It&#8217;s a detached retelling of what had happened that was painful, as well as a kind of attempt at a self-prescribed &#8217;remedy&#8217; on how to proceed forward.<br \/>\nSince the song is an extremely internal one, even moreso than the rest of the record, I wanted a very intimate feeling for the video, so I thought &#8221;what would be more intimate than shooting it by myself, at home?&#8221; So that&#8217;s what I did. I also realized the other day that it&#8217;s kind of a funny play on words &#8211; it was after all, from a technical standpoint, a much &#8217;easier&#8217; video to make than some of the other ones. I like when things like that happen.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201c\u2018Momentary\u2019 has a chorus that to me is a universal message, a message that I acutely needed to hear when I wrote it. It was essentially me telling myself that things would get better, but also acknowledging that they\u2019d likely worse again too, and that\u2019s just how it is (and that that\u2019s not necessarily a bad thing). On another level, it\u2019s ultimately an acknowledgement of death, and as such is an implied admonition to really value and be supremely grateful for all of it \u2013 that it\u2019s all part of it, and all beautiful and meaningful, both in spite of, and because of, its impermanence. It\u2019s also a special song to me personally because it\u2019s the one song on the two records that was co-written by my brother Jeremy (who\u2019s also the drummer).<br \/>\nAs far as the video is concerned \u2013 I\u2019ve always had a deep love and appreciation for illustration, from a very young age being obsessed with comic books. So I wrote out a few rough, sort of allegorical outlines and began looking for illustrators. I literally came across David Sparshott by googling \u2018Illustrator\u2019. I was really drawn to his style, as I was looking for a somewhat particular line-drawn, monochromatic kind of thing. His pieces were cooler and more boldly idiosyncratic and technically beautiful than I had imagined. I\u2019m thrilled with his interpretation.\u201d<br \/>\nStory is out now, available on iTunes<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>www.davidbronsonmusic.com www.facebook.com\/david.ian.bronson www.twitter.com\/bronsondavid \u2018If you like well-produced, catchy, decent guitar playing and solid vocals then you\u2019ll like this.\u2019 \u2013 Gold Flake Paint After a number of years of writing, producing, and recording, David Bronson officially releases the first instalment of a 22-song cycle project, The Long Lost Story, in the UK. \u2018Story\u2019 is the first [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":295,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2321","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-press_releases"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.livestagemusic.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2321","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.livestagemusic.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.livestagemusic.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.livestagemusic.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/295"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.livestagemusic.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2321"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.livestagemusic.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2321\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.livestagemusic.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2321"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.livestagemusic.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2321"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.livestagemusic.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2321"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
