New Music Video: “O Mother” – Son Little

Posted on:

Below is the latest music video from Anti- recording artist Son Little, a.k.a. Aaron Livingston, for the single "O Mother." The song was inspired by the time he spent in Europe away from the U.S. and the harsh reality that overcame him after learning about the deaths of Michael Brown and Eric Garner. We thought that this video/track might be fitting at this time with all the civil unrest in the world. "Can I love the world and hate how it makes me feel? Cuz I don’t wanna kneel. Is there anyone who’s got my back for real?"
