The frontman and lead vocalist of Daybreak. Expressive and sure of himself, Ford yearns for the good things in life despite his growing physical ailments. Unlike his other bandmates, Ford feels a lack of contentment with his life and wishes for some kind of escape. He is not afraid to speak his mind and is open to confrontation, which frequently causes banter between himself and the rest of the band, seeing himself as the so-called leader. Throughout the music video, Ford shows himself to be an upbeat, passionate character, always prepared to push himself for the best in life. Would be an asset to be familiar with instrument pretraining to band member, but not required.

The lead guitarist of Daybreak. Being the most outgoing member of the band, Matty is not afraid to have his opinions heard and uses this to his advantage when conversing with the rest of the band, often challenging their views. He has a deep love and passion for performing and longs for it just as much as Ford while accepting that his youth has passed by and cannot be experienced again. He tends to banter with Ford and Christian, especially with the latter, as they frequently tease one another. Would be an asset to be familiar with instrument pretraining to band member, but not required.

The bassist of Daybreak. The quietest and most reserved member of the band, Christian is not entirely troubled by his old age like the others. He subscribes to the mindset that life is constantly changing and sees no use in dwelling on it. He enjoys poking fun at his bandmates, especially with Matty, and playing card games, especially Bingo. Would be an asset to be familiar with instrument pretraining to band member, but not required.

The drummer of Daybreak. Being the band's youngest member, Royee does not feel as conflicted with aging as the other men despite knowing it looms over him. He is the peacekeeper of the group, trying to end the banter between the three other men, and does his best to try and cool down the situation when things get tense. Would be an asset to be familiar with instrument pretraining to band member, but not required.
