NORMAL PEOPLE THINGS
by LOVEJOY

Normal People Things by Brighton indie rockers Lovejoy was released 6 October 2023.

The video for the single, directed by Ted Nivision, was filmed in summer 2023 in Los Angeles while the band played their US tour and festivals.

Lovejoy frontman and guitarist Will Gold spoke about the track, saying “‘Normal People Things’ is a song I wrote about things that normal people do, such as shopping, showering, occupying space, panic attacks, etc. However, there are also some things normal people do not do. This song will not talk about that.”

On the making of the Normal People Things video, director Nivison explained: “I wanted to take the concept behind the song and flip it on its head, placing the band in the weirdest form of a ‘Normal Person Thing’ which in this case was those old awkward family portraits from the ‘70s-‘90s. I really wanted to have most of the video be like a collection of living portrait photography, with only the final chorus being the moment in which they break out of it.”
