Music video shot, directed & edited by Carly Emerick. 
A Fading Brunette™ Film, LLC.

Film footage was shot on Wednesday, September 7th, 2016 on location at Century III Mall, in West Mifflin, Pennsylvania.

Theme: Desolate footage of Nick in abandoned spaces.

Carly used true vintage 1986 Special Effects Filters by Polaroid Spectra System during filming. (Including the Red Center Spot Filter 'F102', the Multi-Image 3 Filter 'F104' and the Multi-Image 5 Filter 'F105'.) These filters can be scene being removed from the camera lens at the 3:37 mark, to prove that this effect wasn't done with modern day plug-ins. 
 
Some fun facts: 
"Century 3 Mall opened in 1979. It was a booming and happening place in the 1980's and into the mid 1990's. It is now considered a "dead mall" and has very few stores left inside that are in operation. We did try to film some video footage inside the mall but were stopped by mall security and were told that we were not allowed to film inside the mall without prior written consent. It all worked out though to our advantage as we got some pretty cool usable outside footage. I remember going to that mall as a kid and always felt that the parking lot garage architecture was awesome. (If not a little scary.) I didn't realize until adulthood just how strange and unique it was. It was a good place to start filming."  ~ Carly Emerick

More about the music video:
"It's creamy and dreamy with purple and pink hues and it looks like it was shot on real film. The video opens with Nick running and closes with Nick walking. It's an artistic metaphor to represent that the actor is no longer running from himself. Nick was, as always, a dream to work with. I love this music video. I am very proud of it." ~ Carly Emerick

lyrics

“Awakening” 
© 2016 MRIX MUZIK (ASCAP) Juno Dreams Music (SOCAN)
All Rights Reserved. Words & Music by 
Carly Emerick, Hoyt Emerick & Juno Dreams

Verse One: 
I want a love that will consume me
So magical that it transcends the hands of time
A crystal clear divine intention
With a look in my eyes, you could read my mind

Lead In:
Passion ignites an eternal flame
Oil on canvas in a golden frame
I want a love, I want a love
Booming and loud like the sound of thunder
knowing just when to pull me up from under
I want a love, I want a love

Chorus: 
The love I've always tried to find
is awakening from deep inside, I feel it
awakening, awakening, awakening 
awakening, awakening, awakening 

Verse Two: 
I want to melt away the hours
A cerebral evolution of the conscious mind
The bridge to paradise, majestic
Where destiny, time and fate collide

Lead In 2:
Passion ignites an eternal flame
Oil on canvas in a golden frame
I want a love, I want a love
Adulation for so long I've craved
Titanium bands with our names engraved
I want a love, I want a love

(Repeat Chorus)

Bridge: 
I feel it awaken, I feel it awaken
I feel it awaken, I feel it awaken

(Repeat Chorus) 

Ad-lib: 
Na na na, na-na na na, na na na oh yeah! (x4)

Verse One: 
I need to find a hottie with a seriously slammin' body 
Someone that looks exactly like you, under the midnight blue 
Here's to tomorrows hangover, let's get up and start over 
Let's take a chance on a new romance, 
hey baby I know you just wanna dance

They're dancing on the street tonight, 
We're turning up the heat tonight 
Tonight, tonight, tonight, woo oh oh oh ooh tonight

Don't need an invitation to live your life like your on vacation 
And we came to do what's never been done revved up and ready for fun 
Here's to a new beginning, a dream that we just started living 
So kiss me sweet, eat to the beat 
Hey baby let me sweep you right off of your feet

We're emotion in motion and we're picking up speed, oh - ooo 
Tonight, tonight we've earned the right, Let's make it all happen tonight

Composing again.

I finally composed my first instrumental piece of music since Prince passed. It's been hard to find inspiration in a world without him. I felt the spark today and just ran with it. I was sure to put a little disco-funk in this pop production as a nod to him. Now Hoyt and I just need to compose some super fly lyrics and vocal melodies to fit this R&B dance jam! xoxo ~ Carly

Working Hard Today!

Working hard today on a song titled Awakening. It's an original synthwave ballad that we co-wrote with Juno Dreams. It's loaded with gorgeous imagery, beautiful melodies, heart felt harmony vocals and has almost a futuristic atmospheric backdrop.
If it sounds like I'm describing a painting, it's because it's almost like one. It's like a painting come to life. A real work of art!
Can't wait to share it with you! Very proud of it. xoxo ~ Carly

Hello friends! Being in an indie synthpop band in 2016 is really exciting! Nick, Hoyt and I have been very busy in the studio recording new tracks that are being considered for our upcoming full-length album, Powers Activate! ~ Carly 
In other news, we have two new songs that will be out soon.

The first inline is a song called, Tonight! The track is produced by Dutch record producer, Matt Pop. His Euro-EDM-House fusion makes this one a real win for us. We are confident that this new song will song be a favorite of yours and on heavy rotation! The song is about learning to "live your life like your on vacation". With any luck, it will be a hit for us!

Second in line, is a song that we composed with Canadian producer Juno Dreams! It's called 'Awakening'. The track is an easy standout for us as well. It has a strong emotional core and is about a spiritual awakening of sorts. It's about learning to love yourself and connecting with other people.

So yeah, on that note, we want to thank you for staying connected with us! We are proud to be making music that you enjoy!

Big love, Candy Apple Blue

More music coming! xoxo
