Still Young Lyrics

First I saw you standing there Eyes so wild beneath your hair Coat worn blacker than the sun Shook your head like Strummer strummed We stood like soldiers in a line Heard the bells of midnight chime We turned grey walls to fields of green The only fate that we could scream was While you’re still young Find your heart and find your song Now where have you gone? No matter where you’re...

Wild Animals Lyrics

If you beat on the rock you can hear the world ring Wake up in the morning you don’t feel a thing Shadows gathering over your head And it’s just like the preacher man said He said we were born to run through the grass Why are you living your life behind bars Why are you living your life in the past Give yourself a reason to sing That you were free born you’re free born...

desolationofstephen asked: Was it just me, or did the boys really not seem as into it when they were playing on The Today Show? I guess it would be because there's not a proper audience there, but they just looked kind of bored to be there, which was a shame since they don't usually look like that when they play.

yakini replied to your video: The Chariot - The Cat Empire on The Today Show Why an old song? They referred to it as an encore. Was interesting to see that rather than Brighter Than Gold. When they were on Sunrise (our other morning show) they did two new singles (at the time No Longer There and So Many Nights). No idea, they do what they want?

So in 5 days, this blog has gained 30 followers. I’m absolutely adoring the hype around the album and the love shown for it and this blog that I run. You guys are some of the best fans out there and I’m glad I get to share this love of music and a band with you all. Hope everyone’s enjoying the new music and might see them on tour. Cheers.

Am I Wrong Lyrics

All they tell me is hope All they tell me is lies I can’t hide so I run Across the globe like a spy But the sun makes a hole Burning right through the sky All my feelings are bold And my thoughts are alive I would follow you there Through these thoughts to the sun Through the black in my eye As if ‘I’ was the one Is it me who is lead? Or unsaid do I lead With these drums to the...

Steal The Light Lyrics

Sing now muse I won’t be scared She’s wearing flowers not snakes up in her hair tonight And love we’ve been around before We washed up on the old shore but it’s new tonight ‘It’s only light’ she said ‘But we are liars to be free’ Ooh ooh ooh we’ll steal the light to see The hour falls we fall to dance Now sirens and the marching bands...

snowyalice asked: I've been playing a game with the poster from my pre-order where I see how many people I know name's are there. I found mine so far and one other friends. (Also signed booklet, it's so beautiful).

Prophets In The Sky Lyrics

You saw the carnival in Rio You saw them dancing in the sun But listen to your corazon Can you believe you’re always on your own? You’re like a song without singer You’re like a bird without a song You’re all alone, all alone And you’re walking down a long and dusty road All the tricksters and hipsters and prophets in the sky… Can you imagine A love like that?...

The audio will take a while (technically one per day), but I have 5 queued up until Thursday. And that’s fair, you should all buy the album, but having a song on your blog is a good feeling too. Anyway, just typing up lyrics and contemplating how not to go overboard with my opinions. :)

Brighter Than Gold Lyrics

Four steps in the morning Two steps in the day Three steps in the evening then The darkness is ablaze and all the Angels, sikhs, and soldiers Come step to the parade Run out like a cheetah Monkey’s in the blood What a piece of work is man Who screams the name of love, but all his Brothers, cousins, sisters, and other Hear is fuzz All night awake In the moonlight I’m with you In the...

So here’s a bit of the plan for upcoming posts. Lyrics, audio posts and maybe a track by track (in my opinion). It’ll be heaps spoilery for those who haven’t heard so be aware. Or beware. Both. I have to say, the more I listen to the album, the more I hear influences from ALL of their past work. I definitely feel they’ve grown with this record. The independent release...

yakini replied to your post: Favourite track off the new album? Awesome album though, maybe their best so far. :) Best so far is a big call, but I think I like it as much as their 1st and 2nd which are usually my favourites.

Favourite track off the new album?

Sorry I haven’t been around to share the hype, but I’m back from an adventure and a half of uni field trip/pubcrawl (not at the same time)… Hope those who’ve got the album are enjoying it. Hoping mine’s in the Post tomorrow.

alittlebraver: Going on camp/field trip for the weekend for uni. So I won’t be around much.

For singer Felix Riebl, it was necessary to leave The Cat Empire behind in order to realise just what was special about the band. Two years ago, Riebl went solo, and toured the country with a set of gentle, acoustic songs – music in marked contrast to The Cat Empire’s raucous, carnival-like output. “The atmosphere throughout that tour was completely different,” he tells me. “The Cat Empire’s...
