It is a neat story song, filled with conversational lyrics. “Can we go back, color in the blanks, fill in the cracks, back in our living room, go back, we’ll rebuild the frames, put it in the past back in our living room,” Schmidt sings, in his atmospheric voice, as Dustin Belt plays the lead guitar.
Wesley Quinn directed their song’s steamy music video, which features a cameo from Schmidt’s girlfriend Micaela. The video conveys the message that the living room is a dwelling place for watching television, eating dinner, arguing, having conversations, drinking wine, writing and playing music on acoustic guitars, dancing in their socks, and generally, having a good time. It is rich in symbolism, especially with the sun and rain, which depicts moods.
The Verdict
Overall, Kendall Schmidt and Dustin Belt delight on “Living Room.” It is another keeper from Heffron Drive, and it garners an A rating. They are not afraid to showcase their vulnerability as recording artists on this soothing tune. It ought to be a hit when they play it live for their fans on their international tour this year.
