Wistfully opening with Crabtree’s emotive and serene voice, his familiar chamber pop and orchestral experimentation dramatically builds over the course of the song. As the song dims for a moment allowing the forest setting of the music video becomes audible, the calm suddenly implodes, becoming rich in texture and sound, and captivatingly ethereal.

Narrating a love story between two women, the dense, natural beauty of the forest is used as the backdrop for the romantic affair. Between the slow motion, swiftly moving camera angles, and intimacy, the music video propels the song’s delicate quality into unchartered territory.

Go On is set to be released August 14, 2015.
