REVOLVER What is the song about?
PHIL LIPSCOMB "Release Me" is a song about remorse for one's actions and wanting to undo that which cannot be undone, whether it's an action or some words spoken in anger. Once it's out there, you can't take it back no matter how much you might want to. My favorite line from the song that best expresses this sentiment comes in the bridge; "I've let down what I care for most, it's hypocritical, and unforgivable."

How does the video relate to the song?
As you'll see in the video, the main two characters have done very bad things. The tie in to the song comes from their guilt and remorse and wanting to be released from their sins.

Who directed the video?
Eric Richter directed our video. He's the main video guy at Victory Records and he's done our last two videos. Great to work with and he has an amazing team of people that work with him.

What was the most difficult part of working on this video?
This was our easiest video to shoot. The hardest part was getting our equipment up and down a ridiculous amount of stairs in the building we were working in, but other than that, the band's portion of the video took only six or seven hours...and the dedicated crew did most of the heavy lifting.

What was the most fun part?
Shooting a video generally isn't all that fun. It's not exactly backbreaking work but it's repetitive and time consuming. The fun part is seeing how it all looks afterward. You have all these cameras filming and re-filming different shots and angles and you have no idea what it's really going to look like when it's all said and done. In addition, for convenience sake, the entire storyline was shot without the band being there, so it was really cool to see how the video treatment on paper turned into reality. I'm not just kissing our director's ass when I say "Release Me" is my favorite video we've ever done. Eric did a fantastic job.

Taproot have been around for over a decade. How has the band’s approach towards making music videos changed?
The biggest change has been budgets. Over the years with the changes in the music industry, video budgets have become smaller and smaller - yet with the advances in technology, you can still make great looking videos without using a ton of money. As for our approach, we've always tried to get on the same page as the director and come up with a video that is visually appealing. If you look at our past videos, they've always been less about story and more about image and energy. "Release Me" is the first time we've also managed to squeeze in a fairly concrete storyline.
