Lyrics:
Last night all black and white
When I was sleeping
I felt shadows and emptiness
Surround me
Just keep telling myself to live my life alive
Like everything else
Just keep on breathing and live
While I’m alive
I’ll live my life
(Colors and the sound)
Saw the way I would die
While I was dreaming
Cold but hearing the sound
That a heart beats
Keep on telling myself
To live my life alive
Like everything else
Just keep on breathing and live
#WhileImAlive #STRFKR #MiracleMile

This band is completely underrated

[@AudreyAudio]

My thoughts exactly. I was into them a few years back and went to their concert back in 2017 i think it was. Time moves so quickly. This music video has me in tears. I never watched their music videos but for my bday recently i picked up 2 of their vinyls and decided to watch some of their music videos today finally. They are so good and no one knows them, and if they do it's just Rawnald. lol. :(

[@BrainEnwrong]

100% accurate. I’ve traveled to several relatively close cities to see them. Blown away every god dammed time.

[@thomasmunden7319]

I'm about to see them on April 16th at a venue where you're pretty close to the band no matter where you are. Can't wait!! Since last September started the best year of shows ever for me as if am getting to it gave seen like 7 of my favorite bands and they are definitely one of that list​@@AudreyAudio

[@AudreyAudio]

@@thomasmunden7319 omg have the best time ever!! I want to live vicariously thru you lolol!

[@itzprowlaz]

i got to see them live and let me tell you it was awesome!!!!

[@Sogonrei]

I was a Funeral Director/Embalmer until my hours were cut, jobs were super hard to get, and had kept working with terrible back pain from that and hiernated discs, and that P.O.T.S. stopped me in 2013 and i miss it so much! This video really is how I would look at each deceased person, each person I would respectfully treat like a family member, a person who had dreams and hope or even sickness and accidents, sudden deaths that cut their life short, but us living can still go through our happy moments like a slideshow. I would treat each person according to their wishes or just know. I would have all types of music, and on a removal back to a FH, or Coroners, I would play their music, or one persons family said please don't let my loved one be in the dark, he was always scared of the dark. I knew that Funeral Home had a rule turn out the lights, once you leave the deceased, so I took my favorite keychain flashlight that had special meaning to me and left it with him. 🔦 I turned it on, and said a prayer, they were a very sweet religious Mexican family at least 27 at the house with all their kids. I said to him now you will be in the light. Nothing to be afraid of. Then I swear I felt his spirit leave happily. 😇🕊💗

[@jimmyfabs78]

This band has been around for quite some time and I'm just now discovering them. So far every song I've listened to is good. They're quickly becoming one of my favorites.

[@thomasmunden7319]

Same thing happened to me a while back. I had known and liked Rawnold, Isabella of Castille, Golden Light and this but I finally just clicked on another song which happened to be Atlantis and that's all I took, I couldn't stop jumping from new song to new song after that. Check out Elderbrook- the same thing just happened to me with them recently. Numb, Closer, Could, and Inner Light are all great and there are far more to discover

[@jimmyfabs78]

I love STRFKR so much but I am literally crying over his younger self rotating throughout the video xD

[@AcePoison]

Making sure I become this cool when I'm an old geezer. Fantastic video for a stellar song.

[@LordCHull]

I didn't really care for the Fault in Our Stars movie, but I am glad these guys got some recognition being featured in the movie. If only in the background it was still awesome hearing them.

[@aurasoular6804]

totally agree!

[@vinylhedgehog5574]

I'm kind of a hipster so I was watching TFIOS to see what all the hype was about but I heard the beginning of this song and I screamed with excitement. The movie is shit, but the music is great!! It is so rare for me to be out in public and just randomly hear a part of an indie song that I know because of my obscure tastes, so I was really excited!

[@Vincisomething]

+Chandler Hull I watched the movie, but I don't remember the song playing :O.

I don't want to be an old man regretting what I could have done. Another amazing song!

[@DarkFallsBright]

I have never seen the clash of musical and cinematic masterpiece have this much passion in my entire life. Such a beautiful meaning with such a unapologetic and original cinematic theme.

[@SuperArdave]

Always liked this song, but had no idea the video was so amusing too.

[@josephstahl3137]

I didn't even know it was from a movie until I started reading comments, I liked the music video so much I watched it several times and fell in love with the song. Now to find this movie!

[@ericchristianson9781]

Such a scary glimpse into the future. Health declined, can't really partake in your passion anymore (dance), wife is dead, house is wrapped up (probably know you don't have much longer to live.) Like the song lyrics tell you, don't forget to live your life while you're alive. Don't look back from your lonely death bed wishing you did more. Do what you truly want, take some chances, and above everything else make sure you have as much fun as you can.

[@manbeerpigs16]

[@AstOnokGaming]

people have been telling me to listen to these guys for years and now thanks tot he power of finals ive found them

[@AssistantLeaflet]

fuck finals. worst way of finding out about them.

[@6godsave6thequeen6]

Or the best. Considering the upbeat sound of the band I think it isn't the worst medicine for the Finals Blues.

[@AssistantLeaflet]

Alexander Turner I mean, if it helps sure. But there are better times ya know?

[@6godsave6thequeen6]

Gideon Lass Of course there are almost always better times to discover great music. But maybe the first commenter does well in his/her finals and has a good memory to go along with this music. Think positive, mate! ;)

Can't wait to see these guys Saturday in Charlottesville,VA! Completely worth the long drive!
