Waiting For Smith Drops New Music Video for “Heal”
Amsterdam-based British singer-songwriter Waiting For Smith has dropped a new music video for “Heal” directed by Martin Sweers.
The song is included on his latest EP “Trying Not To Try”, which was released on November 25, 2022.
The track was written by Waiting For Smith and Dane Etteridge, who also produced it.
For the video for “Heal”, Waiting For Smith sat in a studio meditating for 8 hours throughout the day, while out on a nearby street passers-by were asked the question: What is it that you would like to heal? They were then invited to write their answers on his body. People from all nationalities, all backgrounds and around 17 languages were involved. The idea was that a non-judgemental and still presence would present the perfect canvas to be written on, and by being listened to and heard these volunteers were able to let go of what they didn’t need.- The new EP comprises 6-track, produced and co-written by Dane Etteridge.
Waiting For Smith said of the EP, “Over the past few years I’ve been on a real search to explore my mind while pursuing music, beginning with a year in bed after an accident. I read and watched everything I could to be inspired. I tried many forms of therapy and healing in search of a calmer approach to life's ups and downs - realising I couldn’t control my life but I could control how I reacted to it. The EP came out of those early discoveries of philosophy, meditation and The Tao Te Ching. This all helped to find out what I was looking for: Ask for it, and then let go of the outcome. And that is the meaning of Trying Not To Try”. -
