im sat. the youtube employees are telling me to leave because the "song isn’t even out yet" and "i need to focus on school work" but i can't. i'm too sat
omg js realized that the reason why there was a set and a crowd watching them bc it symbolizes how she’s putting on a “show” in her relationship😭😭😭😭😭 cinematic masterpiece
I absolutely love the meaning behind this song. The singer is experiencing a contrast between two partners: on one hand, there’s the current partner who offers her physical satisfaction and stability, but who can’t provide her with a deeper emotional connection. On the other hand, there’s another partner or an idealized figure who could offer her that depth and emotional intensity that she desires. She wants to feel guilty for the fact that, even though she’s in a relationship that gives her physical gratification, she feels the need for something deeper. However, she can’t feel that guilt, which makes her feel even more confused and trapped. She tries to hide this inner conflict from her current partner, hoping that he doesn’t notice her emotional turmoil, especially during intimate moments. So, the text beautifully represents a struggle between the desire for stability and the need for a deeper emotional connection, as well as the difficulty of reconciling these two needs with the reality she’s living in.
What an incredible song. I think it describes how Lizzy feels that she's had to "perform" an act in her own relationship, hoping that her partner doesn't see through her, even though the audience (people around her), noticed something was off. This song is a mature version of "all my ghosts", whilst being even more brutally honest and raw. The song starts as a voice memo, which likely lived in secret on her phone for some time, as presumably she wrote this during the relationship. And more brilliantly, the video uses Lizzy's struggle with performing Five Seconds Flat live as a metaphor for how confusing and difficult the "acting" within her own relationship has been. The audience only ever stands up and applauds at the end of the performance, when she flies through the air suspended from the ceiling with her ex. This symbolises her performing Ceilings at the end of her set on tour. She has repeatedly described the horrible feeling of people only coming for this song, and leaving her show right after she's played Ceilings.
Lizzy over the past two years has become one of my favorite artists. The way she writes and you feel like your thoughts were somehow taken and written down for you when you had no way of expressing them. it really does something to you. She’s one artist I just really connect with and really love. Happy to see her really become comfortable with her music and it really emphasizes who she is. Love love love this mv too, started to tear up.
this song paired with staying gives the story of the album so much more context its hauntingly beautiful :( she deserves the world, can't wait for the deluxe to release
I've been listening to Lizzy for years and I'm just so proud of her. I know she didn’t think FSF was good... but it was all I was listening to during October- Feburary. All of her albums deserve any type of award. Now, everyone say thank you to Lizzy. (I'm scared for this song)
@@scarlett4417 on her story a couple days ago. she said she listened with more grace for the person she was when she wrote it and without her bias it's actually good
I don’t think I have ever been so excited for a deluxe album. Also Older (And Wiser) is so creative! As soon as Lizzy played spring into summer at the Detroit show I was sold on this being the greatest deluxe of all time. Lizzy, we are SO ready. This album is so uniquely you and we love you. ❤
I kinda love that she isn’t “sabrina” or “taylor” level because then I feel like her talent would be taken for granted. I feel like right now she has a very genuine and authentic fan base 💞
I am seriously breath taken by the fact you can release a song. That quite literally every lyric resonates with my internal dialogue and my soul yearns for someone who just isn’t here only in a fruitless fantasy
excitedly listening to this song for the first time this morning to break my obsessive loops of kansas anymore and five seconds flat, then getting a youtube notification for this video... i can definitely say lizzy x tucker is hands down my favorite duo of the year.
ok, ok lol I got over the initial unexpected shock from the first listen and now all I feel is gratitude for what an honest and vivid storyteller you are !!
Lizzy has been my #1 artist ever since early 2022. I discovered her right before FSF came out. I have been OBSESSED ever since. I know all her songs and I love every one she writes. I finally got to see her live, but am hoping to see her again at her own headline show. this song, this video, this message - oh my goodness. she just delivers EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. this cinematography reminded me a lot of FSF. I am so excited for Older (and Wiser). Dear Lizzy, I love you. Thank you for the gift of your talent for music. ❤️ And I’ll always be here!!!
This song really messes with your emotions, right? It's like a rollercoaster of feelings, and Lizzy just nails it every time! 🎢💖 And that acting? Wow, it kinda elevates the whole vibe! Who else thinks her voice feels like a warm hug? 🥰
fricking Lizzy McSchmalpine has done it again. It‘s honestly tearing me apart to wait this long, even longer for the deluxe but I srsly need „Soccer Practice“ on loop rn
The older album continues to save me and help me feel understood at this period in my life. Thank you Lizzy for beautiful music, you deserve so much recognition
Every song you write hits so hard and always somehow resonates with something in my life. You are my favorite artist, and I will be listening to this for a while again.
Lizzy McAlpine has proved time and time again her genius, not only in the art of crafting songs, but also visually through truly great videos in which her talents as an actress & dancer are further mind-blowing proofs of how generous her palette is ❤🙏❤🙏❤🙏❤
Oh!!!🙂🙂🙂🙂 2:04 I do believe I projectile vomited over that dancing. Will be watching that over the next 7-10 business days. This means more than you could ever know, thank you Liz💗
Girl I’m so proud of you and can’t wait to see you prosper and accomplish all your hopes and dreams… Please come back to NY soon want to see you live !! 🫶🏽
Oh this is layereddddd, as usual. Music videos like this are my one of favorite things. Taking an already emotionally layered song and just going full throttle with it in the video portion too. The callbacks to fsf, and some of your concert experiences with Ceilings was incredible. The conflict and differences between the two guys and you being in the middle is soooo good, omg. This is 100% one of those things where the more you watch it the more you start to see. Incredible, Incredible job to absolutely everyone!
this song is so nice and the shots of this video complement your music in a perfect way! Older is on heavy rotation since the release and i can not get enough from this production! Great work, thank you for your music!
NONE of us were expecting tucker omgggg
ikr!
To be fair, she did feature in one of his songs.
And we all thought he was in the live chat just for moral support ahaha
OMG the ACTING in this???!?!?! so fucking good, and this SONG?!?!? so fucking good! I already want to watch it over again and again
i literally couldn’t stop replaying the dance sense it's so good i just need to know if this hard launch or not lol
im sat. the youtube employees are telling me to leave because the "song isn’t even out yet" and "i need to focus on school work" but i can't. i'm too sat
So real bestie
they just don’t get lizzy like we do
"but im just too seated" lmao there i corrected the most special part for you lol
man i love ayo
Sat down bruhh
omg js realized that the reason why there was a set and a crowd watching them bc it symbolizes how she’s putting on a “show” in her relationship😭😭😭😭😭 cinematic masterpiece
THIS!!!!! masterpiece to the fullest
OHHHHHHHHHHH
Lizzy is so skilled at starting songs with the most random lyrics. Even when I'm expecting it I'm not expecting it.
omg so true😭🩷

Damn.
Did you put this on Genius Lyrics...?
@@josiahgraham1765 no i didn’t, you want to? i actually don’t know how to do that haha i was just expressing my thoughts
WOAHHH that's deep
@@tunezbylucz Oh, sorry! That's weird. There's something on Genius Lyrics that copied word for word what you said in the second paragraph.
This feels like a soft punch and a warm hug at the same time.
Always with her music.

I’m right there with you. So proud of her x
as an australian (who gets everything “early”) good luck to everyone. this song is life ruining 😁
literally i listened to it this morning and have not stopped playing it since
this song paired with staying gives the story of the album so much more context its hauntingly beautiful :( she deserves the world, can't wait for the deluxe to release
lizzy is the lyricist of our generation
Odd how you can make a man cry missing a relationship he hasn’t yet lived.
Amazing work Lizzie

SAME HERE. And oh man, five seconds flat was INCREDIBLE. I'm still in shock she didn't like it as much as we did
i'm glad she relistened and posted that she does actually like it lol
@@eller594 where did she say that?
@@scarlett4417 on her story a couple days ago. she said she listened with more grace for the person she was when she wrote it and without her bias it's actually good
she posted a story on Instagram this week saying that she listened to the album again and stands by it and thinks it's really good
Unreal musicianship and songwriting on the older album .. my favourite album of the year as a drummer and it isn’t particularly drummy!
This was beautiful and Tucker was amazing too
I don’t think I have ever been so excited for a deluxe album. Also Older (And Wiser) is so creative! As soon as Lizzy played spring into summer at the Detroit show I was sold on this being the greatest deluxe of all time. Lizzy, we are SO ready. This album is so uniquely you and we love you. ❤
I love the mix of the “performer’s nightmare” and relationship symbolism!!! also Lizzy & Tucker’s chemistry is so palpable. love love it
Glizzy McAlpine is the music industry
i genuinely cannot wait for older deluxe. this song is AMAZING. and TUCKER IS IN IT????!!!!! LIZZY.
Yes TUCKEEEEEER AND THE BACKING VOCAAALS
we all say “thank you lizzy!” in unison
It was heart wrenching when the guy pulled away from the kiss. Who would deny Lizzy a kiss?
I gasped when I saw tucker
SHES so goddamn underrated
I kinda love that she isn’t “sabrina” or “taylor” level because then I feel like her talent would be taken for granted. I feel like right now she has a very genuine and authentic fan base 💞
@@evehealey6172 omg yes YOURE so right I’ve always loved her music and the fact that she writes the majority of her songs alone that’s so pure 💐
there will be life before pushing it down and after.
oh my ACTUAL god.
I wasn’t stable enough for ANY of this. an actual masterpiece. obsessed with tucker and lizzy in a whole new way now
I am seriously breath taken by the fact you can release a song. That quite literally every lyric resonates with my internal dialogue and my soul yearns for someone who just isn’t here only in a fruitless fantasy
brb about to write a dissertation on this song. SO GOOD!!!!!!!!!
excitedly listening to this song for the first time this morning to break my obsessive loops of kansas anymore and five seconds flat, then getting a youtube notification for this video... i can definitely say lizzy x tucker is hands down my favorite duo of the year.
this is CINEMA
ok, ok lol I got over the initial unexpected shock from the first listen and now all I feel is gratitude for what an honest and vivid storyteller you are !!
1:24 THIS PART AND WHEN HE STANDS UP AND YOU START DANCING. WOW.
Lizzy has been my #1 artist ever since early 2022. I discovered her right before FSF came out. I have been OBSESSED ever since. I know all her songs and I love every one she writes. I finally got to see her live, but am hoping to see her again at her own headline show.

Dear Lizzy, I love you. Thank you for the gift of your talent for music. ❤️ And I’ll always be here!!!
Your music is one of my few friends. Always there when I need it. Thank you and love you, Lizzy. It is an honor to share the same name with you:)
Your acting is insane. I was totally absorbed in this beautiful experience. Thank you so much!
soooo exited to play this song over and over
This song really messes with your emotions, right? It's like a rollercoaster of feelings, and Lizzy just nails it every time! 🎢💖 And that acting? Wow, it kinda elevates the whole vibe! Who else thinks her voice feels like a warm hug? 🥰
idk why but lizzy brings out every strong and long forgotten emotions out of me, IT'S INSANE
I‘m saurrr ready to scream this at the older concert in my city if u decide to play this ^^
fricking Lizzy McSchmalpine has done it again. It‘s honestly tearing me apart to wait this long, even longer for the deluxe but I srsly need „Soccer Practice“ on loop rn
Lizzy Boston misses you
Lately..Lizzy's song is too personal for me. 😭💔
The older album continues to save me and help me feel understood at this period in my life. Thank you Lizzy for beautiful music, you deserve so much recognition
Another perfect song, but almost crying ...
Every song you write hits so hard and always somehow resonates with something in my life. You are my favorite artist, and I will be listening to this for a while again.
"thank you Lizzy" we all say in unison
When your favorite artists release music that’s in sync with you. Thank you 🙏🏻😭💙
Also, this is so cinematic, and I love it ❤
THIS MV WAS INCREDIBLE

No way I’m SICK. This is too beautiful and with Tucker, wow.
i've been listening to your music for years, you saved me. thank you

The Style of this Song sits exactly in the middle of Madison Cunningham and Lizzy McAlpine!! Love it!
2:09 "I want to know peace again..." she looks so happy thinking about peace 🥺
I’M SO ANXIETY!
OMG, OMG, OMG. Lizzy you can't do that to me!!! That's so pretty, I don't know How to process It.

Another masterpiece. Love you, Lizzy.

I’m obsessed with this
If I was a musician I too would write a fly system into my music video. She’s so real and theater kid for that.
Voice sounds clear and bright… bari acoustic sounds cool
I was not prepared for how good this song is, holy shit

this song is so nice and the shots of this video complement your music in a perfect way! Older is on heavy rotation since the release and i can not get enough from this production! Great work, thank you for your music!
