Buzz abounds over Capitol’s Empire of the Sun, as the band’s “Walking on a Dream” gets a vibrant new life following a sync in a Honda TV spot titled “The Dreamer.” The track, which came out on the Australian electro-pop troupe’s self-titled 2009 set, is now Top 5 Shazam and moving up at iTunes (it's nearing 800k sales, with 25k last week). The label has serviced the track at multiple radio formats, with spins underway at Pop, Hot AC and Alternative.
Yes, you're reading this right, almost EIGHT years after it was initially released in Australia & a year later in the US, the song has now been RERELEASED in the US off the wake of being used in a commercial.
Weird, but the song is a classic. "We Are The People" can finally smash after that too.
Man I just bought it a month ago cause I fell in love all over it again..and now the whole states too? That's what truly is a reverse wharholian experirnce
