Congrats to Cam, who was on hand to help announce the nominations also heard her name in a couple of categories, including Song Of The Year (“Burning House”), and Video Of The Year (“Burning House”).
Cam says that “Burning House” is an emotional song for her to sing. (:41)
“This song is definitely one of the songs in the set that will adjust my mood, as I’m singing it. It makes me very sad to sing this song, ’cause vocals are such an emotional thing. It’s very hard to get through singing it as you’re recording it, and then when I was finished, I actually sent it to the guy who it’s about, and he (laughs) joked, he said, ‘Oh, so I die in the song?’ (laughs) He was, like, less than pleased that he died in the song. But also, it’s just such a weird thing to show someone a song about them and about us and what happened. So that part, that also adds to the heaviness of it.”
Cam couldn’t believe a song that she had a dream about became a video for everyone to see. (:59)
“I think the scariest thing was, I felt like I needed to act, and I’m I’m not an actress. This is the other thing that’s like so funny, all you want to do is sit in a studio and make music all day, and all of a sudden your expected to be like fashionable, and an actress, and all these other things that don’t really relate. But, so I was really nervous, and the night before actually was the worst of it, and I went over to the director’s house Trey Fanjoy, and she was so sweet. She said “yeah, come on over,” and she had her little handheld camera, and we practiced like emotions that my face should make. (laugh) Then the next day we got there, and there’s just a crew, and there’s a fire truck, and there’s a house that’s about to get burned down, and there’s trailers, and everybody’s there because I had this dream, and wrote the song. And it’s kind of overwhelming that something I dreamt now everyone is about to see. Not only hear about but visually everyone’s about to see like literally what I dreamt which is really insane”
Cam talks about being on the set of her “Burning House” video. (:18)
“There’s flame bars that are kind of gas, and then there’s…you can rub kind of like a glue a rubber cement and you light that, and that’ll go on fire for like 20 seconds. So, in the beginning everyone talked about the safety precautions and where to get out if it’s too hot. And there was only one time I had to yell ‘too hot!’ and everyone kind of grabbed me and got me out.”
