It's sadder to realize that the father is trying to get her to do the dance she does at the end when she was a kid with him one last time before he left. She's upset and doesn't do it, and by the time she does he's already gone. She can only dance without him now.

Every time I listen to this song I can't get over how much it sounds like the singer is smiling as he says "Shirt's on backwards, Not on purpose". I don't think I've heard any songs with such clear yet subtle emotion like Half Alive's. Easily one of my favorite bands. Never stop doing what you enjoy and thank your for sharing your art.
what I understand from this story...: he got drafted into the army and left his 10 year old daughter on her birthday. She was so heartbroken and hurt by him leaving her, she couldn't open the letter/birthday card he left her.... until she was older. She felt regret and restless from not reading it earlier and now she lost him, unable to thank him.. I don't know how close I am, but that's my outlook on it... beautiful storyline nonetheless. these guys never fail to amaze me! GEESH!
I just realised this time and had to scroll down to find this. Your comment needs to be higher up, it's such a good video, but to appreciate it you need to know what's happening.
That makes a lot of sense because it would be odd for someone else to be opening a letter addressed for his daughter's tenth birthday. In the last scene the little girl holds her hand to her shoulder (a motion of self comfort) which the lady also does.
@@luisfernando552 Yeah, a lot of pop artists' videos have dancing (which I love so much). But I'm talking about the 'normal' bands I see, that's why I said this one's unique :)
Kinda started sobbing towards the end ngl I feel connected with this song and all that it entails due to being a military kid. I just relate to the message overall and I'm so in love with this band
This is 100% about his great grandfather going to WWII and leaving Josh's grandmother the ring... so powerful and such an amazing song. By far my favorite band and so many songs that move me emotionally.
this song hits hard every time, my dad went in and out home since I was 6, I got angry with him, the goodbyes were never easy because we never knew if he was coming back.... but time passed and I understood him, and I find that everything we are is everything we should be
After hearing the song many many times, I have to comment how the line- "What I am, what, I am, what I am, what I am Is something more than I can plan" is soo good!

The artistry, choreography and emotional resonance depicted in this music video is poignant yet succinct. The song that serves as it's vehicle is enhanced by the weight of it's melancholic climax of us realizing he's shipping off during WW2. This could quite possibly be the greatest music video ever made. Who ever directed this was clearly moved and inspired by the song. This is pure craftsmanship.
Look at the community page...Joseph Avet. He's playing a character. usgenwebsites.org/LATerrebonne/military/soldiers/WW2draftcards.html look at this list for Avet. The year of birth is significant
The number of surreal things that happen in this video and the possible meanings is amazing. My favorite is when you see the father leaving for wherever. The door opens out, and is opened from the outside by the other two men. Not only is where he is going foreign to her, but it feels like he's being taken away from her as well.
Incredível I love the claustrophobia of closing in walls. I think half-alive portrays mental and emotional pain really well in all their videos, like disassociation or discontent
I saw an interpretation in another comment but just wanted to add my own. I believe that the father, drafted into the army, decided to write his daughter a letter for every one of her birthdays so that if he dies at war he will still be there with her to congratulate her birthday. Thats why there is so many letters in the binding. He died at war and his daughter, too heartbroken to read his letters, left it until she was older to finally read them. Her dancing at the end represents his father being there with her, as he taught her the dance.
I have daddy problems and I wanna forgive him. And the music video of it really reminds me of something. That I need to cherish my family more. I'm honestly grateful for the message I got from the video. Which is cherishing loved ones while you still can. Thank you Josh, J Tyler and Brett for this! I'm grateful for this work of art!! - Daiba, August 5th 2023
Asdfghjklñ GUYS! you definitely are my favorites, never in my life I’ve been so excited and active (comments, likes, follow personal accounts) about a band
When facing my depression and I tend not to get excited about anything anymore I stumbled upon a video describing how I was feeling and they told me “I literally don’t have to feel that way” then I came to the first realization of this part of the song “I don’t need to run away” meaning I don’t have to “end my life” cause I really didn’t find anything interesting about this world Then I got to find out about Christ and he showed me that I wasn’t depressed I was just longing for something different and everlasting which was him (Christ) and then this this line from the song I got to understand better “everything I am is everything I shouldn’t be” It’s like cognitive dissonance where the life you’re living isn’t lining up with the life you want to live Matthew 16:24 Jesus said to his disciples, “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me.” This was just what I was able to pick up from the song, half.alive God has helped me through your song and hopefully many others too, you’re a prophet of Jesus, and you also make good music. Keep enlightening lives through it, thank you And who ever is reading this, should try and give their entire life to Christ you would not regret it Christ only knows love nothing bad comes from him im a living testimony of his goodness upon my life

True story. I went to a Half Alive concert and after I realized my shirt was indeed on backwards, not on purpose. The perfect fan experience that you can never intentionally create.
I'm really happy that I discovered these guys before they started to get more popular. Every song is like a therapeutic hug tbh. It helps relieve the stress and negativity and gives me motivation. Keep doing what you're doing!!!
when I listen to this music, I just always cry. I don't know why, maybe just... that "I don't need to runaway" always gives me a feeling like, 'you are not running away, you can just cry, or yeah, you might be running away but you don't have to be scared by doing so'... Listened this first three years ago, and still I always run away from things and come back to here... realizing I wasn't a loser running away. cuz... I don't need to. right? Just thank you for this beautiful song. Really.
I love the smile in his voice at the beginning :)) This song is really cool-as is the video-but that’s anything but surprising, for anything by half•alive.
I was at their concert last night and Josh said that his great-grandfather died in WWII, leaving his grandmother at 6 years old. I think this video is based on that. Love them
Well yea, there's a reason people write songs. Clever lyrics are not empty. Even if genius isn't exactly on the mark, the whole point of art is to be experienced and analyzed through some form of biased lens.
@@instanttregret I have. Bill Wurtz's stuff is intentionally nonsensical but that doesn't mean that absolutely no meaning can be derived from it. I'd be willing to bet that Bill Wurtz definitely write with some form of purpose, even if its in very few of the lyrics. Plus, I did say its analysis through a biased lens. Someone *will* find something there.
I just love that you can hear the smile when he sings at the very beginning, and you can hear it go away as the scene transitions and they stop dancing around 0:20
It's so cool to see a band that uses dancing and music together, and then putting deeper meaning and emotion behind it. I just fund this band a couple weeks ago but every single song they have put out so far is amazing!!!
Very few modern bands impress me as much as Half Alive. Every time they surpass themselves and surprise their audience with beautiful music, meaningful lyrics and stunning visuals.But I think the thing I appreciate the most is that their music and videos are so pure and don't rely on the typical stuff that "sells' music like lots of girls or violence. It is even fun to think that they just might be a band future generations will consider a classic band, like Boston or Pink Floyd are considered today.
It's sadder to realize that the father is trying to get her to do the dance she does at the end when she was a kid with him one last time before he left. She's upset and doesn't do it, and by the time she does he's already gone. She can only dance without him now.
That makes me cry
Fat de ja vuè
fuck man, now i'm sad
But the question is what happens when the girl is alone at home who takes care of her?
:c
I'm so happy they let dancing become part of their brand
*Such a fully-formed aesthetic*
I know right? It's beautiful

Yes. This is great drumming, if my uncle hasn't already heard this, he'd appreciate it because he's been a drummer for years.

LYRICS
[Verse 1]
I've been searching, nothing’s working
I've been tripping, no one's perfect
Chasing vision, just the surface
Shirt’s on backwards, not on purpose, yeah
I've been learning, something bigger
Expectations, feet were failing
I found blessings flowing from
The sight of heaven
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Staring into my reflection, redirecting my perfection somewhere else
When there isn't any progress, lean on truth inside the promise, it is well
[Chorus]
I hold my life out in front of me, dreams of who I want to be
I'm seeing every empty page
I find that everything I am is everything I should be
I don't need to run away
I don't need to run away
I don't need to run away
[Verse 2]
Something's working, heart is turning
Vision’s clear, and still I’m learning
That what I am, what I am, what I am, what I am
Is something more than I can plan
Go, tell me now!
I don't need to run away
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Have I been standing on a stage, or just a mirror? I’m forced to face who I become
Searching for a new escape, I scan the exits that embrace an easy out
[Chorus]
I hold my life out in front of me, dreams of who I want to be
I'm seeing every empty page
I find that everything I am is everything I should be
I don't need to run away
I don't need to run away
(I don’t need to run away)
I don't need to run away
I don't need to run away
I don't need to run away
No, I don't need to run away

When facing my depression and I tend not to get excited about anything anymore I stumbled upon a video describing how I was feeling and they told me “I literally don’t have to feel that way” then I came to the first realization of this part of the song “I don’t need to run away” meaning I don’t have to “end my life” cause I really didn’t find anything interesting about this world
Then I got to find out about Christ and he showed me that I wasn’t depressed I was just longing for something different and everlasting which was him (Christ) and then this this line from the song I got to understand better “everything I am is everything I shouldn’t be”
It’s like cognitive dissonance where the life you’re living isn’t lining up with the life you want to live

aaAAh the smile in his voice in “shirt’s on backwards, not on purpose” ALWAYS makes me smile i love it
i love how you can hear him smiling
Who tf is chopping onions here! T
This short clip makes more feels than a full blown movie, great work!
Even before watching it, i know this video will be a bop
I love the smile in his voice at the beginning :)) This song is really cool-as is the video-but that’s anything but surprising, for anything by half•alive.
Sometimes I am convinced there is some higher being that won't let you find things until it's time. ❤
I was at their concert last night and Josh said that his great-grandfather died in WWII, leaving his grandmother at 6 years old. I think this video is based on that. Love them
Here before the comment section is full of “fifa 20” come October
This song will be a banger when the game comes out
It was in the FIFA 20 beta
Most fire song in the demo
It’s on there????
I really hope that they'll finally get the recognition they deserve after this fifa thing
Nobody:
Genius: *there has to be a DEEPER meaning*
Intellectual*
Well yea, there's a reason people write songs. Clever lyrics are not empty. Even if genius isn't exactly on the mark, the whole point of art is to be experienced and analyzed through some form of biased lens.
@@AxolotlDreams-u- search bill wurtz's songs lol
@@instanttregret I have. Bill Wurtz's stuff is intentionally nonsensical but that doesn't mean that absolutely no meaning can be derived from it. I'd be willing to bet that Bill Wurtz definitely write with some form of purpose, even if its in very few of the lyrics.
Plus, I did say its analysis through a biased lens. Someone *will* find something there.
Also my English teacher
i love this so much im honestly in shock
holy shit the walls physically closing in on her is such a cool effect
I love Brett and J’s little cameo at the end.
I just love that you can hear the smile when he sings at the very beginning, and you can hear it go away as the scene transitions and they stop dancing around 0:20
Instantly fell in love with this song ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
Im here because I love half alive and I JUST saw this song on the official despair time character playlist! So!! EEEEEE (hype.)
Idk who this song could be for because I'm thinking either David or Min but then again idk
Holly that feelings 😭😍
EA SPORTS.....
YOU OWE ME A FAVOR FOR LETTING ME EXPLORE SUCH THIS MASTERPIECE
So touching and wonderful. This band always amazes me with their music and dancing. I really hope I can see them in the future.
can't get over how good this song is, the song actually made me emotional towards the end. thank you half alive :)
It's so cool to see a band that uses dancing and music together, and then putting deeper meaning and emotion behind it. I just fund this band a couple weeks ago but every single song they have put out so far is amazing!!!
Half alive helped me with myself single handedly with this song as a mother 😊❤
For me he sounds genuinely happy to record this, cause at the start of the song you can probably realise he's smiling and at 1:07
Idk why but i really like this part at 1:17
Jyomin ITS THE COOLEST PaaaART!!
Me too
The timing is just so perfect
idk why but i think i'm the only one thinks I hear this song everytime I play career mode in FIFA 20
Very few modern bands impress me as much as Half Alive. Every time they surpass themselves and surprise their audience with beautiful music, meaningful lyrics and stunning visuals.But I think the thing I appreciate the most is that their music and videos are so pure and don't rely on the typical stuff that "sells' music like lots of girls or violence. It is even fun to think that they just might be a band future generations will consider a classic band, like Boston or Pink Floyd are considered today.
ughh i just adore them!!!!
The lyrics are amazingly deep and I can relate so much. Every time I listen to this song, it makes me cry.
