Goodbye Tomorrow "The Way" [Official Video]

Lenny Kravitz, Grace Jones, Lauryn Hill, Lion Babe, Thundercat, SZA & More Rock The Afropunk Festival 2015 in Brooklyn, NY.

Yeah, so this is pretty dope. Chicago outfit, Goodbye Tomorrow, continue to bring that creativity with their latest video, which is more like a mini-movie, “The Way.” I suppose to some this may come off as sci-fi, but lasers aside it’s a fairly accurate interpretation of the type of society we’re living in. You can find “The Way” on Goodbye Tomorrow’s new LP, Goodbye Tomorrow: A Journey Through The Mind of a Non Believer. Goodbye Tomorrow break down the song and video in their own words, below.

We don’t really fuck with question and answer type shit, it kind of makes you feel like you’re takin a test or something, but the concept of the video is the fucking truth…like, that’s the truth, that’s how the world actually is. It’s actually evil motherfuckers that are machine ass niggas that take you and program you. That’s the real truth, every day that shit happens. They wanna tame motherfuckers and put niggas into a box because if we're pre-programmed to be a certain way then it’s easier to control what we’ll think and what we do. Until you see that, there’s no way to stop it, no outside help, it only come from you. That’s what you can take away from the video, song, album, all that. It’s just about the battle for your true self. You can’t never let somebody tell you who you are, what you are, what you can or can’t do, none of that. All the external, worldly, temporary shit is just a trick to get you off the way and shit. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
