Comeback Kid (That's My Dog) by Brett Dennen

We all love to hear tales of people returning from the brink, and this tune by Californian singer-songwriter Brett Dennen tells the story of a person reviving their fortunes. He told Spinner UK what inspired this song: "I just wanted to tell the story of a comeback. Everybody has one in them. Everybody knows how it feels to be down and out and wanting to be back on top."
Baseball fan Dennen got to film the video at the Oakland Athletics stadium. He told Spinner UK how it happened: "The Oakland Athletics reached out to my manager and asked if I was interested in doing something with them at a game. They were aware that I am a fan. They thought it would be fun for me to sing 'Take Me Out To The Ballgame,' which I quickly said yes to, because it's always been a dream of mine. We came up with the idea to shoot the music video, because at the time, we were in the process of coming up with a story for the music video. Thankfully they agreed, and they and Major League Baseball were very generous with us and allowed us to pretty much use whatever footage we shot."
