“For the video,” says the band, “we wanted to find a way to personify various inner struggles that we carry with us every day – the hidden parts of ourselves that can bring us both weakness and strength throughout our lives. Director Will Kindrick is a visionary – he started from that simple idea and turned it into something more beautiful and moving than we could have imagined.” -M&TF
The Moth & The Flame teamed up with RSA-Black Dog director and Saint Cloud founder, Julian Acosta and Saint Cloud director Kevin Bolger to create these striking visuals telling the story of youthful passion, love, and infatuation.
Having a skateboard magazine rip your video off YouTube, remove the title and post it on Facebook without any credit or linkage is certainly bad Internet etiquette, but the kind of thing that happens all day every day. Except in this case, the Facebook rip became a viral hit with three million views, with the vast majority of people never connecting the dots to the band The Moth and The Flame and the elder skateboard star Neal Unger. That is, until a vocal Reddit campaign and a dedicated fanbase made sure that the Internet would eventually force the magazine to right that wrong.
