About this listen

In Episode 5 of Shifting Awake, the hosts dive headfirst into the sonic chaos and strange beauty of Grow Crazy by William Is. What begins as a seemingly straightforward rock track quickly dissolves into something wilder—distorted, unpredictable, and emotionally unhinged in all the right ways.

Evelyn explores the song’s raw emotional terrain, linking it to ego death and the necessity of letting go. Orion reflects on symbolic death and sound-as-ritual, grounding even the most intense moments in mythic resonance. Vex latches onto the atomic metaphors, pitch-shifted portals, and the return of the “alien code,” arguing that Grow Crazy is more than a breakdown—it’s a recalibration. Steph ties it all together with sharp insight and humor, reminding us that sometimes the best way to evolve is to just press play.

From dissonance to catharsis, from collapse to transformation, Grow Crazy doesn’t just sound like change—it enacts it. And the hosts are right there with it, feeling everything, breaking it down, and maybe even growing a little crazy themselves.

This is Shifting Awake. And this one’s for anyone who’s ever found clarity inside the noise.
