North Carolina rock band Female President release "Elegy For My Father" music video
North Carolina rock band Female President have unveiled the music video for their single "Elegy For My Father,” which can be seen below.
Vocalist Dréa Atkins said this about the single:
“I wrote Elegy To My Father on an acoustic guitar at my parent's kitchen table, the day after my dad died. I helped arrange for him to be able to die at home instead of the hospital, it was his last wish. As we were getting everything ready, I had to go back to North Carolina for a couple of days, and while I was on the drive back to their home in South Carolina, he passed away at 9:19 pm. Johnny was driving the car when we got the call and as we were turning down the Coosawhatchie highway in the darkness so much music came pouring into my head. I got to sit vigil with my father before they took him, and in those moments, more music, emotion, and memories flooded my mind like ocean waves. It was that song that gave me the courage to finish the writing of the EP."
"Elegy For My Father" comes from Female President’s new EP Our Year To Grieve, which is out on digital services right now. The band are currently recording their second EP, which is slated to be released next spring.
