Joywave - "Brain Damage" Music Video

Joywave's latest music video for “Brain Damage” offers an intriguing visual narrative that perfectly complements the band's thought-provoking lyrics. Directed by Dimitri Basil, the video unfolds with a cat staring out the window and engaging in a staring contest with a spider, while outside, a chaotic scenario plays out between a taxi driver and another driver, with a barking dog adding to the commotion. These seemingly unrelated events create a tapestry of tension and anticipation, mirroring the complexities of the modern world. 

In the new single, the Rochester, New York-based band delves into the multifaceted emotions associated with the current global landscape. Joywave skillfully addresses pressing issues like climate change, the looming threat of an asteroid, the ventures of billionaires in space exploration, and the dissonance between past and present. The chorus, with its poignant repetition questioning the listener's gratitude for being alive, prompts introspection about navigating the uncertainties of the world while cherishing the gift of life.
