Moodring have unveiled emotional single ‘Half-Life’, written following frontman Hunter Young’s life-changing medical diagnosis.

The incredibly personal track addresses the many changes that have happened since the diagnosis, both in Hunter’s own life and in the configuration of Moodring.

With the frontman now unable to actively tour, the project has morphed into a malleable concept, working with different collaborators and operating outside of boundaries.

Speaking on ‘Half-Life’, Hunter has shared:

“‘Half-Life’ was one of the first songs written after I received a life-changing medical diagnosis and was forced to grieve losing the person that I thought I was and had identified as for most of my sentient life. It was a devastating blow to an already-tarnished nervous system. This song and sub-sequential songs were my way of coping and writing an obituary for the person I lost in that doctor’s office.”

He continues:

“But when looking at ‘Half-Life’ through a broader lens, I believe anyone who’s ever been forced to face realities or truths they cannot change can relate in ways that weren’t the original intention.”
