What did Ball Park Music say about "It's Nice To Be Alive"?
Genius Answer

“I was probably only 20 or 21, and I read The God Delusion, which was really inspiring at the time. I already leaned that way but it solidified some of my thinking at that point.

I really think that book put more of a romantic notion into me, that life is really precious and strange. And I guess in the absence of really knowing what happens in life or fully understanding it you have to make the most of what you do understand. That was what I took away from it.

At first the song didn’t get much of a response from the band or management. It didn’t get a bad response but it wasn’t until we put it together in the studio that we had a moment like, shit, this song’s got some extra magic in it.“ – Sam Cromack in a retrospective interview with Jaxsta
