Keenan is the star of the video, however it&#8217;s the mannequin who steals the show, with the various poses and angles giving the effect that she is an actual participant. The clip is sad and humorous at the same time, as we see Patrick take the mannequin for a drive &#8211; after having first dressed her and had a little dance &#8211; has a picnic, plays cards with, and holds her hand. It&#8217;s a love story with a twist.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Winter Sounds can be found online on their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thewintersounds.us\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">official website<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/thewintersounds\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Twitter<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/thewintersounds\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Facebook<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/thewintersounds\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Instagram<\/a>.
