Bumblefoot - Don't Know Who To Pray To Anymore [Official Video]
Музыка
“Don’t Know Who to Pray to Anymore” from the Bumblefoot album "Little Brother Is Watching" [lyrics & info below...]
Clocking in at over seven minutes, “Don’t Know Who to Pray to Anymore” is a true return to form for the epic music video format, with storyline footage showcasing characters in various stages of life, from childhood to adult, hitting an emotional 'rock bottom', faced with a life-changing choice. The stories are left open-ended, so you can ask yourself what choice you would make.
"This song speaks for those that feel lost, betrayed, disillusioned, when we question all we believe in. When we start to lash out, and punish ourselves. This is a song about being in this place, in our own personal purgatory. We know we need to heal, but we're not ready to let go."
Directed by Vojan Koceic, “Don’t Know Who…” was a massive undertaking, filmed in three countries at 12 locations, including the Western Wall in Jerusalem, and gaining exclusive access to ancient Roman ruins by the Jordanian border, with the distinction of being the only music video to ever have been shot there (filmed by Director of Photography Ami Bornstein). Additional band performances were filmed in Croatia at the Fortress of Klis and the Diocletian Palace (locations seen on the TV show "Game of Thrones"), plus an additional 8 sets and featuring more than 50 actors.
“This video needed to be filmed in locations that have a deep historic and spiritual presence.” says Thal. Additional filming locations included The Grianan of Aileach Ring Fort at a hilltop in Northern Ireland.
LYRICS:
Don't Know Who To Pray To Anymore
Once upon a time a child
Grew up too fast, went runnin' wild
Now he don't know who to pray to anymore
I once thought God was good and kind
Then Mother Nature blew my mind
And left my broken body on the floor
Now I don't know who to pray to anymore
But when the world gets real
And I start to feel
The first thing I do
Is turn to you
And then pull away
Until comes the day
Where I just can't live
And learn to forgive
I've got a song that needs to be sung
But I don't know who to play to anymore
We bet away what's in our hand
And then we're told it was the plan
They say all's fair, but someone's keeping score
I've seen it all, I've seen the lies
False promises for compromise
Fought every battle, but still I lost the war
Now I don't know who to pray to anymore
But when the world gets real
And I start to feel
The first thing I do
Is turn to you
And then pull away
Until comes the day
Where I just can't live
And learn to forgive
I know I've changed
Can't find my way
When all is dark
Or is it my heart
That won't come to the light
I'm bad to myself
As a show for you to see
So maybe you'll agree
That you should have been there more for me
Got an old guitar that needs to be strung
But I don't know who to play to anymore
So why should I still believe
When everyone's out to deceive
And all our dreams get washed back on the shore
And fate will prove to be most cruel
Yet hope remains for the helpless fool
Pawns of selfish right & righteous wrong
No I don't know who to pray to anymore
I don't know who to pray to anymore

There are a million singer / songwriters that can play guitar, and a million guitar players that can write songs and sing, but I can't remember a guitar virtuoso that can write soulful meaningful songs like this guy. Truly a one off.

I told my 8 year old son about your passion for music, for guitar and about your health problems. Since then he prays for you every night. Also, he is a fan of your golden double neck guitar.
Bumblefoot, you are genuinely the nicest and most humble rock legend ever... thanks for the epic ballads. Rock on. 🤘🏽

man that solo..... the way it progresss getting intense from one bar to next....
Normal and abnormal changed my life, they've been my fave albums since I heard them but little brother is watching blew me away as soon as I heard it. I've had various (and ongoing) health problems and this song hits me right in the heart every time I listen to it... This video is awesome and totally does the song justice. Legendary guitarist, singer, songwriter, producer, philanthropist and the best bit, he's too humble to admit it... All hail bumblefoot! Legend.

+Provocative Fingers Thanks so much, greatly appreciate it :) Hope all is well :) Big hug!!
I'm Italian, most of my friends don't know your music but I think it's great and I'm trying to spread it among my metalhead friends. I adore this song and I hope you'll tour here soon
*Besides the guy being a great guitarist, a great singer, and super nice people, the guy still responds to comments on KZread! Damn, you rock! You deserve success...*
It's really one of the beautifulest song in history.
Incredibly grateful to Max Ostro for inadvertently leading me here! Love your work Bumblefoot 🤙
Damn such an underrated guitat player and song writer. His lyrics are pretty deep.
Really nice song i dont expect that....now i listen it frecuently. He is one of the greatest guitar player nowdays.
Holy shit, that was fucking amazing. Amazing cinematography and real shock value. That solo kills. I find it amazing how your work has such variety and complexity. Had a great time jamming with you a few months back in Finland, thanks Ron!

+TheIronicTea Thank you! :D
I first heard him playing in Guns N' Roses. I saw him tour with them in 12 years ago. His style is a bit different than GNR and I didn't think he was a great fit for that reason only. However, he is the most technical and intelligent guitarist I have ever heard. Not until today did I realize he can also sing very well too. And this song shows his musicality, vocal ability and song writing skills all in one. He is truly special. I also watched a video of him talking about harmony and it was the first time I ever found a lesson like that so useful. He made something that I always struggled to understand seem easy now. Thank You! You are truly the most talented musician I've ever heard. You can play absolutely anything.
Bumblebeee, te quiero ❤ saludos desde Caracas Venezuela 🇻🇪
Everytime I search bumblefoot and pick a track its an amazing experience 🙌
And i was thinking Bumblefoot was just a great shredder. Man, is there anything you CAN'T do? You sing very good, And the lyrics are beyond amazing! Keep on rocking !

+GNRACDCMJ Pauluzz99 Thank you :D
The more of Ron's videos I watch he more I like him, both as a guitarist/songwriter and as a person. And it's great that someone who can out shred the best of them plays with such restraint rather than spending the whole time trying to impress us with how many notes he can squeeze into each bar. This is music.
Everyone has that certain style of music that raises chill bumps and causes their soul to sway internally to the external melody- This song and many others that come from the hands throat and mind of Ron Thal do that for me. Awesome work, incredible message, soulful but with that ragged edge that just... rocks. Thanks for enriching the world with your sound man.
this guy really has a voice
This is a beautiful song, and the whole album is great. It's not quite as weird as his older stuff, but still awesome. I hope he goes off the deep end on his next album though; his weird stuff is my favorite.
This song really speaks to me i have no clue why
Man I've been going down a Bumblefoot's rabbit hole and been listening to him almost exclusively these days. This man never misses, such an incredible guitarist. That bit he did with the ebow on the Herman Li stream was pure musical genius. I've always found him incredible since listening to Piranha and Guitar Sucks. Crazy technique and musicianship. Bumblefoot never misses.
This song (as the whole album) is awesome on so many levels... everything is just perfect - great composition, strong lyrics, awesome solo's and good studio work.. one of the best albums I heard in a long long time.
I utterly adore this man.. I'm struggling a bit with mental health but I always come back to this song .. thank you man
Ron may well be the most underrated guitarist on planet Earth. Talk to any of the great guitarists today, they will tell you of his influence and ability.
Think you for shearing my friend see you like music
There is no better example of a humble and awesome rockstar
Guitar solo is Fantastic
only just heard of this guy... found a song called dominated and blew me away .. sent it straight to my pal who I know will get the meaning behind that song... now loving this song also
This is so much relatable now my god!!!!!!
I love how everything is recorded dry! not a bunch of cheesy delays! He lets the playing and the lyrics do the talking! refreshing!
Love you man. I know your work since 1998. You rock.
I haven't heard such good guitar rock melodies for a long time

Like David St. Hubbins of Spinal Tap says(regarding Yngwie): "Why bother playing, might as well use my guitar as coffee table". I'm getting the same kind of thoughts when it comes to Bumblefoot. That being said, Bumblefoot is DEFINITELY an inspiring guitarist - even if I have 1/10 of his guitar abilities/capabilities, I'll be one happy person.
The Bumblefoot guitar is what you get when the guitar maker asks what options you want and you say, "everything"
Great song, gut wrenching video, massive solo. Well done.
Such a pleasure Mixing his solo act last night at The Music Factory in Battle Creek, MI. If only every Legend I have had the Privilege of working with was as down to earth amd humble as Ron. Truly one of the Nicest and most compassionate people I have ever met. keep on keeping on my brother. Long live the Great🤘 #Bumblefoot4Life

I meet Ron last Sunday. I have never met someone so humble like him. Bought his record and I'm loving the music he makes. I feel blessed to have met him and one thing that still on my mind is "as musicians we are here to give music to the world." God bless you Ron.

Ron, It was the greatest pleasure watching you perform live in Lawrence, KS, the other night. I wish I could have shaken your hand after the show but I understand that Mrs. Bumblefoot was able to visit you that day. It’s evident that you two make a great team, and it’s cool how supportive she is of you and your work. Since the show, I’ve been listening to all of your personal albums on iTunes and it’s fantastic. Thank you for sharing your incredible musicianship, sense of humor, and life experiences with the rest of us. Best wishes towards the remainder of your “SOA” US/European tour! \m/
Epic stuff! Well done, mr. Foot :) Especially the shots around the Klis fortress are amazing :) Vojan did a great job, once again :)
its amazing performance
Kick ass song
Bumble is too cool!
Hi i am Thai fan from Thailand. i went to Silom in 2016 and watch your special show with your fan song. Still waiting for your next project.
Bumblefoot, you sometimes make a little ray of sunshine pass through my darkness. It won't change my life, but it still is precious. Thanks for your music (love the Sons of Apollo LP, bought it too for my nephew, he told me he found it awesome), and you're a gentle man (or the best actor ever!😊).
love this song, thks thal from 🇮🇩🇮🇩
Good song mr bumblefoot
Ohhhh My God !!! Congratution ...
Master of Masters Ronny !!!!
awesome, huge fan here .
I would like to take a look who didn't like this song!!! They need to visit to their doctors!!! Ron, I have no words! I don't know who to say (ha-ha) how many times I've already listened to this song! It's a masterpiece! And "Higher" blew my mind! When someone ask me who my favourite singer is I will tell him - Ron Thal! And if we say about a guitar then GUITAR = BUMBLEFOOT! Great done, Ron!

Hermoso tema!
Bumblefoot you may or may not remember kindly giving me last minute passes backstage to meet you after hearing of a fan who'd lost my 2 small children & now my husband in Melbourne. You gave me the happiest night in 14yrs with a concert & then meeting me & since then I've been stalking...... sorry following your career. This video is where I've been so many times & the words so close to home, do you mind me downloading your songs to listen to around the house & guess what CD I'll be buying next year? I loved you in the band but think you are much more appreciated in your solo work. All I can say is a big THANK YOU for the music....... and your kindness to others. xo
you rock man, i saw you when i was 16 when you came to istanbul play as GNR's lead guitarist. I LOVED your version of dont cry then ( when axl didn't prefer to sing it so we, as the crowd sang, it as you played -or more accurately: sang it with your guitar and many people were actually crying because they loved the song and it hasn't been played for a very long time and you made it happen:) - PS: great song, would be awesome to see an unplugged version and hear your low pitch voice as well:) PS+: loudwire

I've never been much of a Guns N' Roses guy because I like more of a heavy sound like something like old Three Days Grace or new Breaking Benjamin or Five Finger Death Punch would release. Music like that. But this song is incredible. I look for meaningful lyrics that actually have meaning in them when I listen to rock music. I found them. Thanks, Ron.
It's been a long time since we saw a rock act put out a video of this kind...adds so much to an already great song! That solo was absolutely balls out and an absolute killer! Lots more to come I hope...
It's PERFECT!
Bumble - you know I'm one of your biggest fans , but even I can objectively say that was FANTASTIC ! :) It may be my favourite song on the new album and I really enjoyed the video - it matched the song so well and I think it was such a smart move to leave everybody hanging at the end ( its up to each person n' their own choice I guess ! ). Also love all the huge panning shots of you playing :) Hope to hear it live on the road next time you're in town !! God Bless ;)
