This song is basically about the pandemic. It was sort hard to write for me since it deals with someone close to me. Not sure if that helped or hindered my ability to get it recorded...but here it be at any rate! How many times can David use the word "fire" or "flames" in his song lyrics? Plenty more times! This song features the word "flames"! You're welcome! I am a one trick pony! Apologies if this video is creepy with my eyes lighting up. My eyes pulse to the harmonies that sing the lead vocal lyrics and then lights pulse behind me for any harmonies that aren't doing lead lyrics. I also made the video super weird by stabilizing already stable shots. The final outcome kind of makes my head look like CG, but it's just the digital stabilizer trying its best to keep my head steady as I thrash it about and move my body. Looks super weird and I always wanted to try making a music video with it. Sometimes what it churned out was pretty unpredictable and I just ran with it. I like it. Don't worry, I have plenty more floating head music video ideas and I will never do a location shot for my solo song music videos, because who the hell wants to see me singing next to a tree or a building? Give me David's head in a black void any day of the week.
David, I practice your songs day in and day out, as a new singer, and as I'm told your voice is so hard to match... With alittle practice.. I get it each time... Fire Fire and Hot On the Trail, I have so well.... Keep going and I cannot wait for the rest you put out, if you ever wanna hear, I'd love to show you. I woulda never began trying if it wasn't for a special someone who encouraged me.
David's saying he tends to use fire and flames in his lyrics, but my dude just loves the hair of people in his life. Cool hair here, the curl of her hair there, very cute stuff
David, this is uncanny and I love it. The way the camera moves makes this feel like a CGI project that hasn't been fleshed out and it's spooky and I love it so much- Also always endlessly in love with your voice!!
I have watched/listened to this song sooo many times - gotta be over a hundred by now. I keep coming back to it - as a musician, I can't quite put my finger on what draws me back, but whatever, hey? I keep seeing something else for the video - for me vids should almost be mini movies. But I imagine that with the pandemic making movies wasn't really an option. I would kinda like to see something movie-esque done with this song - I think it deserves it!
I ♥️ The Spine……..but I am now totally smitten with David. I have been a musician for over 32 years, but life has been killing that part of me. Inspiration is hard for me, but this helps.
You ever feel like a song just describes like every aspect of what you've been feeling the past few years? I survived COVID pandemic in a nursing home.. helping do the facetimes, the window visits, outside with plastic screens.. workin the scary covid unit. Watching my elderly peeps just wither away from depression. got myself so burnt out i ended up swapping fields and doing hospice. it is more rewarding but also emotionally taxing at times. I listen to this song and it just feels so close to me like somebody just gets it. Thank you for making this song
I'll be 64 next month..that's alot of orbits around the sun..just want to express my appreciation for your talent and drive to always put out quality material. Keep on keeping on!!
Your voice and range just draws me in over and over. 24/7! I love you as the Spine but these songs as yourself are amazing. I'll never get tired of your voice. Not to mention the songs you write. I mean, WOW!
Wowsers! It worked in a weird and beautiful way. I dont care if you're a floating head or if you're standing next to a tree, just keep doing what you do
Absolutely phenomenal as always, also wanted to thank you in a format you will hopefully see. My fiancé had you do a congratulatory video on our upcoming nuptials and it made my heart swell. Thank you so very much
Everything here is wonderful!! The vocals, the video, the harmony... I really love the lyrics and this part is my favorite: "The parts of her brain that I love so sometimes causes her so much pain". Aaaaaaaaa it's amazing! Thank you for such an amazing song! Love from Brasil ❤️
As a fellow musician, I just discovered SPG this week and I'm hooked now. Was so excited to see a new song from you, David. Keep it going and thank you. Great vocals as usual. :)
As usual- love the vocals and love the lyrics. The video style was really cool. Till I read the description, I just assumed it was an editing/cgi trick.
This is good. Liked it very much. Thought it was an interesting way to shoot it. Thought the eyes were cool. Keep it up. Much better then a lot of the cookie cutter stuff out there.
Aaaaa I love all your music so much!!! The editing style looks so cool and really matches the song!! Also love the lil descriptions you always add to your songs
I would LOVE to see SPINE do a cover of Ah-Ha song 'Take On Me'(sorry I am an older fan, but I think covering the '80's would fly with the younger folks that never heard them), even some Europe songs(Countdown, Cherokee,etc).
Camera is a still shot and I am just moving my head around while standing still. Then towards the end I start moving my torso and rest of body a bit, and that’s when the digital stabilizer gets weird and starts zooming in and out. This video is the product of me piecing together multiple smaller takes and using the ones that stabilized just weird enough to work. Sometimes it would spin the head around in a circle and that didn’t work as well, so yeah I cherry picked the ones that had the best effect.
@@DavidMBennett I figured you are was a lot of your movements since that is something you know how to do. It is effective though because the lack of torso messes with your perception. Cool!

yessss i love the more floating heads!!!!
I adore this! You have immense talent, keep 'em comin....
Diamonds would have been very different if Spines floating head stayed floating 🤣

It’s an absolutely beautiful song. I keep coming back to this video.
The suden realization that while I love steam powered giraffe, sometimes I need to hear david singing
I hope your torso grows back.
😅🤣🤣
He’s just have the spine repaired it’ll be back soon
Hey Spine, your backup head is getting a successful solo career!
Sounds like the plot of a Japanese Light Novel
If David ever decided to tour as just himself I'd totally be down with that.
... or even just his head! :P
The Solo David Bennett channel is criminally under-viewed. Let's correct that.
David's saying he tends to use fire and flames in his lyrics, but my dude just loves the hair of people in his life. Cool hair here, the curl of her hair there, very cute stuff
Floating head timeee
David, this is uncanny and I love it. The way the camera moves makes this feel like a CGI project that hasn't been fleshed out and it's spooky and I love it so much-
Also always endlessly in love with your voice!!
I wanna know how often he's appeared on stage as a Blue Man.
No chance to recognize his voice in that role, but man, this fellow can MOVE, too.

Your vocal range is always outstanding. I love listening to you sing.
I'm getting lots of 'the singing busts from haunted mansion' vibes and I love it
I'd wager it's the same place with the haunted picture frame that Rabbit got stuck inside
Now I want to see SPG do a cover of Grim Grinning Ghosts with just their heads
I ♥️ The Spine……..but I am now totally smitten with David. I have been a musician for over 32 years, but life has been killing that part of me. Inspiration is hard for me, but this helps.
The success of the floating head tells me somewhere out there a headless torso is running around with a successful personal career
Great song! The light up eyes are pretty freaky - would look pretty darn incredible in Spine makeup!!!👀
You can bet I showed the rest of the band to see if any of the fun things going on here could be used in a future Steam Powered Giraffe video. :)
@@DavidMBennett Well?
@@hippapodacow8087 "Well, David, if you like it so much, do it yourself!" And thus the Summertime Sadness video was born.
The "obviously " at the end kills me. 😂 But seriously this is a deep song.
Same! I burst out laughing and my husband was concerned right after a deep song 🤣
and the little cracking of the voice
Hands down, my new favorite love song. Only if all men can be as passionate and honest as this😢

Pulling at the ole heart wires again. Thanks Dave.

I need more floating David head
Love the Bill Nye head aesthetic

Glad you enjoyed the song Scott and so happy to be apart of the congratulations in the video sent to you :)
^_^ if y'all were Texas based or playing the area in April I'd love to invite you!
completely obsessed with this song and the pink and blue light in david's eyes >__
'
We looked far away counting down the days when everything could be cried.' I got chills, goosebumps and cried myself it so beautiful and powerful.
I LOVE the creative use of image stabilization!
Haunting and beautiful.
I love your vocal range and your all around talent. Simply devine good sir.
This was so absolutely stunning that I can't even be mad it was recommended as a Big Data instagrm ad to me
I LOVEEEE this edit, the vocals are as perfect as usual!
Keep it up david.
I am both entranced and intimated
I love the different colored eyes! It's a really cool detail haha:) Happy to see another new song as well!!
What a beautiful soul…
Your voice is like warm hug.
It’s absolutely beautiful! I love it! Well done as always David, you wonderfully talented human being.
Everything here is wonderful!! The vocals, the video, the harmony... I really love the lyrics and this part is my favorite: "The parts of her brain that I love so sometimes causes her so much pain". Aaaaaaaaa it's amazing!
Thank you for such an amazing song!
Love from Brasil ❤️
As a fellow musician, I just discovered SPG this week and I'm hooked now. Was so excited to see a new song from you, David. Keep it going and thank you. Great vocals as usual. :)
David another triumph.
I’ve had this song on replay this week and it’s gotten me through a really bad period in my life-
Thank you David,
If there was any question about David's talent and skill this should quell any doubt.
As usual- love the vocals and love the lyrics. The video style was really cool. Till I read the description, I just assumed it was an editing/cgi trick.
besides the song and visuals being incredible, you accidentally created great art/animation reference!! :DD
I like the floating head glowing eyes music video. Could use more for sure! :^)
Beautiful song! Thank you for gifting us this, on this wonderful friday!
Love your music sir this is great.
Love the video. It gives me vibes from the old goosebumps TV movie haunted mask.
This is amazing!! I'm so in love with your voice. ❤🧡💛
Omg I’m obsessed with this song
Ha…still obsessed
Definitely a new favorite song for me from you....
Another amazing creation
You are a beautiful person David
Felt this one right in the hydraulics. Beautiful! *sniffle*
I heard this song for the first time today... my heart!!! This kind of music is so easy to relate to. Thank you :))))))
Beautiful- needed this right now
I LOVE THE VISUALS (but the music more, hee hee). Awesome job!!
Oh gosh! Thank you for sharing this mr david! IT's beautiful!
thanks for all your amazing music.
This is good. Liked it very much. Thought it was an interesting way to shoot it. Thought the eyes were cool. Keep it up. Much better then a lot of the cookie cutter stuff out there.
Incredible music! You're easily one of my favorite artists. I hope you're doing well in life and wish the best to you and your family and friends.
You have such amazing talent.
Aaaaa I love all your music so much!!! The editing style looks so cool and really matches the song!! Also love the lil descriptions you always add to your songs
😍❤❤❤ I love all your work, you always have such a great range of vocals.

This is amazing David!! Such beautiful vocals, and the editing is so cool!!
amazing as always
Amazing. Weird. I love it.
DMB impersonating a shit-kicking CGI effect here
This was aooo awesome and soo cool!!!
So lovely! Really enjoyed.
You’re my favorite one trick pony.
I would LOVE to see SPINE do a cover of Ah-Ha song 'Take On Me'(sorry I am an older fan, but I think covering the '80's would fly with the younger folks that never heard them), even some Europe songs(Countdown, Cherokee,etc).
❤️❤️❤️
This is what Dr. Manhattan was doing on Mars
Beautiful song :)
Please, please, please put this song on The Seventh
so curious about the camera and editing techniques used here. so cool
David, it seems you've turned into a floating head! How peculiar!
The heart and soul of SPG.
Forgive my plagiarism: "Give me David's head in a black void any day of the week."
hey mate i love u!!
Creepy... but lovely. Als always *kiss*
Phineas and Ferb floating baby head grows up...
Very cool and pretty. I’m so confused about how the movement is filmed. I’d like to know how it’s done. Nice work!

Why am I getting a Judge Doom feeling.
The link to Bandcamp isn't working? Bandcamp doesn't know what I'm talking about when I look at all your songs.
Fixed!
I'm the 22 view
I like the song a lot but my anxiety isn't letting me watch the video today. Too much wibbly wobbly
I love this so much 🥺🥺
