“Music Is Worth Living For” is off W.K.'s most recent album, You're Not Alone, his first record since 2009. The music video is a visual journey destined for people who can't get enough of the party life.

“”Music Is Worth Living For” finds me and my band mates in the throes of a colossal vision quest,” the musician tells Kerrang! about the music video. “Determined to party harder than ever, we steel ourselves against alien elements, and battle a formless but formidable storm.”

“Multiplying myself, I attempt to transcend the whirling void by engaging in a series of flailing spiritual maneuvers, vainly wrestling with the emptiness of my own soul. Alas, I discover I had already been consumed by my own triumphantly pathetic creation,” he continues. “And at this moment of devastatingly poignant clarity, I realize I’m back where I started, trapped inside the hardest party of all: Being alive.”

W.K. also announced the second leg of his North American tour. The tour kicks off August 18 in Las Vegas, NV and wraps up September 28 in Orlando, FL. Tickets are available here
