Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy has released a video for “Squid Eye.” The clip was directed by Lori Felker, is a lyric video, wading through words and music with flashing images of Bonnie and his titular inspiration, allowing YOUR eye to sight them in their many and varied natural habitats, over which the lyrics are superimposed – so read along, and you can draw your own conclusions about bravery, freedom, agency, heroism, knowledge, transformation and the weight of that ol’ live well lived. Then start honing your karaoke version! Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy and Emmett Kelly, will play a run of dates with Jonathan Richman and Tommy Larkins, starting March 3rd, in Bloomington, Indiana.

From Drag City: “Squid Eye” in audio and visual forms is a spirited and colorful bop through the real stuff of existence, juxtaposing philosophic conundrums and heights of terror with acts of folly and childish abandon in the name of everyday survival. Confronting all these things, we become who we are. No one said it would be easy – but our Bonnie is here to help. Watch above and draw a copy of I Made A Place close to you for further listens. It’s out now – hurry and get it into your mind, body and soul for the rest of time. When the grid finally goes down, you’ll be glad you did.
