Video: Caroline Says – “Faded and Golden”

From The Lucky One, out October 11 on Western Vinyl.

Caroline Says is Caroline Sallee and she’s moved around a lot. She was raised in Alabama. She moved to Austin. Then back to Alabama. And now she’s based in Brooklyn. That much moving, more than anything, reveals that you can’t go home again.
