The Wood Brothers have shared a new music video for the Kingdom In My Mind single, “Little Bit Sweet”, offering a breather from what has been a bitter week in the music industry due to the ongoing COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic.
“The timing of this video being released is certainly bittersweet for us, but we hope this can be a reminder of the connections we all share,” said guitarist and vocalist Oliver Wood in a press release. “Maybe in some small way the song can be a reprieve from the stress and fear everyone is feeling out there right now.

Directed by Gary Dorsey, the “Little Bit Sweet” music video combines band performance footage with animation that reflects the song’s sentiment. The song evokes feelings of nostalgia for Dorsey, abound with childhood memories of playing outside and the love found in looking back on those memories, which is echoed perfectly in the lyrics.
“Lyrically the song speaks to the yins and yangs of love—every kind of love,” explained Wood. “How the value and preciousness of love is matched by its fragility and fleetingness. The images in the lyrics are from personal experiences, and the connected feelings should feel pretty universal.”
