In We Fall deliver a gripping visual narrative with their video for “Road to Live,” the third release from their new album, Inner Self. Directed by Ricardo Oliveira and filmed at the haunting Sanatório de Valongo in Portugal, the video perfectly complements the song’s intense themes of inner conflict and resilience.
Set against the backdrop of the abandoned sanatorium, the video’s stark visuals mirror the turmoil depicted in the track. The interplay of shadowy corridors and wide-open landscapes creates a sense of both isolation and possibility, enhancing the emotional weight of the story. Ricardo’s direction brings a cinematic quality to the band’s performance, weaving dramatic moments with subtle shifts that keep the viewer engaged.
Drummer Frederico Lopes described the video as an exploration of the “conflict between different personalities” and the battle to overcome dark thoughts. The raw energy of the band’s performance adds authenticity to this message, particularly as the instrumentation builds and crescendos with palpable urgency.
The synergy between the song and the video is a powerful statement on finding strength amid life’s most difficult moments and highlights In We Fall’s ability to blend compelling storytelling with their dynamic sound.
