Award winning actor David Duchovny has returned on multiple fronts in 2018. With the reprisal of his role as Fox Mulder on the The X-Files on Jan. 3rd, the multi-talented Duchovny also shared some new tunes. Duchovny's upcoming album Every Third Thought is due for release on Feb. 9 and the alt-rocker released the ethereal single "Half-Life" today (Jan. 22) in promotion of the upcoming LP.

Equipped with blaring riffs, a crooning synth melody, and a gentle acoustic guitar, the sci-fi actor's album mixes love and science, with Duchovny singing subtly about the unconditional love. "Unconditional love decays, only fossilized hearts can break. Every piece is indivisible."

“I find poetry in science," Duchovny told Billboard. "Things like The Heisenberg principle or Schroedinger's cat — things like this. The phrase half life and the fact that it refers to radioactive decay or decay struck me as a poetic and wonderfully ambiguous  place to start a song about life and love.”

Along with the release of the album, Duchovny is set to embark on a short tour across Australia and New Zealand. The tour begins on Feb. 20 in Auckland, NZ and concludes on Mar. 1 in Brisbane, AU.

The song sounds good even with the blaring riffs in the beginning. Especially David's singing sounds great.

David Duchovny Continues Reemergence with New Single ‘Half-Life’

Most probably know brooding nerd David Duchovny from his role as Fox Mulder on the sci-fi thriller “X-Files”.

He was out of the eye of the general public for a couple of years until the show re-premiered in 2016.

Apparently the guy digs science so much he wrote a whole love song inspired by radioactive decay. ‘Half-Life’, the first single off of his upcoming album Every Third Thought comes from the “poetry [he] finds in science” (his words not mine).

Stream David Duchovny – “Half-Life” below:



The lyrical inspiration may come from the Fox Mulder side of Duchovny’s psyche but the distorted guitar intro sounds like it was tailor-made for the chain-smoking, womanizing, lovable douchebag that is Hank Moody.

Hank is the “protagonist” on my current Netflix guilty pleasure, Californication. Yes, that says fornication not fornIAcation. Moody was clearly a role-model for XXXTENTACION (he couldn’t keep his dick in his pants).

The show is actually somewhat autobiographical in nature, as real-life Duchovny had to go to rehab for sex addiction in 2008.



If you don’t believe that ‘Half-Life’ fits the character of Hank Moody, just compare its guitar-heavy intro to Californication’s opening credits.



It’s interesting that Duchovny is clearly drawing on his two most well-known roles to inspire his music. The rough intro and comparably sweet body of the song mirror the development of Moody’s character. The delicate lyrical delivery call to mind images of the quiet but sincere FBI agent Fox Mulder. The heartfelt ‘Half Life’ makes you feel the love that Duchovny clearly has for each character.

Every Third Thought releases on February 8th and Duchovny embarks on a brief tour of New Zealand and Australia on the 22nd.

MAGNET Exclusive: Premiere Of David Duchovny’s “Half Life” Video



David Duchovny was on the road to a very successful life (undergrad at Princeton, master’s degree from Yale, working on his Ph.D.) when he decided to give all that up to become an actor, eventually landing a part in a beer commercial in 1987. Since, Duchovny has had modest success as a thespian (Golden Globe winner for little-seen “cult” show The X-Files, only a handful of Emmy, Screen Actors Guild and Satellite noms, though he didn’t actually win any of them). So, of course, he decided to try his hand at writing novels (both got some good reviews in local rags like the Washington Post and New York Times, where he also made their best-seller list, though only twice). Obviously still trying to find a career he can actually make a living at, Duchovny has reinvented himself as a musician, despite only learning to play guitar a few years ago. He just released sophomore album Every Third Thought (King Baby/GMG) and is currently on tour in Australia. (Guess he’s big down under; maybe they’ve seen his beer commercial.)

Anyway, here at MAGNET, we like to write about struggling unknown artists, so we thought we’d premiere his lyric video for Every Third Thought track “Half Life” and maybe get his name out there a little bit. We asked Duchovny what the song was about, and he responded, “‘Half Life’ came about just thinking about radioactive half lives and how processes in nature always seem to mirror processes of the heart and soul, even down to the language. It’s a song about halves and paradoxes.” Uh, OK, so the dude’s on the smart side. And musically, he’s actually quite good, as well. Hmm, maybe this guy has a shot at some sort of success after all. Judge for yourself by watching the clip for “Half Life” right now.

And remember, kids, the truth is out there: David Duchovny is way cooler than you’ll ever be.
