Bethany Joy Galeotti and costar Tyler Hilton joined The Wreckers (Michelle Branch and Jessica Harp) for a 25-city North American "One Tree Hill" tour that started February 28 in Vancouver. The jaunt also featured Gavin DeGraw on select dates. " While on tour, Galeotti performed some of her original songs from her second independent record including the song "Songs in My Pockets".

The videoThe video was produced by Gary Gimelfarb and directed by Alex Merkin. During her time off tour, Galeotti filmed the video at Coney Island Beach and Astroland in Brooklyn, New York.
Numerous shots included in the video were intended to be reminiscent of someone with a camera taking pictures of themselves at a beautiful locatiomn-the kind of Polaroid or snapshot picture people take when they travel. This filming technique helped add to the nostalgic quality-a prevalent theme in Galeotti's music. Epic Records does not own the video despite the fact that this song was to be re-released on Bethany Joy Galeotti's debut album. The video was shot before she officially signed with them. When Merkin dealt with Epic Records, in terms of contract negotiations (for video footage and additional filming) he made sure not to sign over the rights to the video. References | |
