The video follows a structure similar to that of the Oscar-winning film Moonlight, which focused on three stages of its protagonist’s life. The video for Logic’s song, which is the actual National Suicide Prevention Hotline number, depicts Cheadle as the dad holding his infant son before centering mostly on the child’s teen years that include falling for a boy, facing rejection from his family, being bullied, and contemplating suicide. Finally, it closes on a flash-forward to when the boy is fully grown, happy married man, and has been accepted by his family and by himself.
In addition, the video sees features from Alessia Cara and Khalid, both of whom sing verses in this extended version. Luis Guzmán and Matthew Modine are also in the star-studded cast.
While Logic has not commented on this powerful video, one of his reps said, “It speaks for itself,” according to Variety.
The song includes the number for the National Suicide Prevention Hotline, but it’s also important to note that The Trevor Project is a wonderful LGBTQ resource for those struggling with mental illness, depression and suicidal ideations.
The video follows Coy's Bella and the Bulldogs co-star Buddy Handleson recently revealing that he is gay.
