That's actually crazy af, I feel like I just came out of the worst slump of my life so far. Someone recommended this band to me and that's exactly how I just felt listening.
@@szumiks2019 Thank GOODNESS I'm not the only one who understands that. He is always there for you, no matter what. He loves you and cares for you. God will never, ever, ever leave you no matter what happens, no matter what you've done or said or though.
I like how this song has an acoustic guitar in it which is a direct contrast to their other songs and makes me remind me of other indie singers :))) Ohhh they inserted a part of pure gold in the middle AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Lyrics: [Intro] I lay on the carpet A wrench to let you in Carbonating emotion Tears rising to the rim I fled to the walls, yeah Be sure I’m surrounded But there’s strength behind a lowered gates (a humble embrace) (a vulnerable place) [Verse] Said you're open through tears and trembling It’s a major step, it's okay to fret Here's a safe place to let your heart down It’s a second chance, it won't be your last [Chorus] Letting my guard down Love to be held close The strength in the open The broken and exposed Should I flee to the mountains Be sure I’m surrounded There’s strength with an open space (a humble embrace) (a vulnerable place) [Verse] Say you're open through tears and trembling It's a major step, it's okay to fret Here's a safe place to let your heart down It's a second chance, it won't be your last Say you’re open through tears and trembling It’s a major step, it's okay to fret Here’s a safe place to let your heart down It's a second chance, it won't be your last
is it called breakfast bc you desperately need a break but it’s hard to slow life down so it’s just a quick break until your next “break” down??? or maybe it’s just bc cereals are pretty damn good. maybe.
I kinda thought of fast as fasting from taking a break, and the song is saying "it's okay to stop, go break (that) fast" but idk the cereal theory sounds more legit
oh my god this sounds like a song you’d hear in an indie movie where the main character has just been heartbroken and their on the way home, staring out the car window and learning that it’ll be okay. im cryumbg.
I think it’s amazing how fast you guys have grown as I remember when you just started and and had like 3 songs and I admire how committed you are to music as I am all ways waiting for the next song to come out as they never disappoint.
Gosh when I first listened to this album I was more drawn to the upbeat songs like still feel, arrow, and ice cold, but after listening to the whole thing straight through when I was feeling down this song really grew on me. It’s so gorgeous and soothing, and it makes me feel like everything’s gonna be ok. Now I put this song on repeat when I’m upset and it makes me cry every time, but in a good sense. It’s so comforting and atmospheric and it makes me feel safe. It’s like the lyric “It’s a major step, it’s ok to fret. Here’s a safe place to lay your heart down” is literal, in that they knew this song could serve as a shelter to people. Thank you so much half alive.
This song always makes me so emotional. It makes me feel so many emotion, and god the lyrics just tell such a beautiful story and god i just always tear up whenever i listen to this. It's so beautiful. Definitely one of my favourite of the album.
The morning after this song came out, I woke up before sunrise and went for a walk in the woods to clear my head. I had a lot of drama with friends at the time and school was starting in 2 days. I remember listening to this song while crying in a field full of wildflowers with the soft pink light from the sunrise glowing through the trees. It was a really magical experience. And now every time I listen to this song it makes me feel like everything's going to be ok :)
Your music has helped me so much. I was dealing with self harm a few months ago, and your songs just make me feel valid and relaxed. (I’m doing better now though :)
[Intro] I lay on the carpet A wrench to let you in Carbonating emotion Tears rising to the rim I fled to the walls, yeah Be sure I'm surrounded (Where no one can find me) But there’s strength behind a lowered gate (A humble embrace, a venerable place) [Verse] Say you're open through tears and trembling It's a major step, it’s okay to fret Here's a safe place to lay your heart down It's a second chance, it won't be your last [Chorus] Letting my guard down Enough to be held close There's strength in the open The broken and exposed Should I flee to the mountains?

I love the random swells of sound that suddenly stop that are through out the song. It's like something is trying to break through the music. And that throwback to Pure Gold gave me chills! This song is beautiful
Ok imma be honest I was kinda scared for this album just because I wasn’t a huge fan of pure gold and ok ok but I’ve listened to breakfast and maybe so far and they’re both amazing
can we also acknowledge that the melody that josh sings at around 1:02 and 2:46 sounds like intro from *7 vinyl?? it sounded so familiar and i love how they incorporated it in here!
Guys, your music really is art, it's the best I can hear every day and I swear there is nothing that makes me change my mind, I follow them from their song "the fall" and since then I fell in love with their style .. .. THEY ARE THE BEST!!!!!!!!!
Leave your comments through tears and trembling, it's a major step it's ok to fret. Here's a, "safe place" to lay your heart down. It's your second chance, it won't be your last.🙃🙃🙃🙃
I remember when the fall came out... and now an entire album is out 🥺 *YOU GUYS HAVE COME SO FAR I LOVE Y’ALL*
and the "copying" shenanigans
@@UNDERSCORELESLIE lol I remember that, all those annoying clikkies
punchfruit I’m confused
punchfruit OH WAIT YEAH ABOUT THEM AND TØP
@@HollyHodges theres still clikkies who think they 'copied' smh
“Here’s a safe place to lay your heart down” thats so cute i FELT that 🥺
as someone who struggled with vulnerability my whole life and only been able to open myself in the past two years, that line made me tear up :,)
@@lizzie-4011 awwhh i can understand, half alive are awesome dude
I'm not one for slower softer songs but tHIS (OH MY GSOHSDD THE PURE GOLD REFERENCE PLEASE)
so that's what it was. i knew i ha heard it before. nice
When i heard it I knew exactly what it was and it's so beautiful like this album
Its pure gold
Theres also an ice cold reference in the piano that plays after.
They seem to do that with a few of their older songs too
This song makes me feel as if something really stressful just ended and someone is hugging me and telling me I did it, it's okay now.
oh my gosh that’s exactly it and now i’m crying
!SPOILER!
This person is Jesus.
That's actually crazy af, I feel like I just came out of the worst slump of my life so far. Someone recommended this band to me and that's exactly how I just felt listening.

Ohhh they inserted a part of pure gold in the middle AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
C h a r l e m a g n e t h e g r e a t that pure gold part just made my heart happier 🥺
They like their leitmotifs haha
--especially in this song
This entire album is something you can listen to while laying on the floor of your shower in the dark
oddly specific but ok
Lol im listening to this on the floor of my bedroom in the dark 😂😂
I know exactly what you mean- imagine the Pure Gold reference’s echo heightened by the shower walls... gorgeous
You have a bigger shower than me I guess
Is that.. Something y'all do??
Can I listen to this while eating *dinner* ?
what a power move
NO YOU MUST ONLY LISTEN TO IT WHILE EATING BREAKFAST
LOL apart from the album release, this comment made my day
You'll be arrested for the worst crime 😉😂
I love half alive so much
the pure gold part was, well, pure gold. not in a humourous way, but in a "this is unbelievably precious and beautiful" way.
Lyrics:
[Intro]
I lay on the carpet
A wrench to let you in
Carbonating emotion
Tears rising to the rim
I fled to the walls, yeah
Be sure I’m surrounded
But there’s strength behind a lowered gates
(a humble embrace)
(a vulnerable place)
[Verse]
Said you're open through tears and trembling
It’s a major step, it's okay to fret
Here's a safe place to let your heart down
It’s a second chance, it won't be your last
[Chorus]
Letting my guard down
Love to be held close
The strength in the open
The broken and exposed
Should I flee to the mountains
Be sure I’m surrounded
There’s strength with an open space
(a humble embrace)
(a vulnerable place)
[Verse]
Say you're open through tears and trembling
It's a major step, it's okay to fret
Here's a safe place to let your heart down
It's a second chance, it won't be your last
Say you’re open through tears and trembling
It’s a major step, it's okay to fret
Here’s a safe place to let your heart down
It's a second chance, it won't be your last
YOURE AN ANGEL thank you for adding the lyricsss
I hear:
Letting my guard down
enough to be held close
There's strength in the open
is it called breakfast bc you desperately need a break but it’s hard to slow life down so it’s just a quick break until your next “break” down??? or maybe it’s just bc cereals are pretty damn good. maybe.
axelisemotional maybe it's both
4 2
*cries in bathtub while furiously shoving lucky charms in mouth*
LP Ali what a mood
I kinda thought of fast as fasting from taking a break, and the song is saying "it's okay to stop, go break (that) fast" but idk the cereal theory sounds more legit
Yongironi yeah idk cereals have a deeper meaning yknow?
When that Pure Gold riff came in I cried :,)
Fun fact, this song was written before Pure Gold.
Got a taste of pure gold in there. Absolutely loving it. Ahhhh!!!!
I didn’t realize my heart was going too fast until this because I am so. calm
This is the way
I recognize your pfp! Mewo!
New achievement unlocked:
Undressing in headphones.
I didn't even wanna pause the music
It's really cool to hear you guys combining elements of different songs into other ones to coordinate these new songs!!
That reminded me of tøp
Lol
It's amazing.
I’ll put in repeat this song in all my breakfasts🤠
Luis Robledo same
SAMEEE
This is so beautiful, and the part from pure gold, it sounded so distant and lulling, how wonderful
These songs are what it means to live longer in a world of darkness
where half alive can bring the light
oh my god this sounds like a song you’d hear in an indie movie where the main character has just been heartbroken and their on the way home, staring out the car window and learning that it’ll be okay. im cryumbg.
Yes 😂😂
I should be doing homework but all I can do now is cry 😭 I'm so happy for you guys and how far you've come
well this is just the beginning
@@abhiklovesbadbitches to true 😭😭😭😭😭😭
This band is literally doing the lord's work
I think it’s amazing how fast you guys have grown as I remember when you just started and and had like 3 songs and I admire how committed you are to music as I am all ways waiting for the next song to come out as they never disappoint.
This song is a whole experience by itself.

its amazing seeing you guys get popular,, watching yall and your style grow is so awesome
This song makes sitting in the dark feel more like a hug than something to be scared of
This album is like free therapy
I'm so glad they're getting popular.
Me: What's the most important meal of the d-
Half•Alive : *BREAKFAST*
*_SERVING IT UP GARY'S WAY_*

I like how they put beginning of pure gold into the song
i love how they incorporated that little riff from pure gold in towards the end
I can imagine this being the soundtrack to my life.
This song feels like a friend that’s always there for you
oh my god i'm gonna cry i'm so proud of how far you guys have come
gosh this song is pure beauty and lyrical genius
I'm in love with this album
Your music has helped me so much. I was dealing with self harm a few months ago, and your songs just make me feel valid and relaxed. (I’m doing better now though :)
I just found y’all via Spotify recommendation and haven’t found a song I don’t like. Y’all are amazing God bless you
God all of their songs are so reassuring and uplifting without being disingenuous

It's a second chance, it won't be your last
I have tears in my eyes
music that helps you do things you're afraid to do
Man I love you guys I'm really happy your getting a lot of attention
Robbie Albanesi it’s good, but they don’t sound the same recently. The music is still good, but since RUNAWAY I think something changed.
@@thedigitalscorcerer3248 I kinda agree but I still like there music alot
Defenitely my favourite of the album.
I’m so happy rn!
I HEAR PURE GOLD,, OMGGG
Waiting for the album in Spotify
This song makes me feel like I’m not alone. It brings me a lot of comfort. So thank you. I really need that right now.
The pure gold part in the middle!😍
I LOVE IT 🥺
bloody hell thought I was all done crying
this turned on the waterworks again the song's tooo good
This song is so beautiful, when the pure gold beat starting coming in the background I genuinely started crying
letting my guard down
enough to be held close
there’s strength in the open
the broken and exposed
This is it, the best song on the album. I love it
This song broke me... and I love it all the more for that because i get this one on such a deep level that even i dont understand...
THE PURE GOLD VOCALS IN THE MIDDLE AHHHHH
Hits different when you're actually laying on a carpet
