Clipse Open Up On Their Parents’ Passing In “The Birds Don’t Sing” Video

Clipse opens up about the deeply personal video for “The Birds Don’t Sing” the heartfelt tribute to their late parents. The Brendan O’Connor-directed visual, from their critically acclaimed album Let God Sort Em Out, finds the brothers revisiting their childhood home in Virginia Beach, articulating their grief through song. When asked what it was like being back in the house where they grew up, surrounded by photos and memories of their parents, Pusha T and No Malice didn’t mince words. “I didn’t think I could do it,” Pusha admitted The brothers also confessed to mentally checking out at times while reflecting on the reality that their parents are no longer physically present. “I think I check out every day. I have that revelation like, ‘Damn. My parents aren’t here. I think about it every day. It’s something that you got to deal with,” Pusha candidly revealed. “I don’t know if it gets easier. It’s just tough. [‘The Birds Don’t Sing’] is a very real song and a reality for a lot of people. It was great to be able to articulate it through video. ”Malice added a spiritual perspective. “That’s the message and the Gospel that Christ rose. So when we get ready to go to the grave you better take the grave robber with you. I have an eternal destiny. I know this is not the end,” he said. Speaking to how they have been getting through the hard time for the last four years, he added, “We do mourn … but we don’t mourn as those who have no hope. I’m very thankful for my parents… the legacy that they left and the legacy that we get to pass down to our children. So we have to rejoice here right now in the living.
