The empowering words in Australian singer and songwriter Sia's new "Alive" lyric video, where a group of masked artists sort of paint the town black.
The song's motivating lyrics take on a militant color painted sharply on walls and sidewalks, and in the direction to the end, as the battering power ballad explodes, the words are crossed with images like a grasp 99 Percent fist, a fighter's kicking leg and a dog barking, "Alive."
Appropriate for Sia's condition of being anonymous, the crew spends the video by moving hurriedly with short, quick steps around an empty city with their faces covered and their haircuts angled, dyed half-black, half-blonde like Sia.
The singer's "Alive" lyric video was co-written by rising singer-songwriter Tobias Jesso Jr. and British singer and songwriter Adele - for whom the song was at first meant. But reportedly, Adele, who graduated from the BRIT School for Performing Arts and Technology in 2006, declined the track for her long-awaited new album.
While the new lyric video of "Alive" still uncovers the melodramatic yearning of Adele's best songs, Sia and Jesse Shatkin (who also collaborated on the track "Chandelier"), made changes to the track to make a bright, outsized pop monstrous creature.
However, the song "Alive" is a fitting first taste of the new album of Sia - This Is Acting, which will be made up of tracks that the Australian singer initially wrote for other performers, including American singer-songwriter, and actress - Beyoncé and the 'Bitch Better Have My Money' hitmaker - Rihanna.
Sia stated, "I'm calling the album This Is Acting for the reason that, they are tracks I was writing for other artists, so I didn't go into it thinking, 'This is something I would say.'" "It's more like play-acting. It's entertaining."
