NEW RELEASE: SEADOG “OLD JOE”
"Old Joe is a regular guy who became fixated with a romance that didn't quite work out and has since been longing to rekindle that magical spark that he once had. He knows that it's the only thing that made him feel human, and now he's forever living under dark clouds.”

Spiraling down the memory lane with warmth and sentiments, vintage footage sets the mood of “Old Joe.” The story of a man who is stuck in the memory of a perfect past and an unfulfilled present unveils in the reoccurring choruses and ever-changing verses.
With personal references and symbolization of a past era, the past was brightened up in the passing time. Motorik beat brought back the time on the road with an earful of wind accompanied by the sweet, old engine sound; luxurious Ford, planes, splitting nucleus; the penetration of a dripping tap – “So blissful was the time when he walks a carefree stride with you in tow.”
The man gradually drifted into alcoholism, darkness, and despair until nothing has left but a misfitting middle-aged man with a beer belly dwelling on the past, wishfully rekindle the lost flame.
“So I saw the spell he fell under; used to be so perfect in the past.”

A dramatic escalation of an overwhelming loss with the cinematic sequential approach of repetition switching back and forth between the sad, crying babyfaces and a doll on fire – what’s gone can never regain. The blinking button says, “part missing.”
Through a frosted glass, “Old Joe” glances into the melancholic remembrance of love and glory with nostalgic warmth.
“The rain soaks through, every ounce of you; cause your aura held the light, that kept them through the night, he only knew. ”
