Rewild 03:01
REWILD MY TONGUE, MY TEARS, MY TOUCH. EVERYTHING IS ALIVE. OUR MOTHER CALLING. TAKE ME HOME. EVERYTHING IS ALIVE.
2.
WE THOUGHT WE WOULD ALWAYS BE GODS, THAT ALL WOULD SUCCUMB AND BOW DOWN TO US. WE THOUGHT WE WERE GODS! BUT WE WERE ALL SO WRONG. (WE WERE SO, SO WRONG.) NOW WE ALL WILL COME BACK TO EARTH. WE THOUGHT WE COULD LIVE ON FOREVER. THAT WE COULD JUST TAKE AND TAKE, TAKE IT ALL. (WE'RE ALL ADDICTS.) BUT WE COME AND GO. THERE'S NOTHING WE CAN DO. A DAY WILL COME FOR EACH OF US TO LEAVE.
3.
Veins 03:12
they creep into my veins. i can feel them vibrate, and ring in my ear. they say, "we've been watching. you belong with us. don't fight it anymore. come to us now."
4.
Solitude 00:46
5.
THOSE WHO HAVE KNOWN ME KNOW I HAVE FOUGHT HARD. I DON'T GIVE UP. TRY ME. I'LL BURN ALL YOUR SHIT WHILE YOU ARE STILL ASLEEP. OH, A BITCH IN GRIEF... YOU CANNOT CONQUER HER, SHE IS DEEP WITHIN YOUR BEING.
6.
Secret Dream 01:23
i have a secret dream where you press my strings, and tighten knots all around me. i think of it when i'm asleep. you fill the holes deep inside me. can't stop feeling the blood growing in me.
7.
Radiant 03:10
all spread out, leys at fingertips. snaking down all your meridians. want limbs on limbs, our skins to touch, cuz i need friction. your mouth is enough. our language fails us again... but i like you close. all i feel is wet. all is buzzing and radiant.

9.
Burn 03:22
the air is turning cold. we can't be so distant. gather all we "own", and let the flames fuck with it. let's burn all of our masters. we don't need them anymore. leave no monuments, just the smell of that smoke. NO MIRRORS NO LIGHTS NO MASTERS NO TIME. (I LOVE TO WATCH IT BURN.)

about

Written over three years of ecological disaster and psychological crisis, "Everything is Alive" is a personal expression of remorse, rage, catharsis, and renewal.

"With a sound that melds the heaviness of doom, the discord of noise rock and the rolling ambience of shoegaze, Mar have created a unique immersive sound that conjures vast soundscapes of the imagination, and on Everything is Alive that soundscape is a forest on fire."
"Despite the occasional ambience of its textures, Everything is Alive is not in any way background music, instead it requires your full attention. Belardinelli’s lyrics are emotional and evocative, and the subtlety of the music definitely benefits from close, repeated listens. There is an overarching sadness to this record that I think will speak to a lot of people’s climate anxiety and all this points to Mar definitely being a band to watch."
