Roman Candle Premiere “Can We Watch Something Happy” Music Video

Screamo outfit Roman Candle have unveiled a new music video for their latest single, “Can We Watch Something Happy”, continuing the band’s stream of releases since signing with Sumerian Records last year.

Vocalist Piper Ferrari revealed the deeply personal inspiration behind the track:

“‘Can We Watch Something Happy‘ is written from the perspective of my childhood self. I struggled with severe OCD growing up, which was intensified by being raised in a religious household. I wasn’t diagnosed until much later, so for most of my youth I didn’t understand what was happening — I just remember being scared all the time.

There was a constant cycle of praying for the intrusive thoughts to go away, eventually giving in to them, and then praying again for forgiveness. That’s where the repeated ‘one more time’ comes from. It wasn’t about depression or suicidality; it was about trying to survive this overwhelming fear of thoughts I didn’t want, and then feeling deep guilt because I believed even having those thoughts was a sin.”

The track, directed by Samuel Halleen, is the fourth single Roman Candle have released under Sumerian, highlighting the band’s raw, emotive approach to modern screamo while tackling themes of mental health and personal struggle.
