Intro

Empire of the Sun is an Australian duo releasing Pop tracks since the late 2000s. Their sound blends dreamy synths, catchy hooks, and an otherworldly vibe that transports listeners to a different place. “We Are the People” is a song from their first hit album, “Walking on a Dream”. After this initial success, they would be nominated and win multiple awards following this album release which would cement them as one of the greatest and unique bands in the music industry.

Song Review

“We Are the People” starts with a guitar rift that immediately puts you in a chill mood. This song plays while driving the car, and you’re just vibing, no thoughts, just good vibes. They did an excellent job creating an atmosphere you can hear when listening to this song, especially as each instrument is introduced slowly in the intro.

The song speaks to the power of coming together “We are the people that rule the world.” It’s a powerful set of lyrics that speak to the emotions of one who feels best when with their loved one. The chorus is very catchy and perfect to sing along to, especially the first line “I can’t do well when I think you’re gonna leave me but I know I try. It’s not a crazy unique chorus but with the sounds of the song and the way they perform the chorus, you can’t help but singalong. As with some other songs we reviewed that were also made by an artist duo, there is a theme of nostalgia. The song gives off a sense of calmness when playing the verse but once the chorus plays, the vibes are way high.

Final Thoughts

“We Are the People” is a timeless song. No matter whether this is your first time listening or your second, you can’t tell if this song was made back in the 90s or recent years. The way they produced the song was perfectly executed to make it indistinguishable when it was made. Also, the fact that the theme is to feel good and to have those experiences with loved ones is what makes it universal. Anyone can relate no matter what. No matter what mood you’re in, this song will make you feel better, 100%.

My score: 9.2/10
