Laura Elizabeth Hughes has dedicated the video for her latest single For You (Home) to Pieta House.

“I wanted to create something beautiful that would also let viewers feel the discomfort of anxiety and depression. I wanted to show the weight, the numbness, the breathlessness, the tension.. but also the care that exists in the world to help relieve it. The care to overcome and step out of the dark, out of the sheer greyness, exists.” explains Laura.

“Pieta House is that light for so many people in Ireland, and to be able to contribute to their presence and ears is a gift. Their annual Darkness Into Light has had to be postponed due to this pandemic, and I couldn’t think of better use for a song that chronicles a journey out into the light. In a weird time where our physical health is being threatened, being in isolation means our mental health is too, and is something that needs to be looked after with equal importance.”

The video, directed by Peadar Gill (Lankum, Talos) depicts the struggle some people face when it comes to letting other people in, even at times when we need them most.

Laura was also due to play her biggest headline show to date at The Sound House in Dublin this month, with the date now rescheduled to November 19th. Tickets on sale now here. You can donate to Pieta House at: https://www.pieta.ie/donate
