While a new batch of contestants battle to become this year's American Idol, the reigning Season 11 champion Phillip Phillips has released a brand new music video for his love themed follow-up single, "Gone, Gone, Gone," the second single from his debut album, "The World from the Side of the Moon." Watch the nostalgic blast of Americana in the video for Phillips' heart warming tune, which celebrates people sticking together in difficult times. Get lost in the American Idol's sun-kissed world of sentimentality.
The 22-year-old singer, known for his guitar-driven tunes and unique vocals, has some issues with his kidneys after being announced the winner of American Idol Season 11, but he has come back strong and his first post-Idol single "Home," has had huge success on the charts, the most successful "Idol" coronation song of all time, thanks to the 2012 London Olympics.
Another rousing folk-rock anthem filled with stompy marching-band beats, chanty choruses, winsome guitars, and declarations of undying loyalty, "Gone, Gone, Gone" is arguably just as catchy as "Home," if not more so. While this endeavor undeniably has a more pop-friendly undercurrent, it continues to evoke his signature Mumford & Sons-esque emotions. "This is just a beautiful love song, but it's not cheesy," Phillips told Yahoo! Music. "I really like how it plays out. It has a serious feel to it, like, 'I'll be at your side, no matter what.' But it doesn't have to be about a girlfriend or boyfriend. It can be about anyone that you love dearly, a family member or something."
Directed by Joseph Toman, the exquisite clip has the same folksy, nostalgic feel of Phillips' music. Shot in a number of places, including Springfield of Missouri, Los Angeles, and Palm Springs of California. “It's a celebration of life, and hopefully something that everyone can find something in to relate to," director explained. It features home movie footage of couples, families and children whose love has persevered in time, highlighting special moments in their lives. There's even a shot of Phillips strumming in what could be the basement of his family's real-life pawn shop. It's generic and it's generically uplifting.
