I was meant to be on tour when it happened, but due to the pandemic, the dates were cancelled and I was lucky enough to have time to recover at home. Most women aren\u2019t so fortunate, and have to go into work despite their tremendous emotional and physical grief. This bill would at least provide a small buffer in a difficult time, as well as an acknowledgment of the gravity of the loss. I deeply hope the UK government will recognise this need and act accordingly.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Written and directed by Welsh actor and director Tom Cullen, the visuals are permeated by the disarming honesty and integrity both Alison and Tom share as artists. Transforming their own pain into beauty, Alison and Tom created a piece of art that transmutes their trauma into a healing experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cIt was deeply meaningful when she asked me to write and direct the video for \u2018Come on Baby\u2019\u201d says Tom. \u201cIt\u2019s a searing, raw and deeply moving song.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cThe song addresses the night the miscarriage happened as directly as I could,\u201d explains Alison. \u201cI needed to face it head on. It\u2019s what the whole album is centred around.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Created out of that shared grief, the video offered an opportunity for catharsis. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cIt was both a memorial for our lost baby and also offered the chance to create the most literal visual representation of the album together. We did this in the hope that in doing so we might reach others who have been through the same experience\u201d explains Tom.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Using <strong>Pina Bausch\u2019s<\/strong> visceral dances as inspiration for the physicality of grief and miscarriage, Tom imagined two timelines; the first being the reality of their situation and the second, a metaphorical journey in which Alison attempts to escape it. She runs through the wilderness until she reaches the mountain peak where she can finally let her pain break loose. Simultaneously, in the real-life timeline, Alison dissociates. Her partner, unable to reach her, is kept at a distance; isolated, struggling with his own loss and unable to comfort her. Ultimately, he meets her at the top of the mountain, breaking through the barrier of aloneness. She can finally see him, see that he\u2019s right there. This is their pain to share.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Don\u2019t forget me, I\u2019m still here<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>We came this close together.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cShooting the video was challenging for many reasons, but was also one of the most remarkable experiences of my life,\u201d says Tom. \u201cWe shot in a short time in difficult conditions, with a skeleton crew of mostly strangers. But within hours, with the help of Ali\u2019s extraordinary and brave performance, we became a family, all working towards the goal of telling this story with the honesty and love it deserved.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cMaking this video with Tom meant there was nowhere to hide. It was important to both of us that it would be faithful to what we experienced, for ourselves of course, but also for anyone that has ever gone through this or something similar,\u201d says Alison. \u201cAs much as I wanted to fight feeling all the feelings it was pushing to the surface, I knew that anything Tom would make would be beautiful and moving. I had to relinquish control, and had to trust that he would catch me if I fell. Afterwards, although I was raw and exhausted, I felt a sense of space in my body where before there had been numbness. Dance is such a powerful tool; it\u2019s ancient and innate. We need it, like we need to sing, to honour and allow our feelings to flow through us rather than keeping them in, where they eventually harden, calcify. Some part of me knows this, and yet I don\u2019t think I would have done it without this video. It was a gift to have the reason and the space to dance this loss. It let my grief move.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Alison points to the vast weight of grief that people have carried these past few years: isolation, fear, sadness, illness, loss, and the ensuing rush to resume to normal life, without the opportunity to process it all. This is a song and album for us all&nbsp;to listen to and connect with, one that\u2019s open, giving and full of emotion.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The album \u2018Still Come The Night\u2019 is out now via Kartel Music Group.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>FOR ANYONE WHO HAS SUFFERED MISCARRIAGE AND NEEDS SUPPORT PLEASE VISIT THE <\/strong><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.miscarriageassociation.org.uk\/\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.miscarriageassociation.org.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>MISCARRIAGE ASSOCIATION<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>FOLLOW ALISON SUDOL<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/alisonsudol.com\/\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/alisonsudol.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>WEBSITE<\/strong><\/a><strong> | <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/artist\/5JpFdmGP5YVR80hwTyjhW0?si=zGBdoJDNQya5zJ12pjId3w&amp;nd=1\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/artist\/5JpFdmGP5YVR80hwTyjhW0?si=zGBdoJDNQya5zJ12pjId3w&amp;nd=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>SPOTIFY<\/strong><\/a><strong> | <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/music.apple.com\/us\/artist\/alison-sudol\/250475461\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/music.apple.com\/us\/artist\/alison-sudol\/250475461\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>APPLE MUSIC<\/strong><\/a><strong> | <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/alisonsudol\/?hl=en\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/alisonsudol\/?hl=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>INSTAGRAM <\/strong><\/a><strong>| <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/alisudol\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/alisudol\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>FACEBOOK<\/strong><\/a><strong>\u00a0|\u00a0<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/alisonsudol\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/alisonsudol\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>TWITTER<\/strong><\/a><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Photo &#8211; Alison Sudol.
