WATCH: “Big” by Rainn Burns

Rainn Byrns unveils a fresh take on his indie-pop staple “Big” with an evocative lyric video animated by tattoo artist Charles Hall aka @charlie.cantdraw. This visual reimagining of the track, lifted from Rainn’s debut album New In Town, marries introspective lyricism with striking animation, offering a new layer to an already poignant song.

Serving as a raw, self-deprecating commentary on the trials of navigating life in a sprawling city while grappling with the disparity between personal aspirations and the success of others, Rainn’ lyricism cuts to the heart of urban disillusionment, capturing the feeling of being a small fish in a vast, competitive pond. 

Charles Hall’s animation brings Rainn’s lyrics to life with a dynamic visual narrative. His excitement about translating his tattoo artistry into animation is palpable, as he effectively bridges the gap between static art and moving images to enhance the song’s emotional depth.
