In making the video to "Broken Year" , I was able to express the visual side of the song. The video takes place in New England with many scenes of a woman hiking through the woods. Nature has always been a place where I can reflect and heal, so I wanted the video to express the healing side of the song. "Broken Year" was written after a short-term relationship didn't work out as I had hoped it would, and I sort of just looked back at that time as a "Broken Year" where two people did the best they could.
The video, which shows a woman hiking through the forest and looking back on the relationship, brings out the idea that you can look back on events in your life through a negative or positive lens. In the end, I chose to look back at the love we shared instead of the breakup.
Enjoy the video!
