“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?

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.

This is the era of water 🌊

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

On this day, 2 years ago, I saw the boys live. Time really flies.

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.

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

I've been kinda curious what it'd sound like to have AJR and half•alive make a song together. Maybe someday?

I’ll never understand how half alive keeps releasing songs that make me feel so understood. I resonate w this one sm. Thx guys :)

I’m a child and adolescent therapist, and I personally love when my kiddos start dancing around the office. That’s a good day. 👍🏼

I'm SO excited

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💕

The way the water droplets were flying everywhere when the guy was tap dancing, WOW that was beautiful!

I find myself crying in front of a screen a song that I didn't know I needed until I heard it, thank you

lyrics!
Winter got me feeling down

Reflecting back on it
You were my only friend

But even now i——
Want this love like everyone

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 waitеd
Life isn’t what i made it
My past is what i make of it
Makе 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?

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.

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.
