Singer-songwriter Brandi Carlile unveiled the official video for By The Way, I Forgive You track “Party Of One.” Carlile recruited Whooden Collective to produce the video, which stars Elisabeth Moss (Mad Men / The West Wing).
“When I thought about making a video for ‘Party Of One’ I couldn’t stop picturing Elisabeth’s face. I believe she is the absolute best actor out there right now, no one has ever impacted me so much without saying a word,” Carlile shared. “I never even asked anyone else.” Brandi sent Elisabeth a note asking her to star in the video. Moss called her back and brought up the vision of creating a love story about two women shown in the clip. “A brilliant group of women are responsible for every part of this incredibly human love story and I’m more proud of it than anything visual I’ve ever done,” Carlile added.
Read Elisabeth Moss’ statement about the video:
“The main reason I wanted to be involved in this music video was because of this incredible song. I had accosted Brandi when we were both on Ellen because I had been obsessively listening to her cover of Bryan Adams ‘Heaven’ to help me prepare for a cover I had to do of it for the movie, Her Smell. When she sent me this song and shortly afterwards had asked me to be involved in the creation of the video, I said yes immediately because I fell so head over heels in love with the track. It’s one of those most beautiful musical pieces I’ve ever heard, right down to the string arrangement at the end.”
