Video: Rachael Yamagata - Even If I Don’tSpeaking of comebacks, Rachael Yamagata’s latest single now has an official video, in which her brother, director Josh Ruben, depicts the tune’s bittersweet ode to an adorable yet inevitably doomed romance by telling the twee tale of love between a bunny and tiger who “must split for their very natures are at odds with one another,” Yamagata told Spinner. “The costumes were insanely hot and we got some odd looks from the neighbors. [It’s the] first wardrobe that I didn’t feel self-conscious in.” Check out the Chesapeake cut above.

Rachael Yamagata has spent much of the last couple years collaborating with other artists, but this fall will see the unveiling of ‘Chesapeake,’ her first solo full-length since 2008. In anticipation of the Oct. 11 release, she is sharing the music video for the driving and expansive single, ‘Even If I Don’t.’
“I wanted to stray from the traditional way to tell a relationship story and yet still reference the bittersweet nature of a pair that falls in love, but must split for their very natures are at odds with one another,” Yamagata, who tapped brother Josh Ruben to direct the video, tells Spinner.
“We want so badly to make things work, but sometimes we’ve got to settle for as much a we can get for a time. The lingering feeling always remains … The costumes were insanely hot and we got some odd looks from the neighbors. [It’s the] first wardrobe that I didn’t feel self-conscious in. Ha!”
The video showcases a very unconventional courtship between a lion and a bunny, two species that normally aren’t romantically linked. The lighthearted clip tracks the trajectory of a romance from the innocent beginnings, all set against the spot-on narration of the song.
