I wrote this song a long time ago but it took on a whole different set of legs when I collaborated with my sister from another mister Emily Chimiak on it. Emily and I have played a lot of music together and I am going to be hyperbolic here but I feel as though that it's always a magical time when it happens. We originally used this song for a project called Soft Layers but we didn't really do anything with the project. I wanted to add this song to this b sides album to show you all what I've been doing for the last 27 years of my life since I first picked up an instrument. Now this song was obviously not written when I was 16 but it's nice to give songs you've been involved with new life and this particular song deserves some fresh air.

Shoegaze ist die Kunst des Dröhnens, doch „Everything Is Alive“ setzt diese Elemente nur sparsam ein. Statt Hall- und Zerr-Sounds aufzutürmen, schäumt die Musik in feinen Bläschen über.
