Marisa and the Moths release new music video for ‘How Did You Get So Weak?’

MARISA AND THE MOTHS have released a new music video!

The new music video, for the track How Did You Get So Weak?, is taken from the grunge rock band’s self-titled debut album, which was released in November of last year. The new music video comes in support of the band’s Time To Talk campaign; raising awareness and supporting victims of physical, mental and financial domestic abuse.

The campaign was launched on White Ribbon Day, an internationally recognised day that urges people to stand up, speak out and say no to violence against women. This year is more important than ever with a significant increase in violence, harassment, and abuse during the coronavirus pandemic. As a survivor, Marisa knows first-hand how damaging an abusive experience can be. She comments, “How Did You Get So Weak? is the question that I asked myself at the start of what ended up being an extremely traumatic relationship. I knew that there was something wrong at the time, but because of various reasons I felt too scared to leave. Now I’m on the other side of this situation, I’d really like to use the release of this song to help others.

I’m running the Time To Talk campaign to help raise awareness and understanding for the issue of domestic abuse (which includes mental, physical and financial abuse). There is a lot of negative stigma around discussing the topic, but we seriously need to start talking about it. Due to the isolation effects caused by the pandemic, this year has seen a significant increase in domestic violence, harassment, and abuse during the coronavirus pandemic. Abuse can happen to anyone. Men, women, and children. I want to let the victims know that they can get out, they are not alone, and they will be stronger for it in the end. But most importantly, that they are NOT weak, they are a victim and there is help for them out there.

The Time To Talk campaign will involve live interviews with me and various victims of abuse who have come forward to share their stories to raise awareness, with intent to hopefully inspire others in abusive situations to reach out and get the help that they need. These stories will be shared as video interviews, letter readings and phone calls on our social media platforms every day, on the run up to our music video release for our single How Did You Get So Weak?“
