About:
Filmed and edited by Simon Slade, Amelie teamed up with Jaunita Dawn of Longgrass studios to create a intimate conversation between puppets that reflect the subtext of the lyrics to her song, The War. The song is a plea to a loved one, asking them to stay and fight the war. It’s about riding into battle alongside them, knowing that you’re fighting phantoms and they are fighting very real demons. It’s about finding your place and your strength to keep going.

“Living with mental health and addiction is a chaotic and challenging experience, one that is also so human. I’ve learned so much and this conversation represents what I wish I had known to say and what I think the response would be had they known how to say it”

Filmed in Amelie’s kitchen with Jaunita’s expert puppetry, there is something about puppets that allows for very vulnerable and truthful human discussion.

Lyrics:
I know you’re sad and sick and sorry
You wear it like a skin
You’ve made a shell and put it forward
To prevent us breaking in
It’s closing like a vice
All that love and sacrifice
Time to pay the price
And fight the war, fight the war
Fight the war, oh fight the war

I’ll be the bones, I’ll be the blood, I’ll be the muscle
You make the move
Where lies a heart that is beating
If it’s beating, that's your truth
Where the body breaks
And the toil overtakes
I’ll give you mine
But its time
To fight the war, fight the war,
Fight the war, fight the war

And hold on Darling find your fight!
Let it be your gavity that pulls you to the light
And hold on Darling find your fight!
Let it be your gravity that pulls you back to me
Fight the war, fight the war
Fight the war, fight the war

I can see it, I can see it, I can see it in your eyes
Its heavier than me, but I’m strong I’m steady
I’m like stones within the sea
So fight the war, Fight the war
Fight the war, fight the war

And hold on Darling find your fight!
Let it be your gravity that pulls you back to me
Hold on Darling find your Fight!
Don’t you dare go gentle to that godforsaken night
Just fight the war, fight the war
Fight the war, fight the war
