Finding HopeBEHIND THE VISUALS: House on Fire
Posted on June 9, 2023
It’s now been several weeks since I released my new single, ‘House on Fire,’ accompanied by various different pictures and videos. There was the cover art for the single. . .
. . . the Instagram story content . . .
. . . and the lyric video for the song. . .
I thought that it might be fun to share the behind the scenes of making all of those things so I made a video where I talked about each part. . .
I hope this has been interesting and enjoyable. For a song without a traditional music video, there was quite a lot of video content to make and it was both a series of cool experiences and good fun. I often struggle with the visual aspect of releasing music – I think my brain is just more comfortable working with sound than visual imagery – so to feel so pleased with the result is really satisfying. It makes me feel a little more confident in creating the visuals for whatever comes next.
EDIT: You can now see the bloopers of making this video, where I struggled with all forms of transportation, repeatedly forgot what I was saying, and stuck my tongue out about a million times! Enjoy! (x)
House on Fire (Lyric Video) – Out Now!
Posted on May 19, 2023
And the lyric video for ‘House on Fire‘ is out and available to watch on YouTube!
My best friend and frequent creative partner, Richard Marc when he’s making music and Richard Sanderson Photography when he’s working visually – photography, videography, and so on – made this video and it’s cooler than I could’ve ever imagined. I love the simplicity of it, the movement of the flame, and the way the lyrics burn like the dying embers of a fire. I love it and I think he’s done a fantastic job.
I’m gonna put together a behind-the-scenes of filming all of the visuals for this song because it’s been a weird, fun process, with some strange shenanigans that I never would’ve experienced had I not been making stuff for this song. But then I really should’ve known what I was in for when I decided to release a song called ‘House on Fire.’
BEHIND THE SONG: House on Fire
Posted on May 5, 2023
Today I posted a new video on Youtube, talking about the inspiration and process behind the writing of my newest single, ‘House on Fire.’ I posted it on all of my social media accounts but I also wanted to post it here because I put so much of myself into this song. Both my initial inspiration for the song and the interpretation that has evolved over time mean so much to me and it means a lot to me to share it all in more detail. I just felt like you guys might connect with these stories, as well as the song.
If you haven’t listened to the song yet, you can find it here and I’ll be releasing more stuff soon. I hope you like the song, I hope it makes you feel something, and I hope it’s been interesting to hear the story behind the writing of the song, some of the behind the scenes of the creative process.
As always, thank you for listening to my songs, watching my videos, and reading my posts. It means more than I can say.
EDIT: You can now watch the behind the scenes of making this video, where I rambled, tripped over my own tongue, and accidentally advertised Red Bull! Enjoy! (x)
