Black Eyed Sons have unveiled the official video for their powerful and emotional new single “Autumn Reigns,” featuring Charlie Starr of Blackberry Smoke. Written by guitarist and songwriter Guy Griffin, the track is deeply personal, inspired by the passing of his brother Daniel in 2021. “Written as if by the person who’s gone for the people left behind, its lyrics deal with loss, grief and the passage of time, trying to make sense of life after tragedy,” Griffin shares. “A sad subject but I hope the song’s uplifting, that’s how I’d like it to be heard.”
The video was filmed outside the historic Hammersmith Odeon and beautifully captures the song’s tone of reflection and resilience. Griffin thanked Starr for his heartfelt vocal performance and Chip Z’Nuff for his work on bass. He also expressed gratitude to Alan Clayton of The Dirty Strangers for lending him Keith Richards’ Gibson Hummingbird, the same guitar used to write and record “Wild Horses.” The connection feels fitting, as Griffin recalled his late brother’s deep love for The Rolling Stones and the memories they shared at Stones concerts. Dedicated “for you Dan,” the single stands as both a tribute and an act of healing, reminding listeners of the enduring power of music. The band also encourages support for Mind, a mental health charity that offers help to those facing grief and emotional struggles.
