Video: Joel Jerome, ‘Everybody Wants Somebody’

0

Scenes and friends from Joel Jerome’s Echo Park neighborhood and surrounding environs star in the new video for “Everybody Wants Somebody,” the epic and uplifting seven-minute jam from the album “Psychedelic Thriftstore Folk.” [Stream it here.] Jerome, of course, is Joel Morales, the founding member of Hawthorne pop band who has segued into a new guise as a singer-songwriter, producer and all-around scene guru. Music? Friends? A sense of place? “I have everything I ever really wanted,” Jerome sings, and in the nifty video made by Jacquelinne Cingolani, Karri Bowman and Amberlie Bankoff, which has the feel of old home movies stitched together with some ’60s psychedelic imagery, you feel good about it. The song, with its mood-shifting bridge, organ interlude, guitar solo and oh-so-sweet saxophone, is just about everything you ever really wanted too.
