half·alive - Summerland (Visualette)
Музыка
From ‘Give Me Your Shoulders Pt. 1’ Out Now
halfalive.lnk.to/GMYSPT1
“Summerland” was created from a conversation about patterns I had with my uncle in Oakland sometime last year, specifically, about the patterns of life as seen through the seasons… How the seasons show us the same pattern of the day, & of our life stage, & so much more. I became so fascinated by this pattern & how structural it is to music & art & literature.. The romance & fruit of summer (noon, maturity), giving way to the dramatic dying of Autumn (sunset, old age), to the death of Winter (midnight, death), & the rebirth of Spring (sunrise, youth).
We’ve always wanted to write a summer song, but the depth of this story made it feel like the summer song of all summer songs. It’s night swims & dancing & late nights with friends & the beach & sun tans, but it’s so much more as well. Summer is the beginning & the end of the story, the golden hour of romance, where all of life is at peace with God & each other & in ourselves, where freedom is savored & where we want to remain forever. So at a glance, it’s just a summer song, but under the surface, it’s that & so much more.

Think of it like a low effort music video with lyrics on screen
this song sounds like what i’m starting to feel like, regarding the outlook of life, after years of battling with major depressive disorder and anxiety disorder. obviously it’s not gone, but with school out and me getting older, i’m starting to allow myself to breathe and i’m noticing i’m doing so much better than i was maybe a year ago. i love you guys, whenever i’m feeling down and stressed i listen to your music. you guys are raw, authentic, beautiful, and talented and im so glad i found you when i did ❤️☀️🍁🌳🌊 edit: i didn’t expect to get so many likes omg!!! i hope that those who read this are doing well and if anyone can relate you’re strong and i’m proud of you ❤️✨🤍💜💗

I feel that what I like the most about this is just the lightness of it. All of HAs other music is very deep and comtemplative whereas this, while still being layered and exotic and colorful, is just more confident feeling. It kind of has like a nothing can get in the way of my happiness vibe that makes it more relaxing and refreshing to listen to. Anyway love u guys, the song is amazing ❤️

Dude you literally took the words out of my mouth. I totally agree 100%. Most of their material on their first album, “Now, Not Yet,” is pure gold (no pun intended), but I find that their songs on that debut LP are way more involved in more thought-provoking matters, like difficulty with spirituality, and coping with breakups with romantic partners, and even friends. Definitely more serious topics that were intertwined with anxiety and depression. However, this song is the complete opposite. I find that they’re truthfully just telling us after a horrendous year of 2020, to just roll the windows down PCH, sing till hearts are filled and let go of all the BS. Damn. The power of this song is unparalleled. 🤘🏽
I swear half•alive is dragging me into a courtroom with every song they release. All so they can present to me more evidence as to why they should be my favorite band. But they have already won their case, so at this point they are just doing it to flex.

This is the optimistic, no sadness allowed, purely energetic song that I need right now. I've listened to in non-stop since it was uploaded. You never cease to amaze me half·alive. I'll be listening to this all month, in the fall when I miss summer, and the winter, and the spring, and every time I'll be teleported back right here. To Summerland. Thanks.
I've been waiting all day, let's go--TIME 2 VISIT SUMMERLAND!

Indie groups are lovely and strange at the same time because you never know how to find another group with the sound you hear from one, they're too unique.
And so, a new era begins
Why does Josh always have to have the best and most meaningful ideas and lyrics for songs? Wow.
The second I saw the pop-up of a new half Alive song I had to announce it to my family and we all ran to go watch it lol
I don't have words to describe how much I loved this. I'm crying, lol.

LYRICS if you prefer comments everything is freedom ’til the seasons change & the trees start dying & the sunlight leaves your face hear the crack of lightning where your heart will break into new beginnings beginning to erase- but something ‘bout May makes it all feel better, baby Summerland holds what i want right now it’s like the hoodie you find & you wear forever, baby whatever ain’t golden now will only come back around when summer comes I’mma cut my hair take a long drive heading anywhere be dancing all night with all my friends sitting on the shores of Summerland, oh now the year is aging & the shadows grow & the color’s fading & the people start to slow like a crowded station where the air is cold all the strangers waiting on the train that could bring them home but something ‘bout May makes it all feel better, baby Summerland holds what i want right now it’s like the hoodie you find & you wear forever, baby whatever ain’t golden now will only come back around when summer comes I’mma cut my hair Take a long drive heading anywhere be dancing all night with all my friends sitting on the shores of Summerland it’s all golden every moment dancing all night with all my friends sitting on the shores of Summerland flowing rivers it’s all romance dancing all night with all my friends sitting on the shores of Summerland something ‘bout May makes it all feel better, baby Summerland holds what i want right now it’s like the hoodie you find & you wear forever, baby whatever ain’t golden now will only come back around when summer comes I’mma cut my hair Take a long drive heading anywhere be dancing all night with all my friends sitting on the shores of Summerland it’s all golden every moment dancing all night with all my friends sitting on the shores of Summerland flowing rivers it’s all romance dancing all night with all my friends sitting on the shores of Summerland we’re golden in Summerland i’m coming back to you (also i write songs inspired by Jeremy Zucker/Lauv. I'd love if you give a shot to my music and subscribe 'cause most probably you won't regret

as someone who lives in a tropical climate and is constantly in "summer weather" it´s always very interesting how seasons are felt and portrayed when they change and most times its hard to understand the ideal of summer, but i think i kinda get it with this song (also the description)
Ah yes, Summerland and bummerland, 2 of my favorite songs
Whatever ain’t golden now, will only come back around. Love that line!
wow
i’m travelling 6 hours to go to uni in september, this song could not have come at a better time while i’m experiencing my last summer at home!
Best notification KZread has ever given me

this is the definition of a summer song.
After listening to the song, I can say wonderful job, wonderful visual. Captures the perfect summer feeling of the warmth and passion and color that the season brings. Absolutely perfect well done. Always feel close to god in the summer. This song feels like what it’s like to drive with windows down on the highway and feel free again.

This song represents how I want my last month of summer to be. Time feels like it's just been swirling past me and I really wanna start holding onto all of the good memories I can with the teen years I have left, love your music & spirit you guys!! Keep it up 💖☀️
Im crying😭💘
Me encanta la canción, son los mejores half alive
I cannot describe the pure joy I feel whenever half•alive releases a new song. Thank you so much!!!
This is a gem. When Winter comes, I'll be playing this and still feel like it's summerland.
I’ve been waiting for the golden to come back around for years now. Grab hold of your youth. Summerland is precious.

Oh!!! We just got back from a family vacation in San Diego and this song captures it perfectly! But I also love the depth of Josh’s meaning behind the seasons. Peace with God, each other and ourselves. It is the Summer we are all longing for. Jesus is the way, the truth and the life!!!

What a beautiful band, my God
This song scratches an itch in my brain and heart that I didn't know I had. I don't know what it is about this song but it sounds and feels like an emotion in itself. The sort of surreal, notlstalgic, tear inducing happiness that I feel when I'm just wandering around outside at night or just sitting and vibing in the middle of nowhere with no one other than myself No noise other than my thoughts Truly relaxed and at ease
every song you guys put out is golden. i love it.
I'm in love with this song, what a great vibe! ❤️

@@bluetuba247 Thanks, its gonna be intimidating at first but a word of advice do things with a purpose, you cant get nervous when you have priorities, you should start with simple goals, you can make it as easy as you want it to be, then go forward from there. For example my goal right now is to pass my exams every semester and i started being open to the activities at my school, my reason is to try things atleast once and see if i like the things i did. Had some mistakes and struggles but hey i challenged myself not to repeat them and also when meeting new people make sure to look them in the eyes and figure their eye color, eye contact helps build empressions on others (Im an introvert but i tried my best not to miss out and it was ok if i did) I wish you luck and also have fun, its only fun if you try to make it fun❤
