Synopsis

The video for "We're Gonna Rise" is a loose, celebratory portrait rather than a narrative piece. The Breeders appear among friends and guests at a gathering, with the camera capturing the relaxed, communal atmosphere as the song unfolds. Informal group moments and party footage give the clip a warm, home-movie quality, matching the track's message of endurance and renewal. Its unpolished presentation places the focus on togetherness and the band's return rather than on elaborate visual effects or a scripted storyline.

Factoids & Trivia

  • "We're Gonna Rise" was released in 2008 as part of the promotional campaign for *Mountain Battles*, The Breeders' first studio album in approximately six years.
  • The song was issued as a 4AD single on March 9, 2008, backed by "German Demonstration." It later appeared as the fourth track on *Mountain Battles*.
  • The video is notably simple compared with many of the band's more stylized clips. Its footage of the band at a celebration gives it the feel of a private gathering captured on camera rather than a conventional performance production.
  • The song was later included on the 2010 benefit compilation *Download to Donate for Haiti*. Proceeds from that project supported Oxfam America's relief and recovery work following the January 2010 earthquake.
  • The single reached No. 58 on the UK physical singles chart and No. 13 on the UK independent singles chart.
