Diesel Announces 'Bootleg Melancholy' 2024 Australian Tour

In addition to announcing the Bootleg Melancholy tour dates today, Diesel has unveiled the music video for his latest single, Remember My Love, which was shot by his daughter Lily. On the music video, he said:

The music video for Remember My Love was shot by my daughter Lily Lizotte and edited by Blake Fraser, who worked on the multi-award-winning Patricia Moore series. For the video, I thought it would be a good fit to return to where I remember writing most of the song, which is down by the nearby ports where I spend a lot of time decompressing. With a wide-open horizon leading west, the sunsets are always vivid.

Remember My Love is about “not getting stuck in a moment,” Diesel explained. “In part, I'm speaking to myself, a reminder that one must be at peace to some degree to be able to give solace to others,” he added. “It's also a mantra that in times of despair I've tapped into, just the idea of being loved can snap me out of spiralling down.”
