What you're about to see isn't just a music video — it's a touching revelation. To bring her "Please Don't Go" lyrics to life, singer/songwriter Stephanie Rainey rounded up a group of strangers who have experienced the pain of losing a loved one, be it a child, spouse, or friend. John, Dylan, Donna, Cian, Moira, Gary, Teresa, Kate, and Tony are so brave to have shared their stories on camera for all the world to see, and though you don't hear them utter a word, their story rings loud and clear. From holding up a photo of their loved one, to writing down what they would say if they had the chance, the video below is a beautiful depiction of genuine loss.
"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," Stephanie says. "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."
