The Wonder Years "Dismantling Summer" (Drew Russ, dir.)

The Wonder Years - Dismantling Summer (Official Music Video)

"The track finds frontman Dan Campbell telling the story of his grandfather undergoing heart surgery following a series of heart attacks the day before the band flew to England for a tour. 

Meanwhile, the video chooses not to present a actual depiction of the song's concept. Campbell breaks it down best: "We knew that for a song so personal, a literal re-telling for the video would be unwelcome and painful. [Director Drew Russ] took the core nerve of the song, the idea of being away when it matters most, and spun it into an absurdist piece of dark comedy during which my family found themselves fed up with my perpetual absence and replaced me with a mannequin, leaving me in the literal cold." - FUSE TV
