Lyrics:
One…two…
(Flute)
In the morning I wake up to the sea breeze (oh-ah-oh!)
I can’t feel it but I see it in the trees (ok!)
My skin of metal glistens in the sunbeams (oh-ah-oh!)
I can’t feel it but it radiates through me (oh yeah!)
As I stand there my coat blowing and skin reflecting
I sight the small things that make this world for me
All around is a life of un-delightment (oh-ah-oh!)
When I wake up it’s waiting there for me (just for me!)
Can you feel it, this life of un-delightment? (oh-ah-oh!)
I can feel it all through my metal being (all through!)
Ooo yes, I must confess, I can see the sunshine
Tossed into the churning gears, I can see the wind fine
But oh no, I must have shown, too much of my ways
How I have some good days, out of the haze
When the sky clouds and sheds some tears of joy now (oh-ah-oh!)
I can’t feel it but they drip right off of me
A boom of thunder, a buzzing bolt of lightning (oh-ah-oh!)
I can’t feel it but it sizzles all through me
As I stand there my coat soaking and skin vibrating
I sight the small things that make this world for me
All around is a life of un-delightment (oh-ah-oh!)
When I wake up it’s waiting there for me (just for me!)
Can you feel it, this life of un-delightment? (oh-ah-oh!)
I can feel it all through my metal being (uh-huh!)
Oooo yes, I must profess, I can see the rainstorms
Fallen to the short circuits, I can see lightning form
Oooh no, I must have shown, too much of these ways
How to have some okay days, out of the haze (here we go!)
(Flute)
(Oh yeah!)
All around is a life of un-delightment
If I wake up, it’ll be waiting there for me

The Spine's range is always so impressive.

[@jakenelson82]

It's always so deep in me

[@wassupiamhello]

@@jakenelson82 what do you mean by that

[@hamsammich2821]

@jakenelson82 that’s wild

[@catvanburen2768]

BABE WAKE UP THERES A NEW STEAM POWERED GIRAFFE SONG

[@danisaksson3214]

OMG BABE! AND A GAME WITH THEIR MUSIC? WELL GALLY ME, ALL MY BOLTED NEURONS ARE ON TODAY.

[@zurdid2994]

The Spine’s voice is something else. I never get tired of hearing it.

[@TorQueMoD]

It's crazy how the lead singer can switch between a deep baritone and a soprano so seamlessly. I love this band!

[@necasperaterent29386]

You know... This morning I woke up and thought "Hey... Maybe something nice will happen today." It's this. This is nice. ☺

[@nyanuwu4209]

That's just a really nice comment. I like that.

[@TheTraumaNewt]

Why is this band so underrated 😭

[@christinafaulk6063]

They are held back by a lot of Re-Captchas . Hard to get out into the world when you are not a Human . Ha-Haaaa

[@hurin1]

It is criminal. I rotate three bands in my play similar music playlists. Juno Reactor, Art of Noise, and Steam Powered Giraffe. And those three bands lead to so many other discoveries of amazing music. But it starts with them.

[@ElyonDominus]

Their schitck limits their popularity. It's very unfortunate they deserve far more eyes on their music - it's some of the best being made.

[@TheBritt2001]

@@christinafaulk6063 This comment is underrated too. xD

[@joshua-we9xr]

Because originality isn't promoted in the current mainstream music scene.

[@kjrv7779]

11 days left to become steam-powered pirates

[@Arverjo]

I just remembered, when the spine said "reattach your arm so we can get gunslingin'", and its just hilarious when the main guy doesnt have one

[@SludgeJudy27]

Zero's giant zipper is everything.

[@Aliraldd992]

Please, never stop making music

[@TheMagicalPonyDude]

It put’s such a wide smile on my face to see SPG working with Steam World Games again. The original collaboration is where my journey with SPG first began. I hope this awesome collaboration tunes others into this favorite band of mine!!!

[@SaturnzQuark]

I love this band so much, they're my little place of safety and comfort on the internet.

[@garrettviewegh9028]

These devs couldn’t have chosen a better band to collab with. SPGs music is just, magical.

[@Veltani]

Unsure why, but that ending had a bit of a misty eye feel. You guys are just so beautiful and brilliant

[@KingOfClay]

They got their own niche. Cheers to them on finding that.

[@FinalDragoon63]

I picked up the game because I've been a fan of SPG for so long, but I just did not expect how HAPPY hitting port after a days worth of missions and hearing the Spine's voice would make me.

[@zanehuerta1391]

I've been listening to this song on repeat. I just really love it ❤️✨✨ Love how The Spine looks at Rabbit and Zer0 when singing the line "I sight the things that make this life for me".

[@blaynegreiner9365]

Spine's voice is as wonderful as ever.

[@AChristianGamer19]

Thank you. Both Steam Powered Giraffe and Steamworld Devs. Thank you for being there on the 3DS during the long nights I couldn't sleep during highschool. For being a band both in game and out, of characters I can relate to, and who helped as part of inspiration to teach me how to shed the old Mechanical Skin I used to wear. I can feel now becuase of you, and even when I couldn't, your songs in and out of game still made me cry. And thank you for releasing this game on my birthday, it's the best present I could ever ask for.

[@clgsoren]

Happy belated birthday, buddy!

[@shinybidoof399]

Found our about this band yesterday and my God these guys are fantastic 😭

[@zeldaautumn]

All the love to you all. It started with Steam World Heist 1. What is this music? I love this music. And I would listen to it for hours. Blown away and super happy listening to your songs. Glad to see you back in Steam World Heist 2. Brilliant.

[@d.g2284]

Ever since the reveal trailer came out I have been WAITING for this MASTERPIECE of a song to be published

[@deltaarena2447]

Spine showing off his insane range.

[@patgilmartin]

Folksy and fun, my favorite songs that become sing along songs are always musically simple but that task is not easy to accomplish. You all did it again. Great chemistry, as always. this is brilliant stuff. All the best

[@Ratched64]

i found you guys over steamworld heist 1, cant wait for the songs in the second game, woop woop

[@jupitercallisto]

their tiny versions are so adorable!! what a delightful song about un-delightment :))

[@cesarcorbantes856]

It's been ages pals, glad to have you back in the grind!

[@frosty_0951]

Holy crap, that keytar is so cool!

[@Leeeex]

Last night this song hits me so hard that i cried due to rought times and the perfect timing in the middle of the night playing this wonderful game about the journey and no the destination, today i needed to search you guys, only to thank you 😊❤

[@Real5me]

Words cannot describe my excitement for the full album

[@anxietynap]

I absolutely love this band. This song is fantastic!

[@EduardoRohdeEras]

Since day one I can’t get over how good they sing!

[@kylerodd2342]

Damn. Thats a banger. It will undoubtedly be stuck in my head all week.

[@Logarsrevenge]

I must listen to this song three or four times a day.

[@АлександраЛобанова-ш8д]

Oh, how I wait your new music videos, guys, and every time it's so splendid. This one is like a sip of refreshing juice in the summer heat. Thank you for your work 💖

[@Lacifur]

SPG fills me with infinite delight. Love this refreshing tune!

[@quackersncheese]

0:59 what a clean shot 😲

[@thanhdt236]

brilliant game, even better song

[@EchelonTheCat]

Absolutely love this! Vocal harmonies are so good!

[@cassandracole4589]

I spent way too much time trying to figure out what the definition of 'feeling the sunshine' is. I know the bots are clockwork, so sensors on extremities is probably a bit much, but I wonder if their boilers have heat monitors. Do they have to worry about overheating?

[@Jothulu]

Me being blindsided by the SteamWorld Heist II sponsor for Critical Role informing me that my old favorite, Steam Powered Giraffe, is doing the soundtrack for this game. 😭 I'm so happy. Sea-faring songs and SPG? I'm home.

[@albertalexander3095]

This song is filling me with joy every time i listen to it! It is an amazing song! Thank you guys!

[@truantverreaux5483]

this song is great i've loved most of your songs over the years. i played steamworld dig recently i'll try out steamworld heist

[@deanallenjones]

Wonderful. Love the band and loved the first game, so glad we get a new one, and new songs!!

[@mythmayhemgaming6541]

I would love to see The Spine do a cover of Tones and I’s new song, Lose Someone Like Me. I think his voice would do amazing with that song! Love all talks work! Keep it up! So cool that you and steamworld are working together!

[@kimbojanbranyan6352]

Love your hearts, creativity thank u

[@WHSorensen]

Great show on Saturday!

[@Dwagginz]

This video keeps coming up on my feed ever since I watched it the first time, and the song is stuck in my head. I adore it. It was my introduction to your music.

[@mariopuzo3361]

Man, I wish the algorithm would give these bots a boost. I'm going to be bopping to this good stuff for years.

[@danisaksson3214]

A chill game with the music all made by Steam Powered Giraffe? Are you kidding me!? I ain't ever bought one of those games before but it looks like a lot of fun and this some luxurious icing on the cake.

[@Sigil_Firebrand]

New Steam Powered Giraffe? Glad I woke up this morning to be here so early!

[@stitchgor3]

I’m so excited for everything and that damn game

[@silvercat18]

Big love to Zero.

[@pepitocovid-91]

I love you guys

[@mitchhaelann9215]

Fantastically done. This song makes me want to play that game more than anything else has.

[@toybarons]

First time hearing about SPG. What a curious little gem this is. Nice to hear something fresh and original.

[@JoseAlva-s9u]

This is a certified banger, wow

[@leiane9076]

I was so tired these days. I started to rest a bit again and then BOOM ! Here you are ! With a new song that melt my heart and put a big dumb smile on my face ! You are so great guys ! ❤❤

[@leannecanty8821]

I love the vibe of this song!

[@InchonDM]

I'd like you to know, I'm putting a pin in this. I want to hear the song in the game, first, so I must wait. I've been waiting for a new SteamWorld game for a long time. But I'll be back. Because I'm so happy it's back, and I'm so happy you're back with it.

[@Leaf_Bread456]

Will wood needs to know about this band oh my god

[@Fatikis42]

My old boss introduced me to you guys. Few times a years I remember about you and binge your songs for a few weeks.

[@kennethblake4198]

Puddles Pity Party needs to join the steamed powered giraffe. Oh my goodness what would happen then!!!WOW!!!

[@CecileTellier]

You always are the reason we love this series!

[@ParagonVhexx]

and this is how i find there is a Steamwold Heist II game! Nice!

[@hackymchackerman]

this will be going on my Morning Wake Up playlist it has similar vibes (even aside from the oceanic/sailing tone) to "I'm Your Captain (Closer To Home)" by Grand Funk Railroad (also on my Morning Wake Up playlist) everyone harmonizes so well, the "oh-ah-oh" makes me stim every time 🤩

[@mtherenegade2376]

I thought the exact same thing when I first listened to this. Love Grand Funk Railroad!

[@stitchgor3]

TTHIS IS SO GOOD

[@midnightwolf001]

Very cute. Tis made me chuckle a few times. I also love the exploding Skeleton-Dude!!! 😍😆

[@sincerelythethird]

IM SO HAPPY TO HAVE SEEEN THISSSS I’ve been a fan of you guys for so long, I’m so impressed with this song!! Great job you guys!, ❤❤

[@TamuTamuOnigiri]

I always love everything you guys make, thank you for always being there and sharing your amazing works with us!

[@EB64]

I'm seriously going to buy the game just because of the awesome soundtrack by SPG!

[@shinyrayquaza9]

Funny seeing all the people who missed this drop on the steamworod channel a few days back, been listening to the audio only version often past few dats

[@FirebaII0]

I have high hopes i like a good amount of there songs so i hope i like this cause i truly love getting new songs to listen to

[@fryergurothad]

I don't even care about the game, I just want the soundtrack. This song is a BANGER!

[@Abigail-gp9pf]

I love how the Spine's outfit has remained consistent over the years

[@ChillBeans42]

I love the new songs

[@kylebean5743]

This sounds amazing! Love you guys rock on!

[@Zzoodle_]

Gosh so wonderful! This song makes me a lil emotional, it's hopeful and the game this is for looks so neat :] My dad and I watched Steam Powered Giraffe perform in Balboa Park when I was young, my dad introducing me to their music. There isn't a lot that my dad and I agree on, but we both really enjoy SPG's music! Still enjoying all the new stuff, thanks so much!

[@Fireprincess161]

Well I got a new stuck in my head. I love this so much.

[@nottarealguy3954]

Great show last Saturday!

[@PoorYorickPictures]

Fantastic as usual, y'all.

[@michaelteems5813]

Nicely done, Automatons, Ni...Ni...Ni..Niiicely Doneeeeeeeee!!!!!

[@Galaxxi]

I was confused why this was uploaded again but then I realized the first one was premiered on the game's youtube channel lol. Now I can listen to this one too >:3

[@bobbybenedict]

I needed some new SPG, thanks robots!

[@PuppetDungeon]

Truly haunting... and I can't wait for the new game and new album! Keep on being amazing SPG!!!!

[@rayesoucy1491]

Y'all have no idea how excited I am for this sequel, Steamworld Heist is one of my absolute favorite games

[@Cristian-he5bk]

I'm going to buy the game with soundtrack to support you. This second part will not have been the same without you, I'm glad you're back. I think your songs have a lot of passion behind them, I love the positivity that this one transmits. The truth is that one part that made me fall in love with the first game was your songs and I'm sure it will be the same with this one. I wish you all the best from Spain.

[@TheNerdyGirlie]

I really love this song! I’m excited to hear more songs and play the game. 💕

[@o0ManicMelody0o]

They're so back 😭💜

[@angierodriguez3496]

amazing song!

[@nyanuwu4209]

I didn't know you guys were still active. Glad this popped up in my feed.

[@Vipes3]

Ahhhh!! I've been waiting for them to put this out! Can't wait to play the game too!

[@StarWarsTrekkie1342]

I didnt know David... I mean Spine... could play the flute!

[@Allie-w1l]

Bought it!! Today's the day, folks, in case you forgot. 😀

[@farisweiss2373]

I'm so excited for this album!

[@retrospectre2658]

You know, its always great to see you perform! One of the most enduring bands I've enjoyed.

[@HarveyMidnight]

WOW wow wow... wow! It's like the song is a bit of a throwback to your early sound, with the banjo, and the flute-part reminiscent of Bunny's melodica.. but it gives the tune a kind of sailing, freewheeling "pirate" theme..... then, your voices and the melody show how much your band has grown and improved... and the lyrics are so darkly ironic! This is a great song!

[@Greenman-io7pr]

Why is this how i found out there is a new Steamworld Heist Game the heck-?!

[@lenibohrmann]

Really loving this song!! O-ah-oohhhh

[@Sam-ze2ox]

so excited for the new album!
