Earlier this year Melbourne’s Storm The Sky made their mark with the release of their latest album – ‘Permanence’.Now the post-hardcore group have released a video for the compelling ‘Only One’. The track is inspired by the death of clean vocalist Will Jarratt’ grandparents. The video sees Will’s father, John Jarratt (Mick Taylor in Wolf Creek) play the lead character.
Will gave the explanation about the video, which you can view below:
“My Grandfather, Bruce Jarratt, died in April 2003 leaving his loving wife Helen behind. Helen was the healthiest older woman I’ve ever met. She would be jogging at 70 and just an all round happy, loving and healthy soul. She went from perfect health to also pass away just five years after Bruce. I really believe she died from a broken heart. For the ‘Only One’ video, I really wanted to try to encapsulate the true tragedy of losing the love of your life. The fact that you can’t just go with them. The reality is that you have family to look after, you have to go on even though you’re dead inside. I watched my Grandmother slowly fade away and it absolutely broke my heart. I can’t imagine the pain that she went through and the strength it took to carry on for as long as she did.
I wanted my Father to play the main character in this video because I knew it would be close to home and mean a lot to him. He plays a man that had lost the love of his life, and therefore his will to live; but pushes through because he has to for his family. He did an amazing job and I’m very proud of this video. I hope you all like it.”
