Atwood Magazine featured the exclusive premiere of Emory Duncan’s “Halifax,” produced by Jamie Mefford and featured on Semicircles and Half Written Songs. The song explores what it takes to let someone in while still making peace with your past.
In the accompanying feature, Emory shares the story behind a song that arrived quickly but took three years to bring into the world. Written after a trip to Montreal in early 2023, “Halifax” became a deeply personal reflection on forgiveness, commitment, and finding a sense of home with another person.
