Earlier this year, L.A.’s Americana singer-songwriter Holland Belle released her EP Wanderlust.  To get a feel, Belle has now released a superbly produced video for her revenant song, Lovely Ghost.

About the song, Belle has said:  “I wrote this song during a time where I was struggling to cope with and move on from past heartache.  It’s not completely about one event, more so it’s about the walls I slowly continued to build every time I was hurt.  It made me unable to move on and make healthy choices because these same walls that protect you also hold you back, and put you in an unhealthy cycle.  You make the same mistakes over and over.  To me, it was like being haunted by the past.”

About the video, Belle says that director James Pillion’s choice to shoot the video in and around the Salton Sea “served to represent a sort of purgatory for the storyteller.  She’s forced to wander until she can find, and confront the thing that’s keeping her there. For me it was a way of showing how we all get trapped in our minds, and in our pain.  And until we find a way to confront that pain, we will never heal and move forward.”

Heal.  And go forward.
