Our Oceans release new music video for ‘Weeping Lead’

OUR OCEANS have released a brand new music video!

The new music video, for the track Weeping Lead, is taken from the Dutch trio’s upcoming new album, While Time Disappears, which is scheduled to be released in November this year.

Speaking about the new song, singer/guitarist Tymon Kruidenier says, Weeping Lead is one of my favourite songs on the album, both from a musical as well as a lyrical perspective. Conceptually, it’s quite a paradoxical song. On the one hand, it’s about the deadening numbness of depression, where suicide seems like the only way out. On the other hand, it’s about the realization that true purpose and meaning can only be found in overcoming sorrow and allowing yourself to transform that dark energy into things of beauty. On a side note; ‘lead’ refers to the metal here, so most people will probably mispronounce this song’s title before they hear me sing it.”

On the video, Tymon continues, “this gloomy and shadowy music video was once again directed by our friend Job Kuizenga. We were aiming for a 90s inspired look and feel as you can clearly tell from the 4:3 aspect ratio and the VHS glitches. Fun fact is that there were no digital effects used in the production. The hazy look was attained by filming through various drinking glasses while the VHS look comes from running the video through a real VHS player while holding magnets close to the tape and pushing around the tape heads.”
