Rockers from Wales, Dream State have just dropped their new music video for their single, ‘Are You Ready To Live?‘, which is taken from their debut album that was released last year, Primrose Path.
The quartet was set to drop a music video that was going to include a compilation of live shows and footage from their tour, but given the current climate that was unfortunately cancelled due to Covid –19. This resulted in the band losing the ability to create content for their upcoming music video.
However, there was a silver lining! The band used their socials to reach out to their fans, asking them to send them footage of themselves singing along to the song while being in lockdown and stuck at home, “2020 has been a tough year for the world, but we hope this can bring a little happiness and connection to you too.”
‘Are You Ready To Live? Celebrates fans coming together to make light of a dark situation, while sending their home videos they were able to feel part of something bigger and really be connect with the band’s single.
Vocalist from Dream State, CJ Gilpin explains what ‘Are You Ready To Live?’ really means to her in an interview with Rock Sound, “We all at some point in our lives hit rock bottom, and the only road from there is one of change – only you can really pick yourself up and find the meanings that fit you. To be a fully whole being, you must first conquer your fears and pain by yourself; this life is the journey of self and no one can live it like you. No one will see it like you. Are you ready to live?”
