Today sees the official release of a brand new music video from AL BAIRRE for their latest single entitled, BUNGALOW.
The lyrics to the song were written by Nic after a girl took him to a bungalow one night. He also recently moved to a beach location full of bungalows, so the title seemed fitting as a recurrent theme in his life.
The inspiration behind the song was the fact that all people grow up and things become serious at some point in life. Nic describes his encouragement to write the song as bit of a depression concerning his relationships and thoughts on existentialism, and this song was a kind of ‘Wake up you selfish loser, life is pretty alright in the here and now!‘ to himself.
Bungalow also features the signature Al Bairre elements of high energy and the beautiful voices of the twins in the bridge.
The video was shot by Deon van Zyl and directed by Daniel Morcos. The band met up with Daniel, who took the track home with him, and came up with the concept a few days later.
“Naturally we said yes. Nicholas loves doing hand stands, Kyle loves dancers and The Twins love abs and ripped triceps.”
The video was shot over the course of two days in a gymnasium in Khayelitsha outside Cape Town. Present for the shoot were also a professional stunt team, a pack of body builders and various dancers, all who contributed to the scenes in the video.
“The song is very sassy and for that reason we had to make a video that equaled the level of sass. That’s why Kyle never smiles and we have martial arts stunt men doing flips. Nothing is sassier.”
Fans can look forward to bodybuilders, fight scenes, gymnastics and outrageous hairdos – a song everyone can relate to and a video everyone can enjoy.
