It is enough to bring the most optimistic of people down.

But a music video ?Float Sink or Swim?

?you’ve got the option to work hard at trying to stay positive,?

?You only get one go at this life, so you might as well enjoy it.?

?It was my first and last experience,?

?We got a great take, so it made it into the video.?

The video also features shots of Beninghof singing and playing guitar on a soapbox reading ?Free Your Speech?

Beninghof is hoping that the video will whet his fans?

appetites for his first full-length album, expected out this summer.

After spending summers between college as lifeguards, the video fulfills the friends?

longtime dream to collaborate creatively on a project.

said Gaetani, who served as the video?s director.

?It encapsulates what it is like to be in Falmouth or Cape Cod during the summer.?

Heffernan said he was thrilled to have Beninghof?s talents boost his company?s cause.

?I love his music, he?s a terrific guy and a good quality musician,?

said Heffernan, who owns a home in Cataumet.
