A dynamic track perfectly suited to close the album.

Strictly speaking, it’s a cover of Howard Tate’s song, but Janis, with her innate vocal power, completely makes it her own.

The Japanese title, “Love While You’re Alive,” grows more heartbreaking the more you know the circumstances, yet it succinctly captures the life of a woman who lived fast and burned bright.

From her album “JANIS,” let’s take a look at “Half Moon.” This song compares the presence that brings her happiness to various things—specifically mountains, clouds, and the half moon—to convey its greatness.

At first listen, the lyrics feel fresh and breezy, but there’s actually another side to them.

That’s because “Half Moon,” which is also the title, can refer to a certain item as well.
