Experiencing Interruptions?

Devil Said Roam

Usually in western movies there are good guys and bad guys. In this short film the line is blurred which is often true in reality. Who is good and who is bad? There’s almost always a story behind someone’s motive. I want to force people to look at their own narrative.
This song is meant to be interpreted by the listener however they like. However it fits into their own reality. For me, it’s the story of how I battled my demons and at one point was ready to give in to them. But something pulled me out of the depths and pushed me to keep going. There was almost a voice in my head that said, “Your story does not end here.”

We’ve all dealt with some kind of “demon”, be it addiction, anxiety, fear, self-doubt, depression, a toxic relationship, whiskey, food, etc. ‘Devil Said Roam’ tells the story of a woman who was ready to give in to her demons, but not even the Devil itself would take her soul. So she had no choice but to roam this earth to find herself. Have you found yourself yet? If not… keep looking.

The inspiration for this music video came from Sergio Leone’s western films.

Director Biography - Megan Morrison, Tofik Aliev

Megan Morrison is a Miami-based American singer, songwriter and fire performer. If Lana Del Rey, Matt Bellamy (Muse) and Sebastian Bach (Skid Row) had a love child, the product would be Megan’s voice. Her style of singing ranges from sultry sweet to in-your-face battle cries and the songs she writes have a purpose. As a spokesperson in the recovery community, Megan has redirected a lot of her emotions and life experiences into her songwriting. Her hope is to raise awareness about mental health and addiction by sharing her story and delivering an encouraging message through her music.

Megan began her music career at a very young age while growing up in Maine and Massachusetts. She studied classical voice performance at the University of Massachusetts Amherst and Hunter College in NYC which led her to pursue a Broadway musical theatre career. It wasn't until she started singing in rock/punk bands on the side that Megan discovered her true passion. She has focused her career on rock music, as well as diving into to the electronic world.

Megan has been widely recognized for her skills as a singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, fire performer and model. Her fire skills led her to guest appearances in music videos by Pitbull, Elvis Crespo, Fuego and onstage with pop singer Jessie J.
