Today's Video Share: “My Father’s Daughter” by Kristen Rae Bowden

Kristen Rae Bowden shares the new video for her song “My Father’s Daughter”.

“I lost my Dad when I was 18. He was far from a perfect person, but he was my hero all the same... a charismatic music man who could light and liven any room. Years later, I fell in love with a similarly charismatic man. (I was aware that the similarity was part of the attraction.) His artistic father had died more recently than mine, and part of our bond was this shared event in our pasts - the loss of our fathers.

Sometimes shared sadness or trauma can spark attraction, but it’s a shaky foundation upon which to build. Our romantic relationship was unstable and chaotic. I wrote this song in the middle of the night, during this confusing time in my life. The lyrics speak to the complexities of a doomed relationship where there truly is love, and the fact that “daddy issues” are definitely not limited to daughters.” ~Kristen

 The video was directed and edited by Aaron Farrington, filmed in Earlysville, VA, by Aaron Farrington, Abel Okugawa, and Jay Taylor, and features Kristen Rae Bowden, Laura Dillon Rogers, Tom Garstang, Peter Markush, and Jay Taylor.
