Dead Poet Society Unveil New “HURT” Music Video Featuring The Warning

Dead Poet Society have unveiled a new version of their song “HURT”, now featuring members of The Warning both in the track and its accompanying music video. This collaboration came together after The Warning’s Paulina Villarreal was seen singing along to the song on social media, which led to an onstage performance at Aftershock and, ultimately, a studio version with all three sisters.

Dead Poet Society previously said of this collaboration:

“We’re so excited to release this new version of ‘HURT‘ featuring The Warning. We first saw Paulina from The Warning singing along to the song on social media, when we were on Shiprocked together. So it seemed only natural to invite her up for a repeat performance at Aftershock. It became such a moment, that we invited them to record a studio version with us and all three of The Warning sisters.”

The Warning shared their excitement about the release, revealing how they first discovered the track:

“The first time we heard the song was while working on our album Keep Me Fed with our producer, Anton DeLost, who also produced Dead Poet Society‘s album. When ‘HURT‘ came out, we were in the studio and heard it there. We immediately congratulated Anton on everything because it was just incredible. From that moment, we became fans of the song.

Later, we met DPS on Shiprocked and heard the song live for the first time, which was amazing. Then, at Aftershock, DPS invited Pau to perform it with them on stage. That performance brought everything together, and after it, we started talking like, ‘Hey, maybe we should hop on the song officially.’ Now, we’re thrilled to see it finally being released. It’s such a powerful song, and we’re incredibly happy to be part of it.”

Dead Poet Society also praised how seamlessly the music video came together, despite scheduling constraints:

“It’s a bit of a miracle that this video came together. The Warning had a tiny window in their tour schedule and it was an uncertain whether it would all come together but they killed it, and the director nailed the vibe. You would think that this whole video had been shot at once.”
