ok to be not ok

"ok to be not ok" marks Our Shame's first single in two years, released in 2024. This electrifying rock anthem draws inspiration from witnessing a friend's self-harm, with the blood flowing down their arm serving as a stark reminder. The song is a heartfelt accompaniment, delivering the comforting message, "It’s ok to be not ok!" The opening sound of ice cubes pays homage to the classic film "Old Fox," where the protagonist drinks ice water to suppress his high sensitivity and empathy. The entire track pulses with lively drum beats and synth bass, reminiscent of a video game level-up. Its vibrant sonic palette evokes the myriad colors of psychiatric medications. 《ok to be not ok》是凹與山 2024 睽違兩年的首支單曲。染色的電氣搖滾，靈感來自目睹朋友自殘，手臂上流淌的血液，而對朋友呼告 “It’s ok to be not ok!” 的陪伴之作。 開頭的冰塊聲，致敬經典電影《老狐狸（Old Fox）》 當中主角為了泯滅自己的同理心，喝下冰水，試圖抑制高敏感人格的場景。整首歌充滿跳動的鼓點、合成器貝斯，宛如電玩遊戲破關。 單曲視覺將團員凍結在冰塊裡，象徵服藥後動彈不得的腦內世界。凹與山將帶著這首單曲征戰亞洲、歐洲等音樂祭。
