Meters bassist George Porter Jr., along with his band Runnin’ Pardners, have released a music video for their new song “Crying For Hope.”

It marks the first official music video GPJ and his band have published since the release of their Crying for Hope LP this past March.

Said Porter of the new clip, “‘Crying For Hope’ was inspired by the continued racial tension in our country. I wrote the song from my own pain and experience watching the events of last summer. I really just wanted to be able to feel hopeful for the future. I think the video captures both feelings of the song, the seriousness of the issue and that feeling of hope and change we all wish for.”
