Music: Alex Saint Ivy - That's Living

Band Page: https://www.instagram.com/alexsaintivy/

Alex Saint Ivy is a UK-based indie folk power pop artist. His songwriting is inspired by classic American musicians like Tom Petty, Billy Joel, and Bruce Springsteen, combined with more contemporary influences. He describes his music as often focusing on the little details of everyday life to explore bigger, sometimes difficult, themes. The song's lyrics reflect on the various stages and expectations in life, such as getting a job, buying a car, and starting a family. It seems to explore a sense of questioning whether these traditional milestones truly equate to "living" and touches upon feelings of time passing and wondering what happened to one's aspirations. The song presents a somewhat wry and observant take on the common experiences of adulthood.
