This week’s ONErpm Hitmaker Alert is Hans Williams’ “All Is Well”. Hans Williams is a twenty year old songwriter from Vermont who uses his music to describe the indescribable: emotions and parts of life that are difficult to express. This is shown specifically in Williams’ 2020 single, “Body On My Shoulders”. This song is about Williams’ tragic experience discovering the body of his floor mate, who had committed suicide. “This song is about the fear and guilt I dealt with after the fact”, Williams explains in an Instagram post. “The completion of this song in a way feels like I’ve let some of that guilt and fear go. I hope it can do the same for anyone dealing with tragedy”.
“All Is Well” also encompasses emotions that Williams is processing from his experience. As a result, Williams is receiving many messages from individuals who connect with the song through a similar experience. In response to these conversations, Williams notes that he feels validated upon hearing that others face similar tragedies and respond in the same way that he has. “All Is Well” is about the period of time before I felt ready to have those conversations – before i realized what real catharsis lied behind the barrier of opening up.”
Following the release of the song, the music video for “All Is Well” is now out on YouTube. You can watch the video here:
