This is probably going to make you cry…
You may have heard of Stephanie Rainey, and if you haven’t, she is one singer that music fans all over the country need to get acquainted with very quickly.
The Cork singer has been making waves in Irish music since 2011 with the release of her track ‘The One’ which did well in the Irish charts.
Earlier today, she released the video for her new track ‘Please don’t go’ and to say it’s a moving video does not do it justice, it’s heart-wrenching.
We guarantee that this song is going to be huge but the video may be even bigger as it shows a group of people, including viral internet star Cian Twomey, telling their stories of lost loved ones on story boards.
We got a little misty-eyed watching this… you’ve been warned.
Stephanie Rainey – Please Don't Go
Please Don't GoFor the past few months I’ve been working on a video for my track ‘Please Don’t Go’ that I am so honoured to share with you all. It’s hard to put into words what this video means to me and how grateful I am to the people who took part – it wasn’t easy. A few years ago, I lost my nephew very suddenly and it was something that changed my life forever. I can still remember how it felt and I know there are so many other people who have gone through the same thing in one form or another.I feel like this song has resonated the most with me since writing it. I remember the exact place it came from and it never loses its meaning no matter how many times I play it. Since then, I’ve wanted to create a music video that reflects this and which could potentially help people who are struggling with loss while also giving people a chance to tell their story.To John, Dylan, Donna, Cian, Moira, Gary, Teresa, Kate and Tony, I will never be able to thank you enough for your honesty and willingness to share what you did, it takes tremendous courage and I have so much respect for you all. To Kate O Hara, Miki Barlok, Gary Keane and Kevin Herlihy – all the time and effort you've put into this has brought it to life. I hope that whoever watches this gets something from it. All my love, Steph x
