You guys don't get it but to me this is PEAK music individuality. This band OWNS the style they create within every album they release. half·alive really does bring out the thing I love the most in music.
@smallsignals ah yes I remember all those bands that used carpet fur space creatures to do choreography and build a story back in the early 2ks. You're so right. Edit: the guy deleted his reply but he said "it's not indvidual or original, it's just like early 2000s music"
@@X3N1TH no. It’s more the pairing of “hypermasculine” environment with hyper-unison broadway-cum-streets choreography - reads a little bit 80s. Plus, we so quirky, we do creepy stuffed toy.
Bringing back actual music and music videos that just f-ing vibe. They aren’t literal, spoon fed to us like babies. They make you think, open your mind, actually SEE something different and is able to resonate. It’s a beautiful, hopeful thing. I’m so beyond happy and grateful I found them (The Fall) and my kids now love them. They saw them live a few years back. My oldest has the “now not yet” album cover huge tapestry hanging on her wall from a show I sent them to. I Can’t wait to go see them with my girls. -43 mom of 22,20 and 17 year old daughters.
Similar. I'm a 51yo mother of six and HA is our family's band. I took my 18yo and two of her friends to their show in Anaheim last year. I am pretty sure I was the oldest one there and I knew every lyric and danced to every song. When there is a band that EVERYONE in our big family loves, that's amazing.
When I read the lyrics, it seems that I understand but at the same time I don’t understand a thing, what kind of dimension is this world of half•alive, love it!
So happy to see the growth of this group and you all. Once upon a time, i felt like i was the only one who knew half alive... Im so thrilled that people are happy and involved in their music
Ngl. When I was younger I wouldn’t think filming and dancing this would be fun. But genuinely what a fun dance and song. It’d be so much fun to be part of the choreography!
Man, these guys release a new video and more times than not I am instantly obsessed with the choreography. This is definitely one of those instantly-obsessed ones.
I am so excited for this album. Half Alive has been my favorite band for over four years now and I’ve seen them three times!! I wasn’t really feeling Sophie’s house when it came out but Automatic is absolutely fantastic!! Listen to it four times now!!
I just discovered you a few weeks ago when I stumbled across "Sophie's House." Since, your music has been my go-to music and has helped me through some challenging life transitions. Looking forward to this song and your album! Thank you for your beautiful music!
Hjsfkdgjsfh but srsly, everything H•A puts out scratches an itch in my soul. Like-- the choreography makes my ribcage rattle, the camera work feels fresh like sunlight filtering through the leaves, the vocals are like vibrant neon orange. The baseline, my GODS, dude. Genuinely so excited for this album.
At 1:37 something made me emotional for a moment, I have little idea what for, but if I try to explain it, its the "monster"/"outcast" starting to find other connection other than fear and fright after being misunderstood for a bit.
these monsters pulled me in from the thumbnail, and am SO glad I watched. song is incredible and your creativity is unique af. excited to dive into the rest of your music now
@@animetrashamvs I can only find a "back around" which was cool, some of those vocal echos&screams were tyler joseph esque which was cool. appreciate the recommendation!
Love the song and the video! They feel like SCPs. A remnant of an old forgot kids cartoon that wanders around forcing anyone it comes into contact with to dance with it uncontrollably till exhaustion.
I wont lie i realized, the way Sophies house opens. its like that little bit of music at the start i cant wait to see what that transitions from THIS HOWEVER this. this is art
God didnt reveal the message in this song until last night, where I felt it resonate with a state of mind and being I find myself in often, I had feared you guys were going to steer towards full secular music, I'm glad and humbled to know I was wrong- rather, it took my humbling to allow me to see the message. May God make your path continuous and bright and may the words of your songs stir the Holy Spirit in the souls of those who are lost or ailing, for God lets us know the message when we are want of it, when we need it.
I have listened to this countless times since and I only just noticed the choreography - which I don't really care about in music videos usually but this one enraptured me with a happiness and want to replicate the movements and do it myself that I've never felt before- (run on sentence my bad) but I only just noticed that the "look away out of habit pull yourself together" movements ACTUALLY PLAY OUT THE WORDS!!! I LOVE THIS- ESPECIALLY SINCE ITS CLEARLY REFERENCING THE SONG LYRICS AND NOT JUST COOL DANCE MOVEMENT!!!!- sorry- got really excited- keep it up half alive
i kinda feared the same thing too,, very grateful there's more focus on God in persona :D (edit) there was in coap, it's just more obvious in persona. He's been bringing these songs more to life to me, same with His Word, and it's RLLY COOL ‼️
Anyone else realize that the car they’re working on is a Porsche 911, which has the engine in the back and the trunk in the front, so in reality the actors are looking intently into the trunk
Yeah, I believe that’s intentional. These guys are so intentional about their lyrics and videos. The whole song is about how we’re all avoiding truth going through pretending everything is fine. So they “look” like they’re doing true work on the car, but in reality they’re in the trunk not the engine. I could also be way over thinking it and be very wrong. But I like to let my imagination loose.
AUTOMATIC LYRICS--------
VERSE-------
watch the world burn
kiss it away
notice your heart
breaking like waves
paint your eyes bright
pretending to sleep
distracted while your background changes
permanently
PRE-------
in my head wondering what are we losing?
in my head wondering is it too late?
caught in my throat is my shot at redemption
i start to lose it
everyone wondering what is the future
everyone telling themself it’s okay
if it’s all broken then is it worth fixing?
i’m sick of losing
CHORUS-------
non-stop automatic
living in delusion
look away out of habit
pull yourself together
everybody’s talking ‘bout it
still you keep your head down
lose yourself in the static
blame it on each other
VERSE 2------
people speak out
people are freaks
power goes out
sweat til it bleeds
never trust you
never trust me
asking how’d it happen
find it hard to believe
PRE-------
in my head wondering what are we losing?
in my head wondering is it too late?
caught in my throat is my shot at redemption
i start to lose it
CHORUS-------
non-stop automatic
living in delusion
look away out of habit
pull yourself together
everybody’s talking ‘bout it
still you keep your head down
lose yourself in the static
blame it on each other
BRIDGE-------
I’m sick of losing
Wish more artists would just post song lyrics
Props to you for also marking the song structure

Y'all's writing is so elegant yet feels so sorrowful and passionate. A heartbreaking hit, to be sure.
Hard and lovely.
I was NOT ready for that guitar distortion, it felt so criminally good
But also terrible and ouchies to the ear a little bit?! 👉👈
nah it's just great and a nice variety to standard pop-adjacent stuff
Bruh it’s the best part about the song
I love when the Choreography monster curses blue collar workers to yoinky sploinky🗣🔥🔥🔥

Literally me

@@X3N1TH honestly after like the 5th time i saw dancing furry space creature music lore in the early 2000s i just stopped paying attention
"you guys don't get it" yeah okay, bud. We get it. you're special. You're the only one who understands. We're all just too dumb to get it.
Couldn't have said it better myself
Can't wait to have this on loop until the album drops, alr know it's a banger
If you have the chance to see these guys live, do it. Best band I've ever seen live. Insane experience
seen them twice and absolutely best shows of my life, hands down 💯💯💯💯💯
praying they come to kansas
Not sure how big my chances are seeing as I'm in Germany 😂 and most of the time they never come to my town despite it being the 2nd biggest lmao
I second this, their entire performance is pure art
Saw them at ACL last year, was incredible

My 10 yr old child loves them like I do. And he wants to come to a live show! It's cool to have that with your kids
bro is king of the Ministry of Silly Walks
Bro is the ministry ceo, we love that for him
the fact that the muppet man monster blinks was the most horrifying shock after only looking at the static album cover the past few weeks
i love it
randomly came across this video and wow this is a gem
pretty good huh
The entire library of this bands music is AMAZING
@@Lgdg143 ^
You're in for a treat if you haven't heard the rest of their music.

Yep new album will be 🔥
I like finding new music that my ears like …..a lot of music does that but only some make me keep coming back
This is the coolest music video I've seen in years. I wish more bands made videos like this again. This would've killed on MTV
🗣️NON STOP AUTOMATIC🗣️
🗣LIVIN IN DELUSION🗣
not what i expected half.alive's fursonas to look like, but i love them all the same
This right here is an AUTOMATIC addition to my playlist
half alive choreo goes so hard and is so gorgeous
good time to be a fan of half alive 💫
🇲🇽
A half alive song I don't have to stay up until 2am to watch the premiere!!!
The look of absolute terror the actors portrayed seeing that muppet man mirrored my own…and then they DANCE 👏🏾😝
Sometimes when I’m all alone and no one can hear me I’ll just go 2:33
This album is phenomenal. Thank you for releasing such genuine yet energetic work. I hope to see yall in concert someday!!! Come to Texas please :)
2:37 our generations thriller
Awww, that early 2000 feeling!!! How is this song not blowing up!
a song about people ignoring global warming is exactly what i need rn. love an angry song from these guys
I am so excited for this album. Half Alive has been my favorite band for over four years now and I’ve seen them three times!! I wasn’t really feeling Sophie’s house when it came out but Automatic is absolutely fantastic!! Listen to it four times now!!

I’m digging the different vibe. Almost a little punky
Kinda coming back to the sound they had in 3
Kinda reminds me of a mix of 3 and Give me your shoulders pt. 1
what crack did you guys put into this pre-chorus 😭😭😭
We've come a long way since the beginning. Y'all still got it. You make me feel human.

I love the quick flipping the bird at the sky gesture they do at 1:54
Really proud of my algorithm right now. Dang, this is a bop.

Half alive what a movement 🫶🏻.
You make me feel alive, come back to Ireland 🤞🏻.
Song is fire. Props to the video crew, choreographer, and dancers. This looked tough to nail
This is truly fantastic. This album has been so visceral, so beautifully uncomfortable, that I just feel okay being... me.

Man, Christian is a force of nature to watch in real life, I'm so stoked to see him in a music video

This is brilliant and might soon become my favourite song by Half Alive! You're great guys, I really wanna see you live, please come to Poland soon
this is a masterpiece!!!! come to brazil half alive por favor i cant die without seeing you guys live
love the vocals on the chorus

Ok, today I was on a music kick, and was listening to All American Rejects and then this song got so stuck in my brain. I love this type of music!!!!!
Crunchier than a pool of spicy nacho Doritos. Send help, can't stop binging
Dem muppets make me uneasy, i love them so much
Love this new album btw
Love from Nigeria ❤
This is such a different sound for them and I am totally here for it
Just discovering these guys. Flashback to a time when the music industry didn't feel like a music factory
Please come back to tour the UK! Seeing you in Manchester was the best gig I ever went to 💜😭
Idk how I got here. But it's jammable. 👍
Already one of my favorites
