The album’s title track was written after FINNEAS attended a protest in Downtown LA, who said the event filled him with the hope that the world could come together and fight against institutionalized racism and inequality. At the same time, FINNEAS was following Amanda Cloots as she documented her husband Nick Cordero’s battle with COVID-19.
“It got me thinking about all the millions of people, all over the world, who also have loved ones… Fighting this horrific virus. Some will overcome and wake up again, while others, tragically may not,” said FINNEAS in a press release. “This song is dedicated to all who have had to endure this year. I hope this song can offer some sort of comfort to those who may need it.”
The music video for the title track came out at the beginning of the month and is an intimate roller-coaster that's one long shot. The video was directed by Sam Bennet, who frequently works with FINNEAS.
The concept is simple, yet effective. The video features FINNEAS staring at the camera, while his environment spins around him faster and faster. The scenery that surrounds him changes and crescendos with the song itself, slowly ruining his manicured look, a fitting video for the emotional year it's beenAt only 23 years old, this new album is coming in after his hit debut EP, Blood Harmony DELUXE.
While it may be a rough year for the world it hasn’t been a rough year for FINNEAS. Recently, FINNEAS was nominated for an MTV VMA Award for ‘Best Alternative Video. In January FINNEAS won six Grammy awards, including the Grammy for producer of the year, Non-Classical and Best Engineered Album, Non-Classical as well as Record of the Year, Album of the Year and Song of the Year with his sister Billie Eilish for her debut album When We All Fall Asleep, Where do We Go? And of course the hit single, Bad Guy.
FINNEAS also co-produced and co-wrote the official theme song and title track for the upcoming James Bond film, No Time To Die, with Billie Eilish and Stephen Lipson. The song features guitar from Johnny Marr and orchestral arrangements from Hans Zimmer and Matt Dunkley.
