Greg Dulli: Lockless Official Video

“Lockless” is the final single and video from Greg Dulli’s solo album Random Desire. Shot by director Bailey Smith in New Orleans at the beginning of the Covid-19 lockdown in March. ⚜️ “I was in New Orleans during the curfew period after Katrina and would come out into the Quarter about an hour before it lifted, thinking ‘it’s like the twilight zone,’” Dulli remarked. “When this original lockdown occurred, I immediately recalled that moment in time and wanted to document it. Like a lot of cities around the world, the absence of people in normally bustling places is very jarring and ghostly. The song itself suggests a loneliness and I felt the marriage between the song and these images was too perfect not to explore.” - Greg Dulli.

I've lived within 20 miles of The River most of my life. I have been listening to Mr. Dulli soundtrack my life for nearly 30 years. I'd wish more fame and wealth upon him, but I hope he keeps making music as long as the Spirit wills.

Most heartbreaking and beautiful song. Dulli pulling on the heartstrings

[@kimnyland8327]

The HORNS at the end! Dammit.

[@Elissa66]

*tears* It's perfect. And I love how it ends with the "Love" sign and the sunrise. It's just perfect.

[@lesterstorm4567]

Totally agree... a Masterpiece!

[@LuisDuran-oz2mk]

Such a slow burn. Addicted to this song after a few listens.

[@kontarisjohn]

this is the best "virtual tour of New Orleans" ever. Thank you and as always an excellent record Greg

[@13cgyetvai]

Now that’s a fucking great video. The whole thing. Greg Dulli knows what’s up.

[@drivel2]

I've never heard a better song and I was born in 79.

[@Acheru]

By far my favorite cut from the record, and possibly of the whole year. Both the song and the video are saddeningly beautiful.

[@mantra6146]

Amazing ! The marriage between Dulli's voice and these ghosts images is simply wonderful !

[@pandasalmon]

love this, haunting, beautiful...I miss Dulli and New Orleans

[@ptrckhnry7634]

You kilt it again Mr. Dulli

[@CasaDeChihuahuas]

This song makes me miss New Orleans, when I still loved life and I worked in the quarter. It's the only place I've ever lived where five senses at once could be hit hard and instantly like a dopamine rush, just by walking down the street. I miss that. This song and video gives me chills, because I can feel it in the tones of the song, the sepia of the video, the lyrics.... Sometimes I'd rather be down and out in New Orleans than barely content in the northeast. Thank you for this song.

Greg owned a bar there. If I am not mistaken, 2nd twilight album was recorded there. Powder burns hence the palm trees pics….

[@GregTudor]

It’s good to know that, even through a pandemic, Dulli still has enough Auto-Tune on hand!

[@chrisgugino1957]

I agree!

[@ClutchthaWeen]

This is my city. I hate to see her this way. Beautiful work Greg.

[@everettleroux7966]

My heart aches watching and listening to this. It’s haunting to see those beautiful streets empty. This is the perfect song for this devastatingly hard year. ⚜️Keep your head up ⚜️
