing love this guys style and look its epicly hot x

[JohnOneStyle]

i love the chic! ♥

[TheBorn80]

style of the 80th, yeah very good

[BarryRobbie1981]

@TheBorn80 Yes it is. Sounds like Gary Numan, David Bowie, A Flock of Seaguls, etc.

[OLEG1282]

In my opinion, the best their song!

[rebecca1257]

its weird how this song gets addictive ...

[seraphoftreason3]

nice

[ryandallarosa13]

ssomehow it's a christmas song.

[Vaminos123]

I can't stop listening/watching. Please EOTS, tour all of North America. I would throw gobs of money your way just to experience your music live.

[michicazenave]

I hate this version, sorry, but the original one is so much stronger and better! In spite of that, this is one of my fav EOTS songs.

[bigswano]

this version's more dancy than the original

[ripcurl420]

I LOVE THEM THEYRE AUSTRALIAN

[TONYDABESTIDOL]

Dear Empire Of The Sun.

I came across your music by mistake (by tagging a song that i thought that was by MGMT at a clothing store in nyc) long story short... fuck MGMT lol i am sooooooo obsessed with you guys i cannot even try to explain. Your music make me wanna bite my tail off! and your videos are just beyond amazing. please keep doing what you are doing!! you guys ROCK! <3 mucho loveo

[beastlydude762]

Mac Miller

[Zennybo0m]

@beastlydude762 Wtf is a macmiller?

[isnsi]

[nerdling301]

this song just makes me happy. please keep doing what you're doing!

[philmed1]

[ladonaloca]

Simplemente fantástico!!!! Sigan siendo grandes!!

[drua232]

ALUCINOGICO

[birdonet]

Parece un poco traspuesto para ser Emperador, y la del aro le vacila mazo.

[leela194]

You have to do things average people dont understand, those are the only good things

[TheSremmos]

Thank you for bringing real music back.

[FluffyKumiko]

great song, great video :)

[jinxorz]

What I'm always curious about is: What is the object he pics up at the start of this video and what does it signify?

[turbo240man]

@jinxorz I think its his heart. You hear a heartbeat for the 1st 20sec. then at 51sec. you see a tear. It's what would happen if he didnt get his woman back. his heart is in the snow..cold..dying.

[floops9]

At least i know for sure there 30 shit heads in this world, for sure.

[eduarda270594]

omg! i love empire of the sun!

[WeEatBrainz]

Favorite song on the album

finally gets a video

too bad its extremely low budget compared to the rest
