00:00I didn't know, I didn't know I'd be wasting my time
00:05Spending my twenties on you
00:10The video, it's...
00:13I wanted it to be something cinematic and simple
00:17Not overproduced, not overcomplicated
00:20Because I don't want to take away from the song
00:22So this is just supposed to add to the world of the song
00:25So I just wanted something just easy, simple, emotive
00:29And performative
00:31And just storytelling, that's it
00:34I love a simple video though
00:36I'm not a big, or I try not to be a big production guy anymore
00:39Honestly, I'm always just scanning for directors
00:43Who I think would be able to articulate the vision
00:46That I'm trying to portray storytelling-wise
00:49And I've seen some of his work
00:51And I've seen the moods, the coloring
00:53The way he captures even just black skin in general
00:58It just adds a...
01:01I don't know, it adds a certain soul to it as well
01:05So I've seen all of it, watched all of his work
01:07And I was instantly a fan
01:09So I knew right away
01:11I spent my twenties on you
01:16Thought I was learning myself
01:20I was just learning you
01:23This song is called Twenties
01:26It's really a song that's going to evoke
01:29I don't want to say regret
01:30Because I don't want to feel like I regret someone
01:33But it does tell the story of
01:35When you feel like you put so much time and energy into something
01:38But to no avail
01:40You get nothing out of it
01:41Or you could have spent that time into something else
01:46And for me, it was a vital time in my life
01:49Like your twenties is...
01:51That's when you're learning yourself
01:54You're learning what energizes you, what drains you
01:58You learn even what you want to be in the future
02:01It's just a really learned time of your life
02:05But if you spend that time distracted by someone else
02:08Or catering to them
02:10You never even get to develop yourself
02:12So by the time later on, you have to start from scratch
02:15So the song is pretty much just an ode to that
02:19I won't say any names, but just to let them know
02:22I might have wasted this time
02:25An album
02:26An album and a tour, of course
02:29So even when I say the word album, I get lost in it
02:33It's really album time
02:35It's album time
02:36And tour time
