He's not used to using more air for the lower notes yet probably b.c that's his normal speaking range. When he's making that sliding transition between low and high or consciously singing (not purposely enunciating) he unconsciously uses more air so those come out smoother and stronger it seems
they've gone from that one band people thought was a twenty one pilots copycat to a low key refreshing band with a whole other refined style and they're gonna keep getting better and bigger and i'm so excited
@@ninakay9916 I know you didnt ask me but im gonna answer this anyway: Golden, Epitaph, Baseball. As much as I'd like Bambi, we have so many great live versions of that already.
It would be great but this comment is on almost every tiny desk video. This way Vulfpeck is getting more exposure than if they actually did perform there lol.
Karla Salazar honestly would it even be a Half•Alive performance without the choreography? I really wasn’t sure whether I’d see it here on the tiny desk stage but I’m glad you commented about it.
Yeah that song is definitely producer heavy, but was still expecting it to be a lot more lively! Maybe even a bit faster rhythm? But I almost feel like he was saving the energy for ice cold, and I wasn't too disappointed haha
Maybe that's the reason the 'choreography' is someone solving a rubiks cube and reading a newspaper. A subtle nod that the band is pretty bored of performing the song and feels like they 'have to' play it at this point.
Fantastic don’t really think that’s the case?? i think the tiny desk space is a little too limited for them to go all the way out with that song; people who’ve seen them in concert say it’s much better in other venues
I don’t know what it is about Runaway but it strikes such a deep emotional chord in me for some reason yet still creates such a calming effect. Sometimes I have a hard time accepting my illnesses and disabilities and what a different path my life took because of them, but something about these lyrics gives me this content hope and reassurance. “I hold my life out in front of me Dreams of who I want to be I’m seeing every empty page But I find that everything I am Is everything I should be”
I just discovered this guys like yesterday, and feels the same way. This music in specific, make me feel like make peace with myself and accept that i am enough, 'cause i'm just doing the best i could. Thanks for you comment
I seriously wish people would realized how easy it is to learn to solve the Rubik’s cube. There are so many kids who learn how to do it now. It’s very popular right now.
My second cousin got one a couple years ago and we sat down and I read the instructions to him and he had it figured out in minutes. Once he understood the underlying method, he had it. Pretty impressive to watch. He was 8 or so.
This performance doesn't do justice to their full live act. I think they felt a little constrained by the space, and it showed in their performance. They sounded much better both times I've seen them in an actual venue.
I feel like the second song specifically was pretty lacking without it's full arrangement, the chorus still carries things along enough though with the sweeping guitar chords. Also it seems like the lead singer wasn't very confident in the beginning of the song which gave it even more of a rough start, but by the end that was much better. I love the band though, I'm sure they're great live. I hope they make a lot more great music in the future. Though from this album and some statements I've heard from the band, I'm kinda worried they might veer into something that's simply too religious for my tastes.
@@andothershortstories I agree runaway and ice cold were actually better than the regular versions, but still feel falls super flat with the constrained space imo
Haven't seen hand dancing that good since Napoleon Dynamite... for real though, this was all dope. Half alive is one of the best bands of right now, super stoked for all their success and crazy growth in such a (seemingly) short period!
I got the opportunity to see these guys at a private performance at a radio station and they were literally arms length away from me. i was so shocked at how good they were live. I’m so happy and proud of these guys
Besides the amazing engineering, what always amazes me about these is how the musicians are able to control their volume and still give an energetic performance. Awesome
Just saw it live in Melbourne over the weekend, and it totally ripped. Considering how limited they were here in terms of instrumentation this is still pretty solid.

Not only were the songs absolutely killer, but everyone in the chairs added to the performance so much!! The vibe in the room that day must’ve been to die for
Playing live, they have a distinguishing unique sound, which cannot be reproduced or replicated in a studio atmosphere. The instruments are more fluid, standing out amongst the five senses. Although their voices are puzzling to hear, the confusion is hidden by the raw, uninterrupted, confidence they possess. Hands down great performance!!!
RUNAWAY lyrics: 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 Staring into my reflection Redirecting my perfection somewhere else When there isn't any progress Lean on truth inside the promise, it is well 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 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 actually really appreciate how they performed Still Feel. If the premise is for their concert to be a unique performance, then they succeeded in restructuring the song to become more metaphorical in its essence. At first the instrumental is chaotic and dysfunctional but becomes progressively more lively and melodic towards the end. Just like a lot of their music, it takes a few listens for the message to hit home.
@OneSilentGiant I just started listening to them in a bad point of my life and they just stuck and have a special attachment to the songs but thanks for the advice I guess
There’s so many songs that make me cry from the pure artistic creativity of the piece itself, many of them are not from this decade. Half Alive is one of the few exceptions though. I’ve balled my eyes out to even some of their happy songs. I just appreciate the mounds of effort put into everything they create and the realness behind it. It definitely resonates through the art

i was walking around with ice cold stuck in my head all day and i was just hoping they’d play it when i clicked on this video :’) it’s starting to be one of my favorites on the album, such a lovely progression and message
But the chorus notes… had me SHOOKETH. That ✨vibrato✨ on the open vowel, and the falsetto… gave me CHILLS. As a proffessional singer i LOVE LOVE LOVE the way he articulates his voice. Also he’s got a really funny personality lol
I love half•alive but i just haven't seen enough from them live. I feel like the singer is yet kinda scared of his voice and what he can reach or not certain notes with his head voice, is something that happens to every singer actually but he needs to get better from that actually, he hits such well and high notes that is really weird to see him getting nervous about notes he can sing well. Anyways, i know he will improve!! And he is improving, i hope i can listen to some better videos of them live!! ❤

the fact that they've got dancing even for tiny desk
i love this comment
I know it’s awesome!!! Love it
*GREEN SQUIGGLE
Sentence fragment
I find it funnier how they asked for the exact dimensions of the floor space to choreograph it
Awesome!!
kinda crazy that this dudes voice is way stronger when he hits those higher notes
Not really. High notes need more air and vocal strength than low notes.
He's not used to using more air for the lower notes yet probably b.c that's his normal speaking range. When he's making that sliding transition between low and high or consciously singing (not purposely enunciating) he unconsciously uses more air so those come out smoother and stronger it seems
the falsetto's actually break this band for me he has a really good voice but not in falsetto
also its not that his voice is stronger but he generally only trills when in falsetto
@@fridgebutt2362 Excuse me??
they've gone from that one band people thought was a twenty one pilots copycat to a low key refreshing band with a whole other refined style and they're gonna keep getting better and bigger and i'm so excited
Kinda saw the similarity but never thought they ripped off any of the music.
If it wasn't for those idiots I would've never discovered them so I'm still kinda grateful
warble and we’re along for the journey
👏👏👏
And their style and honestly everything about them is so great and unique, I can't believe those times even happened tbh.
*okok but how can one man's vocals sound so raw and smoOoOothhh*
Dude, I'm so glad I'm not the only one that feels this.
ok ok?
Look at some of tyler Joseph's stuff. Solo and in twenty one pilots👌

Aidan Carberry is a badass!
He only solved two sides but thats still a lot!!

Hell yeah 😎

haha look up mother falcon's tiny desk concert they make you think the desk is the tardis
Flo brought a harp, other bands bring way more though
You must not have seen Mother Falcon's performance
Oct 2024...still watching! What a band! Thank you from the Uk x
loved that rubik solo man
Yes
Aidan
Seeing Josh do the movement with the dancers for "I wanna see you wake up" is so adorable
Lily likes UA-cam cutest thing I’ve ever seen

watch Vulf's Lost My Treble Long Ago video... they parodied tiny desk since they get so much comments about them on it lol
YES YES YES DEAR GOD YES HOW DO WE MAKE THIS HAPPEN?!?!
i like how one of the guys is doing a rubix cube during still feel
I was expecting to see some choreography. Wasn't disappointed.
Karla Salazar honestly would it even be a Half•Alive performance without the choreography? I really wasn’t sure whether I’d see it here on the tiny desk stage but I’m glad you commented about it.
the two guys in the chair
Guy sounds like Brian David Gilbert when he talks
Aye BDG
honestly yeah
Is that just three first names?
Arnoldo Gonzalez nah that’s Meme-Jesus
kinda has his old hairstyle too
This season on Silicon Valley is weird, but Richard Hendricks has some pipes.
When I saw the video for Still Feel for the first time I truly thought it was the actor who played Richard
He's like half Thomas Middleditch and half Timothy Chalamet
This season on This is Us is weird, but Milo Ventimiglia has some pipes.
Josh's appearance and voice is somehow terrifyingly similar to Thomas'
@@elihansen328YES! I was thinking the same thing, a combination of both but with a boost in confidence and sick dance moves.
Ice cold is such an awesome song. I just wish they had half the energy performing 'Still Feel'.
Yeah that song is definitely producer heavy, but was still expecting it to be a lot more lively! Maybe even a bit faster rhythm? But I almost feel like he was saving the energy for ice cold, and I wasn't too disappointed haha

@@rudynd agreed. They even put together a specific dance for ice cold for that limited space. I think that was awesome.
Same but that's the song they might have performed the most as their "most popular" song so they're probably tired of performing it 🤷♀️
I don’t know what it is about Runaway but it strikes such a deep emotional chord in me for some reason yet still creates such a calming effect. Sometimes I have a hard time accepting my illnesses and disabilities and what a different path my life took because of them, but something about these lyrics gives me this content hope and reassurance.

On the contrary, I thought they sounded sick here.
@@andothershortstories I agree runaway and ice cold were actually better than the regular versions, but still feel falls super flat with the constrained space imo
The fact that they are dropping another album this year.
I had to come back and relive these magical moments to prepare.

I’m glad I wasn’t the only one thinking of Napoleon dynamite during ice cold. Really awkward but somehow refreshing music.
I got the opportunity to see these guys at a private performance at a radio station and they were literally arms length away from me. i was so shocked at how good they were live. I’m so happy and proud of these guys
I love how they always incorporate dance in their sets
Besides the amazing engineering, what always amazes me about these is how the musicians are able to control their volume and still give an energetic performance. Awesome
how is his voice so basic and simple but also so incredibly unique and satisfying to listen to, simultaneously. especially those higher notes, my god
I admire how worn the fret board was on that orange guitar, he must have practiced like crazy, good job guys
I showed this to my dad and that was the first thing he noticed.
lucas Yep, it’s a Nash Guitars if you look at the headstock logo. AKA a relic :P
It's one of life's mysteries how someone can dislike a Tiny Desk concert. This is phenomenal.
I really like Still Feel but I feel like I haven't seen them perform it live well. Runaway was great though.
When they play it live at shows it really holds up. I think the limited arrangement of tiny desk made doesn't help.
Jimmy Kimmel's performance is gold
Just saw it live in Melbourne over the weekend, and it totally ripped. Considering how limited they were here in terms of instrumentation this is still pretty solid.
They played it perfectly at outside lands 👌👌
Kelllach Hælan They did really well at the troubadour
RUNAWAY - 0:00
still feel - 3:07
ice cold - 7:39
Leaving this here for future reference, don't mind me.
This upsurge in feel good music, or rather my inclination towards it, is soothing my soul in ways I can't describe. Love love love love.
HERE for the live strings too. How fun. Also the eventual choreography
Perfect timing, I’ve been on a half•alive kick lately. 🙌🏻
This version of RUNAWAY is SO GOOD
get peach pit pls @ bob boilen
Yess, get the boys! Such a great band
Tommy's Party has been on repeat for the past month for me, I just keep coming back to their music
They already have
the dads
Daniel James i think you’re thinking of passion pit :)
Literally two weeks after i discovered them they have a Tiny Desk Concert?
This is amazing.
Always quote the great lord Shaxx.
This dude really deserves this performance. Whole band is awesome. He’s great. Glad I caught this one in time.
Yes was waiting for this NPR and half alive the prefect combo it's Pure Gold!
Ha, puns :)
Me when I first saw half alive videos: why is everyone crushing on Josh
me now: oH
6:44 The drummers' smile!! Great to see artists love what they do.
ice cold. lyrics:
You're feeling that ice cold
Forgetting the good things
Caught up in the problems
Please stop complaining
Tell me something beautiful
Lovelier than usual
Hope is the closest
Haven't you noticed
This beauty in focus
Is dwelling in the depths of you
A desperate longing to break through
When you're feeling that ice cold
Forgetting the good things
Caught up in the problems
Please stop complaining
Tell me something beautiful
Lovelier than usual
Holding that pain is holding you back
Keeping that rage is keeping you sad
Caught in the wake of memories past
Pulling you down 'til you drown in the bad
I wanna see you wake up
Shake free of all these hang-ups
Your heart is filling with glory
Shaping itself when you
Tell me something beautiful
Lovelier than usual
Relentless and immovable
Tell me something beautiful
Hope is the closest
Haven't you noticed
This beauty in focus
Is dwelling in the depths of you
A desperate longing to break through
Elevate, elevate, elevate (elevate)
Celebrate, celebrate, celebrate (celebrate)
Take a moment and appreciate
All the best things resting on the way
I wanna see you wake up
Shake free of all these hang ups
Your heart is filling with glory
Lifting you mind and lifting your worries
You're feeling that ice cold
Forgetting the good things
Caught up in your problems
Please stop complaining
Tell me something beautiful
Lovelier than usual
Tell me something
Tell me something beautiful
Is anyone else quietly in love with the green shirt dancer?...
Me. That's exactly what I wanted to comment. I have like a tiny secret crush on him ❤
wow, same..
his cheeks hits different
I didn't admit to myself then i saw your comment...
white shirt dancer is also pretty cute ngl 😳
Leur plaisir de jouer est un tel souffle de fraîcheur. Merci
So glad these guys have been getting the recognition they deserve. Also, love that they still managed to incorporate dance into TD.
Revisiting this again since I’m seeing them for the third time tomorrow.
This feels like the shortest Tiny Desk Ever. I just want more.
the dance for ice cold is genuinely magical... so lovely... very lovable
Discovered y’all at Lollapalooza and Outside Lands this year and you were fantastic. So glad to see you on Tiny Desk too! Well deserved
Whole set still slaps, 4 years later.
Everytime they do the "I wanna see you wake up" choreo, I do it along with them
Not only were the songs absolutely killer, but everyone in the chairs added to the performance so much!! The vibe in the room that day must’ve been to die for
This music is so hopeful I just can't even. Great job! Awesome soundwork too. It's perfect for tiny desk.
Each song gets stronger as is progresses..so satisfying! Also: THE DANCE MOVES
Ice cold was absolutely mesmerizing, I'm in love with it
This is such a good band they just hit something that no one else can hit it’s perfection
Love this band. Love how he ain’t a perfect singer but he sounds better live than most big names.
I can't get enough of these live performances. I hope they release a version of their album like this! It brightened up my day during finals.
Playing live, they have a distinguishing unique sound, which cannot be reproduced or replicated in a studio atmosphere. The instruments are more fluid, standing out amongst the five senses. Although their voices are puzzling to hear, the confusion is hidden by the raw, uninterrupted, confidence they possess. Hands down great performance!!!
this live version of RUNAWAY is one of my favorite tiny desk vocal performances I just cant stop coming back to!
RUNAWAY lyrics:
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
Staring into my reflection
Redirecting my perfection somewhere else
When there isn't any progress
Lean on truth inside the promise, it is well
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
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
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
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
Can we get Sigrid on tiny desk?
Hard pass on that!
yes please
yess pleaseeee!
Um yes
Yessss
Just found out about this band and I now know what appreciation is
The 2 guys dancing is incredible. Thanks tiny desk
Lovin the “chair dancers!”
the music is incomplete without the cube and the book flipping. Thank you so much for making sure they were there and shot.
Just listened to 'Now, Not Yet' several times in a row today, super stoked to see this up already! You guys rock!
I don’t think I’ve ever been as consistently proud of a band as I am of these guys
Nice voice control, always in tune.
I've listened to a ton of NPR tiny desks, Josh took my attention with Still Alive, and the cuts of Runaway and ice cold. take my breath away.
Glad that Half Alive keeps getting this great coverage. An exciting and innovative group.
I actually really appreciate how they performed Still Feel. If the premise is for their concert to be a unique performance, then they succeeded in restructuring the song to become more metaphorical in its essence. At first the instrumental is chaotic and dysfunctional but becomes progressively more lively and melodic towards the end. Just like a lot of their music, it takes a few listens for the message to hit home.
The definition of lovely holy heck
Every time i turn to NPR..i hear talent...new stuff...old what ever good stuff..
Definitely my all time favorite band, I remember the video for aawake at night coming out and now they are here. Congratulations
@OneSilentGiant I just started listening to them in a bad point of my life and they just stuck and have a special attachment to the songs but thanks for the advice I guess
There’s so many songs that make me cry from the pure artistic creativity of the piece itself, many of them are not from this decade. Half Alive is one of the few exceptions though. I’ve balled my eyes out to even some of their happy songs. I just appreciate the mounds of effort put into everything they create and the realness behind it. It definitely resonates through the art
As a half alive fan and violinist waiting for this video, I'm so happy to see strings used in this performance!! Amazing as always! :)
I’m cleaning my house and dancing. I love this group!
The drummer looking at the cello and the violin players and smiling was so cute
Amazing high notes. Glad they're finally getting recognition. Tiny desk is the best in the biz.
still feel. lyrics:
When I'm furthest from myself (Far away)
Feeling closer to the stars (Outer space)
I've been invaded by the dark (Can't escape)
Trying to recognize myself when I feel I've been replaced
When I'm furthest from myself (Far away)
Feeling closer to the stars (Outer space)
I've been invaded by the dark (Can't escape)
Trying to recognize myself when I feel I've been replaced
I can feel a kick down in my soul
And it's pulling me back to earth to let me know
I am not a slave, can't be contained
So pick me from the dark and pull me from the grave
'Cause
I still feel alive
When it is hopeless, I start to notice
And I still feel alive
Falling forward, back into orbit
So, when I lose my gravity in this sleepy womb
Drifting as I dream, I'll wake up soon
To realize the hand of life is reaching out
To rid me of my pride, I call allegiance to myself
But I can feel a kick down in my soul
And it's pulling me back to earth to let me know
I am not a slave, can't be contained
So pick me from the dark and pull me from the grave
'Cause
I still feel alive
When it is hopeless, I start to notice
And I still feel alive
Falling forward, back into orbit (Oh)
And I still feel alive
It is hopeless, I start to notice (Oh)
And I still feel alive
Falling forward, back into orbit
I can feel a kick down in my soul
And it's pulling me back to earth to let me know
And this heart that beats inside of me will show
It will show
Floating in outer space, have I misplaced a part of my soul?
Lost in the in-between, or so it seems, I'm out of control
Floating in outer space, have I misplaced a part of my soul?
Lost in the in-between, but it can't keep me asleep for long, 'cause
I still feel alive
When it is hopeless, I start to notice
And I still feel alive
Falling forward, back into orbit
And I still feel alive
It is hopeless, I start to notice
And I still feel alive
Falling forward, back into orbit
I still feel alive (I can feel it)
When it is hopeless (It ain't hopeless)
I start to notice (Start to notice)
I still feel alive (I can feel it)
Falling forward (Falling forward)
I still feel alive
I still feel alive
Never fell in love with a band so fast before
This was lovely, he has such a nice voice and I loved the new song
i was walking around with ice cold stuck in my head all day and i was just hoping they’d play it when i clicked on this video :’) it’s starting to be one of my favorites on the album, such a lovely progression and message
Josh absolutely shaking the soul out of that shaker gives me life 😨
“And hearts” so precious
still feel really stood out to me. They found a way to change it while still keeping the energy, and I certainly don’t think of it as “lazy”
Sound good live!
I was having a bad day until I saw this was the new video today. Thank you guys. Music truly is therapy. ☺
I love these boys
7:35 is better than the kimbra version. Wish they would release this version as a single too.
You're caught up in the problems. Please stop complaining
I wouldn't say "better", but I do prefer it :)
it's great to see ppl that I discover and actually like start to frequent these Tiny Desk Concerts more often
3:48 voice crack, he is an incredible singer I really love their music, also his voice cracks are majestic
I think it's so amazing how great and yet totally unique each of these songs is when compared to the album versions, mad respect to all of them
One of the cleanest falsettos I’ve ever heard
But the chorus notes… had me SHOOKETH. That ✨vibrato✨ on the open vowel, and the falsetto… gave me CHILLS. As a proffessional singer i LOVE LOVE LOVE the way he articulates his voice. Also he’s got a really funny personality lol
I love half•alive but i just haven't seen enough from them live.
I feel like the singer is yet kinda scared of his voice and what he can reach or not certain notes with his head voice, is something that happens to every singer actually but he needs to get better from that actually, he hits such well and high notes that is really weird to see him getting nervous about notes he can sing well.
Anyways, i know he will improve!! And he is improving, i hope i can listen to some better videos of them live!! ❤
When a Cello and violin is involved you know it's music worth listening to 🙏❤️ love it!!
Perfect. Runaway was so well done. Hey, is Oliver Tree coming on this? I think that'd be a wonderful performance.
true!!
Ugh yes please
YES
Hard agree
I love this band so much
