Music Video of the Week: Scott Collins’ dark Western clip
Music can deliver different emotions no matter what genre it may be. Listening to your favorite song may remind you of a different place in time, or may rile you up for the evening. You might resonate with the beat, a droning synth, a chaotic composition or the lyrics. One of the components that can can expand the impact of a song is a well-made music video. Music videos can add context, explain the lyrics better, or tell a story like Austin artist, Scott Collins‘ new video.
Our Music Video of the Week is local folk-rock, singer-songwriter Collins‘ brand-new clip for his latest single, “Something Different Here.” The video adds a dark layer to Americana-rocker. The old Western-style story starts with a man being led by gunpoint while having a shovel tied to his arms above his head. The unfortunate soul is forced to dig his own grave. In a turn of events he discovers a treasure worth more than gold.
The track has a catchy chorus that provides a welcome contrast to the percussive rhythms and rocking guitars. The song highlights Collins’ gift for songwriting. The singer is just as adept at putting down a heartfelt, emotional ballad or a memorable, hard rocker like this one.
Are you still wondering what’s is worth more than gold to a cowboy? Watch the clip and find out.
