In August of 2007 The Beds were invited to trek to L.A. to make a music video under the direction of University of Southern California School of Cinematic Arts students Lisa Curry and Yu Gu. Lisa wrote the script to go along with the band’s recently re-recorded original tune “Need To Dream”, and arranged for stunning locations to film throughout LA. A highlight of the trip was an outing to the Sony Prop warehouse where labels indicating that this table was reserved for “House” and that for “The OC” sat alongside the band’s own reserved props (notably, the bed seen in the closing warehouse scene).

The band, Galen Curry on vocals, Woody Jiang on guitar, Andy Moerschell on bass and John Whalen on drums, relied on the kindness and hospitality of Potsdam native Phil Hurley and his band Stonehoney for most of the instruments the band plays in the video, and for introducing them to the musical community in L.A.. L.A. professional actress Melanie Wilson starred as a desperate dream addict stealing her fixes from the unsuspecting musicians until freed from her addiction by the band’s musical intervention. ---
