Everything you see was created by hand using 2,250 separate pieces of paper, each printed with a frame of a previously filmed performance video. Each piece of paper was then photographed frame-by-painstaking-frame by an incredible production team.

    LYRICS:
    Kevin wants to hear a pop song
    wants to dance with the girls from the restroom
    Kevin wants to move sideways, wants to move backwards
    Kevin wants to move
    Kevin wants to stand beside me, choose the next record, put on a 70’s tune
    Kevin wants to talk to everyone
    talk to everyone that he knows in the room
    I wanna be unamerican
    I wanna cry at a love song
    I wanna be unamerican
    I wanna cry at a love song
    I wanna be unamerican
    I wanna write you a love song
    I wanna be unamerican
    And I wanna get all the words wrong
    Kevin wants to hear a sad song wants to stay home on Friday, Saturday
    Kevin wants to move to London, wants to see Paris, Kevin wants to move
    Kevin wants to stand alone at a subway station, watch all the trains go through
    Kevin wants to skip the next song, skip the next song, and skip the next song too
    I wanna be unamerican
    I wanna write you a love song
    I wanna be unamerican
    And I wanna get all the words wrong
    Kevin wants to hear a talk show wants to keep up with the girls from the restroom
    Now he wants to move slowly wants to move with you, Kevin wants to move
    Now wants to stand beside you choose to say “I do”, put on a 70s tune
    Kevin wants to dance with everyone, dance with everyone that he loves in the room
    I wanna be unamerican
    I wanna write you a love song
    I wanna be unamerican
    And I wanna get all the words wrong

    @kevinmartin4220 Před 4 lety

    Such a great song!! And video! A lot of work went into that. The first time I heard this I was blown away at all the similarities between the Kevin in the song and myself. I love skipping tunes, watching the trains roll thru, all that sad stuff too, that's me to a T. Finally looked up the video tonight and that house is like my houses twin. Same old school woodwork and big old trims, plate rails. The similarities continue lol. Great song
