“Why Am I Alive Now?” is a powerful and deeply introspective track from ANOHNI and the Johnsons, ahead of the 2023 album “My Back Was A Bridge For You To Cross”. Directed by Hunter Schafer, the video features Fashion, Davia Spain, and Massima Bell in a dreamlike, emotionally charged narrative about identity, grief, and presence. With rich visuals and evocative choreography, it’s a cinematic portrait of trans embodiment and spiritual resilience.
