Die Briten AS IT IS haben das Musikvideo zu ihrem Song „Hey Rachel“ veröffentlicht, der auf dem aktuellen Studioalbum „Okay.“ zu finden ist. Das Drehbuch stammt von Joshua Halling, der im Clip die Kindheitsgeschichte von Sänger Patty Walters und seiner Schwester Rachel darstellt.
Walters kommentiert: „‚Hey Rachel‘ was an especially cathartic song to write, reopening old wounds after nearly ten years. Writing the song demanded being painfully honest with both myself and my sister, neither of which I was particularly comfortable doing. I had to relive past feelings of fear, sorrow, anger, pain, and, most of all, regret. The song is an apology I’m relieved and proud to have finally said. It’s such a beautiful and powerful music video, and I’m ecstatic to finally be sharing it.“
Seine Schwester fügt hinzu: „My brother sent me ‚Hey Rachel‘ without having any knowledge that they were writing it. I first listened to it at 10 a.m., and I immediately started sobbing, because it brought back so many emotions and memories from a time in my past that was very difficult for me. My brother also asked for my permission to put it on the album, and my initial reaction was actually ’no‘; it’s a scary and intimidating feeling to put a private story out into the public for everyone to hear and judge, but the feedback and the support everyone has given the song has made it a little easier to handle. And just so everyone knows, I forgave him years ago.“
