Hard Rock Daddy is proud to present the world premiere of the video for “Save Yourself” by Sonic X – the follow-up to the band’s outstanding single, “Pray.”
There is no doubt that this Toronto-based power quartet is going to be a force to be reckoned with in the hard rock genre before long. The band’s 4-song EP, Fall From Grace, is one of the more inspired and memorable debuts to emerge in recent times. Incorporating elements from the 80s (the glory days of metal), and blending them with elements of modern hard rock, Sonic X has created a fresh sound that is as relevant today as it would have been decades ago. If you have an appreciation for exceptional musicianship and meaningful lyrics, this is a band that you must check out.
In a Hard Rock Daddy exclusive, Sonic X frontman, Adam Troy shares the inspiration for “Save Yourself” and provides insight into the making of this superb DIY video…
“Basically, the song is about living recklessly and not really giving a shit about how it affects you or those around you. We are living in a very narcissistic society that gives little thought to its actions (or much else) if it conflicts with a particular lifestyle.
Alcoholism… gambling…addiction…procrastination…‘my car sucks’…‘why can’t I do that?’…‘I want, I need, gimme, gimme, gimme!’…(Thank you Bill Murray)
Even though ‘Save Yourself’ has nothing do with it, I relate it to the song ‘I, Me, Mine’ (by George Harrison) in that everything these days is…I…me…mine.
For the record I’m just as guilty; I walk around with the same issues as everyone else. The only difference is that I make an effort to own my own shit (which is the essence of the song)…owning your bullshit…and if you won’t ….well….‘Save Yourself!’
The video comes from a place of people doing things that are reckless, living outrageous lives (myself included). Some things seem crazy and comical, while others are outright dangerous, yet we still do it, never really thinking how it affects those around us. Sometimes it’s good, and other times, it’s downright dysfunctional.”
