The first official Music Video Monday is our second offering from Stephen Chopek.
“Staying” from the EP On Their Own is a about exploring a new city. Chopek relocated to Memphis from New Jersey last year. “A few places in Midtown caught my eye that I thought would work well for a music video. My goal was to capture moments as they presented themselves in order to express the spontaneity of exploration,” he says. “I collected a lot of footage without knowing which song I would would be using it for. When I decided that ‘Staying’ was going to be the single, everything fell into place. The video serves as both a visual accompaniment to music, and a love letter to my new home.”
Prominently featured in the video is Alex Warble’s giant mural on the west wall of the Hi-Tone’s former location on Poplar Avenue. Can we have that declared a landmark?
