This will probs be lost into the abyss of the comments but my bird loves this song so much that she sings her part and loves to hear it play. She fluffs up and even squeaks to the beat and it makes me so happy. Awesome song
Never seen this, never heard of them, but damned if that weirdness doesn’t fucking groove, and say What?? On that choreography!!? I can’t imagine the hours to put that together!
This is so fucking legit, the guy right-most on the couch looks 100% like my CS teacher. Edit: Thanks for the likes! It is definitely the most I have ever had in a UA-cam comment.
asro Dick Grayson for the win, i know he later becomes nightwing but him and jason are the best robins that actually fit the role. no hate towards tim though. so actually i think jason is jason is probably the best robin for the ROLE, maybe not the actual best robin. But his story is by far the best role out of all robins, also he is cocky and quite funny so yes i could see him doing this with batman and the commissioner or alfred
I love the symbolism of the clothes here. When the main singer is dissociating, the dancers are dressed like him and mimic his dancing. During the times when he's feeling like himself, they are all dressed uniquely and their movements are different (but still similar enough to keep a steady rhythm with one another).
I also feel the one at 2:01 when they all form a circle with their arms is very symbolic. Notice the main singer's face is in the "center" of their circle and when his mouth opens, the other members move their hands simotaniously. In my opinion this is their ways of saying "He speaks for us" As they are quite literally forming a large "mouth" with their arms. As he sings (opens his mouth) They essentially give their "blessing" or "co-signature" by moving their hands in rhythm with his mouth. That one may be pretty obvious to most
Everyone is talking about the choreography of these people when in reality like everything in this video is amazing, the camera work, the lighting, the music, the dancing the cuts and out takes, it's all so well made it's amazing. Thank you for such an amazing production!
As a fellow peer of Joshua Taylor, (knowing him for three years now), and growing up hearing this man sing his heart out at my local church, I will keep it short and simple... GOOD SHIT MY MAN.
Hi there! Sorry it took me so long to respond to this. To answer your question.. absolutely yes. Whenever I run into him, we always greet each other with a hug and a smile. Such a caring and straight-up kind of dude. I'll also see his cousin and uncle sometimes at an open mic night. Super talented family.

Still holds up... A personal fave. Feels like three regular guys said "Hey, let's make a music video, and for fun, let's dance in it." They pulled it off. Love it.
Golden Hot Dog i saw them in 2015, that’s when DOAB first came out. i reeeally dislike their new music tho aka pray for the wicked. high hopes and say amen excluded.
Bro, idgaf what anyone says. This is beautiful is so many ways... The choreography to me suggests how they are intertwined into one another's fate, helping each other and lifting one another up over and over; always holding one another, preventing the others from falling. If one slips, they all catch their brother. If one fails they all pull him up out of that failure and because they always held onto one another and mirrored one another they overcame it all and everything ends with them at their best, dapper, happy and energetic. This is powerful and beautiful to me.
guys it's been months since I first found this song and not a single day has passed where I don't think about how SICK the chord progression before the chorus at 0:52 and 1:45 is to make the sickest drop of all times. the way the instrumental accompanies the voice has been living in my head beyond rent free
Hey I know it's been a month since you posted this but in case you didn't notice, you said this song is living in your hand. Not sure why it's in your hand, but good for you man
@@superoriginalname2851 oh jeez, I corrected that, idk how that came out as "hand" 💀💀💀 half alive gripping my mind so much that I get my words garbled up
I just want to say that I really, really, really, really, really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really like this song
To everyone adding comments: I had the good fortune to get to know Josh Taylor (the lead singer) from days with his other band The Moderates (which was great in its own right). This guy is a supremely gifted songwriter, great vocalist and musician, and uber talented film maker. While all of you are just discovering this band, know that it’s truly the byproduct of undeniable talent meeting great timing and opportunity. Keep watching, you are seeing the next great band emerge.
I really like the choreography, my favorite visual might be at 2:00. The barrier between the eye and the surrounding begins to open and the "I" within is terrified by it. Just love the message of the song and the song itself.
There's so many things to be amazed by, but one thing that stands out is that they're actually dancing and they have choreography and all that. Like seriously, how many music videos do you see anymore where they're actually dancing and like it looks this good? Usually when there's dancing in a music video it's really simple and/or really focused on butts. Not that that's inherently bad, to each their own, but I really love this.
If you like them, go check out Electric Guest. It's just like this. ua-cam.com/video/FVZZnHDLbLE/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/eWc9hvNV3ko/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/MMNZSMt5Vwk/v-deo.html
For me it’s the part right after, when he says “caught in the in between or so it seems I’m out of control” like holy shit that part slaps I do a little dance there no matter what
I read kick ass two separate things, kick being an adjective. And thought you were into some funky new vocabulary. Gravity hit me within a few seconds and I'm back in my place.
Holy Shit the UA-cam algorithm actually did something great! I've never heard of these guys nor do I follow much of this music scene but I freaking love this
That's not what he was saying, he was just pointing out that there aren't many other factors to complicate it in a music video. And why the limit on 12?

Lets just take a moment and acknowledge how dead inside they look as they dance, that is some real talent cause i cant do that for 3 seconds without laughing
Lyric 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, I still feel alive It is hopeless, I start to notice Oh, 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 (I can feel it) When it is hopeless (It ain't hopeless) I start to notice (Start to notice) And I still feel alive (I can feel it) Falling forward (Falling forward) Back into orbit (Back into orbit) Oh, I still feel alive (I can feel it) When it is hopeless (It ain't hopeless) I start to notice (Start to notice) Oh, I still feel alive (I can feel it) Falling forward (Falling forward) Back into orbit (Yeah) I still feel alive (I can feel it) It ain't hopeless I start to notice I still feel alive (I can feel it) Falling forward (Yeah) I still feel alive I still feel alive
Is no one going to mention how there are only 6 jump-cuts through this whole video?? You can’t listen to this brilliant song without watching the even more impressive video.
I actually counted about five, including the sneaky little cut at 0:50,, but I might've counted wrong. it's still amazing how little cuts they used tho
Sent this to a friend of mine who is a film editor and does video clips.........great video and such effective use of choreography and visuals......great teaching tool of how simple works....and good planning.
i'd consider 0:50 an invisible cut but i couldn't find any other inconsistencies throughout the video and the rest it's 100% possible they could have physically gotten to their place in time... to only cut 5 times in the whole video is a terrifying level of skill
couldn't remember the lyrics of this song, so i searched for "song with white guys dancing in a big room" and got the right result immediately. search algorithms have come a long way. bless.
They probably had been trying to nail that part for a while and you can tell he knew they nailed it. His face says it all....its a very kinda BOOM moment for sure.
Holy shit dude why can’t the clique just like a band or not like a band without saying they are copying tøp this why we have a bad rep. They aren’t even copying Tyler
Bucky Boi bruv what are you even talking about. How are they copying them? How are they stealing talent from them? How are they stealing thousands from them? They don’t even sound like TOP, their videos aren’t like TOP, what are you even talking about?
Bucky Boi I like my comments because self love is important dude anyway I don’t really see the similarities but of course you’re entitled to your own opinion. And I’m sorry if my fist comment came off as rude or harsh I was more so joking around and I wasn’t intending to be mean or anything just because you have a different opinion.
@@renicorlatesla1664 It's Josh Taylor. And this band was compared to Twenty One Pilots early on. The two members of Twenty One Pilots are named Tyler and Josh.
I love this music video so much you can just tell how much work was put into the choreography. It's so good that I used parts of it in my GCSE Drama chair duet piece
my expectation was low at the start of the song, just because it was slow and didn't have a lot happening. but I soon realized why that was, to lead into the awesomeness ahead. what a good single!!
this is some of the most masterful cinematography i’ve ever seen in a music video, not to mention that its accompanying one of the best and catchiest songs i’ve heard in recent memory. i can only thank the UA-cam algorithm for randomly uniting me with this awesome band. i can’t help but feel like they should definitely go on tour someday with OK Go and Ratatat, that would probably be one of the most awesome shows ever...a man can dream, i suppose ☺️
To anyone interested, there's a total of 6 cuts in the whole video, the seam between cut 3 and 4 (when he passes through some hung clothes) being an invisible cut.
@@lauraacevedo1308 I was reading on their Wiki page for the song and they said only 12 hours to film but they had spent about 7 days going over the choreography ahead of time. But still, extremely impressive and especially since the band members weren’t trained dancers.
@@BenjaminTexasDad Oh yeah that makes sense. I honestly really like the choreography too, I imagined it would have taken them longer to learn it, I gotta check their wiki more often, thank you :D
Love these groovy vibes 🔥 Yall should listen to Two Words by Retrofile ... another song with dope bass anyone have other similar vibe song suggestions?
I think that 3:04 is my absolute favorite part of the song. The way that the instruments cut out then crash back in gives the line so much more power and emotion. Wonderfully executed, could (and have) listen for hours

guys it's been months since I first found this song and not a single day has passed where I don't think about how SICK the chord progression before the chorus at 0:52 and 1:45 is to make the sickest drop of all times. the way the instrumental accompanies the voice has been living in my head beyond rent free
Chromatically going to heaven.
Someone put it into words!!
You should hear the isolated drums for Runaway. Check out FIFA halftime track runaway for what's an ultimate masterclass in drums!
Hey I know it's been a month since you posted this but in case you didn't notice, you said this song is living in your hand. Not sure why it's in your hand, but good for you man
@@superoriginalname2851 oh jeez, I corrected that, idk how that came out as "hand" 💀💀💀 half alive gripping my mind so much that I get my words garbled up
These dance moves are goals tbh choreo on point
I just want to say that I really, really, really, really, really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really like this song
Same here, I’m way too late to it though
this is exactly how me and my friends would think our dance sequence we showed to our parents when we were 10 looked like
I am the 420th like, I am proud of myself!
LMAO SAME
1:38 THE WAY HE UNBUTTONS HIS SHIRT HOW IS EVERYTHING HE DOES HOT
YES, AND THE WAY HE PUTS HIS GLASSES UP TOO
Lol I am in love with the fact that every comment is about him
same bro
Because it's Joshua William Taylor and you cannot deny his beauty
I need more
To everyone adding comments: I had the good fortune to get to know Josh Taylor (the lead singer) from days with his other band The Moderates (which was great in its own right). This guy is a supremely gifted songwriter, great vocalist and musician, and uber talented film maker. While all of you are just discovering this band, know that it’s truly the byproduct of undeniable talent meeting great timing and opportunity. Keep watching, you are seeing the next great band emerge.
This song is good. I do think the rest of this band's songs are tad too similar to each other.
I believe it. This is incredible.
I hope these guys get super famous in the future
adamversus I agree my man I too see something great
I'm so excited to see more of them in the future!
How am I JUST HEARING THIS SONG????? 🤩 🤩 🤩 🤯
I wish more of their songs had a groove like this. I'm a big fan and like the rest of the album, but this song is SO above the rest it's crazy.
You are absolutely correct this is amazing
RUNAWAY has the best groove
TrusT is also very groove.
If you like the groove of this I'd recommended checking out OK go since for some reason this song reminds me of their newer stuff
Ready to come back for their new songs?
When the budget can't cover professional dancers so you decide to show the world your band's awesome dance moves.
they did a solid job too all things considered
@@GenuineRage and I like how it's kinda apart of their brand now 💖
And then they show that they are just as good as hired dancers!
Honestly I think the band members making a dance routine to their own music is so much cooler
Also they directed it themselves
These guys are doing the world's ultimate secret handshake...
Imgaine walking in on this as someone who knows nothing
I’d just stare in complete awe as I witnessed art
I really like the choreography, my favorite visual might be at 2:00. The barrier between the eye and the surrounding begins to open and the "I" within is terrified by it. Just love the message of the song and the song itself.
Its MY existential crisis and I GET TO CHOOSE THE MUSIC
what a fuckin mood
FELT this
YES!
big mood af
y'all remmember when this was a barely recognized song with a thousand views? i glad they finally have the recognition they deserve
Yes ~|•
Amen
I listened to this song almost everyday on the bus to and fro, so glad this blew up
Quarantine can do that

Everyone's here making jokes and having fun and all but NO ONE's talking about how GREAT this song is, also this video is just pumpkin on top!
actually people do talk about how great the song is, that's probably just that people just came back to make jokes about the current situation

There's so many things to be amazed by, but one thing that stands out is that they're actually dancing and they have choreography and all that. Like seriously, how many music videos do you see anymore where they're actually dancing and like it looks this good? Usually when there's dancing in a music video it's really simple and/or really focused on butts. Not that that's inherently bad, to each their own, but I really love this.
let's talk about k-pop.
Pangglet Buttcheek yes!! as a kpopper, YES
amandalikesbands Literally every kpop group includes dancing and stuff so... this wasn't that new to me lol
JamJam Suga same hahaha, but do you know DAY6?

Director: “Talk no more”
Well the lead singer directed this

I'm glad I discovered this on UA-cam instead of Spotify
I still feel alive
The “floating in outer space” part still surprises me that it was last minute like bruh it’s one of my favorite lines
Same
saw this comment at the floating in outer space part
epic
Mark Scozzafava noice
Kara AX 400 same
For me it’s the part right after, when he says “caught in the in between or so it seems I’m out of control” like holy shit that part slaps I do a little dance there no matter what
I've never felt better about trusting a UA-cam recommendation.
They are usually low quality, but in rare moments, you get bliss-I mean this.
No, no I don't.
I share this feeling
Yes 🤔
I have the sudden urge to go thrift shopping and buy some kickass jackets and disco vinyls
Yessss
Hacer me too
I read kick ass two separate things, kick being an adjective.
And thought you were into some funky new vocabulary.
Gravity hit me within a few seconds and I'm back in my place.
Dead ass me to idk why but I've always liked 70's clothes
I hope this video gets the definition it deserves, no matter how long it takes.
1:52 i cant get over this that is so satisfying
Honestly !!!!!!!!!
Agreed
My favorite part of the video
Swearrrr
Holy Shit the UA-cam algorithm actually did something great! I've never heard of these guys nor do I follow much of this music scene but I freaking love this
So true!!!!
Same!!
My thoughts exactly!
same here!
What genre is this
This video uses the tracking shot better than a lot of high budget Hollywood movies
True VERY true
That's because the lead singer went to school to be a director. I'm glad he's a musician though
its also only 4 minutes so ya... and extremely linear
@@cole1714 tracking shots can be anywhere from 1 to 12 minutes. The length has nothing to due with quality
That's not what he was saying, he was just pointing out that there aren't many other factors to complicate it in a music video. And why the limit on 12?
god, that hook at the end with the trumpets slowly coming in, absolute perfection.
This song is a core memory for me.

Im sorry im getting human centipede vibes. Its fire tho
nice same
Lets just take a moment and acknowledge how dead inside they look as they dance, that is some real talent cause i cant do that for 3 seconds without laughing
the main guy look pretty alive to me but the rest of them want to die
@@heisenburger7781 He doesn't look fully alive, perhaps he's only half•alive.

Lyric
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, I still feel alive
It is hopeless, I start to notice
Oh, 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 (I can feel it)
When it is hopeless (It ain't hopeless)
I start to notice (Start to notice)
And I still feel alive (I can feel it)
Falling forward (Falling forward)
Back into orbit (Back into orbit)
Oh, I still feel alive (I can feel it)
When it is hopeless (It ain't hopeless)
I start to notice (Start to notice)
Oh, I still feel alive (I can feel it)
Falling forward (Falling forward)
Back into orbit (Yeah)
I still feel alive (I can feel it)
It ain't hopeless
I start to notice
I still feel alive (I can feel it)
Falling forward (Yeah)
I still feel alive
I still feel alive
Now that’s dedication
The lyrics are in the descripcion of the video
Yeesh u did all of this maaaaannn that must take looooonnnnnngggg
I now know that I am a hippie
I finically found the lyrics dude
It's been 5 years and this still hits.
God it's been 5 years...
Yup. It's terrifying how fast time flies. But it's also a reminder that no matter what, who we are now is different from who we were yesterday.
Is no one going to mention how there are only 6 jump-cuts through this whole video?? You can’t listen to this brilliant song without watching the even more impressive video.
I actually counted about five, including the sneaky little cut at 0:50,, but I might've counted wrong. it's still amazing how little cuts they used tho
Sent this to a friend of mine who is a film editor and does video clips.........great video and such effective use of choreography and visuals......great teaching tool of how simple works....and good planning.
I was think just that! It's so amazing... We're studying this and it's really hard to make a video without jump-cuts
I also counted five jump cuts...
i'd consider 0:50 an invisible cut but i couldn't find any other inconsistencies throughout the video and the rest it's 100% possible they could have physically gotten to their place in time... to only cut 5 times in the whole video is a terrifying level of skill
couldn't remember the lyrics of this song, so i searched for "song with white guys dancing in a big room" and got the right result immediately.
search algorithms have come a long way. bless.
I didn’t get the video :(
hahaha it was result 9 or so for me. very nice
I searched for "Indie group dancing in an orange room" lol
I searched guys dancing with changing light
How do all of y’all get this video to come up when you search for stuff I didn’t get anything near still feel

The MK-Ultra butterfly maybe.
YES SAME you can just see in his facial expression that he is feelin it. And his body movements are so uninhibited and confident.
Same!!
They probably had been trying to nail that part for a while and you can tell he knew they nailed it. His face says it all....its a very kinda BOOM moment for sure.
Dude, the singer is hecka pretty.
Holy shit dude why can’t the clique just like a band or not like a band without saying they are copying tøp this why we have a bad rep. They aren’t even copying Tyler
Bucky Boi bruv what are you even talking about. How are they copying them? How are they stealing talent from them? How are they stealing thousands from them? They don’t even sound like TOP, their videos aren’t like TOP, what are you even talking about?
Bucky Boi I like my comments because self love is important dude anyway I don’t really see the similarities but of course you’re entitled to your own opinion. And I’m sorry if my fist comment came off as rude or harsh I was more so joking around and I wasn’t intending to be mean or anything just because you have a different opinion.
Bucky Boi they aren’t copying tøp at all this is the bad side of the clique so most of the clique likes this small bands
Bucky Boi it isn’t the truth hun. Haven’t you heard of taking inspiration of others every one does it
Is no one going to mention how damn high he can sing?
John Doyle as if he wasn't sexy enough
His names Josh or Taylor or something isn't it
@@renicorlatesla1664 It's Josh Taylor. And this band was compared to Twenty One Pilots early on. The two members of Twenty One Pilots are named Tyler and Josh.

my expectation was low at the start of the song, just because it was slow and didn't have a lot happening. but I soon realized why that was, to lead into the awesomeness ahead. what a good single!!

Soooo funky right

me, loop keeps being on
this is some of the most masterful cinematography i’ve ever seen in a music video, not to mention that its accompanying one of the best and catchiest songs i’ve heard in recent memory. i can only thank the UA-cam algorithm for randomly uniting me with this awesome band. i can’t help but feel like they should definitely go on tour someday with OK Go and Ratatat, that would probably be one of the most awesome shows ever...a man can dream, i suppose ☺️
I saw them in concert last year!!
he's a lot worse live. he cant sing that well and often seems to shy to perform.
@@NameHere2243 Oh-
@@Not_Asha oh what?
@@NameHere2243 I didnt know he performed live shows like that.
To anyone interested, there's a total of 6 cuts in the whole video, the seam between cut 3 and 4 (when he passes through some hung clothes) being an invisible cut.
Good catches! That almost makes it even better knowing the jump points. Impressive they did this in twelve hours.
@@BenjaminTexasDad wait, 12 hours?? I thought it took longer, that's really impressive!
@@lauraacevedo1308 I was reading on their Wiki page for the song and they said only 12 hours to film but they had spent about 7 days going over the choreography ahead of time. But still, extremely impressive and especially since the band members weren’t trained dancers.
@@BenjaminTexasDad Oh yeah that makes sense. I honestly really like the choreography too, I imagined it would have taken them longer to learn it, I gotta check their wiki more often, thank you :D
If it took 12 hours, then why does the bassist’s hair change so drastically?
Love these groovy vibes 🔥
Yall should listen to Two Words by Retrofile ... another song with dope bass
anyone have other similar vibe song suggestions?
Portugal the man - feel it still is great
I think that 3:04 is my absolute favorite part of the song. The way that the instruments cut out then crash back in gives the line so much more power and emotion. Wonderfully executed, could (and have) listen for hours
i knew it wasn't weird to have that on repeat
That's very common in alt rock and is done in thousands of songs
yea its good. 3:19 when he hits the high note also just gets me pumped up when i hear it.
The other members just walking away like "ok, time to go" and then- I STILL FEEL ALIIIIIIIIVE
