| ‘Save Me‘ is the impressive 9th video from EXTREME’s album ‘SIX,’ releasedin June of 2023 on earMUSIC. If first single and video ‘Rise‘ was a reminderof EXTREME’s power and precision and the latest ‘Beautiful Girls‘ a relaxedsummer jam, ‘Save Me‘ reveals yet another facet of the band’s depth andthe album’s diversity. ‘SIX‘ finds the band on a creative roll and having produced an astounding 9videos from the album, there’s no sign of them slowing down. See the video HERE Directed by SIMPLEXITY PICTURES who have done all the SIX music videosthis far … the dynamic duo, guitarist Nuno Bettencourt and Rene Rigal, thisvideo was shot with a very claustrophobic feel to show the raw emotion ofthe heavy subject matter of the song” says Nuno. “It was important to shoot like this to create a lack of oxygen in black voidas if “we” are the voices in your heads… in our own heads, to visually putacross the psychological battle of whispers and screams we have all dealtwith in coping with life’s challenges” Gary Cherone’s schizophrenic vocal in the verses is the dark narrator in ourheads taunting and pushing us to a dangerous edge: “Save me from myself/save me from this hell…” is our voice that is screaming in our heads butoften painfully silent on the outside. Nuno explains, “… the viewer sometimes can’t tell where one face ends andthe other begins. Like we are small pieces of a human jigsaw puzzle… withone rule… that we will never see the full finished puzzle.” Of our full selves. Reaching a crescendo with Nuno‘s stinging solo, the video ultimately endsin a dark place, but as Nuno and Gary intended … it is a song of hope… in adark reality. “YOU ARE NOT ALONE. There is always someone to call when all seemshopeless.” ACCESS “SIX” HERE |
