Pnau
Pnau is an Australian dance music duo originating from Sydney, Australia. 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 widely acclaimed 2007 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. Several of Pnau's recent projects have featured John's involvement, such as Pnau's album Soft Universe and an album featuring Pnau recreations of Elton John's hits called Good Morning to the Night.
Biography
Pnau formed in Sydney, New South Wales by Nick Littlemore and Peter Mayes. The two met at secondary school and began performing together in the mid-1990s, initially playing acid, house music, and trance music. Littlemore recalled meeting Mayes when he was 10; "He tripped me over. We hated each other for a couple years and then we started sneaking out and going to raves when we were about 13 and we formed a bond over intense music." Littlemore and Mayes created their first album when they were in their mid-teens. "It was called Fractured Geometric Spaces Made of Light," Littlemore remembers, "Which is probably why it was never picked up."
Pnau (album)
Pnau is the third album by Australian dance music duo, Pnau. The album was released in 2007 on the independent record label etcetc in Australia and on the independent record label Pnau Records and Tapes on LP in the UK in 2009. The album peaked at 31 on the Australian albums chart and was featured at number 89 on the Triple J Hottest 100 Albums of All Time.
The album is considered significant for the band in several regards. Shortly after the album's release Elton John claimed the album to be the greatest record he had heard in ten years. Subsequently, Pnau was signed onto Elton's management, which resulted in their heavily publicized apprenticeship under the music icon.
Additionally, Pnau reunited Nick Littlemore with Luke Steele for the first time in nearly a decade for the album tracks "With You Forever" and "Freedom". According to Littlemore, the track "With You Forever" inspired the artists to collaborate on a side project, which finalized a year later into the highly successful electronic pop band Empire of the Sun.

Like damn I don't really like to argue, think it's pointless, but you like to start too,
like I heard this, she said that, & my new friends told me they must be facts,
here we go with this stuff again, you just met these girls, & you trustin them?
she put it on me, screamin so loud, that I'm left with no choice but to tune her out,
(you stupid motherf***er) I love you too, you workin out girl? I love them shoes!
Yell all you want, if that's what you do, plus I love when your mad, I think its so cute,
I shut her up by the compliments, that's really the only way I can top the fits,
so every time she start yellin In here, I close my eyes, & put my hands on my ear like...
(Chorus)
Na na na, say what? Na na na I cant hear you! Na na na what's that? I cant hear you!
I swear it's like you talkin to a wall, cause I ain't listen to you at all,
but you keep tryna talk talk talk, but wah wah wah,
but talk all the shit you want cause I'll be zonin you out.
(Hook)
Same ol brand new station, I aint listnin, I be zonin you out, you talking like it's the end of the world, but you aint got shit to say, zonin, out my ear x3, I be zonin you out
(Ben J)
Damn get out my ear though, got these old folks lookin at us like weirdo's,
can we jus sit & talk about it? Instead of you tryna tell ya paps about It,
you don't needa go that far,
it's just me & you, your daddy too old what that nigga gon do?
Oops my bad, you know I aint mean It, what I'm tryna say is we needa quit beefin,
she smiled at me and said "Your right, but who was that girl you was with last night?" She started going off like burnt lights,
at this rate we never gon work right,
that's when I planned somethin different,
the only way to deal with her is to not listen,
so I put my hands on my ear till she stopped trippin like..
(Chorus)
Na na na, say what? Na na na I cant hear you! Na na na what's that? I cant hear you!
I swear it's like you talkin to a wall, cause I ain't listen to you at all,
but you keep tryna talk talk talk, but wah wah wah,
but talk all the shit you want cause I'm zonin you out.
(Hook)
Same ol brand new station, I aint listnin, I be zonin you out, you talking like it's the end ff the world, but you aint got shit to say, I'm zonin, out my ear x3, I be zonin you out
(Legacy)
Seem like all you want is for me to hear ya voice,
even if all the things you say is true,
there's still no point, for you to be trippin like you are, it ain't that bad,
I even left my ex girl for you, & she ain't that bad,
here we go again, here we go again same damn arguin,
I don't know the chick I don't know the chick , will you please get off my ear,
think about all the times that you find out a lie just to bring you down,
your way to loud, if you gon try & shout, then ill be zonin you out like..
(Chorus)
Na na na, say what? Na na na I cant hear you! Na na na what's that? I cant hear you!
I swear it's like you talkin to a wall, cause I ain't listen to you at all,
but you keep tryna talk talk talk, but wah wah wah,
but talk all the shit you want cause I'm zonin you out.
