Being in love with someone you can't have is heartbreaking. Becoming a superhero, I guess, would be one way of solving this problem. Unfortunately, the collage of blue skinnys, a peck hugging gym tee and a bright yellow Topman belt is the closest i am ever going to come... I wanted to capture the light hearted love story of a boy and his best friend. Taking me back to my school days and the reason why this song was written in the first place.
I wrote the video treatment over a few beers with some friends, all pitching in ideas (some much better than others). One thing I knew was that I HAD to wear a cape... that wasn't open for discussion, I had a strong vision of ending the video overlooking downtown wearing my homemade Superhero attire (watching kick-ass a few nights previous was all the confirmation i needed).
7am I arrived at the location, with fingers tightly crossed, we shot until sunset. It was a beautiful day for many many different reasons... one of those 'is this really happening to me' moments as you observe from an outer-body perspective.

Gahhhhh! I know that i don't even know you personally but i remember going on Vevo and seeing "Joe Brooks - Superman" and I literally jumped up in excitement. I've listened to your music for so long and when I saw that you finally made a music video, I can honestly say that I got very proud of you :)

You're one talented and cute guy; discovering you has to be the best mistakes I've ever made, hahaha! Superman is such an awesome song.
The music vid for it was truly amazing, and the behind the scenes vid is just as amazing.

So, Joe, I read your facebook status "to anyone who ripped it or lime-wired it, you have no idea what it takes to make music." and now I feel so guilty for not actually buying your cd. I'm sorry :/ I'll try to buy it as soon as possible
Hey Joe,
