empire of the sun – walking on a dream

i thought id start out with this tune because its my summer song of the moment. my summer song of the moment changes 10-15 times each summer, but this is it right now. i thought something sounded vaguely familiar about empire of the sun, and then i found out that one of the members is luke steele of the sleepy jackson. in my own twisted head, id also like to fool myself into believing that this song sort of describes my life — always pushing up the hill searching for the thrill of it — but i know that im inside typing a music blog on one of the most beautiful days of the year, so that cant really be completely true. to be fair, i did just ride my bike almost 8 miles though ….true story.

as my friend hani described it, this song is exactly the kind of music i like. laid back, but pushing forward. another strong point is how this albums art reminds me of a low budget mid 90s medieval cartoon. without further ado, i present to you the first of many awesome songs in many genres that you will experience over the next several lifetimes……
