The duo consists of musicians Nick Littlemore (vocals, production) and Peter Mayes (guitar, production). The pair have achieved multiple successes throughout their career with their award-winning debut album Sambanova,their universally acclaimed 2008 release Pnau, their breakthrough side-project Empire of the Sun,and their multiple chart-topping singles. Pnau is also recognized for their heavily publicized apprenticeship under musician Elton John, who signed the duo after listening to their record Pnau. A number of projects featuring Elton's involvement with the band are currently in development, such as Pnau's next album 'Soft Universe' and an album featuring Pnau recreations of Elton John's hits

The new album by the Australian duo Pnau, due out in summer 2011 and tentatively titled Soft Universe, is the finest example yet of their epic techno pop. The faster, more uptempo tracks - using their best-known songs to date, Embrace and With You Forever (the latter featuring Luke Steele of The Sleepy Jackson and Empire Of The Sun), as the template ' are their most accessible and uplifting ventures yet into the territory of supercharged anthemica.

For Nick, Elton's involvement has been a lifeline. 'He's been incredible at mentoring me through a period of depression,' he reveals. And Pnau have been able to return the favour, working on an album based on the songwriting legend's massive back catalogue, on a project that will amount to a thorough re-examination of his work. It is bound to cause tremendous interest in 2011.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's fifteen to five, I'm still wide awake
Something's on my mind, I can't hide away
There's a sandy road down a single track, I left home again
And the chance's that I won't be back for some time, babe
I'll kiss the ground at your feet, we'll rise up from the ashen heat
You'll write the reason to go on, I'll turn your lullaby into song

Unite us, baby I can feel a change, Don't we all feel the same?

"Come together" Lennon sang, Unite us, Something that you can't erase
Let the vision never fade, Come together, Now to stay

Unite us, unite us, unite us, unite unite

Livin' on your scent I kept for 20 days
There's a million moments left burnin' on the highway
I'll hide the reigns, lost control, You'll light the sky to lead us home
My sweet bullets right the wrong, I'll turn your lullaby into song
Unite us, baby I can feel a change, Don't we all feel the same?
"Come together" Lennon sang, Unite us, Something that you can't erase
Let the vision never fade, Come together, Now to stay

Unite us, unite us, unite us, unite unite

You'll write the reason to go on, I'll turn your lullaby into song
Unite us, baby I can feel a change, Don't we all feel the same?
"Come together" Lennon sang, Unite us, Something that you can't erase
Let the vision never fade, Come together, Now to stay

Unite us, unite us, unite us, unite unite

It's fifteen to five, I'm still wide awake
I am unable to sleep as I am pondering something important

Something's on my mind, I can't hide away
I cannot ignore what's on my mind

There's a sandy road down a single track, I left home again
I have left my home again, taking the path less traveled

And the chance's that I won't be back for some time, babe
There is a likelihood that I will be away for a while

I'll kiss the ground at your feet, we'll rise up from the ashen heat
I will do anything to be with you and we will overcome challenges together

You'll write the reason to go on, I'll turn your lullaby into song
You will inspire me to keep going and I will make music out of your words

I have been living off the memory of you for the last 20 days

There's a million moments left burnin' on the highway
There are countless moments waiting for us in the future

I'll hide the reigns, lost control, You'll light the sky to lead us home
I will guide us in one direction, while you will help us find our way home

My sweet bullets right the wrong, I'll turn your lullaby into song
My words are powerful enough to correct mistakes and make music out of your voice

PNAU used to be better, but it's still good. However, "Solid Ground" and "The Truth" were solider and more true to what's the band showed the world. It may be evolution, but it doesn't mean that I have to like it.
