Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne appear in the new video from British singer Yungblud. The clip for the track "The Funeral" begins with a scene featuring Ozzy standing behind a raised coffin in which Yungblud is lying, and we see the Prince Of Darkness looking around and saying: "Hang on, is this a fucking funeral? Where the fuck is everybody?"
"I'd spent a lot of time in the last 18 months grappling with who I really want to be," Yungblud said. "I've honestly just felt like a bit of a hypocrite lately. I'd spent the past four years telling people to be unapologetically themselves and to not care about what others think and realized that was something I needed to tell myself. I felt a lot of pressure, a lot of insecurity, a lot of questioning myself. But then I wrote this song and it distilled for me what this next phase in my life, not just my career, was gonna be about. The lyrics are literally me listing off everything I'm insecure about because if you identify with what you don't like about yourself and own it, no one can say anything that you haven't already said to yourself. You become bulletproof."
He continued: "This song's about owning those insecurities and just being fucking fearless. It's about ego, death, rebirth and fucking dancing on your grave. Inviting everyone to join you, but if you're on your own and you're the only one dancing — that's fine too.
"For this new music, I looked at myself in the mirror and said, 'You ain't gonna be around forever. How do you want to be remembered? And if you were hit by a car tomorrow and you could sing one more thing before you become worm food, would this song be it?' Truly, the answer is yes. I would take this to my grave."
"The Funeral" marks the 24-year-old's first new music since last year's "Fleabag" single.
Yungblud, otherwise known as Dominic Harrison, began teasing the new song last Saturday (March 5), when he shared an image of a handwritten message "To whom this may concern. For those I let down I'm sorry, for those who let me down, fuck you but I forgive you. You are cordially and graciously invited to my funeral."
As an artist and songwriter, Yungblud lives to stir up the raw energy of rebellion. With his frenetic take on alt-pop equally inspired by punk, hip-hop, and U.K. garage, Yungblud makes brilliant use of his breakneck flow and tongue-in-cheek attitude, delivering pointed lyrics without ever getting heavy-handed.
Born in Yorkshire, Harrison first picked up a guitar at age two and began writing his own songs when he was ten. At 16 he moved to London, then spent the next few years struggling to define his musical vision. But after reconnecting with the firebrand artists that first compelled him to make music — THE CLASH, ARCTIC MONKEYS, N.W.A. — he felt unstoppably inspired. That inspiration lead to the eventual release of his 2017 debut, "King Charles".
Since then, Yungblud has created his own blend of alternative rock: poetry, guitar-hooks and break-beats with a fierce determination to make a dent in pop-culture. Startlingly bold yet emotionally grounded, he drops a grenade on listeners and imprints himself in their minds.(Source: www.blabbermouth.net)
