Millencolin haben pünktlich zum Start ihrer Europa-Tour in
dieser Woche ein neues Musikvideo zum Song "Sour Days"
veröffentlicht. Der Track stammt vom aktuellen Album "SOS" der
Schweden, welches im Februar diesen Jahres auf Epitaph erschienen ist.
Das Video wurde vom
langjährigen Freund der Band Kalle Haglund Brusewitz gedreht, der folgendes
über den Clip sagt:
"The first time I heard the song and the lyrics I immediately
started to think about the old myth about the dude who rolled a massive stone
up a mountain. As soon as he was finished, the bastard stone rolled down on the
other side and he had to start pushing it up all over again. I never really
knew the whole story behind this Greek myth so I read up on it and realised it
was basically an illustration of our own relation to the humdrum of everyday
life. The story can be read in various ways depending on who reads it and what
state of mind he or she is in.
My take on this mythological meme, the moral of this particular story is
that, just like Sisyphus, we need to accept and salute whatever situation we're
in. If your skateboard is impossible to ride, then that is your path. You are
not a skateboarder anymore and you probably never were. Instead, embrace the
fact that you are on your way to become a successful white male long distance
runner in your forties. Bless. The video was shot on an iPhone in order to
capture proper day-to-day realism."
