Nothing But Thieves 'If I Get High' by Chris Grieder

Cat Velez - 11th Feb 2016

Actor RJ Mitte - famous for his role as Walter White Jr. on Breaking Bad - plays a mourning son in Chris Grieder's heartbreaking video for If I Get High, timed to coincide with the US release of British alternative rock band Nothing But Thieves' debut album. 

Following the death of his mother, the young man - who is now raised by his cold, uncommunicative father - uses lucid dreaming to escape his joyless reality. And in a last, highly touching sequence, he levitates up and away from his room and into some snowy woods, where he is comforted by the memory of his mother.
