Alex The Astronaut - 'Split The Sky' (Official Video)

Показать описание

Follow me!

Split the Sky felt like my early life crisis and so it only made sense to make the video out of videos that I’d made for other moments in my song filled life. Melanie, Lucas, Jules, Roland, Sarah, Erin, Bjorn, Marie and Lucy made all these videos and I’ve been the luckiest astronaut to get to work with them. Lupa J is a true genius for putting them together in such a beautiful story. This video made me cry, it has so many people I love in it. I hope it makes you cry too but in a happy cathartic good way. Alex

LYRICS:
I’ve been colder, watching Harry Potter looking older.
I’ve been hoping, I have what it takes to keep rolling,
That the rise and the fall of the tides,
Won’t catch me and wash me aside.

If I sit here and watch Harry Potter will I be alright?
When I was little I ran up the hill,
Chased cars and felt I didn’t think I had much time, much time, much time.
And up where I’d climbed it felt so pretty.
All the water flowed in from the sea to the city,
And I felt my life, my life, my life.

But I’ve been colder, sitting in my bedroom looking older,
Feeling like I’m underwater, smiling like a lie,
Holding on to it all too tight.

I’ve been hoping I have what it takes to keep rolling
‘Cause I will not stay underwater, I’ll walk outside.
I’ll split the sky, I’ll be alright.
I remember being 17,
Drinking cheap wine sitting on suburban streets,
To the galaxy feeling everything.

We were the cowboys that threw up in taxis.
Feels different being 23, I still throw up but I don’t feel like me.
Now Curtis is working in sales, and I’d say I’ve lost my way a little bit.
Tell all my friends, tell all my friends.

When I’ve been hopeless, standing on the edge and looking over.
When the night sits, heavy his hands on my shoulders.
And somewhere I can see a light on, Maybe there’s always a light on,
Maybe I’ve held on so tight and I just need to cry.
Maybe, life is ten colours on top of each other.

It goes, and it stops, it all comes at once.
It’s grief, love, and time, It’s the seasons gone wild,
A cathedral at night, It’s an ocean of tides.
Tell all my friends, tell all my friends, tell all my friends, tell all my friends I’ll be alright.
And up where I’d climbed it felt so pretty.
All the water flowed in from the sea to the city.

I've never felt so deeply understood by a song.

I remember feeling older when I was 24-25 than I did a decade later. It's just that stage in your life where you think you should be on track and yet you find out everything doesn't just suddenly fall into place magically because you've reached adulthood - and yet you're too old to be a stereotypical reckless youngster and you feel you're wasting your time. This song captures it brilliantly!
