Carolee Rainey is a singer/songwriter hailing from Massachusetts who recently put out a music video for ‘Hard Times in the Heart’, her heartbreaking and infectious little tune that I haven’t been able to stop listening to! A journey through the highs and lows of a relationship, Rainey concocts a rich and smokey Americana-infused folk song that lingers long after your first sip. With a haunting violin, a soulful bass guitar, and Carolee on guitar and vocals, ‘Hard Times in the Heart’ transports the listener to a world of melancholic beauty. A world where each note is a poignant reminder of love’s triumphs and tribulations.
Filmed in the overcast sky of the East Coast shores, the music video shifts between scenes of Rainey with the wind in her hair and the eventual breakdown of a romantic relationship. Gut-wrenchingly honest and authentic, it’s going to be hard to find someone who doesn’t relate closely to the raw emotions on display.
The title says it all really. ‘Hard Times in the Heart’. A moment (often many) that we’ve all felt and been through before. Bravo Carolee! We can’t wait to hear more!
