Separation always appeals to us in a way that nothing else does. For creative artists even more so. That is precisely what happened with this video. More specifically, if your parents got divorced when you were a child (and these days, that describes many of us), this song might make you a little teary-eyed.
In a new music video called “When You Love Someone,” singer-songwriter James TW explores just how heartbreaking it can be to find out that your parents are splitting up. The 18-year-old British crooner wrote the song after learning that the parents of a young drumming student he taught were getting divorced. The music video perfectly implies the experience of watching your parents divorce, from the pre-split fights they try to shield you from, to eventually realizing you’ll always be family, regardless of their divorce.
