New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Remo Drive have unleashed their new video and second single, "Ode to Joy 2". Written over the span of a few years, vocalist Erik Paulson explains, "the lyrics were inspired by the excess I perceived around me as I transitioned from being a college student into touring full time.
Most people who've done either can confirm that many social interactions are built around having a drink or smoking weed.
Once the honeymoon period of exploration was over for me, I became frustrated with the omnipresence of drugs and alcohol and wanted to write about it... Oh what fun it is laughing at nothing, by this age we all have it down.. When I wrote the final version of the lyrics, I tried to connect with how I think when I'm drunk. I always feel as though I'm loving and hating every second of it. This song captures that same ambivalence."
"Ode to Joy 2" comes accompanied with a video which was created in the early days of quarantine.
