The song "Waveforms" was used in the 2013 video game, Grand Theft Auto V on the "Worldwide FM" radio station.
The band released their eponymous debut album in January 2012, combining 80s pop rhythms with 60s Beach Boys-style vocal harmonies, a style that some, rightly or wrongly, have labelled folktronica.
Why Can't We Live Together
Django Django Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Why can't we live together
Tell me why, tell me why
Why can't we live together
Everybody wants to live together
Why can't we be together
Just a little peace
No more war, no more war
All we want is some peace in this world
Everybody wants to live together
Why can't we be together
No matter, no matter what color
You are still my brother
I said no matter, no matter what color
You are still my brother
Everybody wants to live together
Why can't we be together
Everybody wants to live
Everybody's got to be together
Everybody wants to live
Everybody's going to be together
Everybody's got to be together
Everybody wants to be together
I said no matter, no matter what color
You're still my brother
I said no matter, no matter what color
You're still my brother
Everybody wants to live together
Why can't we be together
Gotta live together
Together
The song "Why Can't We Live Together" by Django Django is a remake of a original song by Timmy Thomas. The lyrics are asking a very important question, "why can't we all just get along?" The first verse asks this question repeatedly, highlighting the desire for people to live side-by-side without disagreements. It then addresses the issue of war, pleading for there to be no more fighting and instead, for peaceful interactions. The song emphasizes the desire for unity, with a chorus that repeats the line "everybody wants to live together, why can't we be together?"
The verse that follows the chorus emphasizes the idea of brotherhood and fraternity, regardless of race. It acknowledges that no matter the color of an individual's skin, they can still be considered family. The song then repeats the chorus again, this time with more conviction and urgency, and ends with the simple phrase "gotta live together, together", driving its message home.
Overall, the song's message is one of hope and unity, illustrating the desire for people to come together and live in peace despite their differences. It is a plea for humanity to rise above their petty squabbles and focus on our shared humanity.
