Today the Nashville based indie-folk duo Great American Canyon Band have shared their new single “You Were The One.” The track comes alongside a music video created through a reworking of the George A. Romero classic “Night of the Living Dead.”

Speaking on the music video the artist says: “‘You did what?’ That was the question posed at around 2 am when Kris presented her video idea for “You Were The One.” Then she showed me, and suddenly, with “You Were The One” playing over George A. Romero’s “Night of the Living Dead,” it’s fear-inducing scenes had transformed into a complex love story. Just beneath the surface of this Zombie cult classic, there was a heart-led intensity that translated into the beauty and physical communication between two people finding and losing each other, all while not knowing what would lie ahead.

Eerie instances of tailor-made scenes began to surface. Lyrics like “Fire in my doorway” paired uncannily with visual equivalents shot 55 years ago. It felt fated that these two pieces of art had found each other. “You Were The One” has always been about those moments in a relationship when each person grapples with their own objective reality, asking themselves what really happened here and whether a repair is possible. And there, in a horror movie classic, our words and song were resurrected.”

GACB’s new music was recorded inside of an unprecedented moment and yet creates an intense sense of time and place that feels declarative and triumphant. The songwriting of Paul and Kris Masson strikes an elegant and impactful balance of tenderness and urgency. The themes and ideas are immersive, even voyeuristic. Such earnestness could be an artistic risk during a complex cultural moment, but the band was never after something perfect, only to be intrinsically fallible.
