This spring, I lost my mother while on European tour with WHY? and a few weeks later, on the day of her funeral, there was a catastrophic fire at my house. Paramedics were able to rescusitate my dog, but we tragically lost my partner, Josh's dog, Jackson.
Josh (Evert) and I had been working on some recordings at his Milwaukee-based studio (Silver City Studios) and in the weeks following the fire, we decided to pour ourselves into and release this song. It was originally written about finding my dog in a time of need- specifically in the early, white-knuckling days of sobriety. It ended up being a super cathartic practice for us to channel our grief into something creative. After months of not being able to step inside my house, Josh had the idea to dig in deeper to the loss and film a music video inside the burnt-out carcass of my home. Since it was taken down to the studs, we got a couple of lights from the hardware store and were able to dramatically play with light and shadow. It serves as a reminder of feeling safe in having my ugliness being witnessed by my dog in some of the lowest days of my life. 💝 https://www.molsullivan.com/dog
