Still feel. by half•alive
Released on August 3, 2018.
Fun fact: “still feel.” was born from a 50 song project. Three years ago I had challenged myself to in hopes of improving my skill as a songwriter; those sessions and songs would eventually become the foundation of half•alive. I wrote this track during a period of my life when I felt very removed from myself. I started getting used to this ‘floaty’ feeling, not being grounded in anything and consequently not being the person I was meant to be at that time. The ‘floaty-ness’ lent itself to the concept of being without gravity and the metaphors of outer space. Through the lyrics of the song we explore the theme of hope inside hopelessness and finding purpose and passion despite feeling unrooted." –Joshua Taylor (lead singer of half•alive)
