LYRICS
Why am I alive now?
I don’t want to be witness
Seeing all of this duress
Aching of our world
Why am I alive now?
I don’t want to feel this
Aching color of our world
Why am I alive now?
Watching all this going down
All the animals around
Watching Nature swoon and sigh
Watching all the water dry
Watch the sky fall to the Earth
Birds and insects looking for a place to hide
Why am I alive to watch this duress?
Why am I seeing this stress?
Hide me from my disease
Why am I alive now
Seems there’s nothing left hold
Except keep trying to accept
Hour after lonely hour
Collecting my mind
How did I arrive here?
I don’t know much of anything
Except that you will take my life
I don’t know why
I don’t want to see your face
Meeting me when it’s too late
Many people falling
Many people sighing
Once everything was a part of me
How did I come to be?
Now everything’s gone to the floor
And all I ever want is more
Feel the trees begin to leave
Smoke swallow each mountain side
A rail of tears leads to the sea
No more footsteps in the sand
All our memories are sinking
Into un-living
I don’t know
Why am I alive here?
I don’t know much of anything
I don’t know
I don’t know why I’m alive now!
ANOHNI is a global treasure she must be cherished,
curious that i was having a conversation with my 7 year old child about the meaning of life, as he kept asking me "how am i alive? how did i become conscious and alive, was i a little bee before?" and them this song showed up
"was i a little bee before?" is beautiful! 💗
I feel like it’s a new vocal colour from Anohni. Especially at the end of the song. And yet so unmistakably her. I love it. And I love the music video, it’s very beautiful.
A marvelous video by produced by Hunter Schafer, cfr. Euphoria
It feels so unrestrained all of a sudden compared to her past work, I love it too. So open and clear, a lot more forwards and direct.
Combined with the lyrics and themes it's heartbreaking in a new way. Instead of shy acceptance of fate there's loud and clear lamenting of how shit a lot of things currently are. I feel it.
@@AshleyRoth The way she sings "I don't know" at the end, speaks to so much, Mother Nature and life itself, it's tremendous
0:14 😊
The arrangement of strings on this is almost as beautiful as Anohni's voice, and that's saying something. What a masterwork.
Why am I alive now?
I don't want to be witness
Seeing all the distress
Aching of our world
Why am I alive now?
Why am I alive?
I don't want to feel this
Aching color of our world (aching of our world)
Why am I alive now?
Watching all this going down
All the animals around
Watching nature swoon and sigh
Watching all the water dry
Watch the sky fall to the Earth
Birds and insects looking for, for a place to hide
Why am I alive to watch this duress?
Why am I seeing this stress?
Hide me from my disease
Why am I alive now?
Seems there's nothing left to hold
Except keep trying to accept
Hour after lonely hour (after lonely hour)

All I ever want is more
Feel the trees begin to leave
Smoke swallow each mountain side
A rail of tears leads to the sea
No more footsteps in the sand
All our memories are sinking into un-living
I don't know
I don't kn-kn-know
I don't know
I don't know
I don't kn-kn-kn-know
I don't kn-know
I don't know
I don't know
Why am I alive here?
I don't know much of anything
I don't know
I don't know
I don't know
I don't know
I don't know
I don't know why I'm alive now!
I don't know why I'm alive now!
I don't know why I'm alive now!
I don't know
I don't know why I'm alive now!
This album is such a rich textural wonderful journey, good lord I just can't get enough of it. I feel like every time I listen to it over again I find more and more new little discoveries I didn't quite pick up on the prior listen.
Happiness is waking up to find a new ANOHNI song on RUclips ♡
SO RIGHT!!!!
For every other day, there's hopelessness.
@@Condog64 Luckily these songs open the doors to Another World of Paradise

This is absolutely and with no doubt one of the TOP 3 Albums of this year 2023 !!!
Amazing and mind-bashing !
Anohni and Producer pretend that their main influences were NINA SIMONE & JIMMY SCOTT.
But I also hear The Cowboy Junkies here and there, more often The Associates (Billy MacKenzie & Alan Rankine), and a lot of time Scott Walker.
Whatever the influences and inspirations were, this one is such a phantastic and brutal beautiful album !!!!!
THANK YOU, ANOHNI, thank you very much §
C.
The songs released so far reminds me of one of my favorite bands, the Tindersticks. Although I know they both have similar, older influences. I love these soulful 60s/70s strings.
This is an accurate and heartfelt comparison - I am grateful for it
😮 0:43
as a youn queer person i have never felt a more powerful connection to someone’s music then anohnis
In un panorama musicale tutto uguale, la musica di Anohni & The Johnsons si distingue per stile e bellezza cristalline. Gratitudine per questa ennesima perla. ❤
The sound is unreal, simply amazing.
Anohni's voice is in fine form, and I love the arrangement. Looking forward to the new album!
this is so real, thanks Anohni, thanks Hunter
This is simply beautiful music
"Why Am I Alive Now?" debuted on the New Alternative 40 Chart this week at #32
Hunter this is insanely good ! ❤️✨
I love how jazzy this new album is shaping up to be
Just a simple "Wow" - was reading about ANOHNI in my German newspaper "Die Zeit" - I am really more than impressed - thank you for this wonderful music, the performance and this video - congratulations 🙏👍❤️
Thank's for sending your love straight to our hearts! Best from Uruguay
3:24 This reminds me of Jean-Baptiste Carpeaux's statue "Les Quatre Parties du monde soutenant la sphère céleste" at the Musee d'Orsay in Paris
Zo moooi en de liefste zanger van de wereld.
Thank you for continuing to surprise and inspire ❤
onde estão os comentarios? a musica mais linda lançada em 2023 sem duvida
love from brazil! Beatiful video and song... amazing vocals!
This hits home in so many ways ❤
I want to live there!!! The colours the cool structures ?!?! Such a cool video, seriously is perfect

beautiful
It"s all so special your voice Anohni your music your melodie your impottant message...love you Eliane Belgium🎉
Is this song kind of the definition of happy sad dance?
So smooth.
Im not afraid to say: this is the music of the year
I love you so much, Anohni
This song is pleasantly disturbing, intense, chaotic, beautiful…Exactly what art is supposed to be. I want to dive into this everyday with all my soul.
Such an incredible album! Thank you Anohni for sharing art with us.
I can’t believe i’ll see your show in Madrid. What a blessing 💙
Excellent! Thank you.
Hauntingly gorgeous
Gorgeous!
This is so beautiful
I’m so happy and excited for Anohni!!! Her new tone of voice is much more intense, I’ve always connected with her emotions, her capabilities to own our loyalty to her career and her every single recording and video! I’m convinced she needs to start a World Tour that once she captures the audiences with an educated ear(85% of human beings) once the world understand who she is, what she has to give to the world, once that happens, her tour would likely end by 2099!!! She has so much and so much more than just her unbelievable compositions and interpretations! I’m dying to see her in concert! I’m saving big money, I will see her live no matter where but it better be soon!!!
Beautiful sorrow
I SEE YOU FASHION!!!! HAPPY TO SEE YOU GIRL!!
can't wait to see you perform. love you!
best album this year some love unlimited . love it . cooler than cool ❤🎩
Thank you for the offer of your inner world !
i ADORE her
Beautiful! Gave me goosebumps. And an air of joy?
choro td vez que ouço
I cry when I look at this vid every so often. It’s so true,so sad, and it must change. From a year ago we are at war in Ukraine and Israel is the bully beef of the Middle East. Do you think their god would want this. Where is love? It has to change or it’s the destruction of us all. Tolerance , love, laughter, safety…. We humans are capable of it.
New music and the Valentino soundtrack, we love to hear it. And hunter directed this lets goooo
Beautifully composed. Elegant passion of one's soul.
Beautiful 🥹😍
i love your music so much 😍
i love you
A beautiful 😻 song & video, love ❤️ it 👌🏼
This makes me happy to be alive
escutar em primeira mao em sp brazil, foi o melhor presente!
como assim? me conte mais sobre.. sou do rs
@@popuchinha conto sim claro. Houve uma pré audição do álbum no cine Cortana aqui no centro de sp. Pertinho da minha casa. Tudo escuro. Apagado. E só as músicas do álbum. Sem celular. Sem nada. Foi um evento que ocorreu em outros 4 locais do mundo. Eu chorei tanto que nem acreditei.
@@oidelixia23 uau que legal.. deve ter sido incrivel. Que bom que voce teve essa oportunidade.. eu ouvi falar do evento mas nao sabia que haveria no brasil.. fico muito feliz que teve aqui tambem
@@popuchinha eu fiz um vídeo narrando um pouco dessa experiência maravilhosa. Não consegui detalhar nem filmar o momento exato, mas o antes e o depois sim. Tive que me escrever por um link. Aguardar a confirmação do email. Emocionante. Obrigado por interagir sobre isso. Se puder faça essa experiência. Apague todas as luzes e escute o álbum no escuro. Ao menos pela primeira vez. Um abraço 🤗
1:50 😢
We ❤ you anohni!
Wonderful. I can't wait for the album. I ordered a yellow vinyl copy with pin badge from Rough trade.
So so so so High Level, everything is SO PERFECTION ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Triple Goddess come alive! Maiden, Mother, Crone we remain to settle the bones and join together as one to begin the dance again.
