Singer-songwriter Steve Grand says he's
“overwhelmed” by the response to his first video for the track
All-American Boy.
The video, released earlier this month,
went viral on YouTube and has gained national attention.
All-American Boy tells a
well-worn story of unrequited love, except the pairing in this video
are two men. Grand's character falls hard for another young man.
Despite sharing a kiss in a lake, the other man says he's just
looking for friendship. (Watch

“Guys I am so overwhelmed right now I
don’t even know what to say,” Grand said in a
Facebook post. “Reading your comments and messages about how
this song/video has brought back memories or tugged at something
inside of you has moved me deeply. I'm doing my best to respond to
as many as I can. Forgive me if I am late or miss over something
since I am going at this alone. Keep sharing the video if you are
inspired. Lets let our story be known by the whole world! And keep
hashtagging #allamericanboy !!! :) I cannot thank you enough for
supporting me. … I've dreamed about this all of my life.”
