Not really. High notes need more air and vocal strength than low notes.

@lamipurpure7992

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

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.

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 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

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

3:48 voice crack, he is an incredible singer I really love their music, also his voice cracks are majestic

One of my Top 3 albums this year, love it!

The definition of lovely holy heck

Glad that Half Alive keeps getting this great coverage. An exciting and innovative group.

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!!!

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.

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

I was having a bad day until I saw this was the new video today. Thank you guys. Music truly is therapy. ☺

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! :)

💖💖💖 totally in love with their music!

I always come back to this. After years I still love this and think it’s one of the best npr performances out there. Sound engineer always on point ;)

Joshua’s little laugh at 9:39 is the cutest

Just found out about this band and I now know what appreciation is

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.

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
