- half•alive’s album 'Conditions Of A Punk’ out now everywhere.
Steam / download : halfalive.lnk.to/ConditionsOf...
“Make of it” is a story in which worlds not only interconnect but bleed into one another in a messy display of beautiful-humanity. Often, we must drown to land, sink to swim, move to heal, and dive to the deepest depths to breathe again.
When Josh showed me this song in July 2020, I wrote this video treatment right away. Almost too quickly. I didn't understand why so many specific characters and images came out of me upon hearing "MOI" for the first time. As the edit was finalizing, I realized that every aspect of this music video had already been a part of my subconscious for precisely 26 years. It was a wild journey to get this from paper to the internet, but … this is my love letter to those doing anything they can to heal by any means necessary.

LYRICS
winter got me feeling down
next season i’ll come around
reflecting back on it
you were my only friend
you really helped me out
but even now i--
want this love like everyone
want this love like everyone else
we ran aground
i heard it loud
can’t pretend
i ain’t down
didn’t plan
to never land
just never thought
that we could drown
therapy saw me naked
26 years i’ve waited
life isn’t what i made it
my past is what i make of it
make of it
make of it
like these new shoes
i'll break em in
old best friends
i'll pray for ‘em
all my friends
i'll pray for ‘em
lost what i have never held
hardly recognize myself
brought to the deepest end
God help me breath again
tell me have i been alone
all along?

When he says therapy saw him naked I don't think he means showing your pain and burdens of your past to a therapist, but more of showing them to yourself. Acknowledging what you've gone through and what led up to this point is the first step to dealing with it. Once you acknowledge your own pain for what it is, it becomes merely what you decide to make of it.
YES thank you
Perfectly put. I needed to read that right now. Thank you!
oh my god
I finally figured it out now
thank you

CAN'T WAIT FOR THE ALBUM 🧡🙌🏻
album? what did i miss?
@@arichat4038 what clip are you talking about ?
The album gonna be so goodd
When?
@@camilachavez1791 nothing really official. I'm not sure but someone said the band is releasing one next year. Either way I think it's not unreasonable to expect one soon.
MOST UNDERRATED BAND IN HISTORY
Straight facts
FOR SURE
totally agree
AMEN
FAX NO PRINTER
can we all agree that josh being drenched after listening to everyone's problems symbolises empathy??
I have another idea about it too, that maybe it's showing that even the therapist is drowning in the bad too, everyone is going through something.
"I have another idea about it too, that maybe it's showing that even the therapist is drowning in the bad too, everyone is going through something."
This was my reading of this too. Like even therapists can drown,.
As a therapist, I say yes to the second theory AND I think the first theory is probably correct too. In Everything Machine Josh is clearly speaking about codependency, so I think maybe this symbolizes how a person's lack of boundaries in relationships (aka: becoming the "therapist friend") can lead to what we call "compassion fatigue".
can't wait for you guys to get HUGE after the twenty one pilots tour
ME TOO!!!!
SAME
Hello what is the connection of them with twenty one pilots? They are touring together?
@@dixon4138 yeah, they'll be the opening act in tøp's Takeover Tour starting next week
@@jeni1912 HOLY SHI
I really appreciate the inclusion of the director commentary and stuff in the description of each song, it makes the creative process feel so much more transparent and open
exactly!
Damn thanks for pointing that out! I never looked it up/ noticed it, but thats really interesting so thank you :)
Wonder why they removed them?
@@oywiththepoodlesalreadyI never got to see it! Would’ve loved getting to read!
This is the era of water 🌊
WET ERA
Yesss!!!
I’ll never understand how half alive keeps releasing songs that make me feel so understood. I resonate w this one sm. Thx guys :)
Wooah I love the therapy perspective! I imagine that Josh, as well and J tiller and Brett, hear fans stories and hardships and how they've used their music to cope. Thanks for continuing to make music and articulate themes in my life I haven't been able to describe💕
I’m a child and adolescent therapist, and I personally love when my kiddos start dancing around the office. That’s a good day. 👍🏼
Been here since 2017 and will not move a muscle. I love this band so much and the music they make. Had the privilege to meet them a couple times and see them live twice, can’t wait to see them many more times. Great things to come boys
Same!
I'm SO excited
I think this may be the *BREAKFAST* of this album... and considering that's my favorite h•a song and one of my favorite songs of all time, there's really no higher praise I can give it. What a personally touching song.
Edit: I ended up loving *Move Me,* *Hot Tea,* and *Back Around* even more, but this song still holds a special place in my heart.
Yes! I love BREAKFAST!!!
BREAKFAST is easily my favorite song by them, I still am not sure about Make of It yet because honestly I’m into slower stuff. I really liked Time2 though! I kinda saw that as an evolution of BREAKFAST. What I definitely hope they do is something in the vain of creature, something that could basically be a worship song.
I'm waiting for another Creatures or Runaway but these songs are 🔥
It sounds more like TrusT or creature imo
RUNAWAY FOR ME
The way the water droplets were flying everywhere when the guy was tap dancing, WOW that was beautiful!
On this day, 2 years ago, I saw the boys live. Time really flies.
i can imagine it was awesome! i wish id get to see them once too
@@ricepops6222 it was amazing! They had dance choreography on stage and everything. Love love loved seeing “creature” especially. Favorite song ever. : )
I find myself crying in front of a screen a song that I didn't know I needed until I heard it, thank you
I really want a full acoustic of this song omg it’s so good
lyrics!
Winter got me feeling down
Next season i’ll come around
Reflecting back on it

Can’t pretend
I ain’t down
Didn’t plan
To never land
Just never thought
That we could drown
Therapy saw me naked

Life isn’t what i made it

Makе of it

Old best friends
I'll pray for ‘em
All my friends
I'll pray for ‘em
Lost what i have never held
Hardly recognize myself
Brought to the deepest end
God help me breath again
Tell me have i been alone
All along?
I've been kinda curious what it'd sound like to have AJR and half•alive make a song together. Maybe someday?
maybe
maybe
maybe
maybe
maybe
You guys.....are just pure,clear talent. there's not even one song which I can relate to myself and vibe to.keep up the good work man your music helps us a lot
freakin' hyped! I love this band soo much
and that intro text ... WOW!!!!
Sir we are reaching hype levels of unstable proportion!
I love the way they included the entire problem solving process in therapy with something as personal and inspiring as dance. The lyrics are sensational, i really loved everything.
That last scene where the guy falls back into the water is so PERFECT 🥲✨✨
I have a giant connection to this band bc “Now, Not Yet” was with me in the perfect time and the lyrics came alive with my life and now this era is aaaaaaaaa everything is coming together again ❤️
I felt so alive at their concert last night at the Lincoln theater. There music has gotten me through hard years of my life. I pray for them to get heard by the ones that need it most.
The choreography in all these videos 💗😍
Half alive is a band so good that it almost ALMOST makes me want to visit LA.
I started my first semester of college, and y’all’s music has been more important than ever for me. I’m a perfectionist to a fault, and I’ve had to remind myself that it’s ok to not be perfect after a 300 mile move and having my first real classes in 2 years. Your music is the closest thing to therapy for me right now, and I cannot express enough how grateful I am for it.
aight thinking time. So i feel like this was almost a very late part2 for Aawake at Night. both songs' lyrics (from my assumptions) are basically about someone worrying for themself and asking God why, why they can't understand their being, why they can't do while not facing consequences and hurting others. They are songs about cofused people with cofused thoughts. But now (referring to this song as the present)the speaker from Aawake at Night has found love and some sense of their footing, or so they believe. They're realising that growing up and loving isn't all they thought itd be. Both songs use drowning to describe their helplessness ("And I've been drowning in this restless mind", "Brought to the deepest end God, help me breathe again"). In Aawake at Night, the person longs for something more than dreaming for things to get better, and in Make Of It this person had faced life, and still knows that they decide what they want it to be. They want help their friends and lover and all the in-betweens because they understand the Bliss of their newfound freedom. They still carry their flaws, but they don't let those problems drench their clothes and pull them back down underwater. they manage them and live life all the while.
Ik this is mad messy but rlly felt the need to get this all down somewhere. there isn't some grand plot i intended on portraying with this, but i did want to point out the bridges and similarities between these two songs.
i never even considered it that way. what a brilliant viewpoint!
@@scriptedbyelo ty mate!
it’s painful how underrated this is
The way the music blends with the dancing so well is insane this is beautiful
I’ve had this song on loop since it came out. And Ian Eastwood! So cool to see him.
This song feels like floating in space and at the same time being surrounded by a group of people you're very fond of. It feels like home ❤️
Really love this descriptor. That’s how it makes me feel too!
CAN WE TALK AB THE DANCERSS??? GOSH THEY ARE SO GOODD
Half Alive is killing it!
looking forward to some ✨ tap action ✨
edit: it did not disappoint. any of it 🤯
Listened to a bit of half alive a couple years back and honestly forgot about them for a bit. Just went to the TOP show on Saturday and I got reminded of just how much I love their music. This song especially speaks out to me and my present mental and emotional state. I'm so happy I found them again.
i gasped when I saw Ian Eastwood and gasped again when I saw Joy Brown, even if it was just for a second there. Beautiful concept, profound message, I can't wait for the album!
Such a good song and I can really relate to the message. The past is what you make of it
so excited
What a message, i really needed a song like this one. Thank you so much, kisses from Brazil
can you share your interpretation?
I am a very calm and collected person, but the only thing that can consistently get me excited is the opening of this song and watching this band live
Comes out on my birthday! what a present 🥳
Oooh! Happy birthday!
happy birthday
Happy bday mate
happy birthday!!
Happy birthday.
They performed this song a week ago at their Salt Lake City concert. It was really fun to dance to. Great song and great show
I genuinely think that every song they make is amazing.
saw this performed live the other day!! :)
is it any good?
Just saw it tonight! This one went hard!
@@ezra190 Definitely!! Especially like the chorus
Same, it was awesome!!!
At big gig?? I heard it there and was SO EXCITED to see it dropped
the day you guys come back to sydney australia and i get to listen to you live again is the day i would be truly happy once more
one minute of silence for those who have not found this masterpiece of a band yet
Every music video I've seen from this band is a complete work of art that moves my soul
If this music video was a series or a short film I would watch the hell out of it.
Reminds me of my best friend. She saved me from one of the darkest places I've ever been in. She's the reason I have my wonderful friend group today and I could not be more thankful to her.
She was the catalyst in my life - it's her fault that I'm able to love myself again.
I look forward to see your outfits ✨ 👌🏻
This made me want to jump on top of my dining table and just dance. Can't wait for the new album holy crap!!!
this song is absolutely addictive to dance to --> thrashing around in my bedroom to this song on repeat
I cannot describe how much your songs resonate with me. What I love in art is seeing somebody express the same feelings I have in a way I cannot. And your music gives me that, every. time. ❤️
here for it
Saw this performance live in SLC a few days ago and have been anticipating for its release!!! Soooo good and so amazing live with the JA collective boys
I saw these guys live in 2018 in London on a small stage and was blown away by their stage presence as well as all the choreography involved in their setlist. Watching them grow over the past 3 years warms my heart and I hope everyone who sees them live in these larger venues falls in love with them! This video and the song (like every other) are beautiful 🧡
Beautiful
love how they've expanded their typical styles into using more actors and different kinds of sets!
I reallly can't put into worlds how this song makes me feel.
From Everything we have gotten this year from every artist, the most im genuienly excited about is this album
I have so many bad stuff in my life: job issues, lack of knowledge, friend zone...
But this song... it keeps my soul alive.
Thanks a lot, guys, thanks a lot.
Y’all touched my heart once again
So excited :D I have the day off from school coincidentally!
Yet another bop from half alive
This is beautiful! Haven't heard something as good in MONTHS
This song found me at exactly the right time.
seriously love how half alive has grown all the osngs are SO GOOD AND THE NEW ONES??? PLS.
honestly this is one of your best songs yet i need the album NOW
AAAHHH it’s amazing as always! Your music continues to be ❤️✨
This is very unique. I had never heard this band before, I'll look into more now.
I was already sold by more half alive content but adding Ian Eastwood on top of that made my whole week
Siiiiiii, alfin otra obra maestra
half alive is free therapy

This band makes such good songs, I don't understand how their so underrated
I love the dancing in their videos. They are on my concert list for sure sure🥰
'all my friends I'll pray for em'

Low key heard you guys at the Takeover tour, downloaded the setlist, and officially finished my first full mile run since the pandemic on this song.

THEY WERE ACTUALLY INCREDIBLE
I love every bit of this! Sometimes to stand up we have to fall down but when we get up we are stronger for it! Thank H*A, this is an amazing song and video!!
