Toronto singer-songwriter and recent Epitaph Records signess SayWeCanFly has revealed the animated video for ‘High School’. It is taken from his debut EP, ‘Darling’, available now.
“The song is really about how I feel the world has lost its mind, and humans have completely lost touch with each other,” said SayWeCanFly’s Braden Barrie. “People treat each other poorly in high school and it continues on a much larger scale in war, politics and racism. I really wanted to capture the feeling of being alone in a foreign place that makes no sense to the character because he feels hurt by the way things are around him. He just wants to feel loved and he wants others to be happy, and doesn’t see a reason for the chaos and pain.”
Directed by the UK’s John Howe, the video showcases the track’s theme. “Braden describes how the world is full of atrocities, and that it is important to bring awareness to these happenings,” Howe explains.
SayWeCanFly will be touring the UK and mainland Europe in February 2016 in support of ‘Darling’.
