Kevin Martin of Candlebox, honoring their musical legacy with never-before-seen clips of late founding guitarist, Wayne Swinny, on stage and in the studio.
On creating this music video, Saliva vocalist Bobby Amaru shares "'Horizon' holds the deepest meaning for me on this record. Working with Wayne during the writing process was nothing short of surreal. He improvised most of the solos and layers in just one take, bringing an incredible sense of emotion and depth to the song. The lyrics speak to change, hope, and offering guidance even in the toughest times, a reminder of belonging, no matter how lost or alone someone may feel. After Wayne's passing, this song took on an even more profound significance for me. Having Kevin Martin on the track added an entirely new dimension. I've been a fan of Candlebox forever, and it was truly an honor to have him be part of such a personal & meaningful song." (continue)
