WATCH: This Irish Singer’s Powerful Music Video About Grief Has Gone Viral

Cork singer/songwriter Stephanie Rainey has unveiled a powerful music video that went viral within hours of its upload. 

Stephanie unveiled the music video for her most recent single Please Don’t Go this week, and within five hours of its release it racked up half a million views and over 10,000 shares.

Stephanie posted the powerful video to her Facebook page. 

It is not surprising that so many people were touched by the piece which stars members of the public who have lost loved ones, including internet star Cian Twomey.

Posting the video to Facebook, Stephanie wrote:  “For the past few months I’ve been working on a video for my track ‘Please Don’t Go’ that I am so honoured to share with you all. It’s hard to put into words what this video means to me and how grateful I am to the people who took part – it wasn’t easy.”

“I feel like this song has resonated the most with me since writing it. I remember the exact place it came from and it never loses its meaning no matter how many times I play it. Since then, I’ve wanted to create a music video that reflects this and which could potentially help people who are struggling with loss while also giving people a chance to tell their story.”
