A Different Thread - "Amaranth" (Official Music Video)

Amaranth was written during a tough winter in Brooklyn. It came from a place of self love and healing after finding a flower blooming in the concrete sidewalk. Writing it helped me to feel more resilient and realise that I can choose to grow and bloom too, even in harsh circumstances. We hope it offers a little warmth to anyone who needs it this holiday season, or anytime the world feels cold. This music video was shot in Brooklyn using time-lapse footage. We wanted to portray the feeling of loneliness / when the world feels too much. We wanted to share the message behind the song: You can be your own light in dark seasons, to discover inner strength, and hold onto hope.
