Video Premiere: Happy New Tears »Where The Willow Weeps«

Channeling the folk histories of ancient sites and enchanted woodland: No Shade collective affliated Happy New Tears creates surreal landscapes at the mercy of intense emotional states in her debut music video.
Blending sci-fi sonics with infectious and ethereal vocal melodies, »Where The Willow Weeps« is a meditation on in-vain attempts to repress emotions that can’t be resisted and the cathartic release that can come from accepting these unavoidable feelings. »The Latin derivative of the word emotion literally stands for energy in motion. This song is my attempt to articulate this sensation of an emotional purge that occurs within you and the release you feel as it happens« – Happy New Tears
The video, directed by Ouroboros, the director-duo consisting of Jeremy Carne and Nikolas Kasinos frames Happy New Tears within staggering natural landscapes, metaphorically emulating the powerful emotions the song alludes to.
