It’s just so cool, it’s rare that you get all of us artists in the same room, in the same building and so.. you know, people are waiting, having won competitions and stuff like that.. you kinda wanna give them a little bit more than just our songs. So, it’d be nice to get up and do something." -Niall

Music Video Monday (Wednesday): Plain White T’s - “Land of the Living”

(Or, Alex's First Disney World Celebrity Encounter)

So...this is a week late and I’m sorry. Life comes at you fast, I guess.

If either A) you're not a Warped Tour veteran or B) haven't attended an Epcot festival over the past year or so, the Plain White T's have probably understandably fallen off your radar. They have yet to mimic the success of their megahit "Hey There Delilah," even as sweet as subsequent singles "1, 2, 3, 4" and "Rhythm of Love" were. "Delilah" shifted the T's from the early pop-punk sound that made them Warped Tour faves as they explored the Wonderful World of Adult Top 40. "Delilah"'s successors, similarly, followed suit, while unable to reach the lofty heights "Delilah" did, atop what I can only assume was her 15th floor studio apartment in New York City.

Struggling to find a niche for themselves amidst Hollywood labelmates as Selena Gomez and Demi Lovato, the T's rightfully bid their Disney-owned label farewell in search of a new chapter. They say you can't go home again, but that's exactly what they did, returning to former label, Fearless Records, the one who gave the T's a platform in the first place.

"Land of the Living" marks their first single release upon their return to Fearless. The quintet have officially come full circle as Top 40 vets in a relatively short amount of time, returning to their home label. They return with new experiences and sounds to draw from under their belts. For "Living," it errs a bit more toward the T's pop-punk roots than some of their bigger recent hits. Back in my Songs of the Week post from this past weekend, I compared it to some kind of cross between the Beach Boys and Bloc Party. I still stand by that. Is it as groundbreaking as anything Brian Wilson or Kele Okereke have given us? Nah. Is it still enjoyable? Yes. After all, these guys know their way around a good pop song, as the past couple of years have shown. Also, try getting that guitar riff out of your head.

I had the pleasure of hearing the T's perform this song twice while I caught them at the Epcot Flower and Garden Festival this year. Funny story: I'd watched Simple Plan there just two nights before with friends and when I got up to get some water, I swore, for a second, I locked eyes with singer Tom Higgenson along the World Showcase promenade. At first I brushed it off, remembering that I went to high school with a dude that looked -just- like him. But after Simple Plan finished their last set of the festival and broke down all their equipment--and as I am telling my friend and her mother who I thought I saw--there he is, chatting up a group of girls behind us. Not only that, but there's a small group of his bandmates (I distinctly remember seeing guitarist/sometimes-singer Tim Lopez and drummer De'Mar Hamilton among them) directly to my left. So, confirmed: it was Tom that I locked eyes with on the promenade. I just didn't want to be that person to stop him like that. One, because I'm not as outgoing as the internet makes me seem, and two, I just thought it'd be rude. 

We would return two days later to watch their final two sets of Flower and Garden. During that first set we watched, one girl walked out of the amphitheater for whatever reason, which Higgenson playfully(?) called her out on, saying, "Bye...you're gonna miss the song you came for." (Referring to "Delilah," obviously). During the second, Higgenson brought out his little son Lennon to dance around on stage and be generally adorable (don't believe me? Watch him be precious in the video for "American Nights"). Later I saw him take a pair of Winnie the Pooh ears from two girls in front of the stage, and when he tried to return them after the set, they told him to keep them. They said they've been asked by Disney to return for this year's Epcot Food and Wine Festival (which I missed out on last year due to Hurricane Matthew), but if they're making their way back here again, I'd be happy to catch them, because they're some of the coolest dudes in rock right now. (Speaking from experience.)

Enough about me, let's check out that video.

Directed by Melanie D'Andrea (who won the T's contest with Project Greenlight for a chance to helm the video), "Living" explores the Brand New World of Virtual Reality in ways that haven't been tapped on in music videos lately. It's somehow the one trend that hasn't been omnipresent in the pop music video pantheon, yet this video executes it without trying to look desperately trendy (that said, I'd call it about as timeless as Wreck-It Ralph). As elderly folk go through the motions in what appears to be some kind of hospital or retirement home, they are given VR goggles in an attempt to live out their fantasies. This, much like the pills they're given, seems eerily routine (and almost dystopian?) as the orderlies distribute goggles. Among these fantasies:

dancer!

~Golden Drag~ 

Be the Band--that is, the Plain White T's, specifically.

This is the frame I find the most fascinating. As this man's goggles start to malfunction, his drag queen fantasy starts yelling the line, "but I wouldn't push your luck" before the goggles stop working altogether. It's a bit off-putting, as if to say, "never in a million years, bucko."

Clearly he's had enough, so he starts viciously unplugging everyone's goggles. The patients start freaking out, as the orderlies chase the man down the street...

...Where he meets a group of queens to help him live out his drag fantasy in real life.

No goggles required. Shantay, you stay.

The T's look on at our new queen friend, clearly enjoying herself and encouraging others to do the same. And her lip sync game is already better than a few that I saw this season, but in the interest of not igniting Stan Wars, I won't say who those were charlieandvalentina.

So now there's a big party with drag queens, old peeps, and T's. Our dancer fantasy is even getting in on the action:

This is the future liberals want.

And look, the orderlies are here too!

There's something to be said in this video about creating your own reality: instead of just living in fantasies and wishing on stars, being proactive and working toward making the dream a reality. Now that's the kind of all-inclusive party I'd like to go to, but with where I stand on the social ladder, I may need some VR goggles myself to experience that. (Please invite me to your parties. I'll gladly bring chips.)
