A lover tries to outrun their fears down King Street. We all know how that goes. This is the official music video for Isobel Knight's song 'Conversationalist' from her album 'Here Now', which debuted at number 5 in the independent album charts. 'Conversationalist' is about sitting across from someone and trying to figure out where they go when they're lost in their own head, and this video shows where they are in this specific instance - running from (and eventually facing) the fears that follow them around in order to be open to love.
