The “
Family Portrait” video is a touching piece done from the perspective of a young girl who singing about fighting parents and the fear of having them split or divorce. The young girl tries to appeal to her m other to stop fighting with her father and be “pretty happy” like the family she sees on her television. At the end, the girl walks into the scene of the TV family and is finally happy herself.
The Family Portrait video is perfect for this song—emotional and heartfelt it aims straight for the gut and largely succeeds at painting a portrait of a despairing family.
