The excellent new single ‘Not Drowning But Waving’ has a video that was created and directed by the band themselves.
Spring Offensive guitarist and video creator/ director Matt Cooper states “The video takes the song’s narrative beyond the central event, investigating the burden and consequences of guilt; the main character’s reenactment of the drowning by wearing the dead man’s clothes and filling the bathroom with things from the beach, could stem from this or from a desire to experience what it is like for the victim”. You can watch the video for yourself, here:

Here’s the video for your delight. Listen carefully to the lyrics…we’ve all felt like this!

“ALL I NEED… is just a couple of hundred- It should keep me for a few weeks…… I’m like a child to be asking.
(WORRY, FILL MY HEART) How’d I end up in a job like this?
(WORRY, FILL MY HEART) Maybe tomorrow, I’ll go ahead and quit it!!!”
