Leif Vollebekk shares a new video directed by Tracy Maurice for the song “Never Be Back“, off his most recent album New Ways that has over 21 million streams worldwide. “I feel I wouldn’t have ever written a song like this without all those long drives spent listening to Nebraska or Ghost of Tom Joad“, Leif tells us. “You know, with all those Springsteen songs where you see the character is hurting and you don’t think he’s going to make it. But then, he says something that surprises you. It catches you off-guard, makes you think to yourself, well maybe he’s going to be alright. He’s always riding that fine line.“
Tracy Maurice, the director, shares with us her creative process: “The video for ‘Never Be Back’ explores the ebb, flow and ephemeral nature of intimacy by juxtaposing performance with liquid nebulas, cosmic swirls, and drifting clouds created by shooting liquid on glass. This analogue technique reflects the beauty of unexpected moments that can occur when you allow yourself to lose control.” The live shots in the video were filmed at the iconic Cinéma L’Amour on Saint-Laurent Boulevard in Montreal.
