Jenni Muldaur & Teddy Thompson Release Poignant Music Video for “After The Fire Is Gone” Ahead of West Coast Tour
A Visual Narrative of Lost Love and Emotional Distance, Echoing a Rich Musical Heritage
NASHVILLE — Today marks the release of the much-awaited music video for “After The Fire Is Gone,” the evocative cover by Jenni Muldaur and Teddy Thompson, originally a hit for country legends Conway Twitty and Loretta Lynn. The video, now out via Sun Records, is a poignant portrayal of a young couple’s emotional drift.
Directed by Lucy Tamarkin and produced by Henry Berger, the music video features actors Lila Dolliner and August Blum. Through a series of beautifully filmed, ambient vignettes in their home, the couple embodies the song’s haunting theme: the lingering silence and emptiness after love’s flame has dimmed. It captures the essence of a relationship where the physical closeness belies a deep emotional chasm. The couple’s lip syncing to Muldaur and Thompson’s soul-stirring vocals adds a layer of profound intimacy to the narrative.
“Our aim was to capture the song’s essence visually, echoing the emotional depth and legacy it represents,” shares Jenni Muldaur. “It’s a tribute not only to the original artists but also to our musical roots.”
“Inspired by the rich musical heritage of Sun Records and our own familial legacies, Jenni and I sought to bring a fresh perspective to these timeless songs,” Teddy Thompson adds. “This video is a visual extension of our musical homage to the greats of country music.”
The release of this music video comes just as the duo kicks off their West Coast tour.
