"Next Summer" Arrives: Damiano David Trades Rock Edge for Pop Heartache in New Single
If you are expecting another rock anthem think again. "Next Summer" sees Damiano taking a step further into pop territory. This track is less about stadium-rocking energy and more about raw emotion. It opens with Damiano singing "I thought we had something good in our hands" and you instantly know you are in for a vulnerable ride. The song talks about lost love regret and a touch of jealousy all wrapped up in a catchy tune you will be humming all day. That chorus "Call me when he breaks your heart Next Summer" is seriously addictive and full of longing.
Behind the Lyrics: Damiano Explains the Real Meaning of "Next Summer" and It's Deeper Than You Think
So is "Next Summer" just another breakup song? Damiano says there is way more to it than that. He wrote the song last fall in Los Angeles and it was inspired by a moment he actually lived through last summer. He told Billboard that music is his way to "cope with my experiences in life and feelings."
He describes the lyrics as "very simple quite childish" and says that was intentional. He wanted to express "a more intense and complicated feeling in the easiest way possible." Damiano explains the song is about "not dealing with yourself and being stuck in your own limits without really understanding why things happen." It is about "not being able to face our mistakes and instead in a cowardly way wishing that your mistakes could be someone else’s." Heavy stuff right? But that honesty is what makes Damiano's music so compelling.
Music Video Alert: Damiano David Goes to Jail in "Next Summer" Visuals
To go along with the single Damiano also dropped a music video for "Next Summer" and it is pretty dramatic. Directed by Younuts! an Italian directing duo the video finds Damiano in an Italian prison. Yeah you read that right prison. It is not your typical love song video that is for sure.
While the song might sound like it is about a summer romance gone wrong Damiano says the prison setting is meant to represent something deeper. He explains that the video is "an allegory of life" showing "how sometimes we can be prisoners of ourselves our fears our insecurities our inability to change." So that prison is not just a location it is a visual metaphor for being trapped by your own emotions and mistakes. Deep stuff from Damiano as always.
