half·alive - Summerland (Official Video) 

Fun fact: the distance between my house and where i work is exactly 12 plays of Summerland.

I used to hate summer, it always meant more work and lonely times, especially for someone without many friends. Last year I worked on my mental health a lot and realized the reason I hated this season is because I hated myself. But this year I got a new job, made a lot of new friends and even started a new relationship, this song captures everything good I've felt about summer this year and that makes me really happy. Thank you Half Alive

the ending gave me chills!!!!

i am literally obsessed w Fivel. no words

Such a surprise when I saw Fivel I was not expecting my favorite artist to be friends with the actress of one of my favorite characters from Netflix Atypical! Its so great im so happy and the song its a such a vibe too its amazing!!

Over the span of 4 years, their music has managed to evolve in sound & visuals, yet there's that core sound to Half Alive's music that hopefully will never leave. I truly admire that

This video hits that perfect happy-sad nostalgic sweet spot.

I think this is what everyone wants, but few can attain. Everyone wants friends to endlessly experience the joys of life but in an age of heightened fears, this keeps seeming more and more like a distant dream than an achievable reality. To those living in summerland, kudos to you. And also, how do I get there?

you guys are just the greatest!

fivels laugh throughout the video makes this even better than it already is 😍😍😍

Everything is freedom 'Til the seasons change And the trees start dying And the sunlight leaves your face Hear the crack of lightning Where your heart will break Into new beginnings beginning to erase [Pre-Chorus] But something 'bout May makes it all feel better, baby Summerland holds what I want right now It's like the hoodie you find and you wear forever, baby Whatever ain't golden now will only come back around [Chorus] When summer comes, I'ma cut my hair Take a long drive heading anywhere Be dancing all night with all my friends Sittin' on the shores of Summerland, oh When summer comes, I'ma cut my hair Take a long drive heading anywhere Be dancing all night with all my friends Sittin' on the shores of Summerland [Verse 2] Now the year is aging And the shadows grow And the color's fading And the people start to slow Like a crowded station Where the air is cold All the strangers waiting On the train that could bring them home

Welcome all tøp fans who just found us! I nearly lost my mind when I found out my two favorite bands would be touring together, especially since I've got tickets to go in October.

Fivel is so gorgeous I love her so much!

fivel wearing her iconic big hoop earrings from atypical is just perfect

I just figured out that the whole video is a loop, at the beginning Josh watches Fivel leave at the airport and then at the end Josh watches Fivel leave again, so does this mean that he is stuck in summer land and that the song is metaphor for being in a dark place and instead of getting help, they just decide focus on the good parts and that's all they do, but deep down inside they not ok, because at the end and beginning Josh looks worried

manifesting this kind of summer for me and everyone watching this rn

The most unbelievable thing about this whole (very well done video) is that these people have friends at their age who are actually available to go on (what appears to be) MULTIPLE different road trips. I can barely get by with a day or two of vacation at a time let alone plan elaborate week long getaways with multiple individuals of exactly corresponding days off.

Fivel's smile is everything 😭❤️

This band is giving jobs to young dancers and I love it.

I love that you can tell that everyone in the video genuinely had fun while filming it

It's like they can sense when someone is having a bad day and their like "Here, let me give you this gem" 🥺🥺

Whatever ain't golden now, will only come BACK AROUND. That ties in nicely.

I hadn't heard of half alive until about a month ago. I've listened to them every day since. They've become one of my favorite bands. This video is gorgeous!

Glad they realized this because now I have a summer anthem!!!

I cannot explain how perfect this is for how my summers been going, especially since I’m about to go to college in the fall 😭

Ah man… This music video reminds me of so many bittersweet memories :’) There’s something quite beautiful about impermanence. Though we certainly wish moments like these were permanent :(

Can we please have a choreography tutorial for that epic dance party at the end?!

Oh to be young again at 65 I still love music like this!

Summerland is the song that’s going to take the band to the next level, they are about to become huge

I remember the last time I went on a proper Summer holiday, still feel came out the day before. Now, as I'm getting ready to finally go back there, this song is released. Can't wait for this video, the song already makes me nostalgic.

the visuals, the clip, the music, the filming man everything. This is such a great song, I’m glad i exist the same time as half alive!

Excitement in comment form.

I’m so excited to seee you on the TOP tour !!!!!!

so proud of you all

Whoever directed/produced this music video needs to be set for life cuz WOW!

The description ❤️

I became a fan of Half Alive just last year. Their music really helped uplift me during such a difficult time. This video and the song is the epitome of joy. Thank you for this video it was absolutely beautiful and to the band this is one killer song!

I saw them twice - they opened for twenty one pilots - first two nights of TOP residency in Columbus. I’m so thankful for their music just as much as 21s. This song is infinite. This song is nostalgia floating in a messenger bottle waiting to be discovered. Absolutely brilliant highway serenade.

the line “what ever ain’t golden now, will only come back around” is perfect

Creature (the song) got me invested so here I am

This song is a legit certified bop and FIVEL MF STEWART is starring in the music video too?!?! *I AM UNWELL*

this hurts so much but it's so beautiful

If I'm going to be honest, I think I like this song the most, like more than still feel.

Absolute masterpiece. Made me feel many things.

This song just makes you FEEL ugh it’s incredible

are you trying to make me miss summer? jesus i love this band

SO GOOD

Everything about this is awesome: summerland, halfalive, fivel, everything!

I had chills through the whole video. The level of artistry is just unmatched

Damn these guys are true artists.

Fivel how do you feel about your own army of women's? We are ALL in love with you!

this made me feel some time of way... wish i could rewatch that for the first time again.

Necesito ir por lo menos a uno de sus conciertos en mi vida

soo excited for this, the song itself is great, and just based off of the preview it looks like the real thing will be really aesthetically pleasing. Also noticing how well written the description is, even with it being just a paragraph. Can't wait!! Edit: I was not at all dissapointed. It looks like it was so fun to film, who cares about daily serotonin when you can get the yearlong package with this stuff. aaaa I love it, also the part starting at like 2:54 is so well transtitioned i cant anymore

[Verse 1] Everything is freedom 'Til the seasons change And the trees start dying And the sunlight leaves your face Hear the crack of lightning Where your heart will break Into new beginnings beginning to erase [Pre-Chorus] But something 'bout May makes it all feel better, baby Summerland holds what I want right now It's like the hoodie you find and you wear forever, baby Whatever ain't golden now will only come back around [Chorus] When summer comes, I'ma cut my hair Take a long drive heading anywhere Be dancing all night with all my friends Sittin' on the shores of Summerland, oh When summer comes, I'ma cut my hair Take a long drive heading anywhere Be dancing all night with all my friends Sittin' on the shores of Summerland [Verse 2] Now the year is aging And the shadows grow And the color's fading And the people start to slow Like a crowded station Where the air is cold All the strangers waiting On the train that could bring them home [Pre-Chorus] But something 'bout May makes it all feel better, baby Summerland holds what I want right now It's like the hoodie you find and you wear forever, baby Whatever ain't golden now will only come back around [Chorus] When summer comes, I'ma cut my hair Take a long drive heading anywhere Be dancing all night with all my friends Sittin' on the shores of Summerland, oh When summer comes, I'ma cut my hair Take a long drive heading anywhere Be dancing all night with all my friends Sittin' on the shores of Summerland [Post-Chorus] It's all golden Every moment Dancing all night with all my friends Sittin' on the shores of Summerland Flowing rivers It's all romance Dancing all night with all my friends Sittin' on the shores of Summerland, oh [Pre-Chorus] Something 'bout May makes it all feel better, baby Summerland holds what I want right now It's like the hoodie you find and you wear forever, baby Whatever ain't golden now will only come back around [Chorus] When summer comes, I'ma cut my hair Take a long drive heading anywhere Be dancing all night with all my friends Sittin' on the shores of Summerland, oh When summer comes, I'ma cut my hair Take a long drive heading anywhere Be dancing all night with all my friends Sittin' on the shores of Summerland [Post-Chorus] It's all golden Every moment Dancing all night with all my friends Sittin' on the shores of Summerland Flowing rivers It's all romance Dancing all night with all my friends Sittin' on the shores of Summerland, oh [Outro] We're golden (Dancing all night, oh) In Summerland I'm coming back to you We're golden (Dancing all night, oh) In Summerland I'm coming back to you We're golden (Dancing all night, oh) In Summerland I'm coming back to you

This is my imaginary group of friend

This is the kind of song where you say "it's cool" and the more you listen to it, grows on you to the point of goosebumps 💛

I just saw them in Chicago just a few days ago and they were AMAZING. When this song played, the crowd lost it and the energy was beyond words. The release of positivity blew me away as the crowd just celebrated life. Thanks to Half Alive for putting a show that made us all feel ALIVE!

This video feels so real

God, the vibes are Immaculate

Thank you for giving us more Fivel content 😍 the editing of this video is incredible and the song is beautiful ❤

half.alive is heading for the stars!!!! Finally :)

These songs are very replayable.

i’m in love with everything about this song

Let’s gooo ‼️

Summer nostalgia yesss

preparing for the takeover tour glad I discovered y’all through twenty one pilots

this is PURE ART

cant wait!!!

This video just broke my heart but I also loved it so so much. It captures very very strong feelings and emotions that I’ve experienced before and that I long for again. This video, just like every other half alive video is perfection. I’ve admired josh ever since the first time I set eyes on a half alive video in 2019 and wish I could have him or someone like him in my life. Everything about him reminds me of someone I once use to know. Beautiful video. Made me cry.

Their cinematography and story telling is constantly getting better and better.

God must’ve really just been like “here Half Alive, give them serotonin.”

Full body CHILLS!!

music

Fivel, half alive, the song, the vibe, the dance sequence 😭 everything is just chef’s kiss

the way the heart goes 💔at the end after all the good vibes, it should not be allowed

every half•alive music video is so different and so amazing and fits the song so well

The dance is very romantic and intimate, I like that they can take a more sensual direction from their usually masculine movements

Couldn't have asked for a batter way to describe and show Summer than this.

Happy summer for us here on the southern hemisphere!

Lesgooo

Summer is my least favorite season and somehow this song makes me wish it was summer! By the way I'm obsessed with it, i can't stop listening to this song, it makes me feel nostalgic and at the same time brings me so much happiness

One of if not the best song i've ever heard

1. It's a music video. 2. The song tells a story. 3. The end is a common reality we have all faced at one point or another in our lives making it all-the-more heartbreaking, beautiful, and life-changing. These guys are very good about creating and displaying life as we know it.

There's something extremely nostalgic yet tragic about the last 15 seconds of the video. It takes my breath away every time.

Ok, I was not expecting the end, my reaction was like "NOOO!" also, the part of all people dancing I had chills, as a dancer wanting to do this in her life, one day... also, how can Fivel be such an amazing actress, dancer and singer too my god

don't you just long for sweet and pure moments like this? Even though the season changes, you want those fleeting gifts of intimacy

this is such a dream fever.

awww Fivel :3

i'm so glad these guys and dayglow are getting more attention lately. such great bands. keep up the great work guys!

Man, if only summers actually were this fun...

This video made me so nostalgic. It brought me back to those times before COVID, when everything was possible. I'm scared that we won't have summerland back 💔

cant wait i love your songs they got a beautiful meaning

Ooh. Excited for all of this.

this really isnt my usual type of music i listen to, but the fucking video is so incredibly stunning i have to watch it over and over again DAMN!!!!

can i just live in this video forever pls

I'm honestly surprised this video doesn't have more comments on May 1st.

This looks like it was filmed all around orange county 😍

it’s so bittersweet listening to this as summer comes to a close

best stuff ever edit: can't stop coming back to this
