I couldn't view it on VEVO, only on the site.

Nice Tune. Wow, the video really went full on history of the 1960s protest movement. It seems like somebody, or some people, put a lot into it. I wonder if there are other plans for it. On a side note, I'm thinking one Poo won't be so pleased with it.

I've been waiting for that song since I first listened to it during the European tour and all I can say is: DUDE!!! By far my favorite song and videoclip from What's That Sound? so far. Loved the arrangement and Haley's vocals are deep, raw, clear, INSANE! Can't wait to listen to it in a better quality!

Wonderful lyric video!

With this likely being her last single before the album release, I wonder if she timed it so that this is the song that she'll be focusing on in any promo she does. (Hopefully she gets on a few tv shows).

Yeah they've also disabled the sharing function. It'll likely be posted later tomorrow, maybe today, for 'public' viewing, maybe on Youtube, like they did when Yahoo had exclusive to SMYM

Haley writes about the inspiration on Perez...

"A good friend just reminded me that back in high school we had to write a paper on a certain decade and use one song to describe the time. Turns out I had long forgotten that I used, ‘For What It's Worth' as the defining track of the 60's and encouraged my friend to do the same. No matter what age or what decade we're in, people will always feel the significance of this song as it remains current and yet, completely timeless. There's something happening here… an urgency that reminds us to keep our minds clear, resist, and continue to stand up for justice — together."

Wow, the video really went full on history of the 1960s protest movement. It seems like somebody, or some people, put a lot into it. I wonder if there are other plans for it.

a couple of Observations in that respect

....it's a Vevo video, so unlike The Letter, it'll be posted and viewable on more platforms.

I really liked the video 'forces' the old TV aspect ratio instead of using the entire 'wide screen' space. On initial viewing, it helps trick you into thinking that they're using old footage from events in the 60's. Then it occurs that some of the images in the same thing are actually from present day, echoing a time of political and racial turmoil of the 60's.

I think it's inevitable that there's going to be some issue with this just because of it's political subject matter, re-enforced in the video. People will see what they want to see in the video.

Lastly, The strategy and thinking into what they expect to do with, the reaction to the messages and images coming from #WhatsThatSound roll out. In any other time pre-2016, this would be a 'cute' tip of the cap to the era of the 60's and the civil rights of the time. But as the nation appears to be strongly divided, tensions mounting internationally.... Haley's album of "Peace, Love and Harmony" may carry more weight and significance. It's very possible #ForWhatItsWorh might find new life if it gets picked up as representation for a cause or statement.

Also, it feels less and less likely that 'sales numbers' is too big of a concern in this strategy. Early release of songs, no particularly strong push to purchase on iTunes AND the fact that if you purchase a ticket to a show, it also includes a free download of the album......So I have to figure there's more to the strategy of promotion of Haley's music on this album than the standard roll out single, album, video and sales ?
