Cimorelli: Good Enough - Music Video Review

I have never really been a big cryer when it comes to media, (apart from when Poussey dies in Orange Is the New Black, or when Gus told Hazel that he had Cancer in the Fault In Our Stars, or when the Tsunami his in The Impossible), a media product has to really get to me before I even think about shedding a tear. This can be through good editing, the music used or the storyline. But in Cimorellis latest music video I cried for none of the reasons stated above. The reason I cried whilst watching this music video was because the song, and video is a really tough experience that I went through a few years ago. So as you can imagine, I balled my eyes out.

If you haven’t guessed it already I am talking about the release of Cimorelli’s incredible new music video for Good Enough. This heart wrenching new video shows all of the Cimorelli sisters in their most vulnerable state, there are no jokes, no fun scenes, just pure tears. As of today, the video for Good Enough as one of the most tear jerking music videos, therefor pushing back Worth It.

For those of you who haven’t heard Good Enough (have you been living under a rock?) the song describes the love, pain and emotion you go through when dealing with family trauma and/or divorce. Words like ‘drowning’ and ’broken’ are used to describe how they feel, but also the household is described as a ‘warzone’ and how their life is a ‘battle’.

If you haven’t already listened to good enough then I really suggest you do and you will realise why this is getting to so many fans.

The music video shows Cimorelli struggling to keep themselves together doing normal tasks, which shows how, when events happen they can effect what you are doing in your everyday life and how hard it is to hide what you’re going through.

Throughout the music video we do not see one single shot of the six sisters all together which indicates that no matter how much you suffer you do not feel like anyone is there for you or understands you. One of the lyrics in the song ‘I’ve spent my life trying to hide all of my weakness from everyone’ which I can speak from experience is often done when suffering as you don’t want to let your walls down, you put up a front in public, when your friends can see you, your family, your teachers at school. But once you’re alone, there is nothing stopping you, I also feel that this is due to being alone and having no distractions you can often overthink and work yourself up.

Towards the end of the music video, we see all the girls sat alone in a bathroom, on the floor. Most of the scenes they are balling their eyes out and the tears are running down their face. Which is a truthful part of family tragedy, a bathroom was often the only place you could let yourself go and release all the pain inside of you. Everywhere else there was people about of there was a chance someone finding you, again from personal experience I would often sit in the school bathroom at lunch and cry for a good 30 minutes before cleaning myself up and going to my next class. If I am being completely honest with you, I still do it now and 19 years of age when I am working full time.

What I love about this video is that Cimorelli are showing the truth or the situation, there is no sugar coating anything. This not only shows people going through this situation that they are not alone and that other people are going through what they are, it also shows people that know someone going through a hard time the truth of what goes on behind closed doors which can allow them to be more delicate around that topic.

You can watch the music video below:

 

Overall I found that this music video had an incredible truth to it and it was something that many other artists would be scared to do. Letting down their barriers and showing fans that it’s okay to not be okay and it can happen to the best of people is definitely something that many young girls need to see. Especially when going through their harder times, just a little message from their favourite band that they’re not alone can be all that a young girl needs to get through the day.

I am proud of Cimorelli for posting such an open, unique video about a very delicate topic. They are not afraid.

Stay Strong <3
