So once you\u2019re here, you\u2019re like, \u2018Fuck I\u2019ve done so much.\u2019 There\u2019s been so many sleepless nights and shit that it took to get here, so you\u2019re not really surprised.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">In a statement, the video\u2019s director, Meezy, spoke about the trip during which the video was shot, saying he and Peep spent an afternoon wandering around a castle, which was closed to the public. \u201cWe loitered around town and smoked by the castle,\u201d Meezy said. \u201cWe really just talked, and connected. We fed ducks with an old man who seemed to ignore us, probably because of Gus\u2019 look. Gus said he was used to that treatment. But the \u2018ducks don\u2019t mind,\u2019 [he said]. That really stuck with me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Lil Peep originally announced <i>Goth Angel Sinner<\/i> in October 2017, a month before he <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/music\/music-news\/rising-rapper-lil-peep-dead-at-21-128703\/\">died<\/a> from an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/music\/music-news\/lil-peep-cause-of-death-revealed-202399\/\">overdose<\/a> of fentanyl and Xanax at the age of 21.
