Emily Ann Roberts - The Building
Emily Ann Roberts’ new music video, “The Building” was shot partially at the mother church of country music, the Ryman Auditorium. This song traces the Roberts family lineage from when her great-grandfather began preaching at her home church in East Tennessee more than 80 years ago. While Emily Ann sings about what this "building" did for her relationship with God, the "building" can also be any place that feels like home- a place to celebrate weddings, birthdays, the birth of a baby or the passing of a loved one. This song has gospel roots but Emily Ann is making traditional county music that sounds like what she grew up on. The gorgeous video was directed by Jeff Johnson on a single camera and the grandiose sweeping shots along with Emily Ann's stunning vocals completely captivate the viewer.
“I grew up in East Tennessee and every Sunday and Wednesday night of my life I was at church. My great-grandfather was the pastor of the church and every Sunday felt like a family reunion. My grandmother was the church secretary and my mom and dad met there at vacation bible school when they were kids. It was the first place I ever sang publicly. Even more than the home I grew up in, that little church raised me up. It taught me right from wrong and laid a foundation for my life. It’s the place where I met Jesus and everything changed. No matter where this life takes me, that place will always bring me home," said Emily Ann.
