Budderside - Things We Do feat. MUSYCA Music Video

This is an evocative animated lyric video for the deeply personal track “Things We Do”, which features MUSYCA Children’s Choir and covers the trials and tribulations of dealing with addiction. Vocalist/guitarist Patrick Stone shares: “‘Things We Do’ is a firsthand walk through addiction, the loss of a dear friend and the hypocritical, empty promise of getting high.

Half of this song was constructed during my darkest days of crystal meth and heroin addiction, pouring my heart out to the universe over the death of West Arkeen, writer for Guns an’ Roses he wrote The Garden, It’s So Easy and otherr, my friend and fellow band member. Fast forward into 13 years of sobriety, watching the Musyca children’s choir file into NRG studios to record their gospel to this was nothing short of a miracle. It’s insane that my cruelest and most vile days could also lead to a day so glorious. I’m so grateful I made it, not only out alive, but larger than life.
