Grammy, Emmy and Tony Award winning artist and activist Cyndi Lauper today released the touching music video for “Not My Father’s Son

 

The music video, which Lauper conceived and directed herself, gives visual to one of the most important songs from the hit show – telling the story of two very different people from wildly different backgrounds who find common ground through their shared trauma. Exploring the pressure of growing up with a parent’s very narrow expectations, the song celebrates finding peace in your own skin. The video, shot in stark black and white on New York City streets, only leaps into color as the two men, who are on a physical as well as metaphorical journey, are reunited in their safe space.
