I Nine were a pop rock band formed c. 2004. In 2005, filmmaker Cameron Crowe asked the band to perform the closing credits song, "Same in Any Language," for his movie Elizabethtown.[1] After being signed by label J Records, their single "Seven Days of Lonely" was released through iTunes in September 2007 and was subsequently chosen by iTunes as the service's "free single of the week" from February 19 to 25, 2008. Their debut studio album, Heavy Weighs the King, was released on May 6, 2008.

The band disbanded when singer Carmen Keigans elected to pursue college and the men joined a new band, Tent Revival. In 2020, their former producer Rick Beato revealed that the band had reunited and was recording new songs, now under the name Heavy Weighs the King, adopting the name of their 2008 studio album.[1]

Music videos

Seven Days of Lonely

The music video was produced by RockHard Pictures and directed by Ray Kay. The music video consists of many intercuts of Carmen and her band playing inside a dimly lit room. The story starts with Carmen's character laying down and singing with a streak of light on her face. Then she is standing up and finds a note. Then after the first chorus, she is walking down the stairs and finds another note. Then she is singing in front of a mirror in a bathroom and find another note on the sink. After finding a couple of more notes, she starts crying. After that she runs toward the light that shines outside of the front door. When she is about to cross the door, she finds the last note and runs outside. She gets happy and smiles when she gets to a forest full of green plants. Then she starts running, and she stops and starts jumping. She then lies on the floor and finishes up the song. Each note had a day written on it. The first note was Monday and the last Sunday. Each note read:

  • Monday So I hung up the phone. And I screamed out loud. I felt so alone
  • Tuesday It's like I'm running in slow motion
  • Wednesday it's deafening. The bitter truth
  • Thursday Than just getting by
  • Friday In a nightmare that never ends
  • Saturday I wish you could hold me
  • Sunday Through the seven days of lonely
