Fire From The Gods release music video for acoustic version of "Be Free"
Fire From The Gods unveiled a music video for their acoustic version of "Be Free" yesterday.
For this visual, the band asked fans to submit footage of themselves singing the song along with other photos and videos of the band. Vocalist AJ Channer, who directed and edited the video, said this about getting their fans involved:
“People often ask ‘who are your fans? What type of artist do you want to be?’ and I can never answer that question because honestly I don't know. I've been to so many places and interacted with so many different people. That has had a profound effect on me. I am 100% sure that I only want to spread a message of inner strength and unity, and this song is that message. I've directed quite a few music videos but only one for FFTG. I knew I had to do this one because I wanted to give our fans a real shout out from a real place. I didn't add any of the bells and whistles. We made them look like home movies because home is where the heart is and FFTG is about that. Having heart. Life is rough. Life is beautiful. There are good times and there are bad times, but no matter what you're going through just breathe and be free.”
When it comes to “Be Free,” which is from the band’s recent album Soul Revolution, Channer said this:
“If I had to pick one song from ‘Soul Revolution’ that fully embodied where my mental state was while writing this record, it would be “Be Free. Why? Because our music is essentially about freedom. Life is a struggle--I know about that struggle, and I know our fans do too. We love our fans because they are real people. They love this band because we’re real people. I’m honest and not afraid to talk about that everyday [nonsense]. I know, and they know, what it is to have your back pushed against the wall. No matter what you’re up against, sometimes you gotta let it go and just be free.”
The acoustic version of "Be Free" comes from Fire From The God’s new acoustic EP Soul Revolution: Acoustic Vibes, which is out right now on digital platforms via Better Noise Music.
