Today she has shared the video for the gorgeous, heart-rending album opener “Dead Writer,” directed by herself and Michael Casey, which also shares characters with previous videos for “Love Is Not Enough” and “September.” “The ‘Dead Writer’ character (sometimes we call him Fred) was the first in the ‘universe’ of characters we created. He was based on the old time depressive writers I love. I like playing him the best because he feels the most like my masculine form,” explains Loveless. “In the video I also play his lover who is tired of his shit and goes on apparently a very long walk. During the filming I was not drinking, so all we had when he ‘pours the booze down the drain’ was a bottle of non-alcoholic spirits, which always makes me laugh.”

The song debuts alongside a video co-directed by Mark Seliger and Tom’s daughter Adria Petty. The video stars emerging actress/dancer Casimere Jollette (Netflix’s forthcoming “Tiny Pretty Things”) and was shot around Connecticut as well as in and around Seliger’s studio in New York City. In speaking with David Fricke yesterday on SiriusXM’s Tom Petty Radio, Adria notes, “We were very resourceful about trying to create a character that could be assigned to anyone. That’s why Virginia in this video is very mysterious but she has her little glimpses of characters. We really worked to cast someone authentic—that felt like they were really feeling their feelings and someone that you could believe. We really wanted the song to do the heavy lifting in this video, and sort of step out of the way and just give it something to breathe with.” Seliger furthers, “The one idea that kept coming back to both of us is that we really want Tom to be narrating the story. We really want to hear his voice as he runs you through this journey that this woman is having.” Watch/share the video HERE.
