The duo finished their high school education at Jacob-Grimm Schule. Clemens played in a jazz quartet known as Flown Tones where he played bass guitar. Philipp was a DJ.
Their first single 'Stolen Dance' was released in 2012, topping the charts in countries including Austria, France, Hungary and Switzerland.
In 2013, they released their self-produced album 'Sadnecessary' that was well received, that included the tracks 'Stolen Dance' and 'Down by the River'. The album peaked at number 14 in Germany, and charted at 17 on the Billboard 200 chart.
The band released their second album 'Blossom' on 17 March 2017. Blossom was inspired by the experience Clemens and Philipp had in the last two years and the two different worlds they've jumped into: touring and being home in their private life with family and friends. Lead by the single 'Cocoon', the album also includes 'Bad Things' featuring Izzy Bizu.
In May 2019 the band announced they were producing their third album, which would be titled 'Mind the Moon', recording it at Ocean Sound Recordings in Ålesund, Norway. Three songs from the album, 'Daydreaming' (feat. Tash Sultana), 'The Game' and 'Fado' were released in the months leading up to the album release on 15 November 2019.
Alive
Milky Chance Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Something we need to carry on
But that is made up past the moon
Fit in the home for our love
Then you would do your thing, that's right
Promise at least I get in steady
All that I want is that you find,
Something that makes you start believing
I felt my love for you this time
Out of sight, I'm feeling so alive
You didn't feel anything at all
After all, makes me feeling small
I felt my love for you this time
Out of sight, I'm feeling so alive
You didn't feel anything at all
After all, makes me feeling small
Plenty of time we need to grow
Let's take the truth and slow it down
There's a lot of love we have to show
Maybe it's something faking out
Many times we were in trouble
I can't deny that I have made some
But in the end there's things to know
But I was stressed, rushing and breathing
I felt my love for you this time
Out of sight, I'm feeling so alive
You didn't feel anything at all
After all, makes me feeling small
I felt my love for you this time
Out of sight, I'm feeling so alive
You didn't feel anything at all
After all, makes me feeling small
The lyrics to Milky Chance's "Alive" speak to the ups and downs of a relationship, and emphasize the importance of communication and patience. The opening lines suggest that the couple may have faced some obstacles in the past, but they are willing to work through them and continue their love story. The phrase "made up past the moon" hints at the idea that the couple's bond transcends time and space. The love they share is bigger than anything that could possibly come between them.
The next verse emphasizes the individuality of the two people in the relationship. While they are committed to each other, they also want to pursue their own passions and goals. The singer urges his partner to be true to herself, promising to always be there to support her. The lines "All that I want is that you find, Something that makes you start believing" suggest that the singer recognizes the importance of personal growth, and wants his partner to find something that truly inspires her.
The chorus brings a sense of empowerment to the song. The singer feels alive in the moments when he realizes how much he loves his partner, and how much they mean to each other. However, he also acknowledges that there have been times when his partner has not reciprocated those feelings. This vulnerability is a recurring theme throughout the song.
The final verse seems to indicate that the couple has overcome some major obstacles together. The lines "Many times we were in trouble, I can't deny that I have made some" suggest that there have been times when one or both partners have made mistakes. But the singer seems to have learned from those experiences, and values the lessons they have taught him. The lines "But in the end there's things to know, But I was stressed, rushing and breathing" imply that despite the challenges, the couple has come out stronger on the other side.

If they saw us to share, it's cool
It's okay if other people see us together
Something we need to carry on
Our relationship needs to keep going
But that is made up past the moon
Our relationship is something beyond this world
Fit in the home for our love
Our love belongs in a special place
Then you would do your thing, that's right
You have your own unique qualities that I appreciate
Promise at least I get in steady
I promise to be there for you and be consistent
All that I want is that you find,
I just want you to discover
Something that makes you start believing
Something that inspires you to believe in yourself
I felt my love for you this time
I felt an even stronger love for you now
Out of sight, I'm feeling so alive
Even when you're not here, my love for you is alive
You didn't feel anything at all
You didn't reciprocate my feelings
After all, makes me feeling small
It hurts me and makes me feel insignificant
Plenty of time we need to grow
We have lots of time to develop and mature
Let's take the truth and slow it down
Let's take our time and be honest with each other
There's a lot of love we have to show
We have so much love to give
Maybe there's something breaking out
Perhaps there's something new and exciting happening
Many times we were in trouble
We had some rough patches in our relationship
I can't deny that I have made some
I admit that I made mistakes
But in the end there's things to know
Despite our challenges, there are still things to learn from our relationship
But I was stressed, rushing and breathing
I was overwhelmed and moving too fast
It makes me feeling small
The situation makes me feel insecure and insignificant
