Rex Orange County - Pluto Projector (Live at Rak Studios) 

Serious thanks to everyone involved in making this. really hope you enjoy ! Love 💕

brooo he’s like 21 and released 3 goddamn BEAUTIFUL studio albums he’s truly a gem

THIS RIGHT HERE STILL FEELS LIKE THE HONEYMOON

You know an artist is truly talented, when there live performances surpass there studio recordings

When my uncle and brother passed away in the same year, I came across this song. I remember crying so hard after hearing it for the first time. There's something about this song that makes me feel like they're with me, comforting me, even if it'll only be temporary. This song feels like a warm, comforting hug that I never thought I needed.

Sunflower +best friend + pluto projector = 👼

I don't know why, but this makes me want to cry

I just saw him live last week. His sound and voice were exceptional. He did not slip up once while he was playing the piano switching out playing guitars jumping around just pouring his little heart out sounding no different than studio except of course only better because of the live factor. Pure talent I love him so much

It’s so surprising to see there's such a contradictory person like this. He was the most wholesome and loveliest singer I've ever seen + HE’S INNOCENT

i will never stop listening to this shut up im emotional

He doesn’t need autotune but autotune need him✊🏻😭

at 3:00, amazing how these arrangements always manage to bring me not only tears, but a unique feeling that I've never felt with any other song, the feeling that everything will be fine, it doesn't matter the situation, eternity is our way

Lyrics 00:01 : - The great protector Is that what i'm supposed to be? What if all this counts for nothing Everything i thought i'd be? What if by the time i realize It's too far behind to see? - Seventy-mil projector I can show you everything, yeah And we're on our way to glory Where the show won't ever end And the encore lasts forever Now this time we're due to spend - Spending the years together Growing older everyday, yeah I feel at home when i'm around you And i'll gladly say again I hope the encore lasts forever Now there's time for us to spend - And it's sublime with you my friend This right here still feels like the honeymoon When you say my name, nothing's changed I'm still a boy inside my thoughts Am i meant to undestand my faults? - I don't think so I don't think i'm meant to undestand myself Oh, maybe you do And that's good for you Well, maybe in time Maybe one day I'll do the same - I'll do the same I'll do the same I'll do the same -♬ Yeah, i'll do the same as you i'll try and hold it up Soon i hope or as soon as i'm old enough -♬♬ Old enough to understand Old enough to understand -♬♬♬ Stay forever You know more than anyone, yeah, wo-oh And it's you that knows my darkness And you know my bedroom needs You could blast me and my secrets But there's probably just no need

How is it that every single instrument player here played perfectly

His voice is like the lazy singing that we do when we walk around the house

The great protector Is that what I'm supposed to be? Yeah What if all this counts for nothing Everything I thought I'd be? What if by the time I realize It's too far behind to see? Seventy-mil projector I can show you everything, yeah And we're on our way to glory Where the show won't ever end And the encore lasts forever And this time we're due to spend Yeah Spendin' the years together Growing older every day, yeah Yeah, put your lights in the sky I feel at home when I'm around you And I'll gladly say again I hope the encore lasts forever Now there's time for us to spend, yeah And it's sublime with you, my friend This right here still feels like a honeymoon When you say my name, nothing's changed I'm still a boy inside my thoughts Am I meant to understand my faults? I don't think so I don't think I'm meant to understand myself Well, maybe you do That's good for you And, well, maybe in time Maybe one day I'll do the same I'll do the same I'll do the same I'll do the same I said that I'll do the same, yeah Uh-huh, I'll do the same as you I'll try and hold it up Soon I hope or as soon as I'm old enough Old enough to understand, yeah Old enough to understand, yeah Stay forever, you know more than anyone, yeah, oh-oh And it's you that knows my darkness And you know my bedroom needs You could blast me and my secrets But there's probably just no need

My son played this song for me knowing I would love it and now everyone I hear it it reminds me of him. He just left for college and all I can thin k about is how vulnerable this time is for him

_I really appreciate the beautiful voice of Rex Orange County_

damn... when the orchestra kicks in it's just pure bliss

Am gonna cry, when he sang "old enough to understand" and when the music hits, it sounds so good.. idk that was so beautiful.

That synth bass moving octaves is such a nice little touch

Honestly, this song is immaculate. Abandoning familiar singer-songwriter structure, forcing you to fall into the story it is yearning to tell. The lyrics at first glance are wayward but soon reach their destination when examined as an entire poem. It is when that gorgeous pathos of a string section begins that whatever emotion that wasn't explored during the verses gets codified with meticulous and visceral phrasing. This boy is 21 and has seemingly seen the world through a lens far beyond his years. This song is paint and we are the canvas; part of a perniciously heartbreaking but inviting album. A true talent.

lmao the look he made on 3:39 he's like "damn this shit beautiful"

This is such a good song! I really hope this young man doesn’t involve himself in any scandalous activities!

this song ..especially when that part hits after old enough to understand just gives me flashbacks when i was happy and everything and all those nice things it makes me tear up everytime i hear it and gives me chills cos its just so damn beautiful

amazing

Sounds like the album version.

seen him play this as an encore on his tour rn and I swear I was in tears when he said " hope this encore last forever" because I truly enjoyed every second of the show with the love of my life. I love you Shawn

My cat passed away June 10th and this song reminds me so much of her, she really provided me so much comfort and saved me. I’ll forever miss her and love her.

when the orchestra started. i feel want to cry

rex wearing orange in county

it always give me goosebumps everytime the strings kick in

hes so talented even without autotune i love him and i love the fact that is always himself this is my fav song from his album

He grew into his own style so well and even looks so different from before. So proud of his growth, we all are potentially watching the evolution of one of the greatest artists to ever live. Lucky time to be alive

i’m so gonna play this at my wedding and i hope i get to see rex play live. these songs will forever be beautiful, thank you.

its been great all this years rex orange county until nextime

BEST SONG IN THE ALBUM

Rex really captures the feeling of living through the transitions of life with the people/person you love. He makes you feel how lucky we can be in life with the people we are with and how we can be better version ourselves not only for them,, but also for our own sake. While life happens and when your effort can seem like they're always never enough, all it takes is just a 10/10 album for you to be inspired now to make decisions you couldn't before because you never had the balls.

His voice always gives me goosebumps

ive never been more disappointed man

I WAS HAVING A BAD DAY, BUT THEN I SAW THIS AND IT MADE MY DAYYYYYYY

Can’t wait to be in the same room as him when he sings this in concert 🥺 Edit: thank you guys so much for the likess, im feeling the love in this fandom wowow

every time I listen to this song, my heart strings start to pull 😩 amazing artist with just as amazing lyrics.

The chord progression at the end is literally the most beautiful one I've heard in my life.

Gawd, his voice is so soothing, even just naturally like this, it's like his voice tells you it's all gonna be ok Edit: Thanks for the attention, Rex thanks for helping through a rough patch, thanks for the words I needed to hear ❤

if you are here you have good taste in music.

I just think you are the most incredible artist. The journey you take me on makes me feel utterly complete. Like crystal shards of sound, every note just exactly where it should be and what it should be. Thank you for colouring in for us what we instinctively know to be there.

this sounds like heaven

3:40 *blessed image of rex orange county*

3:02 is what u going to hear when ur body lifted as u going to heaven

IDK HOW MANY TIMES I REPEAT THIS PERFORMANCE, STILL, AMAZING.

That orchestra feels like that first sip of McDonald Sprite

idk if i’m looking into this too deeply but i like how the instrument players aren’t all facing rex meaning that there is no particular spotlight on him and they are all just doing their own thing.

The way he looks up to the ceiling savoring the moment right there with the cellos and violins playing in the background at 3:40 really gives me the butterflies in my stomach.

This song made me feel lucky to have heard it in my lifetime. 🇹🇭

I love Rexs music. Even if he might be guilty, his music will always be a part of my heart. I really hope hes innocent though

*"growing older everyday,"* *"i feel at home when im around you"* this song makes me bring back every memory i had with him, even though my mind doesn't want to remember it, alexanders song makes me feel like its worth waiting for him...

[Verse 1] The great protector Is that what I'm supposed to be? What if all this counts for nothing Everything I thought I'd be? What if by the time I realize It's too far behind to see? Seventy-mil projector I can show you everything, yeah And we're on our way to glory Where the show won't ever end And the encore lasts forever And it's time we're due to spend [Verse 2] Spending the years together Growing older every day (Every day) I feel at home when I'm around you And I'll gladly say again I hope the encore lasts forever Now there's time for us to spend And it's sublime with you, my friend This right here still feels like a honeymoon When you say my name, nothing's changed I'm still a boy inside my thoughts Am I meant to understand my faults? [Chorus] I don't think so I don't think I'm meant to understand myself Maybe you do And that's good for you Maybe in time Maybe one day I'll do the same (I'll do the same I'll do the same I'll do the same) [Bridge] I'll do the same as you I'll try and hold it up Soon I hope Or as soon as I'm old enough (Old enough to understand Old enough to understand) [Outro] Stay forever, you know more than anyone (Yeah, whoa) And it's you that knows my darkness And you know my bedroom needs You could blast me and my secrets But there's probably just no need

I get goosebumps and tears no matter how many times I listen to this song. It’s so comforting to me. Thank you Alexander for sharing such an emotional and meaningful price with us.

Man, this is one of the most beautiful things I've ever heared.

Why does this make me cry. EVERY SINGLE TIME.

That hair on the sensor is having a great time

the best song i've ever heard

i used to listen to your songs everyday but i cant do that anymore now

IF IM TALKING BOUT A MASTERPIECE THIS IS WHAT IM TALKING ABOUT

That outro makes me feel like I’m going to heaven

Seriously, I started loving all his songs these days BUT WHY NOW idk, just hope this guy be innocent

I literally get chills from this songs everytime I listen to it

The string arrangement and ensemble are otherworldly in their beauty!

When he said "the great protector, is that what im supposed to be" i felt that

I'm going to see this beautiful king in concert with my loving girlfriend. I'm so lucky to be in a time where we have so much incredible music to help make life worth it, and push us to succeed. Rex helps us appreciate life and deserves to be praised 🙏❤❤

this this is it the masterpiece of bedroom pop.

i’m really considering sneaking out for his concert

Dude I watched this live and it was literally magical Everyone just went quiet and swayed and it was just beautiful He also said I love you back to me🥺

happy birthday james🎂🎂

Thank you so much Alex for releasing this song and the many others! You make my day every time!

Pluto Projector The great protector Is that what I'm supposed to be? What if all this counts for nothing Everything I thought I'd be? What if by the time I realize It's too far behind to see? Seventy-mil projector I can show you everything, yeah And we're on our way to glory Where the show won't ever end And the encore lasts forever And it's time we're due to spend Spending the years together Growing older every day I feel at home when I'm around you And I'll gladly say again I hope the encore lasts forever Now there's time for us to spend And it's sublime with you, my friend This right here still feels like the honeymoon When you say my name, nothing's changed I'm still a boy inside my thoughts Am I meant to understand my faults? I don't think so I don't think I'm meant to understand myself Maybe you do And that's good for you Maybe in time Maybe one day I'll do the same I'll do the same I'll do the same I'll do the same I'll do the same as you I'll try and hold it up Soon I hope, or as soon as I'm old enough Stay forever, you know more than anyone, yeah, whoa And it's you that knows my darkness And you know my bedroom needs You could blast me and my secrets But there's probably just no need

that “I’ll do the same” and “old enough to understand” am dying for.

This song explores the speaker's contemplation of their role as a protector and the uncertainty about its significance. There's a theme of a perpetual show, with references to a projector and an everlasting encore. The lyrics also express a desire for enduring connections, especially as the years pass. The speaker feels at home when surrounded by loved ones and reflects on the joy of growing older together. There's a recognition of not fully understanding oneself, with a hope that understanding may come in time. The song conveys a mix of introspection, longing for lasting connections, and the comfort of being understood by someone who knows the speaker's darkness and secrets. Really, a great masterpiece of a song. Salute rex!

It's 2024 and I'm still stuck with your music 🎉❤😢

This sounds just so comforting and warm.

This may be the most beautiful thing I’ve ever heard.

2:55 cried

2:20 I love this guy👰🏻‍♀️

always gotta goosebumps all over the body when the orchestra part coming

Look, I’m not typically a marriage person, but fuck, if I was then this needs to play at my wedding.

I still love this song

I just recently discovered about him. And damn, I actually love him. This is the first time I've seen him do live as I usually listen to spotify. It makes you love him even more. He's that damn good.

_I could lie all day listening to this..._

I'm 21, and he's 21. what the hell is happening to me, Jesus?

Always gonna be my fav ❤. Thank you Rex. I’m blessed to have your music in my life. It helps me a lot.

it gets me everytime when the orchestra starts to do it's magic

Just found my wedding song

I've watched 5 seconds and its beautiful

Esa parte donde tocan los instrumentos de cuerda es amazing, es pura magia.

The instrumentals and piano is ✨✨✨✨

I think Rex has a way of singing his songs in a way that you feel like you’ve know him for years

Can we take a moment to appreciate that he is only 21

I can never get sick of this song, I love it so much
