Canadian pop-rock band Hedley have just released the music video for their fourth deep emotional single “Can’t slow down”.
The clip, directed by frontman Jacob Hoggard and Matt Leaf, is about the struggles of a relationship.
“For me is kind of that confession of, I guess, what life can be like being pulled from opposite ends, needing to be a lot of different things a lot of the time. I’m excited to just convey a lot of what can be difficult emotions to express in a really kind of clear and beautiful fashion” explained Jacob.
He adds: “Visually we’re going for a sort of going for a contrast between two worlds. I wouldn’t call it good and evil. It may be more like up and down. It might be like two sides to every story.”
Lyrics:
It’s a strange thing in life
When you’re chasing your dreams
And it’s not what it seems
And your heart’s on the line
I never wanna be the one fading
Am I out of my mind?
Do I got it all wrong?
Don’t I have what I want?
Gotta try to make it right
I never wanna be the one waiting
She said Jake you’re a little bit stoned
When you gonna get grown?
Would you just come home?
I’m so not sure
Could you help yourself?
I can’t help you anymore
You’re going faster than me
Too little too late
I don’t think I’m gonna stay
I don’t think you’re gonna change
I’m so not sure
Could you help yourself
I can’t help you anymore
You’re going faster than me
But I can’t slow down now
The lights just went down, down
There’s a cost, there’s a price
Yeah you really feel the fall out
Ripping your heart out
Night after night
When all you ever wanted was some home time
I’m not thinking sober
I don’t think it’s over
I can’t lie
But I can use a little bit of lone time
She said Jake you’re a little bit stoned
When you gonna get grown?
Would you just go home?
I’m so not sure
Could you help yourself?
I can’t help you anymore
You’re going faster than me
Too little too late
I don’t think I’m gonna stay
I don’t think you’re gonna change
I’m so not sure
Could you help yourself?
I can’t help you anymore
You’re going faster than me
But I can’t slow down now
The lights just went down, down
Baby hold on somehow
Cause I can’t slow down now
No I can’t slow down now
I’m not thinking sober
I don’t think it’s over
I can’t lie
I could use a little bit of home time
She said Jake you’re a little bit stoned
When you gonna get grown?
Would you just go home?
I’m so not sure
Could you help yourself?
I can’t help you anymore
You’re going faster than me
Too little too late
I don’t think I’m gonna stay
I don’t think you’re gonna change
I’m so not sure
Could you help yourself?
I can’t help you anymore
You’re going faster than me
But I can’t slow down now
The light just went down, down, down
Baby hold on somehow
Cause I can’t slow down now
No I can’t slow down now
