"Life is too short. That is what this song is all about. I was really missing my great-grandmother one Christmas Eve a few years ago and decided I would write a song for her to describe how I felt. The finished recording, accompanied by old reel to reel footage of her as well as much of my other paternal family members, became Super 8. Artistically I wanted the final video to be something that I could get lost within and go back to revisit old loved ones in a simpler time well before I was born, and to take a break from the outside world of today. These images to me are like a fossil trapped in amber or a brief moment caught in time and I feel satisfied in getting this song out of my head and creating what I had envisioned musically and visually with Super 8."

Drive me to the ocean
I just wanna drown
Tired of the commotion
But I can’t hear a sound

Lost out in the crowd
I see you when I close my eyes
I still need you around
I still keep your photograph
An aged familiar face
A sweetness I can’t taste
It plays in Super 8

Brittle reels evading
Corroded film unwinds
Ghosts in the T.V.
A moment caught in time
Projections of a place
Its written on my face

Lost out in the crowd
I see you when I close my eyes
I still need you around
I still keep your photograph
An aged familiar face
A sweetness I can’t taste
It plays in Super 8

Lost out in the crowd
I see you when I close my eyes
I still need you around
I still keep your photograph
An aged familiar face
Branded in its place
It plays in Super 8
