JW Francis - "Wanderkid" Sunday Best Recordings - Official Music Video

Artist City, Country: New York City, New York, U.S.A.

Artist Bio: 'Wanderkid' is the sophomore album from New York’s next lo-fi legend JW Francis, and in an appropriately maverick move, will be released whilst its creator is in the middle of trekking 2000 miles along the Appalachian Trail in the US.
The follow-up to JW’s critically acclaimed debut album 'We Share a Similar Joy', 'Wanderkid' will be released on October 1 by Sunday Best Recordings (The Cure, David Lynch, dan le sac Vs Scroobius Pip, etc). Shortly after this, JW is set to leave the mountains of the eastern United States and make his way over to New York for a show at Elsewhere on October 8 before heading to the UK for his first ever headline shows there.
His new single “John Take Me with You,” and its accompanying video, is wistful, upbeat and bursting with charisma; it is quintessential JW and sets the tone perfectly for an album that tells the story of a wandering anti-hero. As JW elaborates, “'Wanderkid' is an album about escape. It’s supposed to be a gut punch of a record about an anti-hero named WANDERKID who wants to get OUT: out of his living situation, out of his head, out of his life. This album is like looking out the car window with an urgent desire to be on the other side. It was finished during the most recent global pandemic, so hopefully folks find it relatable.”
With support for JW’s debut album flooding in from BBC Radio 6 Music, BlankTV, DIY Magazine, The Line of Best Fit, Wonderland, NME ,The Independent, HMV to name a few, JW is fast making a name for himself as one of the most exciting new artists around.
Born in Oklahoma, JW landed in New York City at nineteen to study economics at Columbia University, but not before making stops, stays and stints in Vermont, aged twelve and Paris, aged thirteen. Whilst at Columbia, the troubadour started music blog Rare Candy and founded student-run recording studio CU Records.
Musically, JW takes his lead from the greats of the downtown NYC scene – Patti Smith, The Velvet Underground, Television, Talking Heads, The Strokes, Yeah Yeah Yeahs – and is fast emerging at the forefront of the next generation of New York greats.

About the Video: "Wanderkid" perfectly sums up the album’s themes visually and finds JW bouncing through psychedelic locations all over the world.
The title track is the video’s epicenter, originally written as a motivational theme song for the album’s protagonist. JW says, “I wanted the title track of this album to sound almost like a ‘Power Rangers’ theme song. Something I could punch the air to and say ‘yeah!’ It’s meant to be a pump-up song written to WANDERKID. Being like, ‘you got this!’ but also… I AM WANDERKID, so naturally it’s a bit self-deprecating.”

Song Lyrics: "Wanderkid"

Verse 1
Wanderkid
Where will you go
When times are tough
Will I see you at the show
Wanderkid
I wish you well
Don’t lose yourself
In a brand new shell
Look at your brand new shell!
Verse 2
Wanderkid
Let them see your face
You are your favorite place
You’re always on the go
Wanderkid
You’ll catch them by surprise
Kiss them in the eyes
You’re really in the flow
Maybe I’ll see you at the show
Chorus
So badly, so badly, so badly, so badly, so badly, so badly
You want something so badly
You want something so badly
But you don’t know what you want
You don’t, you don’t, you don’t
No, you don’t know what you want
Verse 3
Wanderkid
You’re just the same
A miracle
With diamond goals
Wanderkid
Look up to friends
Who comprehend
Your made of gold
They say you’re made of gold
Wanderkid
You’ll fall flat on your face sprinting in one place
It’s okay to deal with pain
Wanderkid
I’ll love you 'til the end
Your stories are my friends
Just don’t forget
Don’t forget
