Director: Sam Farage<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Country: Finland<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Duration: 06:55<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Synopsis: The 2 Down music video depicts a journey of a lonely backpacker in a vast, dreamlike landscape of a never-ending mountain range. The traveller seems to be completely lost in thought. Painful memories start to arise from the past and she is forced to dive into them. She must fight the demons of guilt, blame and sorrow within in order to break free from this mental dissonance and find forgiveness, acceptance and gratitude to replace them.  The story is about overcoming the worst of sufferings and clearing one\u2019s mind from agony. It\u2019s about facing one\u2019s deepest fears and painful emotions head on, and growing from them as a person. No one is perfect and sometimes one needs to accept what is in order to move forward in life and strive to do one\u2019s best. Life is short, and we should be spending it loving each other instead of fighting. Ultimately, 2 Down is about gratitude towards life.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
