Lissie returns with dark country anthem 'Hero' (Video Premiere)
sean by Sean Adams November 4th, 2015

DiS is pleased to premiere the Californian songwriter Lissie's new video, with footage which was shot in 1983, and after writing this song she bought a farm.

'Hero' is taken from Lissie's new album My Wild West, which is out on February 12th 2016, and now available to pre-order.

The Video

About The Track

Here's what Lissie has to say about the track:

"'Hero' is one of those rare songs that came to me all at once. I was at my old house in Ojai, California one evening just getting some things done around the place & it poured out of me! I'd been thinking about duality, Schrödinger's cat, parallel realities & just this general idea of being simultaneously a huge success & failure and what I want my life to look like. Shortly after I bought a farm in NE Iowa, and between tours I am living there!"

About The Video

Of the video, she adds:

"I was introduced to Talain Rayne through mutual friends and just gave him the song & full creative license to create something special! I was so pleased & excited when he sent me this wonderfully bizarre & beautiful video! it represents the song well and I'm thrilled for people to see it!"

Video Credits

Edited by Talain Rayne at Obear Film
Shot by Aldo Staffieri 1983
Talain randomly found the footage online
