When it comes to creating a vibe for a music video, many artists struggle to find a happy medium between creatively fresh and boringly stagnant. But with a choice video filter, a pair of trusty Birkenstocks, and some sweet dance moves Sweet and Lonely, the solo project of Minneapolis musician and producer Nick Elstad, managed to strike that exact balance. The song itself is a bubbly and plucky flavor of vintage-style pop and the video portrays that feeling perfectly with the almost home-video aesthetic throughout. The lyrics “We were young, we were young, we were young; run around, run around while you can” harken to the nostalgia that you feel while Nick grooves over a disco ball while holding his guitar and swaying back and forth. As the video closes, shots of a girl with her dog on a front porch play over the lyrics “When you coming home?”, perfectly encapsulating the by-gone happiness of the melody. The entire video has an immediate vibe that grabs you and takes you for a ride in Elstad’s world while he serenades with a song that will fit easily onto your 2021 Summer playlists.
“Crawling Home When the Morning Comes is about indulging in nostalgia, long nights with friends, and allowing yourself to make some mistakes along the way. With the strangeness and solitude of 2020, writing this song allowed me to daydream about how things once were and how distant some of those old memories feel. By the end of the song, I'm sort of pleading for the normalcy we've learned to live without but still miss, ‘When ya coming home, when ya coming over?’” - Sweet and Lonely
