The
talent involved in creating the song and video is amazing. Drake
Mefestta discusses what it was like working with all the talent on this
song, "A book unto itself is required to give the worthy
amount of praise to each talent that bled themselves into this. This
song journeyed around the world both in music as well video alike. Regardless
of future accolades DiAmorte may achieve, still I see myself as a
black-clad teenager with a stock keyboard and rather insane dream. To
then presently work directly with individuals I once listened to and
previously inspired by in younger years is a joy without measure. I
myself, am nothing more that part of something far greater than myself,
collectively carried by those I’m privileged to call colleges and even
more-so, friends and family. All the imagination means little if a
skillful hand cannot articulate and translate. It is my hope the music
will speak to the talent and collective efforts more vividly than
anything I can produce. For all those that contributed towards this mad endeavor, thank you for making a fool’s dream a worthwhile reality."
DiAmorte
has caught the eye of Blackie Lawless, legendary founder and lead
singer of W.A.S.P., "This is seriously impressive. There’s a ton of eye
candy. The guy’s in it have star power."
