AC/DC Premieres New Music Video for “Realize”
Australian rock band AC/DC premiered a new music video for “Realize” on January 14, 2021.
The song is included on their seventeenth studio album “Power Up”, which was released last November for the first time in six years.
The video was filmed in black-and-white and through fisheye lens in a rehearsal studio. Directed by Clemens Habicht and Josh Cheuse.
Lead guitarist Angus Young wrote the song with his brother Malcolm Young, who passed away in 2017.
Angus Young said, “We spent a fair bit of time on it. It was another strong idea that he had. For me, I knew how much he really liked it. I remember when we originally were writing it, the effort that he put in and how he built it up. The thing is, I remember we had the music side of it together, how we wanted to do it. And he gave me his hook idea, the chorus, When the gave me the verse idea, of how he wanted the lyric, he sang it to me roughly. And I heard it, and it stuck in my head all day. And I just kind of thought, How clever is he? He just comes up with something. It was one of those things where I kept repeating it and repeating it in my head.”- ga5qfM2-kog

He continued, “Sometimes I used to think, 'I don't know where he pulls these ideas from.' For him, a song wasn't a combination of riffs and hooks and that. For him, he just had a kind of natural gift. ... Whenever he created a song, the parts would all come together — lyrics, music and even kind of the dynamic of it. ... So it was a never a case with the two of us [where we] just settled for the chords you first hit or something. You went through all the different angles with him. ... Say you were doing it at that tempo or a different way, sometimes we may even go back to another route and go, 'Okay, try it from another perspective.' With this one, though, he had it just so clear, and it stuck with me.”- source : Rolling Stone
