Build a Fire Video
Tuesday, March 15, 2011 So stoked to share my new music vid for the single and title track from my 2009 debut solo album, BUILD A FIRE. I wrote the song as a message for my daughter (you can see a picture flash quickly at the end of me holding her after her birth in '06) - life lessons from Daddy to Ari.
I had the idea to satirize the convention of American parenting, so I dug up some PSAs from the 50's and 60's, spliced 'em up and tried to tell a story with them. There's some hilarious stuff if you watch closely - it's so stunning what people thought (think?) they should teach their kids.
Of course, YouTube Likes and Comments always appreciated! I also added still-frame music vids for the rest of my BUILD A FIRE tracks. Subscribe here. Have at it.

Very cool video! Love all the 60's TV references. Congrats, Joe!
What an awesome video! I can't wait to see what you do for the new album.
Cheers!
