Following the release of their sophomore album There’s A Whole World Out There, Ontario’s emotionally-charged outfit Arm’s Length have unveiled the third and final chapter in their visual trilogy — the powerful new music video for “Morning Person”. The track serves as both the emotional climax of the album and the concluding piece to a haunting narrative arc first introduced in the videos for “Funny Face” and “You Ominously End.” Directed by Alex Scalzo-Brown, the video is a cinematic depiction of grief and memory.
“Allen’s words in ‘Morning Person’ read to me like grief filling up a room,” says Scalzo-Brown. “With all the most beautiful parts of something once lost, crashing into you without mercy. I believe this feeling is mutual between the living and the dead.”
“Morning Person is genuinely my favourite Arm’s Length song,” says vocalist and guitarist Allen Steinberg. “I’d say it’s the most important one, at least to me. Lyrically, it captures so many emotions that I’ve had to process within not only the last few years, but my entire lifetime. Constant compulsive overthinking, debilitating anxiety and familial trauma are all themes that are tackled in this song. As a whole, it feels extremely triumphant, and writing this song truly helped me realize that I am worth the amount of space I take up in the world.”
“I think Alex Scalzo-Brown did an incredible job translating this song into visual art,” Steinberg continues. “He beautifully captures grief, and the video he created grapples with all of the aforementioned themes. The video closes the trilogy with a sense of despair, but also with the sense that all is not hopeless, and that was my intention with the song itself when it was written.”

Produced by longtime collaborator Anton DeLost, There’s A Whole World Out There has struck a chord for its emotionally open lyricism and massive guitar-driven sound. Dealing in themes of mental health, grief, self-doubt, and resilience, the album has earned Arm’s Length some serious traction — peaking at #6 on Billboard’s Current Rock and Alternative Album Charts and #17 for Vinyl Albums.
Steinberg has been open about the deeply personal nature of the project, calling it the result of “the most mentally ill” period of his life. “The songs aren’t written for anyone else at all,” he explains.
