Music Video: Neon Trees "Feel Good"


Neon Trees knows how to throw their own pop-colored pool party in their new music video, "Feel Good."

Shot on location at the uber-groovy Saguaro hotel in Palm Springs, CA, the pure-pop video is a high-energy shindig complete with patio dancing under neon colored skies, all wrapped up in a retro-tinged package.

As has often been the case, pop music lyrics can capture our prevailing societal current, and frontman Tyler Glenn's message is clear.

“Thematically it's essentially me saying 'enough' of feeling bad all the time. Late last year I was waking up each day, but I couldn't wait to get back to bed. It took so much effort to just feel ok. I turned to music like I always do, and wrote "Feel Good" at a time when I was feeling pretty low. I think beyond who's right and who's wrong about everything going on in the world, there's a human desire in all of us to feel ok, to 'Feel Good.' That's one truth everyone can agree on."

"Feel Good" marks Neon Trees' first new music in more than two years.

New Music: Neon Trees "Feel Good"


Randy Report fave Neon Trees has released their highly anticipated new single, "Feel Good."

This marks the first new music from the pop/rock band in two years, and clearly, it was worth the wait.

The tune was penned by Neon Trees' Tyler Glenn and produced by Captain Cuts (Walk The Moon, Grouplove, Chainsmokers) at their Los Angeles studio.

"Thematically it's essentially me saying 'enough' of feeling bad all the time," Says Glenn.

"Late last year I was waking up each day, but I couldn't wait to get back to bed. It took so much effort to just feel ok. I turned to music like I always do, and wrote "Feel Good" at a time when I was feeling pretty low. I think beyond who's right and who's wrong about everything going on in the world, there's a human desire in all of us to feel ok, to 'FEEL GOOD'. That's one truth everyone can agree on."

Lauded by Rolling Stone as "a New Wave pop powerhouse," Neon Trees first arrived in 2006 and instantly attracted acclaim for their colorful, multi-layered mainstream pop style as evidenced on 2010's debut album, Habits. The album reached #1 on Billboard's "Heatseekers Albums" chart following the breakthrough success of its lead single, "Animal."

"Feel Good" certainly sits comfortably in the Neon Trees song cycle with its infectious melodic hook and affirmative lyrics ("Hands up, touch the sky/everybody on your knees and testify/I was searching for the truth/I think they misunderstood/that the truth is, honey, I just want to feel good"). Elaine Bradley's fantastic work on the drums is killer.

Music Video: Neon Trees "Songs I Can't Listen To" Featuring Oscar Winner Dustin Lance Black

Dustin Lance Black with Neon Trees frontman Tyler Glenn

Multi-platinum group Neon Trees dropped their music video for new single "Songs I Can't Listen To" featuring Oscar-winning writer, director, producer, and LGBT rights activist Dustin Lance Black.

Exploring the age-old tale of love gone bad, the chorus shares that situation we've all found ourselves in: “I’ve got a list of songs I can’t listen to/and it’s all because of you.”

Starts out great, but soon, things get broken. And then, of course, they float in the air.
