Puddle of Mudd has released a new music video for \u201cFree,\u201d out now, a track pulled from the band\u2019s latest album \u2018Kiss The Machine,\u2019 out now via Pavement Entertainment. The video was directed by Vicente Cordero and filmed in Los Angeles.<\/p>\n<p>For frontman Wes Scantlin, \u201cFree\u201d carries deeply personal weight, reflecting struggles he\u2019s navigated over the years. At its core, the song is about severing ties with bad influences, whether people or vices, and surrounding yourself with genuine support instead.<\/p>\n<p>Scantlin spoke to the song\u2019s message. \u201cEverybody goes through life with ups and downs, and you can find your way. Along the way, people come around and they\u2019re not your people. Accept the people who are trying to help you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He also shared how faith has guided him through difficult moments. \u201cLook up to God, ask Him for help, and He\u2019ll take you somewhere better. I hope people hear their own story in \u2018Free\u2019 and take whatever they need from the song. Keep your head up, improve, and remain awesome. God will guide you in the right direction. Get free. Stay free. Stay kind and be nice to each other.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>With a career spanning more than two decades, Puddle of Mudd has cemented its place as a defining force in rock music. Formed in 1991, the multi-platinum-selling band has sold more than seven million albums worldwide, powered by a run of chart-topping hits including \u201cBlurry,\u201d \u201cShe Hates Me,\u201d \u201cPsycho,\u201d \u201cFamous,\u201d \u201cDrift and Die,\u201d and \u201cControl.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"jeg_video_container jeg_video_content\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Puddle Of Mudd - Free\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/duQZb6umVMA?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure><\/div>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.thatericalper.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cutting ties with what holds you back can be the first step toward something better.
