The question on everyone’s mind lately seems to be, “What are the orbs?” While news outlets, government agencies, and social media detectives scramble for answers, Dr. Erick Pagan, also known as “The Singing Dentist,” offers his own intriguing perspective in his latest single and music video, Green Lights. Yet, instead of resolving the mystery, his artistic interpretation deepens it, leaving viewers captivated and eager for more.
The video for Green Lights, produced and directed by the acclaimed Christopher Rosa, is an ambitious 10-minute cinematic experience disguised as a music video. Seamlessly blending suspense, action, and a thought-provoking narrative, it blurs the lines between music and film. Rosa’s signature style, complete with a compelling score and recurring musical themes, underscores the story and elevates the experience to a true masterpiece.
The narrative begins with two mysterious, darkly clad figures descending from the sky and landing on a quiet road. They head straight to Erick Pagan’s door, prompting him to flee through the side of the house. A chase unfolds, layered with the song’s poignant lyrics: “All I got is green lights, green lights…” The message is clear—obstacles may appear insurmountable, but perseverance prevails. As Erick runs, his small-town community rallies to his aid without hesitation, showcasing the unwavering spirit of unity and southern hospitality. The climactic twist leaves viewers with even more questions, setting the stage for the next installment.
That continuation comes in the form of Above The Sky, the second part of a trilogy exploring the enigma of the orbs and celebrating the resilience of small-town life. Released quietly in December, this installment furthers the narrative while emphasizing the importance of human connection—a theme close to Pagan’s heart.
This isn’t Erick Pagan’s first venture into socially conscious storytelling. Previously, his music and videos, also helmed by Rosa, shed light on a “bio-sludge” crisis affecting his community. The project sparked local action, eventually reaching regional news and prompting policy changes. With Green Lights, Pagan continues to champion causes that matter, urging viewers to embrace compassion and support their neighbors, wherever they may be.
As the trilogy progresses, Pagan’s work serves as a reminder to look beyond screens and into the lives of those around us. His art not only entertains but inspires reflection, connection, and action. With part three already in production, the story of the orbs—and the human spirit—remains as compelling as ever.
