Psychic Twin, the project of songwriting and producer Erin Fein, returned last month with her brand new single “Water Meets Land.” She’s recently returned with a brand new music video for the track which was directed by Adam Weinberg.
Both the track and video see Fein bravely confront the sexual assault that she suffered and gives her an artist outlet after the horrible incident. Find her description about the video as well as the meaning behind right here:
This video is a very precious collaboration between myself and director Adam Weinberg. Inspired by surrealist cinema, the colors and aesthetics speak very strongly to the visual world in which Psychic Twin exists for me — it is an expression of self inflicted pain and the eventual and essential acceptance, love and forgiveness I was able to find for myself in order to heal.
I have gone back and forth what feels like 1,000 times on whether I should be more specific when discussing what this video is actually about. No one would really be able to discern the underlying meaning if I don’t speak about it, and that is why I realize, in this case, that I have to. I feel if i don’t, it undermines what the purpose of this song and these visuals really were for me. A platform to process and discuss what it’s like to survive sexual assault. I, like so many people, endured a really difficult situation in my former place of work and it took me many years to talk about it. It was only with the strength of the other women affected that I was able to confront it at all. This video, for me, is a visual depiction of the process of confronting that internal pain and forgiving myself for what I thought i was my fault. Learning to love myself again and to care for myself the way one needs to, to survive what it feels like to be violated like that. To anyone who may read this, I want you to know you’re not alone and you can contact me personally, if you want advice on how to proceed if you’ve been in a similar situation.
With all my love,
Erin
