For the pleasant coming warmth of spring comes a song born from pain: Erin Rae‘s "Bad Mind" came out last year on her album Putting On Airs, but it gets new life as the music video for the track has just dropped. It shows Rae singing in a field of blossoming branches and flowers, showing growth even as Rae stands in wistful poses and walks with her eyes downcast. The song itself concerns Rae’s relationship fears and her coming to terms with what caused them, including memories of an Alabama court ruling her aunt to be an "unfit mother" because she was gay. The video’s mixture of pensiveness — Erin — and perseverance — how the flowers bloom every year — show that through grief, there can be growth. Rae will take her songs on the road this spring and summer; she’ll make a hometown stop in Nashville at Musicians Corner on May 25th. Catch her then; for now, watch the video for "Bad Mind" below. – Will Sisskind
