Alternatywno-pop-rockowa formacja The Shins zaprezentowała nowy, wymagający sporego nakładu pracy teledysk.
Nowe wideo The Shins powstało do energicznego nagrania “Half a Million”. Za reżyserię odpowiadają Lamar + Nik. Do realizacji niezwykłego obrazka wykorzystano 5566 naklejek i techniki animacji poklatkowej.
Utwór “Half a Million” promuje album “Heartworms”, który ukazał się w marcu 2017 roku.
Największym sukcesem działającej od 1996 roku kapeli The Shins był trzeci album “Wincing the Night Away” (2007), który dotarł do 2. miejsca Billboard 200 i zdobył nominację do Grammy.
Poprzedni longplay zespołu dowodzonego przez Jamesa Mercera (także z Broken Bells) to “Port of Morrow” z 2012 roku.
W 2016 roku The Shins nagrali cover utworu The Beatles “The Word” na potrzeby animowanego serialu dla dzieci “Beat Bugs”.

THE SHINS – HALF A MILLION
Tekst piosenki
The Shins – Half a Million
[Verse 1]
I make myself a promise
Then break it every night
I’m feeling loose and life don’t make no sense
I use my brains to build a fence
‘Round the claim I stake
I take the drugs but the drugs won’t take
[Verse 2]
I took a pledge to grow up
Then drank enough to make me throw up
On all my dearly disappointed friends
I’m just too lazy to make amends
With you anyway
That’s why the pattern still remains
[Chorus]
There’s half a million things that I’m supposed to be
A shelter in the nighttime
A punk running free
And if it gets too deep
I reach for my guitar
And if I try hard
[Post-Chorus]
I find something I can really drop into
And everything that was is just a thing that I can sing
Everything is something next to nothing
As crazy as it seems, you give it up and you are free
[Verse 2]
Another candle to blow out
New set of dark thoughts to shut out
And everybody’s got their remedies
But nothing works like chemistry
So raise a toast
No more sipping from the fire hose
[Chorus]
There’s half a million things that I’m supposed to be
A shelter in the nighttime
A punk running free
And if it gets too deep
I reach for my guitar
And if I try hard
[Post-Chorus]
I find something I can really drop into
And everything that was is just a thing that I can sing
Everything is something next to nothing
As crazy as it seems, you give it up and you are free
[Bridge]
There’s half a million things that you’re supposed to be
A virgin in the moonlight
A freak on the scene
And if it gets too deep
You reach for your guitar
And if you try hard
[Chorus]
There’s half a million things that I’m supposed to be
A shelter in the nighttime
A punk running free
And if it gets too deep
I reach for my guitar
And if I try hard
[Outro]
There’s half a million things that I’m supposed to be
A shelter in the nighttime
A punk running free
And if it gets too deep
I reach for my guitar
And if I try hard
