It took me a few minutes and a couple of time watching it to understand exactly what happens in this video, but I definitely understood the message right away.
In the video for the 2nd single from her upcoming album, Late Nights and Early Mornings, Marsha Ambrosius provides a message for a problem that is both chilling and totally preventable: bullying.
In the video, Marsha is seen walking with a tall, dark and handsome brother in a park, and everything is fine. They are both smiling and waving at the people in the park including a mother with two small children, and the guy even daps up some other guys.
Then he comes over to Marsha's house for dinner, and is greeted by another guy who he hugs and kisses. Their embrace suggests that they are together but maybe hiding it from Marsha. The two guys are later seen canoodling and one of them wipes a tear away from the other's eyes, perhaps symbolizing the emotions that he may feel from what people say about their relationship and sort of foreshadows what it to come.
As they are walking hand-in-hand through the same park that he and Marsha did, they are confronted by the ignorance and hatred that views their relationship as wrong. The same mother with the two children takes them away when he tries to speak to them again, and the other guys also look at him differently when he waves. They then gang up on him and beat him up.
Marsha then receives a phone call from him, but it is too late as he has died while on the phone with her after taking too many pills. A letter that he wrote to her is laying on the table, stained by spilled wine. At the end of the video, a letter from Marsha is displayed on the screen:
Here is the video:
