Legendary singerMichael Monroehas premiered the video for"Goin' Down With the Ship", the latest single from his 2015-released studio album,Blackout States. The video arrives just asMonroeand his regular touring band hit US shores for a two-week run of shows.
"The song is not necessarily about sailing or seamanship as such,"Monroeexplains."It's basically about us getting on the tour bus and hitting the road with our band. Ville Juurikkala, who shot the videos for 'Ballad of the Lower East Side', 'Stained Glass Heart' and 'Old King's Road' has done this new one, too. It was pretty easy to make and includes some footage shot by the band while we were on tour.
"I think the video has a good vibe and we're all happy with the way it turned out. Hope you enjoy it!"
With all that in mind, it's time to go down with the ship!https://youtu.be/23KAL0fft7w
