Video Killed the Radio Star: Cade Hoppe – Lake Michigan

Life doesn’t always work out the way you planned. That’s the pulsing core of Cade Hoppe‘s foamy new track, “Lake Michigan.” He uses the story of driving from the East Coast to the West Coast to see the Pacific Ocean, but the trip has other plans. And he ends up stopping at Lake Michigan instead. The accompanying visual captures the free spirit of hitting the road, the wind kissing your cheeks as you hang out the passenger side window. There’s no greater feeling. “I pointed to Lake Michigan and said, ‘That kind of looks like the Pacific Ocean,’ and we drove to the water,” he sings with a wispy, butterfly vocal. Sometimes, you just have to make do.
