I’m thrilled to announce that the new video for our song “Little Piggies” has just been released, and I couldn’t be happier with how it turned out! This song has a special place in my heart, and I want to share a bit about why I wrote it and the message behind it.
The Inspiration
When I first started writing “Little Piggies,” I was reflecting on how often things in life aren’t what they seem. There are so many people out there who wear masks—pretending to be one thing while hiding darker intentions. The phrase “a wolf in sheep’s clothing” came to mind, but then I thought, what if it’s not a sheep at all? What if it’s a pig?
That’s when the idea struck me: the three little piggies, those classic figures from childhood stories, but without the bad wolf to keep them in check. What if the piggies themselves have become the wolves? What if those who once seemed harmless or innocent have now turned into the predators?
Each piggy in the song represents a different kind of person who embodies this idea of hidden danger and betrayal. Here’s a closer look at each one:
The First Little Piggy: The Addict
This piggy is trapped in a cycle of addiction and self-destruction. Always chasing a fix, this character’s life spirals out of control, losing everything—including their home. But the twist is that this piggy, once vulnerable and weak, has now become dangerous in their own right. The addict is no longer just a victim but a wolf in disguise.
The Second Little Piggy: The Greedy Conman
This piggy is all about greed and manipulation. He’s the slick businessman or scam artist who preys on others’ trust, selling worthless schemes and disappearing once he’s taken all the money he can. This character shows how greed can turn someone into a predator, exploiting others for personal gain.
The Third Little Piggy: The Betrayer
This piggy is the ultimate betrayer—someone who pretends to be a good neighbor and friend but ultimately breaks the deepest trust by interfering in your personal life. This piggy moves in, becomes close, and then betrays you in the worst way imaginable - wreaking havoc on your bonds at home. The wolf in pig’s clothing here is about deceit and personal treachery.
The song flips the original fairy tale on its head. Instead of the wolf being the threat, the piggies themselves have become the wolves—dangerous, cunning, and destructive. It’s a dark reflection on how corruption, addiction, greed, and betrayal can hide behind familiar faces.
I hope the video and the song resonate with you as much as they do with me. Thanks for listening and watching, and stay tuned for more!
