ROMAN CANDLE have released a new music video!
The new music video, for the track Can We Watch Something Happy?, is the fourth single from the band following their 2025 signing to Sumerian Records, and follows on from their previous single, Nothing Is Original, which was released in December last year. Written from the perspective of vocalist Piper Ferrari’s childhood self, the song explores intrusive thoughts, compulsive prayer and the guilt that arises from believing one’s own mind is a sin.
Speaking about the theme of the track, Piper shares, “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.”
