Although we are Canadian, we have both vowed to remain unmarried in solidarity with the millions who don't have the same rights as us around the world. We hope that our voices (and in this case…

He is a wonderful director, with a history of making emotionally intense and beautiful videos! He doesn't disappoint with I Was A Fool!
