This video starts out as what almost seems like a nightmare! It almost feels like I'm entering into a musical number. Not all music videos make you feel like this. Is this an ode to the Barnum and Bailey era or Ringling Brothers? Palaye Royale isn't one to shrink away from letting their viewers/listeners from knowing that they have felt like society feels they are freaks and outcasts. That is what the circus scene was for.

Music Therapy can only do so much 🎶🎵
