nobody likes you pat Embraces Growth On Compassionate New Single & Video “midwest blues”

Pat Kiloran, best known on stage as nobody likes you pat, has shared his new single and video “midwest blues”. The Saint Paul-based artist is expected to release his debut album imago on November 18th, and has given a fresh taster from the record, accompanied by a picturesque music video shot in the tranquil setting of Double Springs, Alabama.

Leaning into his singer-songwriter pop style, the new single was co-written by Toronto-based artist Matt Kahane, and is a wonderfully introspective and narrative-driven offering that delves into his experience as he breaches his thirties.

““midwest blues” was the first song I wrote in 2021 where I knew, ‘Oh, I’m making THAT kinda record.’”, Pat shares. “I was about to turn 30 and had been thinking deeply and often about what my 20’s had given me: I had become a husband, a father, a full-time artist. I had come to terms with my broken family dynamics, my OCD, my anxiety, my generational alcoholism, my departure from a toxic version of the faith I hold dear. I had started therapy. I experienced the death of loved ones.

I went through sickness and health; rich and poor. The boy I was at 20 would barely recognize the man I had morphed into. And yet, a few things always stayed the same: faithfulness, hope, and most of all: love.”

He goes further by expressing this about the music video: “My friend Dawson and I drove down from Nashville to the middle of nowhere in Alabama for two days, with nothing but our clothes, his camera, and an unfortunately rented Mustang convertible. Our only hope was to find some natural beauty along the way. And find it we did.

Between shots of rushing waterfalls, careening bluffs, giant rock formations, serene lakes, and having a very strange yet moving encounter with a local widower, a simple concept turned into a soft and gentle piece of art. We’re all so tied to the day in and day out tasks of our lives.

And we’re even more distracted by the constant flow of suggestivity and media around us. We all need to remember that at the end of the day: we’re just human. And that’s all we can be.”

Pat’s vibrant vocals and serene songwriting style are a perfect match with the nature-focused music video.
