Billy Morrison Releases Lyric Video for "We Are The Dead"

Billy Morrison has unveiled the lyric video for his song “We Are The Dead”, which comes from the deluxe edition of his solo album, The Morrison Project, out now via TLG/ZOID/Virgin Music Group. In a press release announcing the video, Morrison stated the following:

"This album was a particularly cathartic one for me and I wanted to find a way to write a love song in a less than traditional way. My life changed in the last few years for the better and I wrote these lyrics in one session like a stream of consciousness - the concept of a love that is so strong, it transcends our human existence appealed to me greatly. I started imagining being dead and being with the person I love for eternity and that seemed to illustrate the strength I was feeling."

"'With your understanding, my world’s expanding'….. it speaks perfectly to gradually feeling like I can shed the defenses and walls that I’ve built up over decades. I am a far from perfect man, but with the kind of love and support I have, my world IS expanding and this song is me screaming that sentiment from the rooftops. The “Dia De Los Muertos” imagery reflects celebration as opposed to mourning, which seemed a perfect visual to accompany such positive and meaningful lyrics."
