In Their Words:Ā “This video was made by those wild guys from Neighborhoods Apart, Joshua Britt and Neilson Hubbard. Josh had this concept heād always wanted to do that ‘Weirdo’ seemed to fit nicely. Ultimately the video/song is a quick prick to the balloon that suggests that in order to connect with other people we need to present these shiny-flawless images socially and hide our odd nuances under a bushelā¦ But what all that green-screen, horse-hockey magic really does is make us feel isolated. And like little worms that donāt measure up. The video is a trumpetās call to embrace the fact that, at our nitty gritty, we’re all just a couple of strange brained-lumpy bodies in skin-tight suits plucking on banjos and mandolins in front of someoneās garage in the middle of the afternoon. More or less.” — Bryan Simpson and Matt Menefee, The Golden Age
