Paramore have released a new music video for ‘Thick Skull’, taken from their 2023 album ‘This Is Why’ – the video was directed by Turnstile’s frontman Brendan Yates and it serves as a sequel to their ‘This Is Why’ video. Singer Hayley Williams offered an explanation about the meaning of the video’s “ill-fated van ride.”
“I can’t remember a time I didn’t want to be in a band. I knew not joining forces with similarly crazed people might mean I’d never be brave enough to create things and even if I did, I may never risk sharing them. Selfish? Maybe. Or Lonely? Maybe to ‘leave the house’ is a metaphor for risking true vulnerability. And just like a house can be metaphor, so can a band. Paramore has been the vehicle by which me and my friends have learned our toughest lessons. It has kept up close and it has nearly killed us. You also have these metaphors in your life: What holds you back-what gives you courage-what force compels you to grow even when it’s uncomfortable or embarrassing” says Hayley.
