After having a massive hit with “Home,” Good Neighbours have returned with “The Ripple.” The accompanying joyful and nostalgic video follows a pair of young boys during a milestone swimming lesson with friends. With the boys mimicking a young Oli and Scott, it captures a story of challenge, triumph and ultimately celebration, signifying the power of friendship above all. Overlaid by clips of the present-day pair performing at the same swimming pool, the playful and carefree video is an ode to the feel-good essence that Good Neighbours have come to be known for.
Speaking on the video, the director Alex Lockett says “The video explores the silent emotional battles men often face when submerged by grief or depression. The black brick and the difficulty young Oli faces reaching it, serve as a metaphor for the burdens we carry and the resistance we confront when bringing them to the surface. At its heart, it’s really a celebration of resilience and the importance of connection. It’s about overcoming life’s challenges together, with the right support from those around us. What I love most about the video is that young Oli’s struggle was entirely real for Saber, who played the role. What unfolds on screen as he finally pushes through is completely authentic.”
