    Lyrics: [F.RIEBL/H.ANGUS]
    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 sing ‘it’s nothing but chance tonight’
    The billion ones and many few
    And everyone I never new they’re here tonight
    ‘It’s only light’ we said
    But we are liars to be free
    Ooh ooh ooh we’ll steal the light to see
    What if I’m lonely?
    What if the skies should fall and disappear?
    For one night only
    Open your eyes and run into the clear
    So if I may, what if I say
    ‘It’s good to have you here!’
    She said ‘If you lead I’ll come along
    And if you need me there I’ll sing your song tonight
    And all that glows and all that shines
    And all we leave behind will keep them warm tonight
    ‘It’s only light’ I said
    But we are liars to be free
    Ooh ooh ooh we’ll steal the light to see
    What if I’m lonely?
    What if the skies should fall and disappear?
    For one night only
    Open your eyes and run into the clear
    I love you only
    Until the skies fall down and disappear
    So if I may, what if I say
    ‘It’s good to have you here!’
    Oh oh oh…
    About:
    Formed in Melbourne, Australia and adored the world over, The Cat Empire is a musical success story that continues to be written. Throughout their 20 year career, the band's stratospheric trajectory has continued unabated, becoming one of Australia's most successful musical exports, growing an army of ardent fans at home and abroad.
    Since their teens, the six bound together by a love of music, and bolstered by the career-long guidance of Manager Correne Wilkie, have gone about the business of crafting infectious, genre-embracing anthems and releasing chart-topping, multi-platinum albums to take to the live stage. It was not unusual to find the band performing on main stage bills at iconic international festivals, selling out the world's most famous arenas, mobbed by supporters and media at airports in Spain, and appearing on top rating T.V. shows like Letterman and Leno.
    In September 2021, The Cat Empire announced that after 20 years, the band's original line-up would play their final shows together, culminating in a massive show and virtual concert from their hometown of Melbourne in December.
    The next chapter of The Cat Empire begins with founding members Felix Riebl and Ollie McGill stepping forward with "a re-imagined, vibrant, cross-cultural, and joyful collective of musicians and artists", with new music planned for 2022.
    The Cat Empire:
    Vocals: Felix Riebl
    Vocals & Trumpet: Harry James Angus
    Keys: Ollie McGill
    Drums: Will Hull-Brown
    Bass: Ryan Monro
    DJ: Jamshid “Jumps” Khadiwala

    Still one of the best musicians to ever come out of Australia. They were never marketed well enough for the talent they produce but they did become the world's best kept secret.

      next to "Clearwater beach # 1 beach ", just the way we like it in St. Pete where I saw TCE front row center an hour after buying a ticket for $40. (Pssst. Come to tourist-free Passe-A-Grill beach instead.)

    I was in Melbourne city walking past flinders street station saw a massive crowd at federation square across the road and wanted to see what all the fuss was and I made way there and was in amongst the crowd when all of a sudden these guys began playing music so I stayed for the entire show. First time I have ever been to a full blown concert that was out in the public and all for free! First time I have ever been moved to tear by music and especially when I heard the crowd singing along to their song called “all night loud”! I cried because I felt the love the crowd had for these guys it was such a sweet moment to be alive, a memory I wish I could show/share with my family and friends because you have to be at their concerts to really experience And appreciate true music that is fun, exciting and that is down right honest. That was the moment I became a fan of this band. Thank you cat empire for your service!

    From time to time, I come back to this video to remind me that there is good music out there. I first listened to this when I was 16 in 2014 because for some reason we have an Australian channel here in the Philippines and every 3 AM, Rage was on and this was featured there once. I fell in love with this song since.

    they started over 10 years ago, you would expect the sound of a band to change in that time. change is good, it promotes new listeners and keeps music interesting. I, for one, love the new sound, and if anything this album sounds like it's getting the closest to the roots of the cat empire since two shoes!
