PVRIS Drops New Music Video for “Use Me” featuring 070 Shake
American rock band PVRIS has dropped a new music video for “Use Me”.
The band collaborated with American hip hop recording artist 070 Shake for the song.
The track is the title track of their latest album “Use Me”. The video was directed by Griffin Stoddard.
The band said of the song, “There's harp in here, plus strings. This was one of the songs, along with 'Stay Gold,' which we were fighting really hard to get onto the album. I was watching Euphoria and I just really loved the soundtrack for it. I loved the dynamics between Rue and Jules and just the concept of using a person as your escape or your medicine—whether it's good or bad. You can see it as a really healthy thing or unhealthy, it just depends on the situation. I tend to get very singular and solo in my own life. I almost wrote it as a love letter or a love song from someone else's perspective, and the dialogue or message that I wish someone would be able to speak to me and sing to me. So it was like this weird backwards love song and kind of putting that into the universe. Maybe one day somebody will be able to be that for me and be that person to lean on. But there's a double-sided energy to it. Because you could almost look at the song as a kind of funny, passive-aggressive, ironic message of just saying, 'Just go ahead, use me. Do whatever you need.' It's very empowered. There's also an empowering component to it as well, if you're looking at it from that angle.”- source : Apple Music
