Neighborhood of Good with Panic! At The Disco Episode 1 | State Farm® [MUSIC PLAYING] (IMAGE) A static field is seen, and then we see old family video of Brendon Urie, some with a timestamp dated 1996. He is seen performing music and hanging out with friends and family. (Text on screen) State Farm Original Series Neighborhood of Good (IMAGE) We see scenes of Panic! At the Disco performing on stage, interspersed with footage of fans in the audience. (Speaker: Brendon Urie) I used to stand in front of the mirror and just dream of being on stage, performing for people. That's why it's so important for a young person to have a support system to keep that passion alive. (SINGING) You've got to have hope for a living. Didn't know how but I always had a feeling. (Text on screen) Neighborhood of Good© With Panic! At the Disco (IMAGE) Brendon Urie is seen speaking on camera, and then we see footage of a neighborhood, and home video of him at home and then playing in the neighborhood sliding on the playground and jumping in skates over obstacles on the street. Then we see a young Brendon Urie playing guitar, and then we see Brendon Urie speaking on camera again. Then we see him in home family video. (Speaker: Brendon Urie) As a young teenager, having music was everything. If I didn't have that catharsis, that therapy for myself, oh man. It would have gotten much worse. I was bullied a lot. I was teased a lot. My neighborhood, pretty dingy. Wasn't very well off. Domestic abuse. We had two crack houses on our street. (Image) Brandon Urie as a teenage with friends and family. (Speaker: Brendon Urie) That kind of oppressive negativity, you know, it's residual. It stays with you for a little bit. But the things that got me through it, I had family and friends and teachers that were willing to show me how passionate you can be with the thing that I already loved, which was music. (IMAGE) We see Brendon Urie walking down the halls of a school, and then we see Richard Matta. Text on screen identifies him as Brenden’s Music Teacher. Next, we see a close-up of a drum set and a young Brendan Urie on drums being handed sheet music. (Speaker: Richard Matta) He started playing trumpet, but that kind of went south because he had braces. It didn't work. And he came to me and said, I just quit. You know, I just -- OK. I said, why don't you play drums? You're always over there pecking on the drums. You'd let me play drums? Yeah. (IMAGE) We see a young Brendon Urie and classmates performing with the school band. (Speaker: Young Brendon) 1, 2, 3, 4. [DRUMS PLAYING] (Image) We see a woman speaking in a living room. Text on screen identifies her as Nani Urie, Brendan’s Mother. (Speaker: Nani Urie) He just had this gift. We knew, it was simply a gift. There's no way. A kid comes in a semester from, oh, I think I want to play trumpet to playing the drums as if he were Buddy Rich or something. (IMAGE) Richard Matta is seen on camera again, and then we see a younger Richard Matta at a school band concert in old video footage. (Speaker: Richard Matta) If they hadn't been drums, we were going on to something -- because we've seen that little kid's fire. I'm not going to lose him. (Image) Next, we see Brendan Urie walking the school hallway and then walking to a piano on a dark stage, overlooking the school auditorium. He begins to play the piano and to sing a song, and then he is seen on a concert stage with a large audience, cheering as he sings the same song. Scenes of the performance are interspersed with scenes of the audience cheering. (Speaker: Brendan Urie) Richard Matta was my greatest mentor. I don't think I'd be here today doing my band if I didn't have him. (Image) Brendan singing at concert. (SINGING) Every face along the boulevard is a dreamer just like you. But nobody knows your name when you're dying in LA. And nobody owes you now when you're dying in LA. When you're dying in LA. (IMAGE) We see Richard Matta speaking on camera again, and then we see a sidewalk crowd. (Speaker: Richard Matta) What he does, he's a phenomenal entertainer, but what he is is a really nice guy. (Image) Next we see Nani Urie again, a nd then fans on a sidewalk hugging and interacting, and then more concert scenes. (Speaker: Nani Urie) Brendan has been able to create collective joy. He can tie people together and have them love each other for having shared the same experience. (IMAGE) We see fans speaking about Brendan Urie and then we see more performance scenes. (Speaker: Unidentified fan 1) The sense of community that he builds around himself, it comes from the artist. (Speaker: Unidentified fan 2) His willingness to give to everyone makes me want to do that, too. (IMAGE) Brendan Urie is seen speaking on camera, and then we see signage for the Lilly Club, Boys & Girls Clubs of Indianapolis. Then we see Brendan Urie walk into the club and hug a woman inside, and then he is seen hugging the young people there, playing music with them, and interacting with them. Then we see Brendan Urie speaking on camera again. (Speaker: Brendan Urie) To be where I'm at, doing the things I've always wanted to do, I think it is important to take a stand and show by example. So now, the fact that State Farm gave me this opportunity to be a mentor to try to share what I know and, hopefully, that will build the confidence that maybe these young people didn't know they had. If you just dedicate the smallest amount of your time, the amount of impact you can have, it's unreal. Oh man, I'm excited. That's going to be so awesome.
