Following the release of their new single "Waiting for Superman" last month, rock band DAUGHTRY unveils its heroism-themed music video on Thursday, October 24. But instead of the cape-wearing, high-flying superhero, the Shane Drake-directed visuals features a regular Joe's heroic acts, saving the lives of people who find themselves in common everyday dangers.
From warding off a woman from getting hit by a speeding bicycle, chasing after a purse-snatching robber, preventing a guy from jumping off a building, to saving a young lady from bullies, the plaid shirt-wearing citizen does it all. Sadly, despite his efforts, he doesn't get appreciated for his life-saving deeds and even gets roughed up by the police in the process of helping out the victims.
Besides the storyline being a perfect match for the superhero-titled track, the four-and-a-half-minute clip likewise resonates the message of the song, that while "waiting for Superman," ordinary everyday life offers some unlikely heroes in our midst. "She's waiting for Superman...To lift her up and take her anywhere/ Show her love and climbing through the air/ Save her now before it's too late tonight."
Co-written by frontman Chris Daughtry, "Waiting for Superman" is the first single off his band's forthcoming studio album "Baptized" set to be released on November 19. Its music video was shot all in just one day and features the lead singer along with actors Thomas Drekker as the chivalrous lead character and Patrick Muldoon as the suicidal guy.
