@@hannahpuelle2748 yeah, only 2 songs on this album are from the 50 song project, and even during that time the others did come together to write some of them. The 50 song project was more just an exercise to get better at songwriting
“I see the walls that are torn and bent. A tug of war in the now, not yet.” Am I the only one who finds this part so satisfying? Now, not yet is fun to say.
"seeking victory inside a death" how cool is it that this song is a mainstream song describing what it's like to trust, but also seems particularly and not-so-subtly about trusting in salvation, trusting in God's promises, trusting in hope of heaven... like that's just ridiculously cool.
@@uncleiroh3497 That's exactly what's magical about it!!! It avoids being preachy, yet it still gives a beautiful message to those who want to interpret it that way :D
I read in an article that the band is Christian, and they like to incorporate "Christian themes, but not Bible-thumping, messages of hope", so I don't think they are a Christian band, but a lot of their music does talk about their beliefs and stuff
“I have faith that the world I'm in Will be redeemed to its place again But there's a weight that I can't explain So tell me why I feel this way,” powerful stuff... World’s future is so uncertain...
Lyrics: [Verse 1] Trust is like a pond of murky water Too dark to see, mysteriously undercover I can't jump off the high dive even though I really want to My toes are hanging off the ledge Trust is a tree that towers fifty feet above us Grown over time through many seasons Believing in something more than just the surface I trust that this is worth it But my toes are hanging off the ledge [Pre-Chorus] Lord help me, there’s a thorn in my side I feel the tension and the fear in truth I carry life in between the divide But all the wrestling has left me bruised How sweet, the taste of certainty That gift You gave is safe with me [Chorus] Hold to this- significance And lean into the process Rest and know- the love You hold Won't be taken back, no How sweet, the taste of certainty That gift You gave is safe with me Na, na, na, na, na [Verse 2] Trust is like the middle of the ocean Can't see the bottom but I’m floating here, supported I know that it can take me even deeper if I let it But my limbs are trying to swim away It's like a tree that towers fifty feet above us Grown over time through many seasons Believing in something more than just the surface I trust that this is worth it But my toes are hanging off the ledge [Chorus] Hold to this- significance Lean into the process Rest and know- the love You hold Won't be taken back, no How sweet, the taste of certainty (Releasing hope to carry me) How sweet, the taste, never let it go, no (Na, na, na, na, na) [Bridge] I see the walls that are torn and bent The tug of war in the now, not yet Holding back what they can contain Can You tell me why I feel this way I have faith that the world I'm in Will be redeemed to its place again But there's a weight that I can't explain So tell me why I feel this way [Outro] Tell me why I feel this way Tell me why I feel this way Tell me why I feel this way Tell me why I feel this way How sweet, the taste of certainty Releasing hope to carry me (moving deeper in a place of rest) (seeking victory inside a death) (speaking slowly when i’m out of breath) (losing confidence between the steps) (finding center when i’m breaking left) (wasting water in a desert bed) (chasing wind outside the promised land) (know the story isn’t over yet) Na, na, na, na, na
Trusting in God that He will make everything right again. It's hard to see Him in the middle of a struggle, but He will reveal his plan to you in time. His love won't let you go, even if it might feel like it. Trust, and lean into the process ❤️
god damn I feel the depths of this song on such a spiritual level it's so hard to hold that trust with someone, to fully commit yourself to them and hope they do the same for you just aaaaaaa
out of every single song in this album, this one is the one that resonates with me the most. All my life I've been a very distrustful person untill I met my best friend. Hearing this song, it reminds me of the time when I was still learning to trust her. Now she's the best support I've ever had and I wouldn't even trade her for the world ❤️
im so shocked at how good this song is, it gives u feeling that u cant identify but u also can at the same time, more people need to know about half alive, this music is actually next level.
I love this song. It perfectly describes how I felt in the last moments interacting with someone I loved before I cut off contact. Looking at the surface of that relationship and wanting to trust that person but ultimately holding back, the walls having torn down. I finally questioned if it was ok why I felt that way, and a transition to redeeming my world to its place again.
The last couple lines are so quite i didnt even know they exsisted until i looked a the lyrics in the description moving deeper in a place of rest seeking victory inside a death speaking slowly when i’m out of breath losing confidence between the steps finding center when i’m breaking left wasting water in a desert bed chasing wind outside the promised land know the story isn’t over yet
I love how even if you don’t believe in god you can listen and relate to this song. Because it’s subtlety hinting to trust in god and salvation but if you don’t believe in that you can take it as trust in another person. There’s not many songs like that out there
This songs speaks of the worries I feel in my soul and how I often make a silent prayer under my breath when I am afraid. What a comfort listening to this song
Oh Hi me from last year I had no idea you listened to this before. Strangely, I found it during my great time of worry and anxiety, which is right now. What a strange ways God always lead us back to a place
This song is literally perfecting to my ears. I loved it when I first heard it but every time I listen to it again I hear more and more going on in the background. It’s just genius. By far my favorite song
OH MY GOSH! I LOVE YOUR GUYS' MUSIC! YOU'RE MY FAVORITE BAND! These songs really help to lift my spirits at times like this! Your guys' music does a really good job at being catchy, having a good message, and just being outright amazing! Thank you SO much for such amazing and uplifting music! ^w^
To be frank I never thought they had this much potential and mad creativity in them by hearing still feel before... ... Glad that I followed them and now I can hear some rare unique stuff which I am sure is half alives own style of music and art..... Long way to go with your talent but I don't know how much because of noways mostly seen distasteful dead by heart and brain audience ♥️.
To me this song is about the dwindling trust you have in other people after a life of failed friendships and relationships, but trying to remain optimistic in the face of meeting new people with that little voice in the back of your head trying to discourage you by telling you everyone you ever meet is just going to be the same.
Guys, your music really is art, it's the best I can hear every day and I swear there is nothing that makes me change my mind, I follow them from their song "the fall" and since then I fell in love with their style .. .. THEY ARE THE BEST!!!!!!!!!
Halfalive is criminally underrated
True :((
IDKHow and Half Alive are both criminally unheard of
@@chrishansen4688 Amen
Honestly yeah
sad but true
That "na, na, na, na, na" part is such an earworm
Everything they make is an earworm, tbh
Ladies and gents we are seeing the amazing signature style of Half Alive that is unique to its own :)))
Thanks god we are :)
They're one of the most interesting bands out there rn
@@euanmangan7760 i super agree they are so niche that it cannot be compared to any band they are SOOOOO UNIQUE :)))

this song is like a really good scented candle
Why is thus accurate
It's a simile!

I agree!
I've been listening to a few songs now and started wondering about the christian lyrical element, the thorn in my flesh line gave it away
I'm not..... religious in anyway, but that won't stop me from listening!!! lol

Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
Trust is like a pond of murky water
Too dark to see, mysteriously undercover
I can't jump off the high dive even though I really want to
My toes are hanging off the ledge
Trust is a tree that towers fifty feet above us
Grown over time through many seasons
Believing in something more than just the surface
I trust that this is worth it
But my toes are hanging off the ledge
[Pre-Chorus]
Lord help me, there’s a thorn in my side
I feel the tension and the fear in truth
I carry life in between the divide
But all the wrestling has left me bruised
How sweet, the taste of certainty
That gift You gave is safe with me
[Chorus]
Hold to this- significance
And lean into the process
Rest and know- the love You hold
Won't be taken back, no
How sweet, the taste of certainty
That gift You gave is safe with me
Na, na, na, na, na
[Verse 2]
Trust is like the middle of the ocean
Can't see the bottom but I’m floating here, supported
I know that it can take me even deeper if I let it
But my limbs are trying to swim away
It's like a tree that towers fifty feet above us
Grown over time through many seasons
Believing in something more than just the surface
I trust that this is worth it
But my toes are hanging off the ledge
[Chorus]
Hold to this- significance
Lean into the process
Rest and know- the love You hold
Won't be taken back, no
How sweet, the taste of certainty
(Releasing hope to carry me)
How sweet, the taste, never let it go, no
(Na, na, na, na, na)
[Bridge]
I see the walls that are torn and bent
The tug of war in the now, not yet
Holding back what they can contain
Can You tell me why I feel this way
I have faith that the world I'm in
Will be redeemed to its place again
But there's a weight that I can't explain
So tell me why I feel this way
[Outro]
Tell me why I feel this way
Tell me why I feel this way
Tell me why I feel this way
Tell me why I feel this way
How sweet, the taste of certainty
Releasing hope to carry me
(moving deeper in a place of rest)
(seeking victory inside a death)
(speaking slowly when i’m out of breath)
(losing confidence between the steps)
(finding center when i’m breaking left)
(wasting water in a desert bed)
(chasing wind outside the promised land)
(know the story isn’t over yet)
Na, na, na, na, na
Crystal Waters their lyrics are poetry, truly beautiful
Thanks for the lyrics, I appreciate it
Well , the lyrics are in the description of the video but, Thanks
Pablo Rivero yeah, but some people don’t realize it and want them in the comments
@@crystalwaters8601 i appreciate the effort none the less.
thinking-back-on-how-they-said-capitals-matter-and-wondering-what-that-means-in-these-song-titles hours
Maybe they make up a message???
it means TT and I say T-T cause this shit bangs
tt. titty
I think it's because if you read trust backwards it's tsurt which kinda sounds like t(hi)s (h)urt because things you trust can hurt you
they also said capitalization is a construct so you know, take it with a grain of salt
i literally have no words to describe how much i love this song
"but there's a weight that i can't explain, so tell me why i feel this way" hits deep
Sounds like forgotten heartache lol
the way he sings "my toes are hanging off the ledge" reminds me so deeply of something and it's killing me,,,,
Nice icon :)
Honestly there is something so unique to Half·Alive that makes me proud to say I'm a fan
Hi Emo fren!!
Hi Emo fren!!
this soundss like something you would hear in a small pizzeria with a vintage vibe and its great
omg i get what you mean YES
the kind of song you know you're gonna make great memories to
Toes tapping on linoleum and pepperoni in the air
@@jauxro YES!!
leslie I made pizza while this song was playing... does that count?
3:18 to the end is soooo satisfying
0:00 to the end is soooo satisfying
THIS SONG IS A MASTERPIECE AND NO ONE CAN SAY OTHERWISE
this song has to be the best in this banger of an album, well done
Trusting in God that He will make everything right again. It's hard to see Him in the middle of a struggle, but He will reveal his plan to you in time. His love won't let you go, even if it might feel like it. Trust, and lean into the process ❤️
Amen
Favourite song, definitely best in the album it's amazing
This song is totally worthy of it's own videoclip
I HAVE FAITH THAT THE WORLD IM IN WILL BE REDEEMED TO ITS PLACE AGAIN
but there's a weight that i can't explain
so tell me why i feel this way!
In the last six months of the 2010s we were here together, meeting music we'd love for all the years after ✌️
wait WHAT it just hit me the 10s can't be over yet!!! no way😱
I already love it at 0:01
god damn I feel the depths of this song on such a spiritual level
it's so hard to hold that trust with someone, to fully commit yourself to them and hope they do the same for you
just aaaaaaa
I still play this nearly every day. So good.
3:04 love the transition.
Feel I'm in a cosmic space
This is the best halfalive song in my opinion
Actual Facts Though
creature:
can we just take a second and appreciate how that trumpet turns into a violin (or other stringed instrument) at 0:38
out of every single song in this album, this one is the one that resonates with me the most. All my life I've been a very distrustful person untill I met my best friend. Hearing this song, it reminds me of the time when I was still learning to trust her. Now she's the best support I've ever had and I wouldn't even trade her for the world ❤️

I can totally agree :) We can say it's Pure Gold
@@mayastoyanova7143 This amount of stuff Made in Glory is too much
All of these songs are so beautiful!!
I've been using this song as my bass playing warmup before practice sessions, it's such a good song and fun bassline
All this new music is going to get me through this next semester of college 👌 Honestly, love you guys
The lyrics are so beatiful wtf
This song is so deep and explains exactly how I'm feeling
the bit after the bridge sounds like it should play in a high budget action movie during a parachute scene and i love it
3:10 oh boy whats this, i like it
3:24 wait what's happening
3:33 holy shi-
3:37 *mind shatters*
1:41 ooooooo this part yessssss the groove
Tai Moya RIGHT
I love that half-time shuffle at 1:16 . It's close to the Purdie shuffle, but not quite there yet. Beautiful.
Best in the album, just a FACT
Charlie Rowe maybe is
Stop sleeping on _creature_
Trust
Maybe
Creature
Those are top three
"...and thats a rock fact!"
i like Arrow
how sweet the taste of certainty. What a beautiful song My God!
I agree, the taste of certain tea is sweet.
Certainty
im so shocked at how good this song is, it gives u feeling that u cant identify but u also can at the same time, more people need to know about half alive, this music is actually next level.

Can’t wait to see you guys perform tonight

That beginning makes me travel to a peacefull world like nothing did before

I only after listening, realised that I needed this song in my life
Can't begin to describe how much this song means to me. It is the only song I can listen to when I'm discouraged that makes me feel better.
This song is all of my dreams wrapped up into sound
Alright you just gotta *trust* me when I say this is a bop
For some reason there is just this uniqueness to their songs like no other
Thank you for this beauty of a song and album 😤😤
half alive writes the most beautiful songs.
half·alive is killing it.
To me this song is about the dwindling trust you have in other people after a life of failed friendships and relationships, but trying to remain optimistic in the face of meeting new people with that little voice in the back of your head trying to discourage you by telling you everyone you ever meet is just going to be the same.
dude, still don't understand 'bout your comment, but somehow I did, and we're kinda like same person
This is the greatest song of all time and no one realises it yet.
It really is
it really is the best song in the world
everything about this song is *chefs kiss*
That end tho, it's so good...
for some wild reason i get vibes of a mixture of cosmo sheldrake and hippo campus with this song
love you half•alive
THESE SONGS ARE ALL *B O P S* 🥺😎
The tug of war in the now not yet... DANG HITS DIFFERENT
this song slaps, an absolute tune. thank you that’s all.
this is such late night chill vibes
THIS. And "Creature". Bring it on!
Guys, your music really is art, it's the best I can hear every day and I swear there is nothing that makes me change my mind, I follow them from their song "the fall" and since then I fell in love with their style .. .. THEY ARE THE BEST!!!!!!!!!
This will end up being regarded as the best song of the album, mark my words.
I'm glad that this song has 1 million views now, it definitely deserves more!
h/a once again reels me back into loving their songs
i see the *walls* that are **torn** and **bent**
the *tug of war* in the n o w , n o t y e t ]\[
Wow I've waited a long time to discover this album! I'm not disappointed! It's like Half alive changed and have always be the same, I love it!
ボーカルの入りがかっこよすぎる
3:05 is soooooooooo goood
You guys are so underrated it's criminal
Okay but this really bops woah
This is one of their best songs. They are so unique tbh, I can't compare them to any other band. And I don't even say this because I'm a fan.
this just might be my favourite song off the album, i just.....its perfect.
天才すぎる
My trust-issue-riddled-ass love this song. My absolute favorite off the album for sure.
this one. THIS ONE is my favorite now not yet song
