With this new music video Brandi Carlile wanted to articulate the thought of being told you’re unworthy of unconditional love is beyond inconceivable in today’s age, but when you finally have the right to it, and that it’s still worth fighting for.when she sat down to write the closing song of her Grammy-nominated By the Way, I Forgive You with her longtime creative partners, brothers Tim and Phil Hanseroth.
“I think there is profound determination inside of all of us to prove to the rest of the world that we can make love last and weather the storms, just like anyone else. At the end of the day, marriage means something to me. We are witnessing an entire generation gaining access to a basic civil right and all of the passion and responsibility that comes with it.”
Working with director Bérénice Eveno, and an all female film crew, Golden Globe winner Elisabeth Moss brings Carlile’s narrative to life in an emotional art piece. Moss stars opposite Nicole Disson and serves as the creative director, producer and principal actor in the piece.
“I knew I wanted to be involved in this music video the moment I heard this incredible song,” Moss says. “I am so grateful to Brandi, everyone at the record company, Whooden Collective, and our exceptionally talented crew, especially Berenice, for pulling this shoot off in one day. It is something I am exceptionally proud of. As I told Brandi, I am on call for her for any music video she needs me for from now on!”
“I wanted to capture a love so deep that it permeates everything around you, every object and every inch of space,” Eveno adds, “a love that haunts you and never let’s go. That’s what this song is. It haunts you and never let’s go of you.”
