A Reminder When Intrusive Thoughts Creep In:
In a world where intrusive thoughts can easily cloud our minds, sometimes we need a reminder to step back, recognize them for what they are. This is the message at the heart of D1do and BEX's powerful pop/punk, electronic anthem, "AFFiRMATiONanthem".
This isn't just another song; it's a story, a journey told through the music video. It's the story of an elderly gentleman reflecting on his life, realizing those moments that once felt stressful were actually special.
The Music Video: A Symphony of Emotions
The video takes viewers on a journey, bending reality as the gentleman revisits his younger self in high school exam season and as a lawyer in court, letting loose and dancing through the moments he wishes he'd enjoyed more. The message is clear, and one we can all relate to: one day we're going to wish we had more fun. So, have more fun.
The song's powerful story and intention struck a chord, sparking national press and radio coverage. OMNI News, CMCTV, and 101FM all featured D1do and BEX, shining a light on the anthem's message of embracing the moment.
The Magic of Co-Creation
But the magic didn't stop there. After writing the song in a fast and electrifying process, D1do and BEX dreamt up the music video 'with no limitations'.
They envisioned challenging scenes, including a classroom and a courtroom. Miraculously, these dreams led them to their production sponsor, Digital Canaries, with their full film studio in Hamilton, Ontario, complete with the perfect sets. The path to their dream unfolded, turning the near impossible into reality.
The energy on set was palpable. The rooms were filled with people chosen not for their acting skills, but for their energy and excitement. Unscripted dance scenes brought an authentic playfulness to the video, capturing the joy of dancing wild to the unreleased song. This energy translated to the screen, with viewers commenting on the joy they felt while watching.
The "AFFiRMATiONanthem" music video wasn't just about creating something beautiful; it was about forging new connections. The team's chemistry was undeniable, and new friendships blossomed. The co-creation process brought people together, and that's a powerful thing.
The Timeless Presence of Anthony's Nonno
The video's emotional depth was further enhanced by the casting of Anthony's 96-year-old Nonno as the elderly gentleman. It added a timeless quality, a deeper connection for viewers to the idea of aging. This serendipitous casting happened due to a scheduling change, a butterfly moment that led to an even more impactful video.
