British singer-songwriter Saint Harison has shared the new video for his track, “more weed, less friends.” The song was solely written and produced by Saint and appears on his debut EP, lost a friend, which is out now. The Teeeezy C-directed video invites the viewer further into Saint’s world and sees him deliver a stripped back, poignant performance. In true Saint style, the music takes center stage, and the combined visual elements couple up perfectly as he takes a moment to reflect on relationships that have come and gone.
Speaking about the video, Saint Harison reveals, “‘more weed, less friends’ was such a fun song to write for me. I was sat in my room at my piano and was just listening to old Disney songs. Ever since Banksy opened ‘Dismaland’ in 2015 I’ve always been so inspired by the juxtaposition of escapism and reality. I wanted the song to feel classic, but also real, so I just started writing about how lonely I felt at that time.”
“more weed, less friends” is the concluding track lifted from lost a friend, released in May – a deeply honest and moving project that sees the rising musician bare all. Home to Saint’s captivating vocals and strikingly relatable songwriting, the project is a space to join Saint as he navigates, heartbreak, self-discovery and above all else, all the independence and freedom it brings.
Fresh off his first ever headline shows in his native UK, which included 2 SOLD OUT shows in London and Southampton, and with US headline dates to be announced very soon, next month, Saint Harison will make his live festival debut, performing at the Lights On Festival in Mountain View, CA. Taking place September 16 and 17 at the Shoreline Festival Grounds, Saint will join an exciting lineup curated by GRAMMY® Award-winning artist H.E.R., with performances confirmed from Jazmine Sullivan, PARTYNEXTDOOR, Alina Baraz, Smino, Syd, Arya Starr, FLO and more. Tickets are available now.
The release of the “more weed, less friends” video follows the video for ‘lost a friend’ also taken from his debut EP. Eagle-eyed fans will notice that Saint has brought his EP artwork to life, as he gets the track title tattooed on his arm. In true Saint style, the music is front and center, and the combined visual elements couple up perfectly as he details a recent heartbreak.
