DIRECTOR’S NOTES:
Peep and I shot Cry Alone back in May 2017. He originally thought it was going to be a track included on COWYS1, but it ended up fitting better on COWYS2 which inevitably postponed the videos release… Here’s the story: It was around 1AM when I saw Peep on Twitter asking if someone could bring him McDonalds in Berkeley.
I texted him asking what he was doing in town (I was living in the Bay Area at the time) and he told me he’d just finished his show in SF, but that I should come to his hotel and maybe take some photos if I was down.
Ever since I met him, we talked about shooting various videos, but nothing ever came into fruition so I suggested we shoot a music vid that night. He said it was perfect timing cause he’d just recorded a bunch of new music and that we’d pick a song when I got there. After listening to a few different songs and discussing ideas we chose Cry Alone. “It just feels right”, he said. “It’s the only song that fits the energy of the night”.
