Lyrics: [F.RIEBL]
Ever since I was 16
I wished that spring would come to me
And I wished that I could dance up on the isles
Sweat rivers on a stage of steam
I let my thoughts begin to dream
I held my breath and ran into the wild
And each night a horizon grew
In all of us or just a few
Til morning’s gold would make it disappear
Yet somewhere in my treasured chest
Is not forgot what must forget
But that’s a feeling for another year
And movement has a way like words
You’re there before the rhyme is heard
And all that one can do is shape the ride
The miles of a forgotten dream
Are yours my love it’s where we’ve been
And maybe one day soon we will arrive
Playing all night loud
Playing all night loud
Sing it all night with me
All night loud
And we went on a whirlwind trip
The nights unwound the records flipped
And stillness came like chaos in the lights
And voices like devotion flew
Across the sea from me to you
In music that I still cannot describe
And there were ugly times it’s true
Some from me and some from you
And devils have a way of digging down
But a friend is not a friend for life
Unless your life is worth the strife
So hold on we’ll be alright
Playing all night loud
Playing all night loud
Sing it all night with me
All night loud
There’s a speech that I know well
Was told by Henry V I’ll tell
A version that relates to us not war
‘He who sheds his sweat with me
Will be my friend eternally
From this day to the ending of the world!’
No matter if we’re young or old
Or in the sun or in the cold
I hope I can remember your bright eyes
Cos I know you and you know me
At least somehow mysteriously
So thank you my dear friends and that’s goodnight
I’m much obliged
I’m much obliged
So thank you my dear friends and that’s goodnight
I’m much obliged
I’m much obliged
So thank you my dear friends and that’s good night
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.
I can't believe that The Cat Empire are no more.. one of the most innovative and wonderful bands to have come out of Australia since the music began in the 60s. Their music is fun, uplifting sbs joyous. I shall miss them. I first saw them at one of their first gigs in the old Bennett Lane jazz club..front row seat. Literally in the bands lap. They blew me away then. I managed to catch them a few times more over the next few years, the St Kilda festival, the original Speigeltent, Myers music bowl, and a few more venues, until they became too big to get tickets to. In those early days we got to know all the band members as they were approachable. All young and talented. The keyboard player, Ollie, was inspiring. Felix and Harry totally unique. Will, a dynamic drummer. The world was a better place for their music.
One of the best songs ever made
I am a better person since I listen to you guys. Big love from the peruvian jungle.
Absolutely incredible
Back on year later. My favorite song of the year. Top ten all time.
STUNNING TUNE X
This is my favourite song in many years. Ross I want to thank you on behalf of all the Music Parents at Immanuel College. You got a mention at the Valedictory Speeches on Thursday. Your efforts are deeply inspiring and influential for those kids studying music. One of Cat Empire's great strengths is the virtuosic level of the instrumentalists in the band. Lyrics and arrangements of songs such as this are wonderful but what really makes it for me, one of those "middle aged" fans, is the true musical quality. Cheers to you all.
So much love 💞
That was some great drumming from Will there, great energy!
"Hey my dad wanted this song played at his funeral but I can't find the album version on YT, what do?"
"Eh just use the live version, should be just as good"
"Fair, can't see what'd be wrong with that"
Amazing. I have always wanted to see y'all live. Is there any hope of a US tour soon?
There is, check the website, they're every bit as good as you could imagine live.
Will you release the live versions for the Toowoomba concert?
