Car Radio (song)
"Car Radio" is a song written and recorded by American musical duo Twenty One Pilots, originally released in 2011 on their second studio album, Regional at Best. It was re-released in March 2014 as the fifth and final single from their third studio album, Vessel.[2] The song is seen as the duo's most experimental, as it has no chorus in it.
Music video
The music video was uploaded to YouTube on April 19, 2013 and was directed by Mark C. Eshleman of Reel Bear Media.[3][4] It was shot at a concert. Tyler Joseph sits in a bathroom singing the song, he then shaves off all of his hair (a major reference to angst), puts on a ski mask, and heads out to the stage where Dun is seen playing drums. Joseph walks into the crowd that is standing still, and once Joseph jumps the crowd jumps with him. Joseph surfs the crowd and performs the rest of the song on stage with Dun. As the song ends, Joseph is by himself on the stage and the crowd is gone. He takes off his mask, revealing his face once again. Joseph then sings the final lyrics to the song, in which he falls backwards off the stage and the screen goes to black, ending the video.
On April 13, Twenty One Pilots performed "Car Radio" at the 2014 MTV Movie Awards.[5] On April 28, the band performed "Car Radio" on Late Night with Seth Meyers.[6]
