half • alive | Make of It
Half Alive has released a new song! Make of It was released today, and it’s a fantastic song. Made together with Mark of OJIVOLTA, it truly is a bop and will be in the top 10 songs for this year.
Josh Taylor had this to say of the single “…there was one moment of clarity in the writing process one night that felt like the crux to unlock this very personal story of mine, which became Make of It. That moment happened when our producer Mark stared at me during one of our writing sessions & abruptly asked, ‘do you ever get mad? If so, would a half•alive fan who doesn’t speak English be able to tell if you were just from your tone?’. After thinking about the question for a while, I came to realize that there was an anger-sized hole missing in our songs. There were stories that I was restricting myself from writing because I wanted them to be perfectly processed, with happy endings to tie everything together. But sometimes, the unprocessed, unhindered emotion is what the song needs. When that was realized, I turned on my mental faucet of unfiltered anger; 45 minutes later, the song was done.”
“Make of it” is a story in which worlds not only inteconnect but bleed into one another in a messy display of beautiful-humanity. Often, we must drown to land, since to swim, move to heal, & dive to the deepest depths to breathe again.
