James Vincent McMorrow HeadlightsWatch at the source

This song is taken from James Vincent McMorrow’s forthcoming album ‘Grapefruit Season’, out 17th September.

a lot of my work right now revolves around the idea of embracing chaos. We had an incredible idea for a music video for Headlights back in January, then obviously it became impossible to create it. So we embraced the chaos. I was sent an idea from the director Tom Speers which essentially allowed me to exist in my house and simply shoot my life for a week. No grand plans or aspirations for it beyond simply capturing life in as natural and unforced a way as is possible. Myself and Emma were allowed to shoot what we wanted when we wanted, and because she was on the other end of the camera, for the first time in my life i actually looked at footage of myself and felt like i was watching a genuine representation of myself coming back at me. I'm excited for people to see that vision because it's unadorned and honest and silly in places, not curated or edited to present a vision i think you might have of me. For people who might think me opaque, like they know my music but they might not know me, what i am, or what i believe in, then this is the video for you.
