The music video, featuring actor Jimmi Simpson, adds a layer of depth to the song's themes, visually reinforcing the narrative of a bygone era that's still exerting a pernicious influence on the present. Rose's willingness to tackle these issues head-on is a testament to her growing reputation as a fearless and outspoken voice in the music world.
