Bumblefoot - Don't Know Who To Pray To Anymore [Official Video]

“Don’t Know Who to Pray to Anymore” from the Bumblefoot album "Little Brother Is Watching" [lyrics & info below...]

Clocking in at over seven minutes, “Don’t Know Who to Pray to Anymore” is a true return to form for the epic music video format, with storyline footage showcasing characters in various stages of life, from childhood to adult, hitting an emotional 'rock bottom', faced with a life-changing choice.  The stories are left open-ended, so you can ask yourself what choice you would make.

"This song speaks for those that feel lost, betrayed, disillusioned, when we question all we believe in. When we start to lash out, and punish ourselves. This is a song about being in this place, in our own personal purgatory.  We know we need to heal, but we're not ready to let go."

Directed by Vojan Koceic, “Don’t Know Who…” was a massive undertaking, filmed in three countries at 12 locations, including the Western Wall in Jerusalem, and gaining exclusive access to ancient Roman ruins by the Jordanian border, with the distinction of being the only music video to ever have been shot there (filmed by Director of Photography Ami Bornstein). Additional band performances were filmed in Croatia at the Fortress of Klis and the Diocletian Palace (locations seen on the TV show "Game of Thrones"), plus an additional 8 sets and featuring more than 50 actors.

“This video needed to be filmed in locations that have a deep historic and spiritual presence.” says Thal. Additional filming locations included The Grianan of Aileach Ring Fort at a hilltop in Northern Ireland.

LYRICS:
Don't Know Who To Pray To Anymore

Once upon a time a child
Grew up too fast, went runnin' wild
Now he don't know who to pray to anymore

I once thought God was good and kind
Then Mother Nature blew my mind
And left my broken body on the floor
Now I don't know who to pray to anymore

But when the world gets real
And I start to feel
The first thing I do
Is turn to you
And then pull away
Until comes the day
Where I just can't live
And learn to forgive

I've got a song that needs to be sung
But I don't know who to play to anymore

We bet away what's in our hand
And then we're told it was the plan
They say all's fair, but someone's keeping score

I've seen it all, I've seen the lies
False promises for compromise
Fought every battle, but still I lost the war
Now I don't know who to pray to anymore

But when the world gets real
And I start to feel
The first thing I do
Is turn to you
And then pull away
Until comes the day
Where I just can't live
And learn to forgive

I know I've changed
Can't find my way
When all is dark
Or is it my heart
That won't come to the light
I'm bad to myself
As a show for you to see
So maybe you'll agree
That you should have been there more for me

Got an old guitar that needs to be strung
But I don't know who to play to anymore

So why should I still believe
When everyone's out to deceive
And all our dreams get washed back on the shore

And fate will prove to be most cruel
Yet hope remains for the helpless fool
Pawns of selfish right & righteous wrong
No I don't know who to pray to anymore
I don't know who to pray to anymore
