| | September 13, 2026 (Los Angeles, CA) // Scot “Little” Bihlman goes solo to bring “Heavy Head” to the wild with an awesome music video. Standing alone with his acoustic guitar, Bihlman plays against the backdrop of thick forest and mountain ranges in the distance, while the camera continues to circle around him and zooms out into panoramic shots. The end product is nothing less than an ode to the experience of being alone, looking out from our little worlds into the bigger one outside.
This scene of a songwriter alone in the forest with only a guitar to accompany him is a familiar one from folk music, Americana, and blues rock genres, where nature often wrestles with what cannot be escaped. However, “Heavy Head” changes the scope of this familiar scenario. While Bihlman feels alone, he’s never quite by himself. The camera zooms out from Bihlman’s lone form to the vast forests sprawling across mountain ranges toward the horizon. |

That feeling of being swallowed up by the expansiveness of a great beyond is well suited to the song’s main theme. Feeling the weight of one’s own burdened life is what gives “Heavy Head” its namesake, The woods become not just a background to the song but also a place of great size, apathy, life, and persistence in spite of how heavy the millstone one may carry. Seen through this lens, Bihlman’s singing is intimate, not insignificant.
This contradiction, however, is where the video “Heavy Head” locates its beauty. There is one man thinking all alone, but at the same time, it never stops to remind us that he is part of something greater than himself. Through acoustic guitar, an open wilderness and cinematic landscapes of America, the song gets its visual vocabulary inspired by that same aesthetic tradition and able to transcend it. To Bihlman, “Heavy Head,” with its implied weight, is not the whole story. Sometimes perspective may be gained from looking away and recognizing the distance. |
