Post-hardcore ensemble, I Prevail, have released their latest music video for their emotional track, “Every Time You Leave” featuring Delaney Jane. Earlier this month, clean vocalist, Brian Burkheiser, teamed up with Delaney Jane to perform an acoustic styling of the single – little did fans know that this was only the beginning. “Every Time You Leave” comes off their 2019 Grammy-nominated album Trauma and becomes their seventh single to house a music video.

With social and political tensions at an all-time high – I Prevail are no strangers to pushing the limits. Back in May, I Prevail revealed their highly anticipated music video for their hit, “DOA”. The track featured a facelift with a verse from critically acclaimed musician and activist, Joyner Lucas. With both the original video for “DOA” and its immersive 360 counterpart riddled with current traumas facing the country today, I Prevail and Joyner Lucas provided the proper shell shock necessary to open up conversations about all the uncomfortable things too many face day today.

Continuing to push the bounds – I Prevail’s recent release of their music video for “Every Time You Leave” touches on a subject that affects far too many Americans and those in foreign war zones. Featuring the story of a young couple, the wife is called to duty overseas – leaving behind a loving partner and life they built together. The other part of the same story features the learned enemy being called to duty to protect his own country for a cause that’s still so unclear. Through fate, the two eventually meet and bond over their longing for their family that waits for them back home. While one makes it home to their loved ones, the other parishes in the sand – delivering a deeper insight into how our military develop and live with the aftereffects of being deployed.

The video has seen immense praise from critics and fans alike – one fan tweeted, “This made me tear up. Probably [because] I’m deployed myself right now. We always wish for our loved ones to return home, but never think of the opposite side. THIS IS SO FUKN POWERFUL!!” With another commenting, “Another persons terrorist is another man’s freedom fighter/hero…” “Every Time I Leave” doesn’t paint good versus evil, local hero versus foreign enemy. Instead, it strips down both sides and reveals everyone’s true identities, people who are both serving their respected governments with loved ones waiting for their return – and sometimes that last goodbye is the final one.
