In Their Words: “This song is inspired by an awesome book called The Secret History of Wonder Woman. It tells the true story of the fascinating love triangle that created the Wonder Woman comics, and the controversy their relationship stirred up in the 1940s. For this video, I asked the director Sean McGee to create a minimalist, black-and-white visual experience, and it was his idea to recruit dancers from the Nashville Ballet. In all honesty, I didn’t think he’d be able to get even one professional dancer to sign up for this, so I was pretty shocked when he delivered THREE talented performers from our local ballet here in Nashville. And wow are they impressive! Each dancer brings a beautiful and distinct energy to the frame and I just love the simplicity of B&W with 4:3 ratio. Sean knocked it out of the park and I’m so thankful.” — Sam Outlaw
