American rock band Daughtry is back and highlights a regular Joe's heroic acts in their heroism-themed music video for "Waiting for Superman," the leadoff single from Daughtry's upcoming fourth studio album, "Baptized," will be available next Tuesday via RCA. The rockers are certainly making a killer comeback this year. Led by American Idol alum Chris Daughtry, the rock band are modifying their hard rock sound to a more radio-friendly, electro-pop-influenced, folk-influenced rock sound.
"Waiting For Superman" was inspired by the real life experiences of incredible women. Said Daughtry: "Women everywhere. Moms, daughters, sisters, friends. And I hope the message continues to inspire and be a source of strength." It's the single that takes flight on a soaring hook and intriguing instrumentation, more powerful than a locomotive, and able to leap tall buildings in a single bound. With a more electro-pop sound, "Waiting for Superman" is catchy and relatable to a female audience. Look for the single to carry the band back onto the airwaves just in time to save the day.
The lyrics for "Waiting for Superman" might make fans think about the comic book character, but with this video, it comes into focus that the song is about humanity reaching out to help others. Instead of the cape-wearing, high-flying superhero, the Shane Drake-directed visuals tell a story of a regular Joe's heroic acts, saving the lives of people who find themselves in common everyday dangers while Daughtry on the streets of a major city and in a warehouse performing his smash hit.
From warding off a woman from getting hit by a speeding bicycle, chasing after a purse-snatching robber, preventing a guy from jumping off a building, to saving a young lady from bullies, the plaid shirt-wearing citizen does it all. Sadly, despite his efforts, he doesn't get appreciated for his life-saving deeds and even gets roughed up by the police in the process of helping out the victims. Besides the storyline being a perfect match for the superhero-titled track, the clip likewise resonates the message of the song, that while "Waiting for Superman," ordinary everyday life offers some unlikely heroes in our midst.
