DEAR-GOD Premieres "Buck" Music Video
Published Oct 28, 2020
Robert Ortiz, more commonly known in the music scene as DEAR-GOD, has released the accompanying music video for his recent experimental single "Buck."With the help of some of their friends, the Brampton native and his sister have directed all of DEAR-GOD's music videos, adding that extra '80s grunge feel to each one.
The artist explained in a statement:
This song has a lot to do with self sabotage and trying to be someone you're not. To counter that idea, I wanted to make a video that was about freedom and finding a safe haven. This video is about pulling kids out of their cuffs and leading them to liberty. All kids today are struggling to find their true selves in a world of superficiality and constant oversocialization. It's very easy to fall into the deep end.
At the beginning of the "Buck" music video, you hear a voicemail recording, which is a genuine voicemail left on 1-844-4DEARGOD. The number was set up for the release of the single, and DEAR-GOD encouraged fans to call in and simply explain "How 2 B Dope as Fuck." Thoroughly appreciating this response by a young fan, Ortiz decided to incorporate it into the song.
DEAR-GOD's upcoming EP 1-844-4DEARGOD is coming out via Terrible/Dine Alone.
