Society of Beggars share stirring tour visuals in new ‘Hummingbirds’ video
Melbourne’s SOCIETY OF BEGGARS have released the official music video for ‘Hummingbirds’, the fifth visual chapter from their acclaimed debut album ‘Levitator’, which arrived in November 2024.
The video stitches together vivid in-studio moments and blistering footage from the band’s Levitator Tour, a five-city run across Australia that captured their raw, cathartic energy onstage. Matching the track’s nostalgia-soaked punk rock and psychedelic flourishes, the visual crescendos into a euphoric, kaleidoscopic finale.
Vocalist Yianni calls the video “a love letter to the rock ‘n’ roll life,” capturing the uncanny sense of clarity that emerges from the chaos of life on the road.
Critics have championed the track for its emotional punch and sonic ambition. Beat Magazine praised “Hummingbirds” as “upbeat yet emotionally charged,” spotlighting the lyric “We’re two broken mirrors waiting to let in the sunlight and the rain” as central to the record’s theme of duality — hope found in the wreckage. Buffablog NY hailed its “buzz saw lead synth noise cutting through your speakers like a hot knife through butter.”
